Harry Reid accuses Comey of sitting on proof of Trump-Russia ties, possible Hatch Act violation
CBS ^ | 30 Oct 2016 | REENA FLORES

In his last few months in the Senate, Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, isn’t pulling any punches -- especially after the recent revelations by FBI Director James Comey that more emails were found that could be related to the Clinton email probe.

The pugilistic Reid, who plans to retire after finishing out this term in Congress, penned a blistering letter to Comey Sunday, accusing the FBI chief of holding back “explosive” information about Donald Trump’s close Russian ties while possibly violating the Hatch Act by reviving the Clinton email investigation.

“Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over another,” Reid wrote, adding that through Comey’s “partisan actions, you may have broken the law.”

The Nevada Democrat went on to insinuate Comey’s violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits “activity directed towards the success or failure” of a candidate by executive branch employees.

“[Y]our highly selective approach to publicizing information, along with your timing, was intended for the success or failure of a partisan candidate or political group,” Reid wrote.

Comey was going to let her go. What about that Harry? You didn’t think it was partisan then.

[Russian ties]

Dingy Harry Reid is helping to lay the groundwork for Obama stirring up trouble with Russia in Syria, which could lead to World War IV. Hillary - blames Russia. Obama - blames Russia. Harry Reid - blames Russia.

This is my tinfoil but these people will start World War IV before any of them can get hauled off to prison.

He can say those tings because it is almost impossible to defame a public figure.

Harry should be careful, who was it that sold our uranium to the Russians? He could open a big can of worms.

Gowdy just implied on FNC that Reid must be using drugs to release a statement like that!

Unfortunately, Harry... your Democrat party is more of a threat to American national security and our way of life than the Russians are.

And people may finally be waking up to that fact.
