Paul Krugman is losing it. Claiming this is politically motivated by Comey to influence the election.
But what about all those bullshit claims by those women against Trump? Was that not trying to destroy Trump for the election?
O’Reilly was hammering Comey big-time on the Factor this week based on what he saw in the WikiLeaks. There has probably been enormous pressure on Comey from the GOP Congress as well as the conservative media.
This might be seen as a lesser of two evils. Trump either goes on for 2 weeks about collusion and corruption in government that got Hillary off, or he can gloat that the investigation is reopened. The “investigation” can then be shut down again after the election. Certainly this lifts all the pressure off Comey, so if he’s just trying to protect himself and not Hillary, this is obviously the right move.
