Full title: Former DNC chair Ed Rendell: Clinton campaign is making a mistake by attacking FBI director
(CNN)Ed Rendell, the former governor of Pennsylvania and former Democratic National Committee chairman, said Tuesday that Hillary Clinton's campaign was making a mistake by attacking FBI director James Comey over how he handled recent developments into the investigation of Clinton's private server.
"I think that's, I wouldn't do that," Rendell told radio host Rich Zeoli on 1210 WPHT Philadelphia. "Again, you know, I'm not running the campaign by any means, but I wouldn't do that. I agree with you."
Earlier in the interview, when the host said he thought that the strategy of attacking Comey was a "mistake," Rendell replied, "I generally do as well."
Rendell added in the interview that the resurrection of the email controversy would encourage Republicans to turn out for Trump.
"I think the FBI stuff gave a boost to Trump, not because it changed anyone's mind but because I think it took a couple of Trump voters who were pretty discouraged last week with all the news about the polls and stuff and probably weren't gonna vote and now they're on fire and they're gonna vote, so I anticipate, as I said last week, but I even anticipate it more so that it's gonna be a close election here in Pennsylvania," Rendell said.
In the interview, Rendell also expressed concern about public transport workers striking in Philadelphia, saying that if the strike was not resolved by Election Day, it could hold down turnout and be "a real plus for Donald Trump."

I will drop $100 on FR if Trump takes PA and wins this election.
Trump will take PA... All the psyop depression of turnout has fallen away and the anger is greater than ever. Trump will win PA and it won’t be that close.
Too late. The FBI already struck back.
ok I’ll second you.
you don’t poke a bear who is looking at you with hungry eyes.
Attacking Comey is tantamount to asking for a Special Prosecutor.
LETS HOPE THAT STRIKE LASTS!!!
I sure do miss Ed Rendell as the DNC chairman (never thought I’d say that)
AMEN!!! The STRIKE will win votes for TRUMP!!
I kinda think a public transportation strike during an election would boost turnout, not “hold down turnout”, ya know, since folks are being forced to stay put in their valid voting location, with nothing to do but go and vote at their valid voting location. Why are busses so important during an election, Ed? Hmmm.
Fast Eddie has a characteristic unusual for ‘rats - he tends to say what’s on his mind - said Gore shouldn’t challenge the 2000 vote and got bounced from the leadership of the DNC - maybe he should stick with his post-game analysis for the Eagles.....

Yes. They have struck back and will continue to all week. The Clinton insiders who know where the bodies are buried will start getting very nervous.
I believe Comey finally realized that he’s been played for a fool and decided he didn’t want to end his career as a fool
No. Union people will not go vote if it’s on their own time, only if it’s on company time.

At what point can the president pardon? During the investigation or after the conviction or anytime between the two?
Next question for Fast Eddie. Would you do what Donna Brazile did? Should she be thrown out as one of your successors at the DNC
Fast eddie rendell was his nickname wasn’t it?
Westmoreland County, once such a Democrat stronghold that Mondale carried it in Reagan's 49 state sweep in 1984 has not given our majority vote to a Democrat presidential candidate since 1996.
