FBI director under pressure to explain Clinton bombshell

Six weeks since Hillary Clinton’s surprise loss in the presidential election, FBI Director James Comey is under pressure to justify the bombshell announcement that rocked the final days of the campaign.

Democrats, still smarting from the Nov. 8 loss, have lashed out at Comey as the architect of the Democratic nominee's defeat.

“James Comey cost her the election," former president Bill Clinton has said.

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has accused the director of being a “Republican operative” who helped President-elect Donald Trump win the White House.

I still cannot figure why he did this? Did obama tell him to do it? Did he do it on his own? He is part of them, the bank he worked for gave money to CF. Bank he worked for was not charged with crimes because of Lynch.

That’s easy. HRC committed multiple federal crimes. How’s that for an explanation?

Perhaps it is Clinton who should explain her copious criminality to US, you think?

Because at the time of the forst annoncement they had no idea about Huma’s Weiners’ PC having thousands of classified emails on it?

LOL. With a Republican president and Republican Congress, he’s under absolutely no “pressure” at all. Go pound sand, Dems. You have NO power for at least the next two years. As big of a dope as Comey is for other reasons, he doesn’t have to tell you squat!

His earlier remarks were mis-construed by the press to mean that the investigation had cleared her.
Since he had said then that the investigation was closing, he had to say that it had been re-opened.

The media is to blame for the effect of his remarks, not him.
And therefore the media has to blame him even more.

Yep, and new evidence out of NYC caused the investigation to reopen. In fact the investigation is still going on and it will be up to Sessions to go forward with it. Hillary is not out of the woods on this thing.

no bombshell, just investigation when some thing new came to light as Comey said he would do.

News media needs to clean out their ears and hear what was said originally.

The real reason HRC lost this election is Obama.

The people of America are not happy about executive decisions, bypassing Congress, paying off Congressional people to buy votes for Obamacare (with only one party creating the monster).

They are not happy with a President who belittles and criticizes America on foreign soils where sons and friends gave their lives for complete foreign strangers.

They are not happy with a selfish, arrogant, smart alec man who denigrates half the country. They are not happy with a President of the Democrat Party only.

None of these attributes are American; that is why the majority of true American citizens voted for PE Trump.
