It would not be legal. There’s no debate to be had.

Maybe this should feature in any coverage of this attack

Leaving Twitter is far easier.

I believe a dispassionate agency head would follow established practice and let the chips fall where they may. No announcement, especially not that close to the election.

Messy for whom? He didn’t just announce the end of the investigation. He took to a mic to make sure everyone knew he disapproved of Clinton’s actions. Protocol would have directed him to keep quiet. He chose to do otherwise. I don’t think we’ve gotten an honest assessment of what was going on in NY

because of his prior testimony that the case had been closed. Mistake number two. His decisions were based on his own feelings about the situation, not on established practice.

Is it protocol to publicly chastise someone after a non-prosecution decision? No. But he felt he had to do it, because he didn’t agree with his boss. Mistake number one. Is it protocol to announce investigative moves within a certain window of time before an election? No. But he felt he had to…

Praying for “that” day to come

He put his own reputation, and the internal politics of the FBI, above protocol that’s meant to protect our election system from influence. He made a mistake.

He should have followed DOJ protocol to avoid influencing an election. He failed in that both when he chose to step up to the microphone to chastise Clinton after declining to prosecute earlier in the year, and then again when he announced the email reopening BS one week before Election Day.

Hey - maybe going on the Sunday shows and saying Joe Biden was lying about the economy just like Trump isn’t the best strategy.

The billionaire class. Epstein was only one of them.

Why did he run as a Democrat twice if he thought they were cheating?

So he voted with the people who shared a meme video of him in a sombrero? Because people on the left are not respectful enough? Strange logic. Seems to me if you sign up willingly to be a leader on the left, you can’t afford to say “fuck you” to potential voters on your side.

The entire Trump government is corrupt. Shouldn’t that factor in to your coverage of the pressure they’re putting on Ukraine to surrender?

Asking the military to adhere to lawful orders only is sedition now? 🤔
