Vanity: Did Comey re-open investigation to save his own ass?
Me

Posted on 10/31/2016 9:24:11 AM PDT by rickmichaels

Did Comey's fear of Trump becoming president and having Trump's AG investigate his own unwillingness to investigate Hillary's criminal activities prompt him to change his tune?

Thoughts?

I don’t know why he did this. He is bought and paid for via the foundation. Maybe the check bounced? I still don’t trust what is going on.

You know they are going to have a yuge lie put out about Trump.

CORRUPT COMEY BETTER try to save his ass. President Trump isn’t going to keep him.

If so, that was a huge gamble on his part. He must’ve known Trump had a great % chance of winning or why risk what he’s receiving right now?

Scott Adams (Dilbert) has an interesting article on Comey’s motivation:

Comey did this to try and placate the army of dissidents he has in the FBI and NYPD and stall them for 11 days. If Hillary wins, then the whole thing will vanish in a puff of smoke. If Trump wins, Comey will need a plan B... perhaps a plane ride to a remote little island in the South Pacific.

Comey couldn’t control the evidence. The NYPD have the original laptop and files. They won’t give them up to the corrupt FBI. He was cornered.

I was thinking that something is coming out that is REALLLLY worse than what we’ve seen so far...and this guy sees it as a chance to redeem himself, so he wants to get out ahead of it.

It would have to be exceptionally awful because he has thoroughly covered himself with Dookie at this point.

It’s just a guess, though

It is fun to speculate, since most of us are so far away from anyone knowing the facts that we feel left out. (Let’s face it, we are all flyover country deplorables now.) But there are so many slimy players with their own agenda Machiavelli couldn’t figure this one out. And, if he did, it would be published in the “National Enquirer” right next to, “I had Elvis’ alien baby,” and none of us would believe it.

I’m going to go with the very simple, unconspiritorial, thesis that he felt ethically bound to.
Make whatever you will of that.

He told Congress and the American public that the investigation into Hillary was closed and that she was cleared of charges.

If it came out later that at the time of the election the investigation was ongoing, he would have gone down in history as the most corrupt FBI director ever.

He hasn’t personally seen the emails and couldn’t take the risk that there was something in there he couldn’t cover up.

If it came out later there was evidence of crimes and that the FBI was investigating this at the time of the election when Comey had told everyone they were not investigating it, he would be as revered as Benedict Arnold in history.

Cover Up Comey is probably having his people frantically search the emails for any mention of Obama or other sensitive issues that could embarrass this corrupt administration. That screening process will produce Comey’s own “Life Insurance” folder. At this point, Comey is looking out for himself.

Precisely.

Because we pay attention to the actual indicators of enthusiasm like online poll responses and rally crowd sizes (unlike "polls," you just can't fake these, kiddies...), we know that Trump is winning in a massive blowout.

There is a time in any such scenario for faking polls, pretending you're winning, and using these tactics to dampen the actual enthusiasm out there.

That time was weeks ago. We are now one week from electing Trump. The time for these sleight-of-hand ministrations is over. The tidal wave is coming, and Comey (and the rest of the RATS!!!) know it.

He had no choice beyond either joining the good guys or putting on his own noose.

As many are writing and saying, it seems that the Weiner probe (Ha!) by the NYPD may have created a situation that information was made available to, and was going to be leaked by, people that Comey/DOJ could not control. So that left him no choice but to do what he did.

On the other hand, I also have the feeling that Jarrett/Obama are knee deep in this whole thing in some way. It may be that the internals are showing DJT with a significant lead and that they had to create a crisis (Hatch Act/Constitutional Crisis) to at the last minute delay/cancel the election. IMO, they will do anything to keep DJT from the WH, anything.....

Perhaps the TV newsphonies had a moment of truth when they were caught off guard. Some of them were speculating that Comey was in a lose-lose situation, as the information about the renewed investigation would be leaked if he didn’t send the letter.

It's hard to believe...why didn't he feel ethically bound when he let clinton off the hook before?
