If you’ve watched today’s events unfold and wondered why FBI Director James Comey was bending over backwards to dishonestly try to rig a Presidential race just eleven days before Election Day, it turns out you’re not the only one.
Now that the media has independently confirmed Comey was being untruthful when he tried to create the appearance that he’s reopening his investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails, there is already a DOJ criminal complaint moving forward against him. And now CNN is confirming that Comey has violated the policy of his own FBI.
CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who essentially speaks as the network’s de facto voice in legal matters, reported on-air on Friday evening that the FBI has an unwritten but absolute policy of not doing anything to interfere with Presidential elections in the final sixty days before Election Day. Comey clearly violated that policy today when he attempted to interfere with the election just eleven days out.
While this in and of itself does represent a criminal violation of the law on his part, it does serve as evidence that James Comey went out of his way to interfere with the election today in an unprecedented and against-policy manner.
When that evidence is connected with the fact that he purposely tried to mislead the American people into believing that his investigation into Congressman Anthony Weiner was instead a new investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails, it’s now clear that he purposely violated the Hatch Amendment of 1993 in an attempt to rig the Presidential election. It further raises the question of whether Comey will end up in prison for his crime. If you enjoy Daily News Bin, consider making a contribution.
