WTF???? Marc Rich Pardon?????????

[Stinky The Clown]

Comey needs to be fired. He is either acting in a partisan fashion or he has no control of his agency.

[cilla4progress]

1. Must be the Trumpsters in the agency

So, I'll take one from column B.

Pathetic old news.

[madaboutharry]

2. Trump supporting rogue agents.

The FBI is out of control.

[cilla4progress]

3. Along with the

Rest of the country.

Or maybe hopefully not.

[misterhighwasted]

4. He has had a vendetta against the Clintons simmering for some time

Hillary needs to replace Comey asap now that he has forever damaged the public trust.

[Gman]

6. He was Ien Starr's lead investigator for Whitewater

He failed then. He had a vendetta.

[awoke_in_2003]

8. And, yet

was appointed in 2013 by PBO. Kabuki theater.

[Gman]

9. "You knew I was a snake when you helped me"

[awoke_in_2003]

12. And truthfully, he may have been the only one

PBO could have gotten approved. The senate is so fucked up.

[Skittles]

13. huge blunder

disgusting

[Gman]

15. Hindsight is 20/20

[Skittles]

16. you don't need HINDSIGHT to know not to trust REPUBLICANS

WHITEWATER was a HUGE HINT

[awoke_in_2003]

17. Sadly, PBO

probably couldn't have gotten any better through the sucky ass senate.

[Skittles]

18. it's his job to try

[awoke_in_2003]

21. True

If this stuff happens under HRC, I hope she appoints who she wants, and constantly points out how republicans aren't doing their jobs. The whole SC appointee thing chaps my ass. PBO and senate dems should be bringing it up every time a camera is in their face. I think they are under the illusion that, once the election is over, things will change. Of course, they won't. If we get the senate, the majority leader better do more than offer tough talk on the fillinuster rule. Harry Reid is all talk, no action. Of course, the cynic in me thinks they want it this way so they have an excuse to why they can't do anything because of the mean old republicans.

[Upin]

11. If that was true, why didn't he recommend indictment earlier this summer?

Just that alone, without a trial or convictions, could have seriously damaged the Clinton campaign.

[TxVietVet]

5. "Left behind"

Comey is one of those true believer wingnuts left behind to try to destroy a Democratic Party cadidate or President.

[misterhighwasted]

7. What is Chaffetz going to do when Prez Hillary replaces Comey?

His pal on the inside will be gone & replaced with a Clinton friendly Chief.
Chaffetz is about to lose his power.

[dalton99]

10. Comey is a partisan saboteur with an agenda.

Plain and simple.

[Skittles]

14. still, it's like they are admitting that's all they've got

and they're reaching back 15 years, regarding a man who died three years ago

it's pathetic

[ChairmanAgnostic]

19. Mere coincidence.

Really. Honestly. Trust me.

Would I lie to you?

Surely you don't believe those conspiracy theorists who question the timing?

Boy, some people.

20. A well-timed FOIA request.

In a statement late Tuesday evening, the FBI said the files were part of a routine release of information that had been requested multiple times under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA):

"The FBI's Records Management Division receives thousands of FOIA requests annually which are processed on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis. By law, FOIA materials that have been requested three or more times are posted electronically to the FBI's public reading room shortly after they are processed. Per the standard procedure for FOIA, these materials became available for release and were posted automatically and electronically to the FBI's public reading room in accordance with the law and established procedures."

[demgurl]

22. And what about the fact that this information

Was tweeted from an account that had. It had not been used in about a year?

As per CNN: "The release was posted on Twitter by @FBIRecordsVault, an account that posts material from FOIA requests on subjects of public interest.
Prior to Sunday, the account hadn't tweeted since October 2015. A law enforcement official told CNN that the Twitter account is an automatic feed and the tweets are not done manually. The official said the feed was down for a year until Sunday, when it was fixed and then began tweeting automatically."

23. The information is out there now. Complaining about how it got there is worse than pointless.

It's best to just have a candid discussion of the facts. Anything else would lend to the appearance of trying to hide something.

It's better to be in command of the facts and argue from that perspective.
