I disagree with her, as honest and forthright as she is. I think that she is letting her experience in NY running for election has biased her thoughts on it. Regardless, that’s neither here nor there.

Her ‘beef’ about it being unfair to Hillary (and thus, her by extension) is because of “long-standing ‘policy’.”

The last time I looked ‘policy’ is not LAW - that’s for Congress and the Senate to decide along with a President (if he can’t be overridden.)

Democrats are infamous for ‘violating policy.’ The Senate most notorious in the legislative branch, and Obama in the Executive branch (IRS, EPA you name it).

It is nor was illegal for Comey to do this. He violated department policy and that’s up to him to handle (discipline or firing, resigning or whatever).

My belief, as unadvisable as it is/was his most recent faux pas is no different than his famous summer pardon/coverup issued to Hillary. And we must also remember that he had a duty to report to the Congress results from his investigation. If this gave him cover in the summer, it gives him cover now - in other words, a policy not applied fairly is not a policy; it is just a political tool.

That’s correct. And didn’t Comey violate policy when he said that Hillary should not be prosecuted. Wasn’t he supposed to only report to the AG the results of investigation?

Lynch surrendered her authority of the decision to not prosecute, putting the onus on Comey. But in the process she magnified the power of the FBI Director. So now Comey plays the Queen of Spades.
