Comey's treachery

In releasing the letter about the non-emails just before the election is all the more appalling in light of recent revelations. He knew Trump was exposed to the Russians, being cultivated by them as an asset, yet he still sabotaged Clinton's electoral chances. What does that make Comey?

based on current info. I can't help but get the feeling that information is being released slowly because if they released it all at once no one, and I mean no one, would believe it.

Hillary was up in polls by double digits right before the Comey letter. Things were looking bad for Trump after gropergate broke.

This new info spells out Russian's disappointment with the Trump campaign and the failure of Wikileaks and anti-Clinton smearing disinformation to shift enough voters over to Trump.

Comey interfered strategically right at that time, while covering up the Trump investigation. Importantly, FBI source/s also caused NYTimes to quash it by reporting that there wasn't anything directly indicating a Trump Campaign/Russian collusion, causing all the breaking news stories about this to tamp down right before election.

McCain gave info to Comey in December.

So our intelligence didn't get a whiff of this until McCain passed it on?

This is so confusing to me.

But, yes, Comey shares much blame for the state we find ourselves in right now.

To an FBI office abroad. Then McCain got a hold of the report a few months later. I believe McCain turned it over to the FBI in Oct, not December. It was before the election.

CNN and Carl Bernstein are covering it. That 35 page report that's been posted is the former MI6 officer's report and also a source for CNN's reporting.
