A little perspective from a former prosecutor.

I just had a nice discussion with a good friend who happens to be a former Fed prosecutor. He spoke yesterday with a few friends from the FBI.
He told me that everyone he talked to yesterday said that Comeys actions created a huge rebellion at the FBI.
He is no fan on Comey and said that we was almost fired from his previous job for similar actions.
He then added that this will have very little effect on the outcome of the election. My friend is not even a Hillary supporter but did say confidently that a landslide is still coming.

Thanks for sharing that, Lefthacker.

I agree with your friend that Hillary Clinton is going to enjoy herself on November 8th.

But if it energizes Republicans even a little bit, what is the effect on House, Senate and local races?

This is what Comey is up to: trying to keep Republicans in power.
