Related: About this forumFox News' Judge Napolitano Blasts James Comey: FBI Had No Duty Or Right To Violate Due Process
Amazing: Even FOX News people see how dangerous Comey's actions are:Fox News' Judge Napolitano tore into FBI Director James Comey for injecting the FBI into the political process, informing Congress about Anthony Wiener's laptop, linking it to Hillary Clinton without any proof and violating his oath of office and due process.
Judge told Fox News' Shep Smith, "There was absolutely no duty, obligation, or right for him to announce that the Clinton investigation had been opened."
He explained, "Look, if they found a treasure trove information on Anthony Weiner's laptop, they are duty bound to investigate what they found. But, the law prohibits the FBI from taking a snapshot, a progress report of a criminal investigation, and broadcasting that. It is sort of like, "hey, we have some stuff on you. We don't know what it is. We haven't looked at it yet, we haven't decided the significance of it, we don't even know if it's about you or somebody that works for you, but we're just telling everybody that we have it." That violates due process, the essence of which is, notice what's going on, and fairness, and I'm very disappointed, as are a lot of people from all over the political spectrum."
There has been considerable outrage not just from Democrats or Clinton supporters, but from many Republican pundits as well.

They had nothing and the momentum was all on Hillary's side.

Where have all the "House is in Play" threads gone? We need to get back there by Tuesday with turnout and women voters saying NO to sexual assault.
