Some early reactions to FBI Director Comey's new letter informing America that there wasn't anything to the "new" email revelations he so diligently reported in his last letter, an event which Republicans and the press obligingly blew into yet another pseudo-scandal and which has quite possibly swung some House or Senate elections. ........
Clinton went from having a 6-point lead pre-Comey to a 3-point lead post-Comey.

(1,678 posts)Toothpaste tubes are made of plastic. This works.
1 Remove the cap and squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube into a small container. Replace the cap.
2 With scissors cut off the bottom of the tube just above the sealed area.
3 Insert a blunt knife in the cut and spread the tube sides apart to form a void.
4 Scoop the toothpaste back into the tube using the knife and gently pushing it to the tube top.
5 With needle nose pliers pinch the tube bottom cut closed.
6 While holding the tube with the pliers just above the bottom, use a lighter to heat the cut end until it is almost liquid.
Danger! Do not touch the hot plastic or heat it to dripping. Danger!
7 While still hot, use the pliers to press the hot end closed and hold until cool.
If done carefully the toothpaste will be back in the tube and ready for use.
Danger. Not not breathe in the fumes. Well maybe just a little at the end.

is a man of any integrity, he'll resign. I know he felt pushed by his investigators to do it, but the fallout, and the lack of trust we have for the FBI going forward, should signal to him that he is no longer fit to run the agency.

(18 posts)Beware of democrats praising Comey's announcement. Damage was most definitely done with 40 million early votes. He has to go. Rudy, fbi partitsan operatives,sweizer, and all other bad actors still have to be dealt with and if we allow them to skate we are pathetic. Win or lose this has to happen. Hey ,good news is better than no news I agree, but it should have been no news all along-and they know it. Even if we win didn't we want to do it with a mandate? With some humiliation? Would we be happy with an electoral win and not a popular? Don't we want him to go away? And these are questions to ask if we win, what about if we don't? This has hurt and it was purposeful. I'm done

steventh
(2,143 posts)But who knows what and how much damage was done by Comey, FBI and Guliani to Hillary, down ballot candidates and democracy itself.
I'm glad to see Wolf Blitzer on CNN talking about this. Chuck Todd is on MSNBC talking about polls and campaign stops. Grrr!!
This is not over. There will be investigations. But for now GOTV is a priority. There'll be time for karma after the election.

(21,560 posts)Comey: We have more EMAILS (sinister voice). I know there ain't shit in them but i'll say we have them so everyone can come to their own conclusion that Hillary is a criminal
Dems: We want the emails. You are violating the Hatch Act!
Comey to lawyers: Uhhhhh, is this crazy shit they are saying, or could i actually be in trouble?
Lawyers: You dumbass! Of course you could be in trouble!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you really want to destroy your career and maybe go to prison to die in Trump's Hill?
Comey: Uh, nothing in the emails! As you were, America.
Comey to lawyers: Is that good enough to save my ass?
Lawyers: Better than nothing. Good luck. you're gonna need it.

CaptainTruth
(6,588 posts)Now, it seems like there's some housecleaning in order at the FBI. I sincerely hope our Dem representatives do it.
Full disclosure (don't hate me): Several years ago, after being a registered Dem my whole life (decades) I registered NPA (no party) when I moved to my new state. It pained me to do it, but I felt like Dems hadn't been standing up & fighting for what I believed in. They were letting Rethugs get away with too much crap. Letting Bush & Cheney (& the whole #PNAC cabal) get away with their war crimes? Really? With no challenge/objection at all? While Rethugs continued to do things like investigate Hillary 7-8-9 times for Benghazi?
In the past year+ I've re-registered as a Dem, & I was proud to do so. President Obama is awesome, he has my full support. And that Dem sit-in in Congress, lead by John Lewis ... that brought tears to my eyes & made me proud of the Dem party. That's called standing (or sitting) for what you believe in! That's a party I want to be part of!
(And notice how all the Rethug threats of "retaliation/punishment" against Dems for that sit-in have disappeared? There's a lesson to be learned there.)
I'm looking forward to Dems being more aggressive on this issue, don't just let it slide & "be nice." Rethugs are never nice. They play for blood & even though I don't like it (I wish our politics was far more civilized) that's reality & if we're going to win (or at least hold our own) we have to compete on the playing field as it exists, even it's not the one we'd like to compete on.

(70,187 posts)or what might have happened had Comey NOT come out 9 days ago with his decision to look the emails over (at that time he also failed to say Hillary was NOT under potential indictment-and the RW took care of that and blasted it 24/7).
At that time Hillary was sitting fairly comfortably--then she dipped in the polls-then she stated to climb somewhat. Then Comey came yesterday--with his nothing-berger.
That whole time--millions voted. Some Dems were more motivated, while it cast more doubt on Hillary for others (I know because I canvassed a few times last week).
It is a mess.

(204 posts)What a fucking piece of shit. Get rid of him and drain the swamp at the FBI.
LiberalLovinLug
(14,173 posts)Is that Comey COULD and probably WOULD have waited until just after the election and then pulled this "oh there's more emails that could be pertinent maybe sort-of". It would feed right into Trumps predictable narrative and maybe even encourage the House GOP, if they retain control, to start those impeachment hearings. It would at the very least cloud her first days in office. Now...they've cried wolf one too many times. And they've had to publicly once again confirm that there's nothing to see here to charge her. Making it much more difficult for, if not Trumpsters, the GOP at least to use it post election.
