Throwing mud is about right… since when did the head of a law enforcement agency get the right to offer opinion and speculation about a person who wasn’t charged with a crime?.Imagine if your local sheriff did this. Imagine if they were able to go to reporters and speculate on the competence or abilities of a person, in a way that could bias future legal investigations..That’s an abuse of power, regardless of who is receiving the mud.
How about one with Trump on the truck, and Lawsuits as the splatter? The Republicans do NOT want to admit that THEIR nominee has ACTUALLY been taken to court, and has SETTLED lawsuits. (We all suppose that’s an admission of guilt, even though it’s always listed as “admitting no wrongdoing!”)In addition, he threatens to sue those he disagrees with, and lets others hold the bag in bankruptcy!
It’s an article of faith with cons that Clintons always lie. .The notion might fly with more people, except that the cons have held dozens of hearings, and none of them have ever found a single thing they could run to court with. .All that’s left for the GOP is their faith. They can’t prove it, but they’ll never quit alleging it.
It might be worth noting that Comey was originally appointed as a US Attorney, then Deputy Attorney General, by Bush, the Obama put this serving government employee as head of the FBI.
My hunch is that Comey would have gladly recommended charges, if there had been any real basis for them, but when he saw there was no basis, he did the best smear job he could come up with.

it looks like the “Fix” was in….If you can’t say “Guilty”….you can imply it….or that she is too careless to be “Commander and Chief”
