Harry Reid accuses Comey of sitting on proof of Trump-Russia ties, possible Hatch Act violation
CBS ^ | 30 Oct 2016 | REENA FLORES

Posted on 10/30/2016 4:39:13 PM PDT by mandaladon

In his last few months in the Senate, Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, isn’t pulling any punches -- especially after the recent revelations by FBI Director James Comey that more emails were found that could be related to the Clinton email probe.

The pugilistic Reid, who plans to retire after finishing out this term in Congress, penned a blistering letter to Comey Sunday, accusing the FBI chief of holding back “explosive” information about Donald Trump’s close Russian ties while possibly violating the Hatch Act by reviving the Clinton email investigation.

“Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over another,” Reid wrote, adding that through Comey’s “partisan actions, you may have broken the law.”

The Nevada Democrat went on to insinuate Comey’s violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits “activity directed towards the success or failure” of a candidate by executive branch employees.

“[Y]our highly selective approach to publicizing information, along with your timing, was intended for the success or failure of a partisan candidate or political group,” Reid wrote.

This whole Russian angle is 100%, completely wrong. Any time you hear some idiot talk about a Russian connection, you know they are clueless. As if anyone needed further proof in the case of one Harry Reid. Or Howard Dean, to cite another shining example.

The RATs must be in a panic mode like this country has never seen
before for Reid to write this bogus letter.

Desperation never seen before.

Who but the most entrenched, unthinking, DemocommieBot can listen to this sort of screed and believe it? I mean, COME ON! Even for the deepest “believer” there has to come a point where they realize they’re being played.

Exactly what I was thinking. Reid thinks he can keep throwing this stuff out and get traction since it worked four years ago.
