Liar Reid Slams Comey
American Thinker ^ | November 1, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 11/01/2016 2:45:29 AM PDT by Kaslin

Chutzpah has a new poster child and his name is Harry Reid. The man who stood idly by as the IRS used its ultimate power to target the Tea Party and other groups in 2012 in order to reelect President Obama, the man who lied on the Senate floor about GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, now claims that FBI Director James Comey violated the Hatch Act by fulfilling his obligation to notify Congress regarding new evidence in the Hillary email investigation:

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid set off a firestorm of criticism Sunday after he said that FBI Director James Comey "may have broken" a federal law when he disclosed on Friday that his office was pursuing potential new evidence related to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server less than two weeks before the presidential election.

The Senate minority leader from Nevada wrote in a letter that Comey may have violated the Hatch Act, which bars government officials from using their position to influence an election.

"I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election," Reid wrote. "Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law."

Reid, who is retiring from the Senate at the end of his term, added that Comey's "highly selective approach to publicizing information, along with your timing, was intended for the success or failure of a partisan candidate or political group."

The sad thing is none of the 54 towers of gelatin that define themselves as Republicans that were elected to serve in that august body ever call him out on these lies and slanders.

Except Cruz, who called him a liar on the floor.

I did not like Cruz for President, but he is great in the Senate

His efforts at relevancy have rendered him irrelevant.

Reid appears to be immune from libel. “any other place” might be a good case for SC to decide.

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place. Article I Section 6 of US Constitution

Hairy says Comey may have broken the law? Hairy is an expert at breaking the law. It's just too bad we can't take a look at his emails and find the details. But he probably is too smart to do his Dirty Hairy deals by email. He knows face to face is the safer way.

Harry is done in a matter of weeks. He was the only one with so little to lose that he was pushed in front of a camera to go on attack. Every other Dem in DC is wondering what is on those emails.

“Reid, who is retiring from the Senate at the end of his term...”

Best sentence in the whole article.

Reid may or may not end up in a cell in this life but he’s sure headed for a cell in hell in the next.
