DOJ Complaint Filed Against FBI Director James Comey For Interfering In Presidential Election

By Jason Easley on Fri, Oct 28th, 2016 at 4:35 pm



A complaint has been filed against FBI Director James Comey with Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility that accuses him of interfering in a presidential election.

The Democratic Coalition Against Trump released a statement announcing their complaint:

The Democratic Coalition Against Trump filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility on Friday against FBI Director James Comey for interfering in the Presidential election, following the FBI’s decision to open up an investigation into Secretary Clinton’s emails this close to Election Day. Federal employees are forbidden from participating in political activities under the Hatch Act.

“It is absolutely absurd that FBI Director Comey would support Donald Trump like this with only 11 days to go before the election,” said Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the Democratic Coalition Against Trump. “It is an obvious attack from a lifelong Republican who used to serve in the Bush White House, just to undermine her campaign. Comey needs to focus on stopping terrorists and protecting America, not investigating our soon to be President-Elect Hillary Clinton.”

Outrage is growing over Comey’s actions as details about the FBI investigation have revealed that it has nothing to do with Clinton, her emails, or her server.

Director Comey’s motives for sending the letter 11 days before a presidential election have been questioned by both Republicans and Democrats.

If Comey’s actions were politically motivated, he would be in violation of the Hatch Act.

What Republicans initially viewed as a new hope in the presidential election has quickly been exposed as a desperately political ploy.

The American people deserve a full explanation from Director Comey, because the letter that was released today raises more questions than answers.

FBI Director James Comey Schooled by Former DOJ Spokesman for Abusing His Power

Fri, Oct 28th, 2016 at 11:05 pm

Matthew Miller, self described "Recovering flack from DOJ, DSCC", schooled Republican FBI Director James Comey for violating his power and lambasted him for commenting on a case within 60 days of an election.



Former DOJ spokesman for Eric Holder Matthew Miller, a self described “recovering flack from DOJ, DSCC”, schooled Republican FBI Director James Comey for violating his power and lambasted him for commenting on a case within 60 days of an election.

“The department and the FBI have very strict rules about when they can comment on ongoing cases and Director Comey has violated those rules going back to his original press conference when he closed the case,” Miller said on CNN. “But this latest example violates a long standing practice which is that the department goes out of its way not to do anything that can be seen as trying to influence an election in the closing days of an election, and usually they interpret the closing days to be seen as the last 60 days let alone the last 11 days.”

Miller also held school on Twitter about Comey’s abuse of power, which has led to Hillary Clinton having to defend against a negative:

The problem with Comey’s actions isn’t that he is investigating Hillary Clinton; the problem is he is violating long standing rules that prohibit federal employees from doing anything that could be seen as political near an election. It is an established rule that ongoing investigations aren’t commented on for obvious reasons.

This is quite simply not done. Comey’s reasons for doing this are unclear, and perhaps when he provides more information his decision will make more sense. But it’s troubling that we are seeing such a consistent breakdown of tradition and rules/agreements of law surrounding the Trump campaign, which seems to have lowered the bar all around.

LOL!!!! So who is WHINING now??!!!

Wake Up Stupid People who are Hillary Shrills. This election is about fixing our country. This election is about securing our borders, fixing bad trade deals, bringing our manufacturing jobs back home, stimulating the US economy, balancing our deficits starting with trade deficits, flushing out illegal immigration and pouring it down the Swamp Drain so our people never have to compete or share anything with an illegal alien ever again. This election is about fixing our inner cities, infrastructure, military, education, health care, and saving Social Security and Medicare for our Seniors. And peace.

We want pretty cities and neighborhoods, we want safe communities, we want our people to be free, prosperous and happy. This is the promise that was America. It's time to honor the deal and make it so.

HONOR THE DEAL!!!

VOTE TRUMP!!!

Regardless of what we think about Comey and his previous actions, this is one of those you'll be damned if you do and damned if you don't moments.

He made his bed, like the Hillary he thought he was protecting, he can rot in it.

What Republicans initially viewed as a new hope in the presidential election has quickly been exposed as a desperately political ploy.

Has anyone read or heard anything that would suggest Comey's recent action is a political ploy? I haven't. Personally, I think it's a cover his arse ploy.

Comey has ties to the Clintons that go all the way back to Arkansas and White Water. He's rotten to the core.
