President Obama is now criticizing FBI Director James Comey for injecting “innuendo” and “incomplete information” into the presidential race.

“I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations, we don’t operate on innuendo and we don’t operate on incomplete information and we don’t operate on leaks,” Obama told NowThisNews in an interview.

When this was investigated thoroughly last time, the conclusion of the FBI, the conclusion of the Justice Department, the conclusion of repeated congressional investigations was she had made some mistakes but that there wasn’t anything there that was prosecutable,” he added.

The comments are the first the president’s made since Comey sent a letter to lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Friday to inform them that new evidence had emerged in the Hillary Clinton email case.

“We don’t operate on leaks! We don’t believe any whistleblowers! We wait until we read it in the New York Times! If CNN doesn’t say it, it never happened!”

I thought Obama had said that Comey was nonpartisan and that he had confidence in him?

Comey must have developed a spine and is actually rejecting his threats and bribes.

He is in NC on a rally at the UNC and is telling the crowd that if Donald Trump wins, the very first day he is stopping Medicare and pellgrants. He is also telling them that Trump will take all the money from black colleges etc, etc, etc.. Obama is desperate......

“Obama slams FBI chief Comey for operating on ‘leaks’ and ‘innuendo’”

When means that the left is pissed off because the leaks warning them of incoming artillery in this and, probably, many more legal tarpits from the FBI has dried up.

It may well be that Comey and his fellow travelers in the FBI have literal guns to their heads now to ensure that they stop conspiring with the criminals they’re supposed to be investigating.

I bet they Obama dead to rights too. But I am not confident that most of what they have won’t be covered up.

With all the information that has surfaced about the Clintons, I don’t see how anyone could even consider voting for her...

..... Obama is desperate......

Wow! I figured he was kind on trying to play along so maybe they would forget about him. I know he doesn't give a rats ass about HRC, but since he is saying this type of scorched earth stuff, it means to me that they're coming for him too.

WOW! BEST. ELECTION. EVER! CD

injecting “innuendo” and “incomplete information”

Maybe Obama could do us all a favor and give us the COMPLETE INFORMATION.

Well, obviously he can't do that as the FBI would haul his corrupt ass to jail along with Lynch, Holder, Clinton, most of the Congress, and most of his administration.

Their only recourse is to win. That way they can pardon each other.

This is getting better by the second!

I should just take some vacation time because work is on the back burner... sigh.

I like the NYPOst— but if you watch the interview— he never really mentions Comey— Obama is just blabbing some non-sense..
