ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR In fairness to Comey: (a) He was in a no-win spot. If he sat on the info till after the election, he'd be accused of aiding HRC's campaign. (b) It's not his fault folks took what he said and ran with it in directions that far outstripped the actual letter. I agree it's suspicious close to the election. But alas, dc is correct. It's a mess. Then so's this election. Ah, no. His fault indeed, and only his fault. The bureau told Justice Department officials that Comey intended to inform lawmakers of newly discovered emails. These officials told the FBI the department’s position “that we don’t comment on an ongoing investigation. And we don’t take steps that will be viewed as influencing an election,” said one Justice Department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the high-level conversations. “Director Comey understood our position. He heard it from Justice leadership,” the official said. “It was conveyed to the FBI, and Comey made an independent decision to alert the Hill. He is operating independently of the Justice Department. And he knows it.” SOURCE
