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.

You seriously have to ask that question?? Especially after the crap Reid pulled on the Senate floor in 2012 about Romney’s taxes.

Hope he pisses the FBI off enough to start an investigation on him.

Could this be true?

What kind of moronic question is that?

I’m thinking he’s just throwing out a rumor to see if it gets traction.

Apparently Harry Reid thinks people are stupid enough to think Trump’s under investigation by Comey ... since he’s not, Comey wouldn’t have anything on him.

Reid never addressed the accusations that he sleeps with underage boys.

Harry knows a lot. He knows because Tommy tells him things. Tommy is always telling him things especially when Harry doesn’t take his meds. Harry is the type of guy who would pimp his own mother. There is definite proof that the Russians are not the source of the leaks. If the Democrats are accusing them of this then that is enough proof for me that they are innocent.
