ELECTION NEWS: Comey continues 'Hoovering' (as in J. Edgar Hoover) of the Clinton family as Election Day 2016 draws near...
While the FBI hasn't released any facts about Donald Trump's illegal and fraudulent deals, James Comey continues to fan rumors about HIllary Clinton. You decide.The FBI and James Comey continued its "Hoovering" (as in following the ugly legacy of J. Edgar Hoover) on November 1, 2016, by releasing what can only be described as dirt on Bill Clinton. While some observers tried to rationalize the October 28 release by FBI director James Comey as a principled stand by a "courageous" man and public service, the most recent release of information can only be seen as being in the tradition of J. Edgar Hoover, the infamous former FBI director who used the powers of the American secret police to red bait his friends and protesters (including this reporter) while generally ignoring the threats to citizens from organized crimes -- and even domestic terrorists who were not of the "Left Wing" variety.
On Friday, Comey slandered Hillary Clinton by releasing a strange statement to Congress about the fact that emails on the computer of Anthony Weiner might include some that improperly contained classified information. While some critics immediately noted that this placed Comey in the tradition of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, others tried to rush to Comey's defense. With the latest revelation, there is little doubt that Comey and the FBI are working against the candidacy of Hillary Clinton and therefore helping Donald Trump.
Here is what Diane Ravitch has to say about the latest attempt to dirty the Clintons...
Why Did the FBI Release Records about Bill Clinton’s Pardon of Fugitive Financier?, By Diane Ravitch
The FBI released a tweet from an account that had not been active for a year. The tweet contained a file about a controversial pardon that Bill Clinton granted on his last day in office to Marc Rich, a financier who was living abroad to avoid arrest.
Why now? The FBI claimed it was an automatic response to Freedom of Information requests. But coming on the heels of Director James Comey's announcement last Friday that he planned to review emails on Anthony Weiner's computer that may or may not be significant, the latest data dump was strange to say the least. Once again, the agency ignored well-known Department protocols against meddling in elections. Does Comey have a vendetta against Clinton?
The story says:
"The Twitter account used to publicize the Rich files, an official FBI account called@FBIRecordsVault, had been dormant for more than a year until Sunday, when it began to tweet links to archived documents. They included records related to Fred Trump, the father of the GOP nominee, which were posted to the website in early October. Those records included eight pages of largely biographical details about the elder Trump, much of which appeared to be compiled by the FBI in 1988. The agency advertised the Trump records by tweeting: “Fred C. Trump (1905-1999) was a real estate developer and philanthropist....” presumably it contained no reference to the Justice Department lawsuit against Fred and his son Donald for racial discrimination in renting apartments in the 1970s.
It continues:
"This week’s release of the Rich files demonstrates how many of the players in the current Hillary Clinton drama played roles in Clinton-related battles of the past. Comey, for instance, as a young prosecutor in New York, helped lead the case against Rich. Later, as U.S. attorney, he led the office that handled the investigation into the Clinton pardon from early 2002 to the end of 2003. Former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr., a Clinton backer who this week wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that Comey made a “serious error” in announcing the resumption of the email probe, was deputy attorney general at the time of the pardon and acknowledged that he had been contacted directly by Rich’s attorney. The pardon was criticized in part for bypassing an established process in which Justice lawyers review applications for merit. Holder’s name was one of only a few not blacked out in the redacted files released this week. Comey eventually supported Holder’s nomination for attorney general but told senators in 2008 that he had been “stunned” by the Rich pardon and that Holder’s actions in the case reflected a “huge misjudgment.”
Comey is rapidly undermining the FBI's reputation for nonpartisanship. What else will the FBI release in the next week?

comey is not coming forth because of the sudden deaths of people involved with this election.
Comey is afraid was afraid to speak the truth about the emails...because he was threatened That's what the Clintons legend will go down for. Hillary and Bill have brought nothing but drama and people went to jail or died under Bill Clinton..why so why would he not be afraid. I am glad he's stepped up and tell the truth when he finally does
