Hillary Clinton Assails James Comey, Calling Email Decision ‘Deeply Troubling’

Hillary Clinton and her allies sprang onto a war footing on Saturday, opening a ferocious attack on the F.B.I.’s director, James B. Comey, a day after he disclosed that his agency was looking into a potential new batch of messages from her private email server.

Treating Mr. Comey as a threat to her candidacy, Mrs. Clinton took aim at the law enforcement officer who had recommended no criminal charges less than four months earlier for her handling of classified information as secretary of state.

“It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election,” Mrs. Clinton said at a rally in Daytona Beach, Fla. “In fact, it’s not just strange; it’s unprecedented and it is deeply troubling.”

For Democrats, it was also deeply worrying. Mrs. Clinton’s advisers expressed concern that the F.B.I.’s renewed attention to emails relating to the nominee would turn some voters against her, hurt party candidates in competitive House and Senate races, and complicate efforts to win over undecided Americans in the final days of the election.

So after stepping gingerly around the issue on Friday, calling on Mr. Comey to release more specific information but not overtly criticizing him, her campaign made it personal on Saturday, accusing the director of smearing Mrs. Clinton with innuendo late in the race and of violating Justice Department rules.

The decision to target Mr. Comey for his unusual decision to publicly disclose the inquiry came during an 8 a.m. internal conference call, after aides saw reports that Justice Department officials were furious, believing he had violated longstanding guidelines advising against such actions so close to an election.

Hillary wishes Comey had sat on the information until after the election, at which point she would ask "What difference, at this point, does it make?", as she did about the dead American diplomats in Benghazi.

Comey was the left's guy not too long ago...

It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election...

Yeah, sorta like a bunch of women coming forward three weeks before the election on an event that supposed to have happened 11 years ago.

Payback's a bitch, Hillary.

[scooby321]

Hillary you running for President is troubling

[JudyinCanada]

So true! Comey was wonderful just a few months ago. His name was trotted out to exonerate Crooked. Now, he’s beneath contempt. How quickly things change with this bunch.

[bigbob]

Was looking at DU and how they now HATE HATE HATE James Comey even though he was their hero last week. Fools.

[Rome2000]

Mook, (KLINTOONS HOMOSEXUAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER), citing a report that a warrant had not been obtained by the FBI to examine Abedin’s emails, claimed that it’s possible nobody has looked at the emails on the laptop

This is bullshit disinformation from some scumbag communist liars in the Congressional Black Caucus who were quoted anonymously in a story by Yahoo.

All of the rest of the jackal pack media liars are running with the nonsense that "nobody has seen whats in these e-mails".

Nobody does what Comey did without seeing the evidence.

[thinden]

one thing is for certain about this latest revelation:

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE HILDABEAST BODY DOUBLE ANY MORE.

[ColdOne]

“It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election.....................strange, translation....why the F did they do this to us?

[wardamneagle]

Instant Karma is a bitch. Poor poor Hillary who hasn’t made an honest living her entire life.

A lot of the dem apologists are trying to claim that

1. The "investigation" is not an investigation of Hillary - ludicrous, at best; or

2. The investigation will not influence voters.

If this is true (and we know they aren't) why are the slobbering morons raising holy hell?

[Fiddlstix]

Burn In The Hottest Flames Of The Devil’s HELL Hillie You Slutty Trashy Tramp!

“He’s not in my pocket!”

[Terry Mross]

Speaking of down ballot races, lots of republicans have been trying to distance themselves from Trump. Now, they’re starting to “come home”.

How long before democrats involved in close campaigns start trying to distance themselves from Hillary. “To tell you the truth, I never did like the bitch.”

[LydiaLong]

Hillary: “It is deeply disturbing that anyone would be questioning my illegal activity. Do they know who I am?”

[Brilliant]

What I want to know is this: Is Anthony Weiner a Russian spy? He may be the one who’s been leaking all these emails to Wikileaks.

[Terry Mross]

Comey has read the emails. He just hasn’t read them “officially” and “Legally” yet. A cop can look through a window and see dope. He knows it’s there. But he still has to get a search warrant to make it “officially” there.

And whatever Comey has seen is bad. If she gets elected and it comes out he would be charged for treason for not at least attempting to get it out there. He’s probably praying WikiLeaks puts it out and gets him off the hook.
