It’s called “loyalty”.
Why does he have to “have something”? Why can’t Comey just be a scumbag? He’s a “Republican” who accepted a job from Obama after all, so he must be a scumbag.
Maybe there’s something in the vanity posted about 90 minutes ago (and still on the front page) asking the same question?
He knew, based on Comey’s treatment of Scooter Libby, that he was a RINO at heart.
It may turn out to be the best move possible. If he had recommended indictments, they would have just ignored them. It gives Trump fodder for the general election run up. When Trump becomes President he can revisit the case, and he will.
The NSA.
The only thing that comes to mind, is “FEAR”
Think about it...
Obama and the democrats, all sold Comey on the fear factor. The fear factor being that, if he recommended bringing charges to Hillary, that Hillary’s campaign would be forced to end, and if that happened, that Comey would be accused of bringing down the democrats’ presidential candidate, and would furthermore be accused of deciding the election by leaving the door wide open for an easy victory by Trump against whoever replaced Hillary as the candidate.
Being forever known as the person who brought down Hillary and the democrats’ only hope to win the presidency, and the democrats were not going to let Comey get away with it.
DUI with fatality where he skated?
Drunken frat-house shower orgy?
He’s secretly a wife beater?
Probably what DiGenova said on Ingraham this morning: He’s been covering up gross malfeasance at the El Paso RA.
Then there are the NM allegations about corrupt cops being used as paid-perjurers and bagmen by corrupt FBI agents, with full knowledge at the agency level.
Point is, it’s obvious that Comey is “owned” by Obama/Clinton. They could have had him recite from the Koran or Mein Kampf, and he would have.
He was picked by obama for the job right? So he has nothing on him. He is just as corrupt as obama.
This crap again? Comey is a gutless inside the beltway scumbag. End of story
Post #1 :
‘Something I am sure, but I am not sure what.’
I have long been suspicious of Director Comey; as he was an Obamatollah appointee, but I’d like to believe he still is an honorable patriot...
Could it be possible that he outsmarted/outplayed The Bitch?
Interesting times in the U.S.A. ~ Director Comey may have an ‘ace up his sleeve’ ~ and hopefully President Trump may be the one to put those criminals behind bars...
‘scuse my optimism and naiveté ~ I believe there is still hope!
By the way when do the mass resignations start? Guess what that was another lie
I think when the FBI discovered that Obama was included on the SAP messages email chain along with possibly other high ranking administration officials that it was decided to bury the investigation.
Can you imagine the damage that this would have caused? (I know Freepers can) Bring down the president, and possibly future president, probably the SECDEF, and the directors of the CIA and NSA.
As I reflected on Comey’s comments on Tuesday, it struck me that he may be more clever than we thought. His first 15+ minutes are loaded with 30 second sound bites Trump is already making into TV spots. Comey very politely called her everything but a child of God and now it’s ALL OUT THERE from the head of the FBI!
Then by NOT referring it, he has all but the most dedicated Clinton loyalists and brain-dead Democrats (but I again repeat myself) so FURIOUS at the failure to follow through that I believe the election may be an anticlimax — unless Trump steps on his ______________
(insert the name of your favorite body part here) or they STEAL another one.
So, if he DID get “The Word” from obozo to keep Clinton in the race (and my guess is that he did), his presentation was constructed to do as much damage to her while following obama’s order to NOT refer for prosecution, leaving him out of the doghouse. Perhaps some sort of spiteful twofer? We may never know!
I’m not so sure that people are correctly reading what happened yesterday.
First, he spent most of the speech confirming that the FBI believes that she lied her (very fat) ass off throughout this entire episode. Second, he indicated that she DID break the law.
What deciding not to recommend an indictment did is:
1) It made sure that she’d be the Dem nominee;
2) It made sure that she won’t be going to jail (not yet);
3) It brought this entire series of sordid episodes into the public eye - most people are asleep and didn’t even know that she was being investigated.
4) It gave Trump lots of material for commercials.
Her being the Dem nominee is, of course, important to her. However, she is a terrible candidate. Having her be the nominee, doubling down on Obama policies, with this cloud of ethics and competence hanging over her...that doesn’t bode well for ANY candidate, let alone one running as THE establishment candidate in an anti-establishment year.
Remember, this is DC and this is politics - take NOTHING at face value.
Comey is no doubt a good man in private life but he clearly lacks moral courage and high level political smarts. I surmise that Comey was told, in effect, that for the FBI to recommend the indictment of the presumptive Presidential nominee of a major party would bring the FBI into severe discredit with a large slice of the US electorate. This would lead to his ouster and the agency’s restructuring in the next Congress, which would likely be run by the Democrats due to an anger driven spike in turnout.

That he went to Chicago law. That all his life he’s been another grafter in Fed world. Prosecutor here, HSBC there, legal advisor for this agency or that commission, and absolutely ZERO law enforcement experience.
He is in his mid 50s and wants his snout in the government trough a few more decades. Its simple.
Did anyone, anywhere, EVER, believe you would see Hillary arrested?
That kind of hope and faith in the face of so many defeats. There is something almost fine about it.
Twists and turns at every corner. America has become a house of cards.
The weakest link? The petro-dollar.
