It's not about Hillary's emails and the election! It's about ending democracy in America!

Here is a sampling of headlines from the past 24 hours:

• Did the FBI director break the law when he told Congress about Clinton-related emails? Maybe. (The Fix)

• FBI mad bomber James Comey needs to resign (New York Daily News)

• FBI's James Comey under fire after jolting presidential race (MSNBC)

• James Comey: Hillary Clinton email inquiry is FBI chief's latest controversy (Guardian)

• So much for the 'upstanding' James Comey: The FBI director's long career as preening partisan hack (Salon)

• What is the Hatch Act — and did James Comey break it? (CNN)

• Dozens of former federal prosecutors sign open letter criticizing James Comey (Huffington Post)

• Democrats fire at FBI director over email move (Wall Street Journal)

More headlines about an FBI investigation are probably the last thing Clinton wanted in the home stretch of the race. But the good news for her is that even some of her critics in the media think Comey is treating her unfairly — and that is exactly what her campaign has argued from the outset.

The more that the story revolves around Comey in the next eight days, the better it will be for Clinton.

1. After Loretta Lynch tells Comey the POTUS wants his resignation,

Hillary will get to choose her own FBI Director!

3. The saddest thing about this is how Republican partisanship...

is used to justify hurting America and Americans.

Their hatred and bigotry blinds them to the destructive forces they are unleashing.

And our only hope is this remains a minority of voters.

4. more likely...

he will be told by an ally that the president has lost confidence in his leadership. He will be given time to mull that over.

Loretta lynch won't initiate it. The president will.

But even before that, she can just order him to recuse himself from any further media contact. That all press releases will go through the protocol committee (forget the name) and then be made public by justice, not the fbi.
