Harry Reid Declares FBI Director May Have Broken Federal Law
In a scathing letter sent Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) alerted FBI Director James Comey that due to his “partisan actions,” he may have broken the Hatch Act, a law that prohibits federal officials from using their official authority to influence an election.
On Friday, Comey sent a letter to Congress announcing that new emails were found in connection with the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, and the agency was unable to “assess whether or not this material may be significant.” Reid said once Comey “came into possession of the slightest innuendo related to Secretary Clinton, you rushed to publicize it in the most negative light possible,” and his “actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over another.”
Reid went on to accuse Comey of keeping quiet on “explosive information” he has about “close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government — a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity.”

[…] From Michael John Scott at MadMikesAmerica: […]
In political campaigns, and especially this one, words matter a lot. Comey had overstepped his authority in the first press conference/announcement by giving his opinion about the operation of the State Department. He either had a case or did not have one. End of statement and story. In the present case he does not have new evidence unless he has already looked into the e mails with would have been a constitutional violation. He has found some e mails that may have been written to or received from Secretary Clinton, but there is no indication that these are not e mails that have already been viewed by the agency. Once again he has broken protocol and made it public before knowing what the have.
Saying it is one thing, but doing something about it is another.
