Recent statements by Rudy Guiliani in interviews made it seem as though this information was leaked to him well in advance of the timeline that Comey reported, and they may have been sitting on these new emails for longer than Comey said he knew about them. Assuming a lot of things (and as a Canadian, I'm no expert in how Americans do stuff), if there are dissenters within the FBI who actively want to get Trump into office, Comey might have been stuck between a rock and a hard place in writing the letter he did: should Comey himself come out and write that letter, or let the info be leaked by the same FBI agents who told Guiliani? If they were leaked by agents, it would look as though the FBI was trying to suppress negative Clinton news and was supporting her. When Comey wrote that letter, it was the reverse: it looked like the FBI was trying to help Trump. There was no winning for him. I think the fact that there were agents (either active or retired, depending on the day Rudy is talking) leaking this information to Guiliani, that definitely needs to be investigated (the FBI agents, not necessarily Rudy). People calling for Comey's head might be after the wrong people in this situation. |
Its pretty apparent that he lost control of the whole thing. He's not listening to the DOJ who told him to follow protocol, and he isn't keeping leaks from the Trumplandia agents who are not listening to him. Hes not keeping his impartiality and neither is his agents. Time to clean house before they become a joke.
