Comey's FBI makes waves |
2016-03-10 |
[The Hill] The aggressive posture of the FBI under Director James Comey is becoming a political problem for the White House. The FBI’s demand that Apple help unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino killers has outraged Silicon Valley, a significant source of political support for President Obama and Democrats. Comey, meanwhile, has stirred tensions by linking rising violent crime rates to the Black Lives Matter movement’s focus on police violence and by warning about "gaps" in the screening process for Syrian refugees. Then there’s the biggest issue of all: the FBI’s investigation into the private email server used by Hillary Clinton, Obama’s former secretary of State and the leading contender to win the Democratic presidential nomination. |

#8 Director Comey's term lasts until 2023. It's my understanding that: He doesn't really have "tenure" like a SC judge. The appointment has to be revisited every 10 years at least, and the president can pull him before then. The problem is that Congress has to approve a replacement . . . . |

#6 Assuming his life lasts until 2023 - being a threat to the wrong people could make that assumption risky. |

#3 Trying to put pressure on Comey can only be expected. Some people might call it obstruction of justice. Amateurs. |

#2 I doubt Comey will act on Clinton. It would be a career ender. Maybe some of his family could disappear. If he does Obama will pardon her anyway. |
