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.
No, it wouldn't make it "right" ... but it wouldn't be the first time, either.
/shrug
Stating it isn't the first time is Just a deflection tactic.
No, really its not. 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.
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.
You do realize you are trying to persuade a Third Party voter, right?
However, you will not see me defending Hilary at all.

FBI Director James Comey told his bureau he broke with custom in alerting lawmakers that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server was being reopened because of its political sensitivity.
In an internal memo obtained by Fox News, the beleaguered director noted that the FBI typically would not communicate with the public when reopening a case, according to a Department of Justice source. But Comey said he had to in this case because Clinton is seeking the White House in an election on Nov. 8.
“Of course we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed,” Comey wrote. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record.
At the same time, however, given that we do not know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression,” Comey’s letter continued. “In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter, and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directy from me about it.”

This is far from a two party election. The RNC and Trump aren't two birds of a feather and they have both shown their disdain for each other.
If a candidate is at odds with their own party, they've got my attention.

Amen to this, Gryphon.
I'd actually be kicking myself for not giving equal scrutiny, if Trump wins. I honestly haven't given it any thought until today.

Those early/mail-in votes have been cast -- lots of them. I just have a feeling they are being tallied and the results are going to good use in determining how these two campaigns close-out this election season.
If Trump wins, I do not see it as a victory for any good cause. 'Their' second choice is no better than 'their' first choice. It's still 'their' choice.

I'm not defending Clinton.
I'm also not the subject.
Why don't you see to the dirt in your own eyes before you go after the dust in mine? Hmm? Just for a change of pace?
Because you think ...after all this time and everything that youv'e learned about how the world REALLY works, that Donald J. Trump is going to be the once and future true savior of the Republic?

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.
You're not actually listening to the sycophants are you?
You're not in denial of anything as far as I can tell, Annee. You know your own mind, which places you far ahead of the teeming masses.

Have to say, I respect this response from Hillary:
Hillary Clinton forcefully called Friday for the FBI to release "the full and complete facts" about its review of emails tied to the bureau's investigation of her private server.
"Voting is underway, so the American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately," Clinton said during a brief news conference in Des Moines, Iowa.
