White House: Comey not trying to sway election
thehill.com ^ | 11/7/16 | Jordan Fabian

The White House on Monday stressed its belief that James Comey is not trying to influence the outcome of the presidential election after the FBI director informed Congress this weekend he won’t change his recommendation to not charge Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of State.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the tumultuous events of the past 10 days haven't changed President Obama’s confidence in Comey's "ability to lead the FBI," saying he is “a man of integrity and a man of principle."

ADVERTISEMENT “The president is entirely confident that Director Comey is not using his authority to advantage a particular political candidate or a particular political party,” Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Comey is only doing and saying what he is told to do and say.

Last week he was throwing the election, this week he is not. I’m getting whiplash following the Democrats.

Whatever Comey is doing, the only thing he’s really succeeded in doing is badly tarnishing his image and more importantly, the image of the FBI as a non-partisan law enforcement agency.

Wonder what the FBI as a whole is thinking.

Pretty noticeable that Lynch has disappeared from the equation.

Guliani will straighten this all out.

exactly
650,000 emails all looked at in just over a week, no frigging way. Yet the reports on the media state most emails were duplicates, well how about the ones which are not?
Look we all know for a fact she lied about a server
lied about her emails
lied about Benghazi,
foundation.
Lied about sending classified info
then deletes them when ordered to hand them over.

Tampering with evidence, perjury, destruction of evidence. hell I can go on and on with what she has done, but the media would rather cover a handful of women who all come out on the same day, who all say they were molested, etc,and now have all disappeared into their holes.
I hope Trump sues everyone one of them and All red being the first.

No, Comey is doing what he was told to do, and doing what he needs to do to survive.

BO, Lynchmob, and Comey’s #2, McCabe, are trying to sway the election, using the FBI. Comey’s just following orders.

Rush advanced a “conspiracy theory” that Comey was only re-opening the investigation to take the focus off Wikileaks and that he would close it again prior to the election.

I say B.S. to the whole thing...

They are all in bed together, or should I say ‘spiritual cooking’...

This is the most disgusting, corrupted government in the world, I don't think what Hitler did was as bad as what this gang of jihads are doing...and that is what they are, the only difference between the ISIS and the government in control now is the government are not actually beheading us...yet!!!

No, I expect that he can’t figure out how to keep from getting either disgraced or killed.

It is not Comey we are concerned about. It is Obama and Lynch that Earnest would not be able to say the same about.

Well, now it's confirmed: Comey is trying to sway the election.

Invert anything Obama and his cast of demons says, one-hundred-eighty degrees.
