There is a petition at the above link asking Obama to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Comey. Let's see how he likes the shoe on the other foot!

If anyone would like to share this out to places like Facebook, please do. I'm having issues with Facebook and it won't let me post the link.

10. How would a special prosecutor see inside Comey's brain to prove bad motivation?

No prosecutor can prove Comey' s stated reasons are not true. So he can not be found guilty. So no appointment of a prosecutor would be proper.

[Stonepounder]

25. They can investigate whether he 'interfered in an election'

No prosecutor can 'see inside a brain' so it is not about 'motivation'. If you rob a bank to feed your starving kids, or rob it because you need money for drugs it is still illegal.

32. I don't think it is against the law to influence an election

Comedy violated department policy but that is not illegal.

[Stonepounder]

33. It absolutely IS against the law for government employees to attempt to influence an election.

The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials of that branch, from engaging in some forms of political activity.

[Cicada]

36. Ok, I did not know exactly what the Hatch Act prohibits. Thanks for teaching me.

11. Done

[TryLogic]

13. Yes. And how about just asking him to fire Comey??

[Matthew Rose]

15. Yes an investigation needs to happen. However,...

a response won't be given for at least a month. Considering the pressing nature of getting this resolved immediately, I don't see how it can help, unless you can get press on this matter today and have already accumulated over 100,000 signatures.

[Stonepounder]

26. No, it won't matter to this election.

But, it will serve as a warning to others that violating policy, thinking you know better, and breaking the law is going to be looked at very hard and may mean the end of your career in government.

16. Signed!

17. That will never happen:

[Stonepounder]

22. Thanks! For some reason, when I try and post the link Facebook

just wanders off into Never-Never land, with the 'wait' icon and never gets it posted.

[yallerdawg]

27. You have to have 150 signatures for it to show up on site.

I just watched it go from 149 to 138 on a refresh!

Anyway, "We the People" starts with the petition creator getting the first 150 signatures.

Then, the petition becomes active on site!

[Grey Lemercier]

24. Signed and forwarded to over 500 people

[Duppers]

34. Right below now says 271,576 signatures.

35. That's for a different petition.
