Did Comey derail the HRC campaign on purpose?

[SCVDem]

Not for the reasons you may think.

What if the FBI and other alphabet agencies needed to determine how deep the rot actually went. The only way was to let the rats run!

Pure conjecture on my part, but look at how many highly placed people are doing time or soon will. Look at all the extortion, treason, money laundering and so many other crimes which went on under our notice.

HRC wins and the moles dig deeper.

Was she sacrificed?

[Salviati]

1. I believe he thought she would win..

and he wanted to hamstring her administration, but he underestimated the stupidity of the american people.

[exboyfil]

2. Yes and keep the Senate in R hands

He is no hero.

[OliverQ]

3. Your theory doesn't make much sense since the FBI, intelligence community, etc.

are not able to hold the rats accountable. Letting them run free isn't a good plan when you can't stop them from destroying the country.

[triron]

8. Exactly.

[Karadeniz]

4. Comey had to do something to placate the NY FBI office which Rudy Giuliani had convinced

That Hillary was a criminal...in the IG report, a NY FBI agent is quoted as saying he was glad Trump won because he thought Hillary was a criminal. So she was sacrificed so that the FBI could be kept quiet. Bad decision by Comey. He should have fired the troublemakers and announced Giuliani's...and the Trump campaigns..interference.

5. HRC was sacrificed, but not for that purpose. Just to keep the FBI from being smeared.

Pro-Trump FBIers were leaking about Weiner's laptop and Clinton's emails. Comey thought it would look like the FBI was covering for her if he said nothing.

So he violated the FBI's general-case policy of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and thereby gave us a fascist traitor as POTUS, two generations of a federal judiciary crammed with Federalist-society pukes, the beginning of the destruction of US defense alliances, and unrecoverable lost time to slow an impending climate disaster which will cost literally billions of lives in the long run... to protect his precious FBI's feelings.

The FBI was so fragile, in his estimation, that it could not handle a couple of months of idiots on FOXNews and RW talk radio smearing it.

Well good fucking job! Good thing you prevented the FBI from having it's reputation smeared, Comey. We haven't seen hide nor hair of THAT since Trump got elected!

11. Excellent analysis

14. Agreed. Well put.

[uponit7771]

15. +1

[honest.abe]

19. Precisely.

Well stated.

[aikoaiko]

6. No, I doubt it. I think Comey thought HRC was going to win and tried to play politics...

...by appeasing the Republicans.

[world wide wally]

7. One thing is for certain.

Comey KNEW his announcement would effect the poll numbers.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. And it sure as hell did.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Yes he knew and yes it did.

Any of his contrition now is worthless.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Bet he is

one lone some person..

[sprinkleeninow]

18. He wrote his own ticket. He has not my forgiveness and never will receive it.

What he chose to do was earth shattering. Some have said it was bad but may not have been as damaging as all else considered. Well, I say it put the final kabash on her chance for victory. The sudden downward numbers didn't lie.
