30. F**k Comey. He blatantly ignored the AG NOT to release the letter to the rethugs in Congress 11 days

May 2025

before the general election, a direct violation of the Hatch Act, which opened the distortion and LIE that the email investigation had been reopened. THAT WAS A LIE. It was not reopened, it only was determining if there was any new information on a laptop computer.

There wasn't, and it took them until late Friday, the weekend before the general for the ass Comey to come out and quietly announce there was not any new information, and no need to reopen the investigation. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. The illustrious U.S. media for the following 11 days before the election, paraded every right wing pundit across their outlets propagating the LIE that the email investigation had been reopened, and the complete unhinged and false characterizations how this was the worst security failure in the history of the U.S.

If these fascists threw comey into GITMO for the rest of his worthless life, who cares.
