The FBI, Credibility, and Government
- MrZongle2 10y ago"The alternative was the head of the FBI deciding for the people of the United States who would be their next president." I like Scott Adams, but he's dead wrong here. Last I heard, the Sanders camp hasn't conceded defeat. Neither major political party has held their convention and officially chosen their nominees. Additionally, there are a fair number of third parties available. And if all the above didn't apply and Adams was otherwise right, there still would be one individual besides Comey who would be responsible for "choosing" the next President of the United States: the individual at the center of the controversy who, even if innocent, has done almost nothing to avoid such an egregious appearance of impropriety.
- pasbesoin 10y agoOn the one hand, I understand the rationale. I even remember something similar being written into an episode of "The West Wing". On the other hand, the U.S. citizenry has had it "up to here" with "too big to fail". Too big to fail politics? Political careers? (Not to mention all the other "too big to fail' careers we seem to have, these days, particularly at the top.) Enough.
