(1,580 posts)This summer Comey did not deal "pretty darn fair" with Clinton this summer. There were a lot of OP' s who were very critical when he injected his personal attack about her being "careless" . There were a lot of posts citing Justice Dept experts who were saying he didn't follow FBI procedures. Namely that if they weren't going to prosecute Clinton he shouldn't have "defamed" her. Clinton and the DU let that pass as a mild annoyance because we all were glad to have the e-mails over. Fast forward to today and there are more DOJ officials who say he is a cowboy who wants to prove his independence and who again substitutes his own for the DOJ procedures. At the very least he is wilfully insubordinate and reckless himself if he's not trying actually influence the election. Reckless that if he didn't know if the emails were pertinent then at least he should've waited till he did know.
