Ex-AGs Alberto Gonzales, Eric Holder rip FBI director
Source: CNN
Republican former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Monday slammed the FBI director's recent actions in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server.
He called Comey's actions an "error in judgment" and said he is "somewhat perplexed about what the director was trying to accomplish here."
Gonzales said Comey's letter Friday informing lawmakers that the FBI is reviewing new emails potentially related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state breaks from long-standing Justice Department practice. The protocol is not to comment on investigations and to stay silent on politically sensitive matters less than 60 days from an election.
"You don't comment on investigations because commenting on the investigation may jeopardize the investigation. And that's the box that he's put himself in, because people are now calling for more information -- for release of the emails," Gonzales told CNN's John Berman and Kate Bolduan on "At This Hour."

What is clear is that if you're in bed with Donald's campaign, it's win at all costs. But if you're everyone else out here in reality, we're all scratching our heads in alarm. Our country is experiencing a constitutional crisis at the hands of rouge government officials, namely disgraced F.B.I. Director Jame's Comey jumping on the grenade to save the dying republican party.

(129,623 posts)for not signing off on the wiretapping and other Shrub policies (Comey was acting AG), sending them to Ashcroft's hospital bedside to try to get a direct signoff. I figured Gonzo would suddenly wake up and throw a dagger his way.
