It's tough and I don't think it's so black and white, and ultimately depends on "exactly" what they found.
Waiting until after seems wrong, and I say this as someone who as it stands is voting for HRC.
I honestly don't view this as influence, and more covering his ass, which has me nervous for HRC.
- woodruffw 10y agoIf we knew what they found, then I would agree. Unfortunately, all we do know is that they might have found something that might be important enough to warrant an investigation that might result in an indictment recommendation, &c, &c. With this in mind, it's more than a little strange. Unless I've misunderstood Comey's powers of discretion over FBI investigations (which is entirely possible), he has little to no need to "cover his ass."
- ls66 10y agoNot to mention that waiting until after means she controls informally if not formally many of the levers that would be used in the investigation. Can a sitting president be trusted not to interfere in any way possible in an investigation that would take from her her highest life's goal? It gets very muddled.
