I've read what some of you have written.
But, it's really hard for me to believe that Comey believes that his letter to Congress isn't going to incur the wrath of Hillary and possibly the Obama administration, or that he would risk that simply to dot the "i's" and cross the legal "t's" without knowing that he holds a hand that will protect him from said wrath. I think this is the most likely scenario.
Speculating, and nothing more, a less likely scenario is that he feels that based on his earlier statements about Clinton in relation to the email investigation, his career is already over if Clinton wins and this is a Hail Mary to try and bring Trump into office and thereby save his career.
But again . . . merely speculation on my part, proving nothing more than I'm more than a bit jaded.
Or, third option ... he really does believe in justice being served and is willing to incur the wrath of whomever to see that done.
Whether justice has anything to do with Clinton directly remains to be seen. However, if it's Huma (as I suspect) that's not a lot better.
I hope it's worth the precedent this will set for future generations.
The precedent like the current one where elected officials are above the law? Is that the one you are hoping to correct?
No elected official is any more "above the law" than they've ever been. CIinton wasn't "elected" SOS, but for the sake of technicality.

Elected/appointed if you will, and it doesn't make it any more right.

Not necessarily unrelated...I wasn't aware that the gryphon and an ostrich had so much in common. *chuckle*. Never mind. Carry on.

No, it wouldn't make it "right" ... but it wouldn't be the first time, either.

Stating it isn't the first time is Just a deflection tactic.

If you are on this site you cannot have remained ignorant of the fact that the world we live in is NOTHING like we are told it is. There are no honest politicans, or wannabe politicians, there is no honor, and there is no "Good Guys and Bad Guys" ... they are all the knowing or unknowing servants of the true Powers.

Maybe Weiner was one of the Whistleblowers that leaked the emails to Wikileaks. He had access to all their email addresses through Huma. Just speculating....

Why is that so hard to understand?
I've been told twice in this thread, I'm in denial. I haven't denied anything.
Having a viewpoint of the direction I want to go, is not denial of everything else.

SO can the BS over Clinton. You've swallowed the Two Party Fairy Story hook, line and sinker. To you, if something happened that actually "brought Clinton down" you'd see it as some kind of "win" for truth, justice and the American Way ... but the REALITY is that would just be another act in the Show.
Now, kindly direct your attention elsewhere.
