10. I have faith in the FBI

But I do not have faith in Comey.

I enjoy the NFL, but I disagree with how Roger Goodell exercises his leadership.
I respect followers of all faiths and their beliefs, but I take issue with church leaders who protect child molesters.

You can can appreciate and respect the people of any institution but have serious disagreements with individuals within an organization. I do not question the integrity or motivation FBI agents. I do with Comey based on his recent actions. He has abused his power in exchange for street cred with the deplorables.

It is not like an FBI director has not ever over stepped bounds before (J Edgar Hoover).

Comey's boss, who happens to be the AG, asked him not to send letter to Congress, he refused her request. Unbelievable. #AMJoy

investigations.
Yet there he is, informing congress about emails that he admits he doesn't even have-he still has to obtain them, and doesn't know if they are of any significance.

are looking at new emails until something is found that relates to the investigation. That is the entire reason the FBI doesn't release vague letters about matters under "review." Comey did this deliberately and he should absolutely face penalties for it (firing or whatever else is appropriate). He is interfering in a presidential election w/out any evidence that any of the emails matter in any way.

Comey needs to be fired the week after the election, with the option of resigning
