Harry Reid says FBI director may have broken the law - MarketWatch

Comey’s disclosure of renewed Clinton email probe may have violated Hatch Act

FBi Director James Comey may have broken the law by going public about a new effort to find evidence of wrongdoing by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Sunday.

In a strongly worded letter to Comey, Reid said he may have violated a law that prohibits federal officials from using their office to influence an election.

“I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act,” the Nevada senator wrote. “Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law.”

Reid also suggested Comey was covering up revelations about Republican candidate Donald Trump, saying Comey possesses “explosive information about close ties and coordination” between Trump, his advisers and the Russian government that he has not disclosed. - Marketwatch
