Hillary has reason to fear FBI

[kroz]

FBI Director James Comey is the pivotal figure in the 2016 presidential race that no one is talking about.

Comey, a Republican appointed by President Obama who enjoys a stellar reputation on both sides of the aisle, is investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of State.

The 54-year-old FBI chief, confirmed by the Senate to a 10-year term in a 93-1 vote this summer, is known for his independence and aggressive prosecutions.

The grandson of a police officer in Yonkers, N.Y., he has repeatedly stressed his nonpartisan approach.

When he served in former President George W. Bush's Justice Department, Comey made headlines by rushing to a Washington hospital to prevent White House counsel Alberto Gonzales from getting a bedridden Attorney General John Ashcroft to sign off on reauthorizing a domestic surveillance program.

It's the moment that made Comey's reputation and underlines why Republicans and Democrats expect he'll call the Clinton email investigation as he sees it, no matter the political stakes.

"My folks don't give a rip about politics," the 6-foot-8-inch Comey said earlier this year. "We're competent, we're independent and we're honest."

We shall see. I am very skeptical of what can happen when Obama and the Clinton's are involved.

People have wound up dead for less then that.

Behold....an honest cop....he'll get nowhere running up the protracted evil that thrives in the Marxists' worm eaten brains

Washington can tolerate anything except an honest man. It sets too high a standard for the rest of those trash.

Why would Barry Soetoro (alias Barack Obama)
EVER appoint an honest person?

Could it be that he's always hated the Clintons,
so he appointed an honest cop to take her out?

We know there's a vast menu of crimes she's committed
from which to choose.

"But he made her Secretary of State!"

He had her do the dirty work he wanted
of putting the world in chaos.
(He knew that no Clinton would ever decline to do dirty work!)

And then bring in the honest cop
to make her take the fall.

Bernie Sanders seems more in synch with
Barry The Hard Core Communist.
