Comey needs to be fired. He is either acting in a partisan fashion or he has no control of his agency.

(34,582 posts)If this stuff happens under HRC, I hope she appoints who she wants, and constantly points out how republicans aren't doing their jobs. The whole SC appointee thing chaps my ass. PBO and senate dems should be bringing it up every time a camera is in their face. I think they are under the illusion that, once the election is over, things will change. Of course, they won't. If we get the senate, the majority leader better do more than offer tough talk on the fillinuster rule. Harry Reid is all talk, no action. Of course, the cynic in me thinks they want it this way so they have an excuse to why they can't do anything because of the mean old republicans.

By law, FOIA materials that have been requested three or more times are posted electronically to the FBI's public reading room shortly after they are processed. Per the standard procedure for FOIA, these materials became available for release and were posted automatically and electronically to the FBI's public reading room in accordance with the law and established procedures."

(3,214 posts)Was tweeted from an account that had. It had not been used in about a year?
As per CNN: "The release was posted on Twitter by @FBIRecordsVault, an account that posts material from FOIA requests on subjects of public interest.
Prior to Sunday, the account hadn't tweeted since October 2015. A law enforcement official told CNN that the Twitter account is an automatic feed and the tweets are not done manually. The official said the feed was down for a year until Sunday, when it was fixed and then began tweeting automatically."

(19,497 posts)It's best to just have a candid discussion of the facts. Anything else would lend to the appearance of trying to hide something.
It's better to be in command of the facts and argue from that perspective.
