What is clear is that he shouldn't have worded the statement to congress as poorly as he did. He attempted to downplay it afterwards but the damage was done. It's also emerged he was advised against this by the Justice Department.
However the rule about not attributing to malice that which is better explained by stupidity should suffice. At worse he has shown a desire to be in the limelight as with his press conference when the FBI brought no charges.

They're reopening it because of the emergence of new e-mails. They're not revisiting the old e-mails, allegations of evidence tampering or anything else. They've found more e-mails and they're looking into it although we don't know if they involve Clinton's e-mail server nor if they even include her.

We have the first polling from after the e-mails: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-batt...of-fbi-emails/
Not quite as bad for Clinton as first feared. People who are voting against her think it's a big deal, those voting for her do not. I think 'e-mails' are sort of priced in at this point. Clinton is ahead in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Trump in Arizona. |
Sorry didn't mean that to be used as part of this investigation it was just a summary of Comey himself and his involvement in its entirety and to be fair, a good reason on why he should be removed.
Go back to Trump and Clinton Jail quote.. Assuming Trump stuck to his guns and when he won, it'd be Comey in his sights. Now Comey has stumbled upon some new evidence..
Conspiracy to go with your Sunday dinners!
