      The amount of self-delusion and blame-shifting about the nature of the HRC email investigation -- even months later -- continues to amaze.

      Both Trump campaign & Clinton were under FBI investigation but FBI only made one investigation public. That's an obvious problem.

      Nature of the investigations wildly different. HRC was under personal felony investigation, per FBI docs. Unclear if same is true of Trump.

      Should've been up to voters, not Comey, to decided which investigation was bigger deal. He choose to release only on one campaign.

      Because the HRC investigation was wildly different, including that he had an affirmative obligation to notify Congress re: status changes.

      "If you reveal info on one candidate, you must also reveal info on the other" is an arbitrary standard, ignores differences in circumstances

      Not arbitrary -- it's simple fairness to voters.

      It's absolutely arbitrary because "fairness to voters" is not a practicable legal standard.

      Your faith that FBI head would be moved by legal standards rather than politics is charmingly naive & disconnected from history.

      Nothing I've said has anything to do with having "faith" in the FBI head. It has to do with the fallaciousness of your proposal.

      Comey's intervention had a huge political impact. I'm not happy about FBI head having so much power. You evidently are.

          I'm unhappy about the FBI even existing: favor its abolishment. Also not happy about stupid, misleading fallacies.

          Comeys power was no more or less than the importance granted to him by the voters. I love the comey blame game bc it distracts from voters..
