Comey trying to cover his rear end in case he wants to run for a seat or something with the Repubs in the future. Nothing more, nothing less.

Comey and Chaffetz should write a book on what not to do in politics. They certainly have the experience for it.

Nessus posted:Your posts are essentially stating that Huma Abedin is responsible for her husband's criminal activities, which are just desserts for her to lose her job. You have also been implying she is actually complicit in them, as best as I can tell. Hanging out with creeps, pedophiles, sex offenders, or people affiliated as such while running for office is a fantastic way to commit political suicide. And no. She's not complicit. But she is stupid for getting entangled in it, especially if she was already aware of his activities (i.e. anything no later than his admission back in 2011). These are the kind of legal battles you would do best to avoid for your entire life. And the general public will always see it in a worse light than above. You're going to have an even hard time convincing anyone of the FBI being apolitical in nature. This has simply never been true but somehow this lie is being perpetuated in this thread.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Remember a few hours ago when people said this was going to make Trump win lol there's scenarios where it has no impact, but i can't envision a reality where this helps clinton. the big three cable news companies are still running with "FBI Reopens Investigation On Clinton," which is not a good look for the campaign. idk what the effect on polling will be, but it will likely not be positive this thread should probably try to find a happy medium between the "the future is obdurate. the democrats will win the presidency and the senate" and the "everything matters. clinton is going to lose and we are all going to die" crowd. this apology would be more believable if the original message had been delivered to the public in the form of a press conference explaining the situation instead of in a vague and vaguely menacing letter to congress

Was Comey's letter to Congress originally released by Comey to the public as well, or was Chaffetz patient zero in all of this?

So Huma is supposed to divorce her husband for sexting five years before he's suspected of anything illicit? And Hillary is supposed to fire Huma because her husband was sexting? The Democratic Party forced him to resign nearly immediately and never backed him as soon as it broke in 2011.

The perception is not good. Who loving cares? Not a rhetorical question. Who is the person that actually cares about this, and what reaction does that have on the election in general?

Comey knew that if it came out that he was continuing anything related to the Clinton investigation without having said anything, it could only make him look bad. Congress would say he lied to them and was trying to protect Clinton. Clinton supporters would be mad he was continuing and investigation that they think is illegitimate. Sending the memo to Congress is a really easy call on his part.

I had a horrible day at work. Like, my account was $80k under for the month on a topline annual revenue of $6mil. It's going to take all year to claw back. I can't loving imagine a day at work like these people are having. It's not worth it

FlamingLiberal posted:It's better that Obama avoids getting involved, it's just going to make it seem like Obama is trying to shut up someone trying to 'expose' Clinton (in some people's views). I do think that there is a shift now against Comey for doing this so close to the election and not providing any details about what was going on, which then left it to the media to fill in the gaps. Half of Republicans are still birthers. It's time to stop worrying about their perceptions.
