It’s true. The Director of the FBI really had no choice. First some background. Director James Comey has a stack of resignations sitting on his desk. The remaining agents ignore him. No pleasantries in passing by. In essence, after all their work, they feel he betrayed them. It being ignoring the need for a grand jury to decide on the Hillary scandal case in summer. The silly argument “There was no proof of intent by Hillary.” How could having a private email serving in her home bathroom, never done before by any Sec. of State, not show intent. Destroying thousands email, 30,000+, AFTER a soepena had been issued for them…lying about having only one server…lying about having no classified or sending and receiving…lying about her lawyers reviewing all private emails before ordering them “bleached” totally destroyed. Bill Clinton meeting with the head of the Justice Dept. a week before his decision. In a plane to be hidden was the plan. It will be a bore to list more. Even Comey’s wife was outraged by his “get out of jail free card” issued for Hillary. Plus there is one more lasting item that infuriated FBI agents. Comey was deliberately releasing emails damaging to Hillary on the proverbial late Friday document dump. This is normally done by political Parties to have the least exposure. To be buried over the weekend. And Comey ordered it twice. Plus, the man Comey put in charge of the investigation was found to have his wife paid $600,000 + for her ill fated Virginia State House run for office by the Clinton’s closest ally the Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe. Money likely from the Clinton’s with plenty of buffers in between to disguise the source.
The reason Comey had to continue the case against Hillary Clinton was he was facing a mutiny in his FBI. Present agents were going to go public. To the press and out in the open. This from resigning agents and remaining ones. They all knew at the very least the matter deserved a grand jury indictment. And normally a respected man, Comey knew he did wrong. He suffered terrible regrets and felt he brought shame upon himself, his agency and from many of the best legal minds.
When different agents, other than the bias man he put in charge of the Hillary email scandal, came to him with thousands of previously unseen emails they accidentally found reviewing the Federal case against disgraced ex Congressman Anthony Weiner, Comey knew he had no choice. Weiner, a sexual pervert using the internet to expose himself to under aged girls. Most significantly, Weiner was married at that time to Hillary’s best friend and confidant Huma Abedin. She had numerous email addresses and one shared with her now estranged ex husband. Comey also realized, justifiably so, if he had withheld this newly, likely incriminating evidence, until AFTER the election, he would face further shame, not just from Republican’s, but from American’s across the Country. Faced with this horrendous choice, he knew at this point he had to continue (it was never closed) the case against Hillary Clinton. Plus, if this further evidence for saw an obvious indictment of a newly elected President, the Country would be faced with scandal never seen before in United States history. He couldn’t risk that happening.
Does this shocking further expose’ of a woman, Comey knew in his heart was corrupt, mean Hillary will lose the election in just over a week? Not necessarily. Of the normal 120 million votes cast in a Presidential election 20 million have already voted. Complicating matters further, there are at least four States that permit a voter to change and recast their vote. Also, with the huge lines in most all States voting early, it appears likely more than 120 million will be cast votes.
Clinton supporters and Hillary, outraged naturally, are saying Comey must release his findings now or certainly before the election. Legally, an on going criminal investigation cannot release information until a conclusion is reached. If there are the thousands of emails to be reviewed along with court procedures and such, it appears impossible at this time to release any information. Facing the greatest pressure any person could possibly receive, it appears likely Comey will make some kind of further statement. If he is smart, he will do it in written form. Most all knowledgeable TV pundits are saying the FBI Director must now have something truly substantial or he would not have made such a monumental decision shortly before a Presidential election.
Can and will Hillary still win? Yes. She and her inner circle of advisors are claiming this episode is already “baked in” to the voting public. Meaning this is a mere extension of what everyone already knows. Foul play proclaimed everywhere by her supporters. None yelled the same when Comey previously did her the greatest favor this past summer. Democrat’s…the no nothings and semi no nothings won’t change because of this Friday exposure. They simply don’t care…don’t know any better…or will do anything, right or wrong, to retain power. Plus, Democrat’s mobilize Democrat voters overwhelmingly better than Republican’s. They are better organized in their ground game. Also, Trump is less nationally organized than a more traditional Republican candidate.
However, Trump supporters will vote even if the Country is being bombed by terrorists. Loyal to the end. And, the wavering voters…undecided voters (how can anyone be undecided at this point) and millions who mildly favored Hillary will be swayed. However, the Independent voters are not a high percentage. One final note that is significant. Many who slightly favored Hillary, largely Democrat’s, simply will decide not to vote wanting neither of them to be President. And that, my faithful readers, could very well make it extremely close if not an out right win for Donald Trump as the next President of the United States. Perhaps sacrilegious, some are calling yesterdays events as “Divine Intervention” for the United States of America.
