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.

One example Reid posited of the “selective approach”: Comey’s methods in investigating Donald Trump and his campaign’s possible ties to the Russian government. ------------------Could this be true?

And Reid knows for a fact that Romney didn’t pay his taxes.

[originalbuckeye]

And Harry Reid ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH, RIGHT? Just ask Mitt Romney.........

[Sasparilla]

Another dog on the car roof moment from the King of corruption, Harry Reid, only equalled by Billy Jeff,

[unixfox]

And how many ties to foreign governments does Hillary have? Huh, Dingy Harry?

[Paladin2]

Reid need to be careful to not get his other eye punched out.

[conservativepoet]

Sorry Harry, Hillary ain’t going to make it. She’s done as a candidate.

[cicero2k]

Reid has no credibility.

Obamacare fail.

He said Romney does not pay taxes. Fail.

[isn’t pulling any punches]

Like the treadmill that punched Harry Reid in the face, repeatedly?

[Mjreagan]

Took the words right out of....well, exactly

[ronnie raygun]

Ried needs to climb aboard the tread mill and try to complete his suicide act

[princess leah]

Man, I sure hope the people of NV turn out to vote for Donald J Trump as well as all down ballot republicans! I am so sick of this miserable weasel and all the crap he has done to America during tenure in the Senate!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Mr. Oneeye isn’t going to like that.

[mandaladon]

“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity,” he said. “I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public...and yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.” ---------------------The Rats are throwing everything they can at Trump!

[originalbuckeye]

What everyone seems to ignore (selective editing in their brains) is that Hillary was a GOVERNMENT SERVANT during the times these emails were written. She has hidden the Truth from the public.....those she was supposedly ‘serving’. They are OUR EMAILS and they show criminality. Period.
