“No way Comey can ever recover from this, either.”

I will say this, Comey has everything on the line here. He cannot do what he has done here, 11 days (then) from the election. And now with a warrant. He’s hanging way out on a branch, he has to deliver something massive, unprecedented. He can’t have a nothing-burger. Everything about his career and his life is on the line now.

That is why I am certain he knows he has something here that is historical on a scale that is nation-saving.

When this is over Comey may resign and surrender himself to federal authorities. He is dirty, but in the end he may redeem himself to some degree by accepting his fate and admitting his guilt. He could end up looking like a flawed hero.

I think this is the most likely explanation of what is afoot here. And I do think reports of pressure from within the agency are credible. The Democrats are playing a dangerous game by pressing Comey to be more substantive. He may feel forced to expand on the nature of the new evidence, and chances are it is not something they will like to hear.

FWIW.

Comey is NOT A RENEGADE !!!

He is the typical DC Lawyer bureaucrat cake eater that keeps his head down and avoids any and all personal risks. That’s how he got to where he is now.

I think he is politically clueless.

He wrote the letter to Congress while under internal pressure and Congressional pressure to be transparent and above board in order to protect his career and the integrity of the FBI.

Once again, consider the very real possibility that Comey is politically clueless.

I say this because I personally know Lawyers and Government bureaucrats that conduct themselves exactly like this. They are single-minded and obsessive creatures of routines and structure. Comey fits this profile.

Personally, I don’t think Comey has anything concrete on Hillary. He may find something and has a good reason to look, but I don’t think he has it now.

BTW, these personality types can be easily influenced by a single person that will have them rejecting virtually all other information presented by those “outside” of their “trusted” circle. And once their mind has been set on this path there is very little that will change their perspective.

Our entire Government has been built on these simple/single minded cake-eaters.

I very much agree and have discussed the same point. His credibility is already a shredded from July. If he disrupts a presidential election only to come up with nothing it may save him from Clinton's wrath but his name will be laughable mud forever.

The fact remains, despite the delusion of those who insist that this will not change anyone's vote, is that this is doing horrific damage to Clinton. She could drop 10-15 points easily as those who finally had enough walk away from supporting her, and those people do exist. This is it for him and he better knock it out of the park.
