Couldve easily sent the letter after the election. -- nm - Bud O'Lantern Oct 29, 09:15 1

He really screwed himself on this one. However the investigation turns out, there will be a further firestorm. -- nm - amoxy Oct 29, 09:13 24
- No, no ... ST has already guaranteed that this scandal will have no effect on the election at all. None. Zero. -- nm - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 11:17 10
  - BS. -- nm - Deeve Oct 29, 11:29 9
    - That's what I've been saying all along, too. The whole email scandal is only a scandal because the Clinton/Kaine campaign failed to address it. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 12:49 8
      - They could have addressed it better. But would it matter? Vince Foster still gets mentioned -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 13:03 2
        
        If the campaign had nailed it shut in the early primaries, they'd have the basis to complete discredit Comey now. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 13:12 1
        
        you are being naive. even the most forceful early response would not have foreclosed the FBI investigation or congressional hearings -- nm - mr monkey Oct 29, 13:24
      - MDH does not = ST. That makes your post BS too. -- (edited) - Deeve Oct 29, 13:01 2
        
        I was being hyperbolic, bloviating, self-important, and overly generalizing, so ... yes. You're right. -- nm* - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 13:12
        
        especially on music -- nm - classic rock crash Oct 29, 13:03
      - Clinton was a dumbass for not checking before she did this shit. She already knew she was running. - Booooocon Oct 29, 12:59 1
        
        Or, if you do stupid sh*t, own up to it. Immediately. Forcefully. Completely. And with full apology. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 13:14
- How soon will she replace him? Will she wait a little while so it won't look personal, or will she announce during the oath of office? -- nm - jnine Oct 29, 09:24 4
  - Obama will replace him late November is my bet -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 12:27 1
    - the key phrase from pixie's link - crash davis Oct 29, 12:39
  - It's not a cabinet type position. He's appointed to a ten year term. He'd have to quit or be fired. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 10:54 1
    - (For this exact reason) -- nm - iSpam Oct 29, 11:18
- well, no. he screwed Hillary. nobody will give a shit what happens to Comey in 10 days -- nm - mr monkey Oct 29, 09:14 7
  - If he clears Hillary of any wrongdoing, the right will go nuclear. -- nm - amoxy Oct 29, 09:15 6
    - congress will hold a whole investigation for each and every email with New Questions announced daily (same ones over and over again) -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 29, 10:45
    - what will they care if President Trump takes the oath of office? -- nm - mr monkey Oct 29, 09:16 4
      - true, but then the left will go nuclear -- nm - amoxy Oct 29, 09:18 3
