That was the choice for FBI Director Comey. He could either do his job by the letter of the law – and personally determine who would be the next president – or he could take a bullet in the chest for the good of the American public.
He took the bullet.
Thanks to Comey, the American voting public will get to decide how much they care about Clinton’s e-mail situation. And that means whoever gets elected president will have enough credibility to govern effectively.
Comey might have saved the country. He sacrificed his reputation and his career to keep the nation’s government credible.
It was the right decision.
Comey is a hero.

Um, I believe his comments are dripping with irony, if not out and out sarcasm.
I’m here screaming BS! You are exactly right!

Interesting idea.
I do agree with one aspect. We will see just how much people in general care about this in the election.
Comey wanted the job. He knew full well that part of the ‘territory’ was taking responsibility and making hard decisions. But when it came time for him to stand tall he stooped instead and slinked away like a weasel.
Comey is just another self-serving Washington bureaucrat. Nothing more.
Most of the sheeple are sleepwalking through life and just don’t care. Its going to take a lot more than Hillary’s scandals to get their attention.
Ironically, he disabled comments for this blog entry.
The liberal press, knowing she would be exonerated, built up the myth of Comey's integrity in the months preceding his whitewash. He is as corrupt as anyone.
We saw “FBI”. In reality Comey is a lifelong hack lawyer DC and government type. Hadn’t spent one day as a cop.
Not a single arrest in his life.
Hack.
...But certainly a lot less.
No Comey, a career civil servant is protecting his job by doing what his boss wants done.
Remember that scene in one of the dirty Harry movies? Where he was interviewing the woman who the fix was in for, and he asked her to describe her last arrest....and she had never made one. That’s Comey.
And that's all we have. New replacements are told, bribed, threatened, or extorted to get their minds straight with the Washington Way.
Self serving is all there is. It's why they loathe the military so much. A sense of duty, honor, courage, and accountability just sticks in their craw.
Better men and women are everywhere in this country, but it's Washington's business to make sure they never get there.
“For example, I think laws regarding abortion are most credible when they are agreeable to the majority of women, no matter what the majority of men think. Imagine an abortion-related law that was acceptable to 90% of men but only 10% of women. It wouldn’t be credible. Nor should it be.”
This isn’t rational thinking.
Freegards
They will care so much that the dead will vote and the illegals will be counted twice!
He undermines his own argument. Like he said, 50% of the people believe this was a travesty of justice and are screaming mad about it - and the other 50% realize this was a travesty of justice but are keeping their heads down because they want the lying criminal to win the election. Everyone knows this was a travesty of justice, as the implication is that the law is not being applied equally to all citizens. She is getting special treatment, and people know this makes the government illegitimate and not credible.
Also, if she were indicted, she would still have the option to drop out of the race and allow an honest candidate to run in her place against Trump. Or she could stay in the race and people could vote for her anyway. Maybe she would win, even if under indictment, and at least people would go tot he polls knowing that the government were not illegitimate by giving her special privileges. Some people would not like that result, but at least they would know it is legitimate and credible. Instead we now all see that the government is not credible and not legitimate.
But then again, Hillary couldn't even pass the Washington DC bar exam. Pretty bad when Marion Barry the crack smoking John can pass it and the smartest woman in America can't score a 70%.
What were Hillary's LSAT scores?
