Don’t blame Comey
The Washington Post ^ | October 31, 2016 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 10/31/2016 4:02:01 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

All that said, a lot of Republicans are asking me if this means more Republicans and Republican leaders will vote for Trump. The answer is yes. This is just a bridge too far for many center-right American voters. Vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence’s message that Republican voters need to “come home” is resonating. The latest Clinton scandal has given the nudge to Republican-leaners and independents, who needed some proof that their instincts were correct and that nothing could be worse than Clinton. If Trump doesn’t blow it in the next eight days, a lot of new voters may coalesce around him, and that could make the difference on Nov. 8. As a friend of mine and a longtime pillar of the Tampa legal community (and someone who has voted for both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates) said to me after the news broke Friday: “I am voting for Trump primarily because I think Hillary is likely to cause more damage than he. Secondarily, I am voting for him because I don’t want to see her rewarded for years of corruption and self-dealing.”

This race just got a lot closer, and the uncertainty that has gripped campaign 2016 in the past 48 hours doesn’t lend itself to a quick conclusion.

Comey merely did his job and Clinton supporters don’t like it when their political interests aren’t the center of every decision.

I think the high-income suburbs, particularly college-educated, white-collar women, are falling into line. They know that they could never get away with this behavior with their own employers.

Hillary has demanded that Comey show what he has. So, he can do one of two things: he can invite Hillary to drop by the office and take a look herself, or he can release all 650,000 emails in one drop.

Whichever she prefers.

Watch out, this isn’t over yet.

DoJ and Obama are “cooperating” with Comey and the FBI...

...that means the FBI is about to drop a bomb on Trump.

Xanax for everyone.

We’ve 8 days left to make sure everyone votes and to donate a few bucks if we can. I dont know if there’s a deadline for that.

As we’ve seen MANY times, scandals dont seem to matter much this election, on both sides.

The “Russian ties” has been an ongoing meme for months, and it’s not credible to anyone but globalist moron propagandists. But I’ll wait. Personally, I think these jack-offs are trying to blow smoke up our butts.

I think you meant to say he should be hanged, you know, like with a noose.

Well, if he's been properly shot, "what difference does it make?"      :)

hanged and hung have two very different meanings. If he has been hanged, whether or not he is hung is irrelevant.

The Democrats are trying to blame Comey for this coming out so late in the election. They fault lies with Huma Abedin and possibly Hillary. Huma said she gave the FBI all copies of all state correspondence. This was done under oath.

She lied and this blew up because of her actions not Comey. If she had complied with her sworn statements this would have been over last summer.

If Huma goes down she will take Hillary with her. Her only hope is Hillary wins and gets a presidential pardon which would be political suicide for Hillary.
