Her supporters want Comey to go and the rest don't matter.

Stating that no person who leads a federal law enforcement agency can attempt to sway an election.


That is it a crime against our democracy. We are not some third world where federal law enforcement agencies get to force their political will on others.

We cannot accept this type of meddling in our elections from ANYONE!

Hell it's bad enough the Russians are doing it. Our own FBI is doing it now?

Derived from internationally accepted standards, the World Justice Project’s definition of the rule of law is a system in which the following four universal principles are upheld:

1. The government and its officials and agents as well as individuals and private entities are accountable under the law.

2. The laws are clear, publicized, stable, and just; are applied evenly; and protect fundamental rights, including the security of persons and property and certain core human rights.

3. The process by which the laws are enacted, administered, and enforced is accessible, fair, and efficient.

4. Justice is delivered timely by competent, ethical, and independent representatives and neutrals who are of sufficient number, have adequate resources, and reflect the makeup of the communities they serve.

These four universal principles are further developed in the following nine factors of the WJP Rule of Law Index, which measures how the rule of law is experienced by ordinary people in 99 countries around the globe...

Without genuine Rule of Law democracy is impossible.

But not before.

Let's not gift wrap the GOP a talking point.

and as though there were something to hide.

It's highly suspicious, and why did Eric Trump's wife seem to know about this? Find the Trump mole in the FBI and then prosecute.

Nothing like a high-profile firing of an investigator to make you look guilty.

That's actually the WORST thing you could do. Feed the whole conspiracy wingnuts narrative. If there's nothing there, there's nothing there.

Don't feed the wingnuts....

... most likely he did not run this whole thing by Lynch

I hope President Clinton does too.

his only option will be resignation. At least IMHO.

He is resigning from his post to be able to spend more time with his family.

. . .before he leaves office. . .to save her the hassle.

Then you don't know Obama. He would never fire Comey

disrupted a process for no yet-stated good reason.

At this point, I'm not seeing Comey as a viable head of his department.

n/t

investigations, botched shit with media, botched collaboration with pootie poot, botched phantom chasing, botched balls scratching, botched pussy grabbing, botched about fucking everything they touch. Not vindictive, just good sense.

show that he is not above using his office to affect the political process, which is frightening. He has lost all credibility.

Such interference should be an automatic disqualification. I can't understand why he isn't completely laughed out of office, if nothing else. So if somehow someone finds emails that may also have been sent to Hillary Clinton on ANY third party's computer, that revives the investigation of the emails on her server? That is purely and simply nuts.

Comey is not only a boob, but a tool. He has no business whatsoever being in charge of the FBI. :yoiks

He cannot be that stupid to think that sabotaging his future boss will save his job.

This ultra partisan hack job will cost him his reputation and damage the FBI for years to come.

for his incompetence

Comey, for the second time, inserted himself into the election process.

He needs to go.

Obama will "ask for his resignation" after the election so that President Clinton will not have to deal with this incompetent partisan. Surely there are more suitable candidates available to head the FBI. The FBI should not have the stigma of partisan politics attached to it... not in a vibrant democracy.

I hope she sends his obstructionist dirty pool Republican ass down the river as one of her first official acts. It's time we clean house and quit aspiring to bipartisan love fests when it's obvious we're the only ones looking for a dance partner.

And if President Obama is really angry which he may be then November 9.

He has plenty of grounds for termination.

Violating department of justice policy about interfering in an election.

Discussing an ongoing investigation.

Insubordination.

Day after the election, book it.

fellow Republicans in the House and the Senate, but more specifically, the Senate since all indications are that Republicans would lose their majorities in that chamber.

This was party politics, nothing more. Nothing less.

Hillary would never have appointed him

he needs to go

Obama can force come to recuse himself from any further involvement in political cases. Subject him to the ethics and policy review panel across the board.

Can, should.

He's been going at her politically for almost two years. The only reason we have an email "issue" is because Comey pursued it with a vengeance. That he makes this radical move within a fortnight of the election indicates that he's a partisan legal hack.

Comey needs to quit and find an honest job for once.

Comey can make way more money in the private sector. He doesn't need this job, but his republican colleagues sure need theirs...

Mostly, by altering the narrative as Miss Utah was holding a press conference about Trump's sexual assault. Trump is in a death spiral and taking Congress with him. They are desperate and they needed a major distraction.

I hardly imagine he has given President Obama a whole lot of pleasure this week.

he wants to spend more time with his family.


This is bigger than the Clinton campaign -- this is about the integrity of the FBI. People inside the agency are pissed. Regular worker bees in the agency are pissed.

I'm hoping he'll find himself locked out of his office Monday morning.

Saved a Republican Congress. Hillary was going to fire him anyway. His statement this summer was inappropriate and out of line. He's a goner. Obama is going to fire him. He went against Loretta Lynch. This was not about his personal job, this was about his party. It's one of the scummiest things in political history, likely violated the Hatch Act, and he needs to be fired and investigated.

Hillary will win anyway, but he might have fired up the Republican base enough to show up and prevent the landslide that would turn over the House.

I am shocked by what's going at the FBI level, some say there was a coup, some say it new info. I do think that this entire thing from beginning to now has been mishandled. Am I missing something? If they they had anything why did they not indict her in July? Is this really new info? This whole thing is giving me a headache. I just want this election done and over with, we will worry about cleaning up afterwards.

Since he has tenure, by Senate vote, his departure would depend on the criteria set in the FBI director's conduct obligations. That is, it should say in his job description what actions could lead to dismissal "for cause."

If he has one iota of brain cell activity he will offer his resignation on January 20 and, if she is smart as I think, she will accept it. I am sure she already knows who she wants to replace him.
