#2 Comey said the decision was unanimous? He meant among himself, the Director of the FBI, and himself, all three agreed in the decision, and they were the only three that count. And he agrees with them.
Actually, in his own mind, Comey believed he was being fair. He stated correctly that the FBI investigation found that Mrs. Clinton had committed more than one felony.
That was a plus for Republicans.
He then decided that it would be unfair for Mrs. Clinton to suffer any punishment for her behavior because she was running for president and that might be a disaster for Democrats. Thus he went beyond his FBI role to give his personal opinion that she be let off, as a compensating benefit for Democrats.
I wonder if this means that by the Comey rule, any felon can claim immunity from prosecution by declaring his/her self to be a Democrat candidate for President; perhaps even candidate for membership in the Senate or House.

The notion that when fairness favors one side, it is OK to be unfair to balance that fact, is the death warrant for justice.
To find that a murderer is guilty should similarly be balanced by letting him off. That is, after all, the logic of the Close Guantanamo movement.

#3 the Close Guantanamo movement. We can't close Gitmo. We might need it for the new detainees coming from DOJ.

#6 James Comey presides over an FBI in revolt over his leadership

Yet not one has resigned.

Yet not one has retired.

Yet not one has spoken out.

They know what side their bread is buttered on.
