That was quick! A PAC called the Democratic Coalition Against Trump has filed a complaint with the Department of Justice against FBI Director Comey. The complaint accuses Comey of interfering in the election. Here’s the press release:
The Democratic Coalition Against Trump filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility on Friday against FBI Director James Comey for interfering in the Presidential election, following the FBI’s decision to open up an investigation into Secretary Clinton’s emails this close to Election Day. Federal employees are forbidden from participating in political activities under the Hatch Act.
“It is absolutely absurd that FBI Director Comey would support Donald Trump like this with only 11 days to go before the election,” said Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the Democratic Coalition Against Trump. “It is an obvious attack from a lifelong Republican who used to serve in the Bush White House, just to undermine her campaign. Comey needs to focus on stopping terrorists and protecting America, not investigating our soon to be President-Elect Hillary Clinton.”
For this to be a violation of the Hatch Act it would be necessary to prove that Comey was not performing his duties as FBI Director but was raising this to impact the election. Obviously this coalition doesn’t have any proof that’s the case but by making the accusation they help the Clinton campaign controversialize the announcement as a partisan act.
Coincidentally, this PR move dovetail with the official response from the Clinton campaign which opened with an accusation that Comey was bowing to political pressure from Republicans:
Upon completing this investigation more than three months ago, FBI Director Comey declared no reasonable prosecutor would move forward with a case like this and added that it was not even a close call. In the months since, Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been baselessly second-guessing the FBI and, in both public and private, browbeating the career officials there to revisit their conclusion in a desperate attempt to harm Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
But all of this seems like the panic of a campaign that was startled and didn’t know how to respond except to cry partisan. Since then, people seem to have calmed themselves a bit, especially as the left increasingly becomes convinced the FBI doesn’t have anything that can harm Clinton. So, for instance, here’s Trump critic Mark Cuban trying to stem the tide of panicking progressives:
Relax. That’s good advice for the folks at the Democratic Coalition Against Trump.
It’s a good bet that the information referred to Comey was uncovered by the NYPD who were investigating Wiener and were in possession of his electronic devices. If Comey didn’t take action, the NYPD would have.
The NYPD are no friends of Clintons.
This Comey thing is a feint to stave off people reacting violently to the blatent curruption.
It's run by a PAC called "Keep America Great" - headed by some goofball named Nathan Lerner.
Little 'ol Nathan bragged that his PAC was going to bring $20 million to Hillary's campaign by election day: New Anti-Trump Super PAC Hopes to Raise $20 Million.
Sadly, for Nathan, he has only been able to muster together a little over $119K.
You can search for their FEC filings from the FEC web site under 'Keep America Great' here: http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/candcmte_info.shtml
No disrespect to what you read, but seriously: F*CK Hot Air and in particular Allahpundit.
From the second this broke I absolutely thought that if Comey thought he had the only copy he would bury this. He doesn’t.
Maybe comey had a choice ...Serve Hillary on a platter or he would be outed..At this late date,Assange must have something really bad on Comey...
Cheaters are gonna cheat and don’t want to be callled out.
Comey really must release all of the new emails unredacted right now in order to be fair to Hillary. ;-)
Amen!
Guillani would have crucified Comey, Lynch, Obama and Clintoon if they tried bury what the NYPD had.
“It’s a good bet that the information referred to Comey was uncovered by the NYPD who were investigating Wiener and were in possession of his electronic devices. If Comey didn’t take action, the NYPD would have.
The NYPD are no friends of the “Clintons.”
Well they didn’t interfere. They just got new evidence and ran with it. To bad it happened just now. October surprises go both ways DNC.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Putin drafted the emails before planting them in Mr. Danger's Smart Phone.
hmmm I think I will give them the old Obama birther response:
they have no standing..ROFLMAO
If Justice has to be out on hold when someone is running for office, then a lot more criminals will be running for office.
I’m sorry, but I just had to check to see if this was satire ...
Past the pop corn
Where’s the complaint about that lying bitch Lynch and sexual predator Slick Willie Clintoon meeting on the tarmac in Phoenix to INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION? Hmmmmm?
“James Comey: most hapless FBI Director in history! And he has only himself to blame.”
If Loretta Lynch of the Justice Dept. or anyone from the Obama Admin tries to go after Comey, he will spill the beans on the Clintons in a nano second, and maybe on the Obama Admin too. They dare not touch him.
I’m starting Republican Collation Against the election of Clinton! I’ll get lawsuit against Dems against Trump ;-)
