Comey has witheld information about Trump's relationship to Russia: But shared inuendo on Clinton: may have violated Hatch Act

Reid accused Comey of having intent to aid one political party over the other in the election and called his behavior a "double standard" due to the fact that, as Reid claimed in the letter, Comey has information related to Donald Trump's dealings with Russia.

"I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public," Reid writes. "And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information."

"By contrast, as soon as you came into possession of the slightest innuendo related to Secretary Clinton, you rushed to publicize it in the most negative light possible."

Reid is not alone in claiming that Comey violated the Hatch Act. In a New York Times op-ed, Richard W. Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer under George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007, says that he filed a complaint the F.B.I. with the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates Hatch Act violations.

Reid: Comey may have broken law 

 

That Comey had evidence of Trump's dealings with Russia and withheld it and then published unconfirmed inuendo about Clinton this close to the election could just be Comey trying to get his job extended by a President Trump. If he helps Trump get elected just like Putin is also doing maybe he could stay on as head of the FBI since Comey is after all a Republican.
