| Eric Holder Condemns FBI Director Comey Over Clinton 'Mistake' | |
| 2016-10-31 | |
| [CNBC] Former Attorney General Eric Holder has written a scathing op-ed condemning FBI Director James Comey for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. "I fear he has unintentionally and negatively affected public trust in both the Justice Department and the FBI," Holder wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post published late Sunday. "And he has allowed -- again without improper motive -- misinformation to be spread by partisans with less pure intentions." Holder accused Comey of violating long-standing policies and traditions when the FBI director wrote to members of Congress on Friday and informed them his agency was reviewing a fresh batch of emails related to the Clinton investigation.

| #11 Mistake? And would murder be referred to as a 'lapse of judgment'? |

| #10 Conspiracy theory of the day: Comey is a loyal Democrat who is in the tank for Hillary. So why do this? Well, one theory is that the Hillary camp's internal polling is showing a loss. The public polls are just agitprop, so this is not an impossibility. There are also plenty of early mail-in ballots coming in, the results of which will be available to the Democrats. So if you are going to lose anyway, how to snatch some kind of victory? Well, you could spend the next 4 years complaining about a stolen election. Enter Comey. Reopen the investigation. Claim to be the victim of dirty tricks. Play dirty and blame the Republicans. Rinse and repeat. |

| #9 Remember, a large portion of the US think Eric is a hero. Some of them even post on Rantburg. From time to time. |

| #4 I think Mr Holder did a pretty good job negatively affecting public trust in the DOJ himself. He shouldn't be so modest. |

| #3 Mr. Holder, Comey negatively affected public trust in the DJ and FBI when he excused Hillary's crimes. |
