Is FBI Director Comey's Blatant Election Interference Meant To Save GOP Congress Or Trump?

FBI Director James Comey needs to be fired.

It wasn't enough that he broke protocol and defied common sense by releasing the FBI investigative notes about the Clinton emails. It wasn't enough that he dribbled them out each time that Clinton surged ahead in the polls. Typically after another blunder by Trump.

Now, he's done the unconscionable. He's released a vague letter to Congress stating that emails in an unrelated case may be pertinent in the investigation. And he's releasing this letter, yet again when Clinton is surging in the polls and Republican control of the House is at risk.

He couldn't wait two weeks. He couldn't wait a month. No, he has to release just right: just in time for people to misread the letter, for Trump to misrepresent it, and to impact this damn election because of the damn emails all over again.

Comey's agenda is partisan politics, no doubt about it.

Who the hell does that?
You release info after you've investigated it.

Sounds very Fox'y to me.

Does this guy want Trump as his boss?

Did Comey intentionally set off an explosion to save the GOP?
