re: #211 Brian J.

What would have been illegal about it, especially compared to Comey’s actions?

He was the President, Hillary was his named successor. Do the goddamned math and it results in a level of blowback a billion times more powerful than the already significant amount of wrath Comey incurred. Few non-Democrats would’ve accepted the information that is dripping out now if it had come from Obama then. If Hillary had won under such conditions it would’ve been a recipe for Civil War.

I know that some of you don’t like me calling Obama “weak.” Sorry. but he acted the part. When you let another country carry off a coup without complaint, you’re just not what a national leader should be. Our next Democratic leader needs to be able to call a spade a shovel, and act accordingly. Humphrey might have won if he’d exposed Nixon’s ratfucking in 1968, and so it is here.

You’re ignoring the political reality in operation and substituting it with incredibly naive ideas about how President Obama, who was hamstrung by both the far left and far right, should’ve acted.
