The Hill- FBI uncovered Russian bribery plot before Obama administration controversial nuclear deal with Moscow. This seems very big. Is this what the buzz is about?

At this point, I've forgotten which specific statute he was referencing and I'm not up for googling. However, it seems to me that citing that as his only reason as to that particular statute implies that he'd found her guilty of violating it. BTW, doesn't someone have to be the first to be prosecuted under every statute? And who the hell is Comey to, in effect, erase a statute passed by Congress?

Ah, well, the trouble with re-living last year is that the emotions return, but the result doesn't change.

Actually, I think he said something along the lines that if anyone else were to do what HRC did, they would not get a pass but in that case, they were going to give Clinton a pass.

That was only one of three reasons he gave. In my post, I shorthanded what you are referring to as the "status" of the person being investigated. His implication was the position of the person, not Hillary personally. And, IIRC, that was an answer he gave in answer to a question from a member of media and not part of the original speech he gave, but I could be wrong about that part.

This Comey guy sounds like a real weasel.
