Comey says he is ‘mildly nauseous’ over possibility his October letter led to Clinton loss

FBI Director James Comey gave an impassioned defense to lawmakers on Wednesday of his decision, just days before the 2016 presidential election, to inform Congress that the bureau was reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.
“I faced a choice,” Comey said in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I’ve lived my entire career by the tradition that if you can possibly avoid it, you avoid any action in the run-up to an election that might have an impact, whether it’s a dog-catcher election or president of the United States. But I sat there that morning and I could not see a door labeled, ‘No action here.'”
Comey said that on Oct. 27, the investigative team informed him that the metadata analysis of emails on disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop — seized by the FBI in an unrelated investigation — showed thousands of Clinton’s emails on that device, possibly including those from her first three months as secretary of state, which had been missing until then. Weiner was married to Clinton’s close aide, Huma Abedin.
Comey said he then authorized the team to seek a search warrant.
In deciding how to handle the potentially explosive information, “I could see two doors and they were both labeled ‘action,’” Comey told the committee. “One was labeled ‘speak,’ and the other was labeled ‘conceal.’”

Nobody is more nauseating than this partisan evangelical who should be brought up on charges of interfering with an election the same way Trump and the Russians were and should be charged. This jacka*ss has had months to come up with today's rehearsed acting performance. Nice try but the only people who will believe him are those that benefitted by his crime including the ignorant deplorables.
