This was interesting, but a little silly. You don't need a Jack Reacher movie script to make sense of what Comey did.

 

My take on Comey is about the same as it was before. He has the reputation of being a competent and straight-laced guy. I don’t believe there’s any reason to believe he’s acting subversively, one way or another. He will have his role in history books when this election is over, but I also don’t believe he’s deliberately inserted himself into it.

 

I’ve dealt with his skewering from the right when he didn’t recommend charges in other threads. He’s now being skewered from the left for his recent letter to Congress. Due to the dramatic impact on the election this letter might have, critics say he should have waited until after the election to inform Congress, or done so privately. I think his letter was the best of a bunch of bad options.

 

Had he chosen to wait, it’s probable the investigation’s resumption would have been leaked or reported on. I think this would have been scandalous for the FBI, and ultimately just as dramatic for the election. The optics would have bolstered the conspiratorial idea that the decision not to recommend charges was politically motivated (why else would the FBI publicly announce its conclusions and decision not to recommend charges, then continue probing in private?).

 

The other option is that he could have privately informed Congress, which is arguably an even worse idea. It would have stayed private for a matter of minutes before Chaffetz et al ran with it. Then, the story would be defined by the wild speculation coming from Republican MoC. This is still the case, but at least we have the plain text of his statement to go by instead of the nonsense of Congressional “he said she said.” (I’ll add here that I found Reid’s statement idiotic.)

 

The letter was a bombshell coming this close before the election. But he really had no choice, the other options were much worse.

Pretty much my take as well.
Seems this guy did get out of the ground twice in 2010...

Pay No Attention To This Voter Fraud... Nothing To See Here | The Federalist Papers

 

229 times over the last decade in a city with a population of 2.7 million. Not exactly a huge number over that time period. And, are they all Dems?? What are the circumstances?? Clerical errors involving family members with the same name and address?? How many of these cases turned elections or resulted in charges??

Those were 229 voters who were apparently disenfranchised by the votes of a single corpse. Your response is the one that I see most often from Democrats. Republicans generally condemn zombie voting, without questioning who may have benefited and dismissing voting by the dead as an non-issue.

 

Keeping the dead on voter roles is an invitation to vote fraud and whether that invitation is accepted or not, it undermines the confidence people have in the electoral process.

I'm not accepting it. It's something that certainly needs to fixed, and it goes both ways. But someone making a clerical error that statistically has zero effect on a result is much different than rampant voting fraud.

Someone sure made sure Victor Croswell's vote was the beneficiary of a "clerical error"........several times.

Serious question: Do you actually expect anyone to pay attention to the million memes you post in these threads?
