I dispute the accuracy of that characterization. But it's cemented into the prevailing, unshakable liberal view.

ok, so your disagreement is not with the claim that it cost Clinton the election but with the claim that it was abnormal?

"Cost Clinton the election" seems like an overstatement/improper framing, but essentially yes.

The crux of my objection is with the casual assertion that Comey's action was obviously improper or "bad."

fair enough. That is an assumption (one I do agree with) but not the core argument of the piece, fwiw.

But that's how the piece is framed, and that's the "conclusion" you reach.

I'm willing to accept it "had an impact" but you need to establish why "it had an impact" automatically means Comey = Bad
