James Comey - As seen through the Persuasion Filter

If you’re following the news, you know FBI Director James Comey announced that the FBI found a bunch of emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.

Wait…hold on…the Gods of Humor demand that I pause here to insert a few Weiner jokes before I get to my point about Comey.

...

I’m hearing several interpretations for these two observations:

1. Comey seemed pro-Clinton when he dropped the initial email case.

2. Comey seems anti-Clinton this week because he announced a new round of investigations right before the election.

BINGO! We have an intellectual winnah, give that man a Cupie Doll!

Yours is the most straight forward, least convoluted answer:

Comey sees "the hand writing on the wall": Trump is going to win in a landslide which precludes the Clinton Crime Family Syndicate and the utterly corrupt DNC & Soros from rigging the election in Hildabeast's favor. Consequently POTUS Trump will appoint a Special Prosecutor and FBI Director Comey, Deputy Director McCabe along with AG Lynch, Huma, Hildabeast, Rapist Bill and a host of others are ALL going to prison. This coupled with the fact that there is total rebellion and outright mutiny taking place against Comey within the rank and file agents of the FBI, along with the NYPD's threat to Comey that they would clandestinely leak the damn in evidence that they found if he didn't reopen the investigation; Comey had no choice but to do so.

Comey is no hero taking one for the Republic, he is a dirty cop, a sleeze bag who got caught and he is just in CASE mode.

A Freeper posted a summary of a conversation he had with a staffer in Martha Roby's (R-AL, I think) office.

According to this staffer, Comey had no choice -- or he would have been impeached by Congress.

Some of you may remember Comey being grilled by Chaffetz (I think) about whether the discovery of new emails (i.e. the 33,000 deleted ones) would be grounds for reopening the investigation. Comey agreed.

But there's apparently an additional wrinkle that wasn't made public: The committee instructed Comey in writing that he was to notify them if more emails were found, and explain why or why not he was reopening the investigation.

The first half of your post # 16 is very important! The case was never closed.

I think Adams is pretty close to the mark. If the director was protecting Clinton, he wouldn’t have said all the things he said when he announced that they weren’t going to prosecute. I think his boss, Lynch, forced him to drop the investigation and he had too much integrity to just let it go.
