I request President Obama to clean FBI before he leaves.... dismantling is difficult but strict actions for people who have gone beyond authority and publicly telling infront of public will stop this.

i wanted to give comey the benefit of the doubt, thought maybe he put himself in a hole by saying he would update congress as soon as he found out new information, but now thanks to all the leaks from "anonymous" fbi sources on monday, and these absurd tweets on tuesday it's clear that something more is at play and there is an internal struggle. comey has lost all control.

no way it was just a coincidence that the account had been inactive for that long and then "randomly" posted those two items.

comey has lost control and the respect of those under him. this is a serious problem for the nation, it really feels as though the trump camp, fbi and russia are working together for a coup to steal the election from the dems. i hope there are enough sane people to recognize what is going on and vote against it and that their votes aren't hacked away. this is the closest we've come in my lifetime to seeing another 1930's germany.

Add the corporate media as well.

I feel like we're being set up to accept it when they steal the election.

that he had packed a large number of people into civil service jobs where they would be hard to find and remove. I wonder if we are seeing them now in the FBI? The damage that rogue agents can do is mind-boggling.

Now who has the balls to enforce the law, and arrest them?

Hummmmm?

I suppose she feels compromised after the controversy surrounding her tarmac conversation with Bill Clinton. She needs to get over it and get her house in order.

WTF was Bill Clinton thinking anyway? He really is Hillary's biggest liability.

and that tarmac meeting was such an obvious DON'T!!!!! Then the anti-Obamacare rant a few weeks back. I feel for her.

The information the FBI released is accurate. The motive for releasing it is clearly partisan. But coming down hard now would give Trump the advantage of saying, "See? She's trying to cover up for Clinton!"

We can absorb this abuse of ethics from the FBI. It will not affect the outcome of the election.

I thought the culture had changed, but it looks like they've reverted back to the Hoover days with their innuendo and smear campaigns.
Disgusting.
