I think it was one sided. Wikileaks and the FBI had no problems with the email scandal, but when the CIA said they found some dirt about Russia and Trump, everyone loses their minds and told the CIA to keep quiet about it until the voting was over.

This goes to show that you can do everything right, and still lose, that's how life is.

It's very unsurprising, as Obama has cracked down harder on whistleblowers than any president before him. He hates transparency.

I already see what kind of thread this is going to be.

I like Obama...

I think the Democratic party is trying to mimic some of the more effective Republican party tactics.

If Trump murdered someone in cold blood and ate their heart on national television, we'd have members of his team on the news tomorrow telling us how unfair it is that the media is giving it so much coverage. It's a constant barrage of "the media is unfair" and it's been very effective. It doesn't matter if the coverage is justified or not, the Republican party hammers on that point with every single news item that they see as a negative to their "brand".

I'm not criticizing, mind you, because it's a very clever strategy. Complain about something loud enough and long enough, you'll have the less perceptive people believing it without even thinking about it.

My mother was talking about how biased the media is to the Republican party. I said, "how would you know? Your husband only watches FOX News." Her reply was something like, "well, that's what people are saying." Once the idea was established, her "confirmation bias" took over.

I've been noticing recently that the Democrats are starting up the same theme and it seems pretty pervasive. Now, I don't think they're as unified as the Republicans but this seems like a common sense counter-tactic.

I think he should do whatever he wants.

Well, he already gets away with drone striking civilians, so I guess the sky's the limit for him.

You talk as if there was any dignity in US politics to begin with. It's nothing more than a soap opera for the people and a fun race for the politicians.

The WWE contains more truth and integrity than US politics.

Ditto....Thank God I'm Canadian...Good Luck America.

Agreed it was one sided and biased. The FBI/CIA had info on Russia ties, but the FBI director decides to impose himself into a presidential election in a partisan manner like 5 days before election day and only bring up the Clinton email thing again (which he then says there's nothing new to investigate). 

That's plain partisanship, the FBI/CIA/etc. have no business injecting themselves into a presidential race like that. Comey should be fired.
