The release Tuesday of James Comey’s highly anticipated memoir has rekindled the simmering feud with top Clinton family advisers, who still blame the fired FBI director for President Trump’s 2016 election victory.

Longtime Hillary Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill delivered an unsparing Twitter diatribe against Comey ahead of the release of “A Higher Loyalty.”

Merrill blasted Comey for allegedly dancing around dozens of questions in Sunday’s ABC interview by answering with “maybe,” accusing him of “hubris” and again faulting him for the election of Trump – whom he called “the most self-involved, destructive leader the U.S. has ever known.”

Merrill zeroed in on Comey’s two most controversial actions during the Clinton email probe: His July 2016 public announcement recommending no criminal charges while calling Clinton “extremely careless” and his October 2016 announcement that the bureau was revisiting the case after the discovery of potentially relevant emails on former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop.

“He made a public spectacle of the conclusion of the email investigation, breaking with Department norms, calling into question the integrity of the process,” Merrill said of the July announcement. “It did nothing to quiet the Trump campaign from accusing the FBI of bias & did everything to make Americans feel uneasy.”

As for the campaign-rocking October announcement, Merrill said: “[W]hy did he sit on the information for so long, until right before the election?” He accused Comey of laying the groundwork for a “politicized” leak by notifying GOP members of Congress of that development.

Merrill wrote: “None of this adds up. And writing about it now is going to do no favors for the FBI & DOJ, currently in the fight of their lives trying to repair the damage to their reputation.”

I have a feeling Jimmie is gonna shoot out the drain plug in the swamp.

He got himself into this mess, by his actions outside the scope of his jurisdiction.....
The only way out now is the truth.
Trump was not suppose to win, that is obvious, even a blind man.
However, you can't create a different finish to a horse race, when the horses are back in the stable, without revealing your shenanigans....
The BIG bettors lost, along with their bets  

This is a story that is not going to go away anytime soon....
If anything, I think it will grow and snare more folks into its mess.    

Sitting up here on my porch in Canada and looking at the "goings-on" down there it seems like concurrent episodes of "Homeland", "House of Cards" and "Ray Donovan"

I don’t have a clue to your allegations, but it makes me question why the press and everyone else was wrong about it’s outcome, even the top cop Comey who admits to making decisions based on President Hillary.
How can you explain such a overlook if what you are saying is true?
Given the nature of the world, maybe it’s better that those who are snakes be in charge than those who can’t see the ploy?
