then he should, must, step aside immediately. If this is wrong, that he has lost control and that his agents are in rebellion, then very shortly we should see a perp walk with agents in handcuffs. Due to the unique nature of the power with which FBI agents and support persons are imbued it is imperative that they be held to a standard that even police are not.
It's time for Comey to answer for his actions. He cannot remain silent after his highly improper act of lighting a rumor and innuendo campaign against one of the presidential candidates. If he can't provide an overwhelmingly rational and necessary reason for his actions then he must resign. At the very least his judgment as leader of the FBI is in question, at the worst he is either no longer in control of his agency or he is actively aiding the Republican Party and Donald Trump ascend to the presidency.
Either we are a banana republic in which third world police actions are to be the norm or we stand against this type of dangerous, seditious and even coup like activity.

Either/or.
Doesn't matter.
