DoJ Complaint Filed Against FBI Head James Comey

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, D.C. - October 28, 2016 - The Democratic Coalition Against Trump filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility on Friday against FBI Director James Comey for interfering in the Presidential election, following the FBI�s decision to open up an investigation into Secretary Clinton�s emails this close to Election Day. Federal employees are forbidden from participating in political activities under the Hatch Act.

�It is absolutely absurd that FBI Director Comey would support Donald Trump like this with only 11 days to go before the election,� said Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the Democratic Coalition Against Trump. �It is an obvious attack from a lifelong Republican who used to serve in the Bush White House, just to undermine her campaign. Comey needs to focus on stopping terrorists and protecting America, not investigating our soon to be President-Elect Hillary Clinton.�

The more I think about it the more frustrating I find Comey's letter. It's incredibly vague and considering the subject matter and timing he really should have said something a little more concrete with regards to who and what was being investigated.

Honestly, I'd accept an "aww shucks" from anyone else saying they didn't realize it would garner this kind of reaction but Comey knew full well what he was doing with a vaguely worded letter like that. What an rear end.

Lol this was shared by someone on my Facebook feed:

POINTS TO PONDER BEFORE ELECTION DAY :

If you are Gay, why are you voting for Hillary? She wants to bring in hundreds of thousands of refugees that believe all Gays should be executed.

If you are Black, why are you voting for Hillary? She admires Margaret Sanger and defends Planned Parenthood. They want to abort as many black babies as possible. "Exterminate the Black Race because they are like weeds." Most of those clinics are in Black neighborhoods.

If you are a Christian, why are you voting for Hillary Clinton? She wrote her Senior Thesis on Saul Alinsky. He dedicated his book "Rules for Radicals" to Lucifer, The Devil? She says he was and still is her mentor.

If you are a Veteran, in the military, or closely related to a military member, why are you voting for Hillary? She left those men to die in Benghazi and had the nerve to lie about it over and over again. They called for help but the help was told to stand down.

If you have factory job, why are you voting for Hillary? She supported TPP. Factory workers are being laid off because jobs are going overseas.

Don't forget the deals she made with China. She also welcomes open borders and for illegals to get benefits with YOUR tax money.

If you are poor, why are you voting for Hillary? She is supporting Wall street and all the big banks. Big banks keep the poor, poor by destroying the poor man's credit by allowing medical bills and collections to affect your credit scores so you can pay higher interest rates than the rich. - Taking as much of the little money you earn.

If you are a woman, how can you vote for Hillary? She has buried all of Bill's rape victims under the rug. Remember the little girl that was raped? She defended the rapist and laughed about it later.

If you carry a gun, and believe in the Constitution, how can you vote for Hillary? She wants to eliminate the NRA, take your guns, and abolish the second amendment.

I won't delete the person who shared it, because she's the mother of a close friend who committed suicide last year, but Jesus Christ these people are insane.

These and the "people need to WAKE UP!!!" types

I think the best part of those is each one of those points is easily refutable, but they will just get upset if you tell them they're wrong.

Yep. A former coworker shared that stupid photo of a black woman standing on the American flag, while holding some other flag, but with a very badly photoshopped Hillary campaign flag superimposed. When it was pointed out that it was photoshopped (and badly), he went to the standard "photoshopped or not, it's a correct representation" or what the gently caress ever

Abortion being racist is nearly the same thing as saying Democrats today used to support slavery.

So after reading the statement and some other articles analyzing the fallout, it looks like Comey is being far more vague than he really should have been.

We may also be so close to the finish line (and Clinton's lead in states like VA and PA is wide enough) that it probably won't change much other than possibly shifting some of Johnson's votes to Trump.
