USA Presidential election 2016
I think this is a bit harsh on the man, though I understand very well where SB is coming from.
Fevered speculation aside, the one thing I am virtually certain of is that Comey believed that it was a foregone conclusion that Clinton would win, but that the would still have a GOP Congress to deal with (including foaming at the mouth idiots like Chaffets "investigating" AND controlling the Bureau's funding. No other explanation of why he did what he did with the "emailz" but stayed schtum about the investigation into Russian connections to the Trump campaign makes any sense.
But then Comey also just basically perjured himself in front of Congress about the Clinton investigation, was clearly utterly corrupt in the Clinton investigation - or at best had no idea what he was doing. And he used his position to undermine Clinton during the election. And he was also patently unequal in the fact that he disclosed (false) elements of the Clinton investigation while disclosing nothing of the Trump one. On these grounds Comey had to go.
