does breathing ring a bell???
Bureaucrats, like judges, are hesitant about getting involved in the political process (especially when it hurts the Democrats).
They're afraid of provoking some kind of massive reaction or backlash if they rule one party's candidate out of the race or strike down a recently enacted piece of major legislation.
So they punt and let somebody else have the responsibility of deciding.
Not Obama.
The Clinton Crime Family.
The future of his children and grandchildren. And his mother.
Comey may own barbells...
Among other things Comey said in his runup to the conference was this:
“They (POTUS and AG) do not know what I am about to say.”
And yet Obama was out campaigning the same day with Hillary. The president knew, all right. That guy would never take the chance of flattering the heck out of Hillary, which he did, and letting her use the presidential seal, which he did, if he didn’t know the outcome.
Occam’s Razor. The simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.
Comey took an extraordinary path to reveal Hillary’s lies, knowing that AG Lynch and POTUS would not only not indict, but would also squelch the details of the lies.
Comey was telling a lawyerly truth: They did know he would not recommend a criminal disposition. They didn’t know his exact words. He screwed em.
And, in return, his days will be numbered as FBI chief.
Comey made a VERY smart move when he made his announcement:
1. This was his one and only legitimate opportunity to speak about this issue on his own, and he got in front of Lynch, whom he knew would simply “no comment” the media and sit on the investigation and any recommendations made in private if Comey had simply made a simple announcement that the FBI had turned their investigation over to Lynch and now the ball was in her court.
2. He was able to totally trash Hillary, officially contradicting her many lies she made about her email. Essentially, in a rational world, Comey’s statement should effectively end Hillary’s chance of winning the Presidency.
3. He inoculated himself from being fired.
4. He knew he would soon be “forced” to give additional information in a Congressional hearing, free from influence by Lynch or Obama.
5. And here’s the kicker: if an indictment had been recommended (which Comey and everyone else knows would go nowhere anyway), then NO information at all about the investigation could be released by anyone at the FBI or DoJ. None.

Someone should post this little tidbit in it’s own thread from the FBI website. It is from the FAQ section:
>>Does the FBI work through U. S. Attorneys?
Yes. Although the FBI is responsible for investigating possible violations of federal law, the FBI does not give an opinion or decide if an individual will be prosecuted. The federal prosecutors employed by the Department of Justice or the U.S. Attorneys offices are responsible for making this decision and for conducting the prosecution of the case.<< https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/faqs
Comey wasn’t going to take out the Democrat presidential candidate over a server. It wasn’t going to happen.
That isn’t the fix. The fix is making sure FBI investigates the holy heck out of the server while ignoring the several hundred millions in bribe money sitting in Clinton bank accounts.
During the Clinton years we learned, we had a PHD course, in using investigations to cover up a scandal. You can spend millions investigating something, you can have hundreds of agents out investigating, but you just set the parameters so that whatever they find doesn’t cross any boundaries you don’t want crossed.
Nothing
Comey or bukaki, same thing.
He needn’t have anything. They’re both fecking democrats.
