Is It Possible GOP & Or Trump Have Been Conspiring With FBI & Comey?

You wonder if something is fishy about this entire episode. I would not put it past the GOP leadership or Trump allies working with the FBI to create this chaos. It may be far fetched but the early release of the information before the Democrats were given the information is troubling.

We know that the GOP and Trump are beyond desperate to steal this election in some way. The GOP has committed treason in the past i.e. the Vietnam peace talks, and Reagan hostage deal. Remember what happened to Casey.

Also while going after Hillary Comey is protecting information about Trump and his close association with the Russians. Desperation drives one to desperate means.

Trying to dig into it but I heard that the Republicans were made aware Comeys pending announcement before anyone else and now I read on CNN that Comey has had the info for weeks

Not necessarily Comey but I bet there's an assload of conservative crazies in the FBI who've been feeding info to Trump and pressuring their bosses to go after Clinton.

Almost Certain:
Trump's teams has people in the FBI below Comey who have been trying to nail Clinton. Others in FBI are working against them.
Comey is caught in the middle. He was threatened with a leak if he didn't send the letter to Chaffetz.
Less Certain:
Could be there are others who are sitting on info on Trump-Russia. Maybe Reid isn't wrong about that.
Maybe the anti-Trumpers in the FBI have leaked this other info to someone.

Well, that's a theory anyway.

it would be a cinch for Comey to do so with today's GOP given all the new technology we have since then.
