All this “Hatch Act” nonsense is just one or both of the following:

There is still and ACTIVE Never-Trump conspiracy out there by Republican elites, crazies and so-called “conservatives-of-conscience” working to undermine Trump’s road to victory in these last days (they won’t stop), and/or

Outcries from Democrats and Media and snakes still trying to minimize Hillary’s part in all this criminality and “attach the messenger” as something “horribly illegal was done” (in obtaining that information the proves their gal is guilty).

It is one or both; what matters is they are one in the same in being against Trump and trying to get Hillary elected in the face of a mountain of evidence.

A former Bush ethics lawyer… so what does one do as a Bush ethics lawyer? Wrestle with decisions about how high a price they can set for political access? Agonize over the choice of which nation or organization to use U.S. military force on at the behest of the Saudis? Dither over whether it is better to give jobs to illegal immigrants in the US or just send the work to China? Justify why a vote for Donald Trump is worse than a vote for Lavrenti Beria? Prove through reason and logic why every other president has to be a member of the Bush Dynasty for the good of everyone else?

Everyone needs to be very careful about taking out Comey. Rather than pushing this reopening, I really think he did everything he could to avoid it and is now doing everything he can to control it, but he is at the head of an agency that is near full and open revolt.

If Comey falls, for whatever reason, I believe there are senior agents willing take the evidence directly to the voters, and to hell with their retirement pensions.

This is the FBI we are talking about. Their credibility means a lot to them and Hillary has dirtied them like they have never been dirtied before. They do not like it and they are not in the mood to let her get away with it.

IIRC in his do-nothing appearance before Congress the first time he was to keep them informed of any updates. This either was through his testimony, or by panel requirements.

What he did was updating the Panel and informing them per agreement in my book.

Why didn’t he file it when the FBI ‘cleared’ Hillary? That was interfering

those who are exempt:

(i) an employee paid from an appropriation for the Executive Office of the President; or

(ii) an employee appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, whose position is located within the United States, who determines policies to be pursued by the United States in the nationwide administration of Federal laws.

I wonder if there are any damning emails on Weiner’s laptop with Bush family fingerprints on them?

Typical Bushy Uniparty scumbag. Doesn’t want to see W’s sister-in-law to get what she so richly deserves. He probably wishes it was a nice, civil, JEB! v. Hillary! election as they had planned.

Looks like “Hatch Act” is the talking point for the next couple of days. You can just hear the CNN phones dialing up their experts for three-on-a-screen discussions.

Can we all hope the Bush family changes their enrollment for good after this?

To the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, aka the PRI.

The Saudis are the key agent of corruption here and the Bush family is notoriously quite close to them.

This country needs to start considering policies like wiping out the Saudi Royal Family to the last man, woman, and child, recovering all its assets as war compensation.

Wondering if this Richard Painter is the same dude who made a couple of small, around $20, donations to Donald Trump this summer. IF so, why did Paintee do that...?

I would like to believe you on this, but...consider the other scenario.

“Never let a crisis go to waste...”

If your scenario happens, Obama and Congress could/will suspend the election and that could be indefinitely.

They are already murmuring about unprecedented and laws being violated by the FBI...legal bombshells are not unusual or unprecedented. They did it to Bush and Nixon, Hillary though is on a bigger scale.

I offer the idea that this “bombshell” is not really a bombshell they are trying to make it out to be. It is the last ditch effort to stop the election of Trump by stopping the election due to this false flag crisis. They had those emails for nearly over a month and are dropping them now?

Yup, if the same guy, 2 $20 donations to Trump’s campaign in July, coming ten days apart. Weird.

A lot of these scumbags are under the mistaken impression that very bad things are not going to happen to them in retaliation for their treachery.

There’s a jpainter@hillaryclinton.com in the Podesta emails. Wonder if he/she is any relation to Richard.
