Department of Justice investigating Comey's actions before election

[RJKarl]

This has just been announced. The DOJ Inspector General has launched an official investigation into the FBI's action prior to the election.

Comey's unprofessional and unprecedented actions had an impact.

I am glad he is finally getting his just desserts for failing to indict Hillary.

i'm pretty sure the phrase is "just deserts"

It's correct both ways. It was original just deserts as desert also had a meaning "something deserved". But since america is so fat now everything is about dessert.

 

[RJKarl]

The origin of the term is about what's deserved not yummy desserts.

Yawn. How hard are they going to investigate this in the next 9 days? I'm guessing it won't be much of a priority thereafter.

Good...there should be an investigation, especially if the public is demanding one.

"Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said the decision to initiate a review was prompted by requests from numerous members of Congress and public inquiries."

If the DOJ wants to investigate something, it should investigate Loretta Lynch's private meeting with the husband (who also happened to be a former president) of a person who was currently under an FBI investigation....only days before a decision was to be made on whether she was going to be indicted.

not disagreeing but less impact than comey's actions

I'd say it was pretty damned important. What if that meeting led to the decision not to indict Hillary? If Hillary had been indicted, she would have probably had to drop out of the race and Donald Trump might not even be the President-elect today.

Really? I still think the insurance rate hikes had a bigger effect than Comey. Could be wrong, but does anyone know anyone who changed their votes because of Comey? Now I can see the reemergence of her email problem maybe persuading a few folks to stay home because they couldn't vote for either. But a week before the election getting notice that you're going to be paying $1-200 more per month for insurance hits you badly in the pocketbook. Because I'm not part of a group, my insurance went up $100 because I'm not entitled to any subsidy. Didn't cause me to switch my vote, but I was pissed at the Dems naivete in thinking all those assetless young folks would sign up for insurance or face that stiff $400 penalty.

Maybe that was true during the election, but now that the election is over you have to admit that none of that was important and Donald Trump won solely because more of America (the landmass, not people) agreed with his well thought out policies. Right, BKF?

Before I answer your question, did you ever answer mine?

I doubt it. Pretty hard to prove either way, however.
