What Adams does not anticipate in his analysis is the possibility that Comey is getting the squeeze from two or more directions, and is responding based on who has the upper-hand.
It is the whole dang gone email DB from the secret sever. 650,000 emails is everybody’s stuff not just Huma. Too many, order of magnitude beyond one person. More like 5-10 people. Let that number sink in for a minute and how many emails HRC handed over and deleted and how many Podesta emails Wikileaks has and will release. Lot less than 650,000
Tortured logic on this one.
Straightforward explanation is that, having read the cards on Trump winning the race, Comey is trying to keep himself out of jail.
Comey’s “protect Clinton” gambit lost, and he’s salvaging what he can of his position.
Clinton/Epstien sex slave paradise island?
650k emails will have some stuff likely on both Clintons, Huma, 0bama, Sor0s, Chelsea, Weiner, others.
I wonder if some FBI “true patriot truth seekers” will leak a few prior to the election just to ensure she isn’t elected and to ensure Comey/FBI isn’t blamed for her loss.
I’ve always had a difficult time swallowing the “Comey is a traitor” opinion. It didn’t make any sense considering how he laid out in July all of the crimes that were committed.
Scott Adams does a really good job here explaining what I believe to be closest to the truth.
The tarmac meeting..........a deal was made that Hillary would withdraw from the race at an appropriate time, due to health issues, in return they would not prosecute, knowing her failing health would make her sympathetic.
Waiting, waiting, waiting........the Clinton’s reneged on the deal and THIS is payback.
He’s missing alternate explanations of behavior.
Comey still wants a good career and suppressing info can taint his reputation. especially if Trump wins. Better to put it out now than lose his job and be disgraced.
The simplest explanation is the Huma was using this laptop to send all emails forwarded to the laptop to the Muslim Brotherhood.
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.
Now, you can make the case that the FBI director doesn't take instructions from Congress, and you'd be right. But, if he sat on this until after the election and then told Congress, Comey knows that Republicans would have moved to impeach him -- protocol be damned.
Despite all of this, I think Comey will resign in January, no matter who wins the election. Neither Trump or Clinton will have any confidence in him. But, this way he gets to take the honorable way out, rather than being impeached.
COMEY IS A SCUMBAG
Let’s see what happens before saying anything
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.
