so the nominee for president by one of the two major political parties isn't a political figure?

Sorry you are right, and I didn't even notice the other guy making fun of me.

It's been a pretty fowl morning for me so far.

^Trump is a political figure trying to break into politics. He's a reality TV star until he's the president.

Lmao @ the hack playing the victim card while defending the most corrupt, dirty DNC in history.

Democrats win with dependent demographics and the media, that's how such an unpopular candidate like Clinton has been propped up so far.

If you want to avoid Benghazi hearings... Then don't be incompetent, don't allow Americans to die, and don't lie about the cause for partisian politics before an election.

Also lol again at the party:
-in bed with the media
-deleting evidence under subpoena
- organizing and paying people to fight at Trump rallies

Talking about fighting "dirty".

This.

You have a career politician doing pay for play, blatantly breaking the law and covering it up... Yet hacks thought this would be a good candidate, why? What the fuck were you thinking? Media brainwashing FTW.

It's such a typical leftist complaint... Corruption gets exposed, blame Putin. FBI investigates your boy sexting a child and finds more dirty shit, and you blame the FBI. At what point do you just stop doing crooked shit? At what point do DNC hacks actually care about ethics over partisian shit flinging?

I never really understood why people care so much about Benghazi. Yeah, it's terrible that Americans died, but so what? Have these people forgotten how many people died in Afghanistan and Iraq? You know, the two freaking wars we launched without having our facts straight, thanks to GWB and friends?

Obama appointed him and was at one point considering him as Souter's replacement, of course he's going to say that.

And I don't know who's sadder, JCE the alt-right meme generator, or the butt hurt liberals who can't get over the fact that more people wanted Hillary to be President than Bernie.

Yes, and? Care to address the substance of a single post I've made and point out where I was wrong? I'll wait.

^For the record, I don't actually think he violated the Hatch act, but I do think he deserves to get fried for bowing to GOP pressure and prematurely releasing that letter. He's not an idiot. He knew how it would play in the media and used by the Trump campaign.

10/31/2016 3:20:13 PM

So what does Obama gain by breaking with the Hillary camp and defending Comey?

10/31/2016 3:22:02 PM

He gets to appear "bipartisan"

It's the exact same reason he appointed Comey to begin with.

Maybe they did but this seems more of an un-hinged apologist thing than an official position.

It's one anonymous source and frankly just doesn't make sense.

Why would Russia's meddling change impact the election anyway unless one candidate was collaborating with them? Not even the most ardent Trump haters like myself actually believe that.

its not what I would do either, but Obama has repeatedly shown he has some kind of deep need to appear bipartisan. I think he has some weird complex that makes him believe he can "heal" the nation. Instead the GOP just spits in his face every time, this time will be the same.

10/31/2016 3:52:08 PM

Or maybe he believes what he said???

10/31/2016 3:58:02 PM

does anyone here think he was trying to influence the election?

idk why else people would be re-interpreting what obama said

10/31/2016 4:31:12 PM

^^^oh I'm sure he does actually believe it, but that doesn't mean he's right about it.

^^what are the other likely explanations?

1. Comey just had no idea this would be a shit storm, had no idea of precedents related to investigations around election time, and wanted to keep oversight Cmte informed, even though he really had zero new evidence of any kind.

(Plausible, but still a stretch that Comey is that aloof, especially now that we are getting reports that the issue was discussed before he sent the letter)

2. Comey was under immense pressure from GOP congressmen, and they somehow forced his hand

(This is worse case scenario IMO, would be clear evidence of Comey's intent to influence)

3. Comey genuinely thought he was doing the right thing by informing voters due to these extraordinary circumstances

(Ok, but that would be a clear intent to influence the election, even if it was with the best intentions.)

If his goal was to influence the election why wouldn't he have just announced that he recommended pressing charges against Clinton originally? Even if the charges didn't stick or Lynch told him to GTFO it would have been incredibly damaging. Much moreso than this.

10/31/2016 4:45:49 PM

Come painted himself into a corner, he didn't have a good option. Because he made everything public it would have been bad to not say anything if it turned out there was anything there. I don't see any reason to believe he was trying to influence the election, especially considering that he already had a better option to do so.

We're the emails really in a folder called "life insurance" or was the guy at the store making it up.

Comey thought he was influencing it by calling her "extremely careless." Most republican candidates would have capitalized on that, that would have been enough. the bar is that fucking low at this point.

I am sympathetic that Comey was in a super tight spot, regardless of what he did. I don't like it, but that's basically a part of the game if you're a political appointee. You are going to be scrutinized, you are going to FOIAed to death. Your head will roll for meaningless shit.

10/31/2016 7:26:49 PM

he wasn't in a tight spot because he is a political appointment, he was in a tight spot because he started this path of making his report public and briefing congress and telling congress the investigation was over

11/1/2016 9:31:41 AM

Which was an initial move to appease Chaffetz and the GOP.

Lol, I bet he thought this would get some off his back but now you have Trump going full retard and saying he must find criminality or he is corrupt.

He can't win at this point and the leaks all around might mean he has irreparably lost control of his FBI.
