Yup, and the DOJ is making it clear that the FBI's (aka Comey) release of the memo would be inconsistent with the policies of the DOJ. 

 

Meanwhile Trump has a court date for a rape case brought by a plaintiff who was 13 years old at the time.  Somehow Hillary's e-mails are important but apparently this is not.

Looks like many in the criminal justice community are taken aback by Comey's series of actions as well.

When FBI Director James Comey wrote his bombshell letter to Congress on Friday about newly discovered emails that were potentially “pertinent” to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, agents had not able to review any of the material, because the bureau had not yet gotten a search warrant to read them, three government officials who have been briefed on the probe told Yahoo News.

 

Sending out a letter before even reviewing the material or even obtaining a warrant to view the material could be a serious violation of the law on the part of the FBI Director.

Maybe I'm jaded, but even if what Comey did deserves consequences (i.e. losing his position), I doubt it happens. So goes the long tradition of CYA. All bluster but, in the end, no action. That said, I do believe this was completely political and I hope his ass is roasted for it, even if nothing else comes of it.

Looks like the polls were tightening in various states like Florida and nationally even before Comey. It seems like people always act appalled by Trump but then fall back into line. Various races like WI Senate (Feingold has always been a poor campaigner) are also tightening. It's frightening to think that people are stupid or complacent enough to where Trump might win and Democrats might pick up one or two Senate seats at best. Maybe this Comey mess is a good thing as it will further remind Hillary voters to take nothing for granted.
