    Why the eff is everyone here letting James Comey off the hook? The guy who ignored DoJ instructions on not doing anything that night interfere in an election in the 90 days beforehand, and deliberately held a press conference just days before the election to say that Hilary was still under investigation, then ‘cleared’ her shortly after it?

    The MAGAts who were pissed about a black President were never going to vote for a woman, but that Comey presser gave enough doubts to swing the election. And he conveniently ‘forgot’ to mention that Trump and several of his people were also under investigation. Fuck Comey.

      Comey didn’t inform the public. He informed congress who then leaked it to public and Comey only came forward to adress the media after they spread the leak.

      Admittedly he should have also informed congress that Trump was also under investigation for colluding with a foreign state with credible evidence against him, but the FBI won’t reveal ongoing investigations unless Congress orders them to.
