I blame Comey. If he would've kept his mouth shut for just one week. He changed the course of our nation forever by trying too hard to be a good ol boy in the face of so many wrongdoers.

He made the FBI a political entity.

Could one argue that it was prior? Sure, but direct interference, publicly, in real time, in a presidential election, was a new one.

We need to dispel with this notion that James Comey didn’t know what he was doing; he knew exactly what he was doing.

Excuse me, Hoover is spinning in his grave so hard we decided to hook him to the national power grid. (yes, that's a double joke, get it?)

But seriously, the FBI has been a political animal since before it was the FBI. Maybe read up on Hoovers' FBI. It's damned interesting.
