Why isn't Comey and the Hatch Act getting more attention

Probably because he isn't in violation of it.

BUT death threats come out of the woodwork:

4. Should be fired at a minimum

President Obama needs to fire Comey the day after the election. That would take the issue away from Hillary.

I would really like Loretta Lynch joined by President Elect Hillary to personally put cuffs and leg shackles on him before taking him into custody, but that probably wont happen unfortunately.

Only in a leftist dream does a government arrest and haul off someone who pisses off the Dear Leader.

8. Have you ever read the Hatch Act?

I didn't think so....

These mongrels are so unhinged it is chilling.

I might remind the primitives of franksolich's First Rule of Everything:

"Anything can happen, and usually does."

I guess.

Have any DU-folk yet posted fantasies of Comey being frogmarched out of the FBI within 24 business hours?

[FunkyZero]

Probably because he isn't in violation of it.

I haven't read it, admittedly...  but doesn't it only cover the executive branch anyway?
Just as an example, it would have to be someone in the executive branch that TOLD Comey to do something that violated the rules and do it for the sole purpose of interfering with the election?
And (and this is probably my misguided understanding), wouldn't Lynch actually be in violation of said act for coercing Comey to suppress information and for trying to kill off the investigation?

I guess I should take the time to read it now that it's becoming a dirtbag Reid talking point... and the DUmmies are all over it like stink on $%#

Those electric cars hardly make any noise at all, he'll need to have eyes in the back of his head at every crosswalk.

History repeats itself:

WJC vilified Kenneth Starr for daring to do his job well;

HRC, et al, are vilifying Comey for belatedly sort of doing his job.

Finally!!! A use for all those stupid Volts the feds bought to prop up GM.

Given the cold weather there, I wonder how all those Volts the State Department bought and shipped to Austria in 2012 are doing.

Sadly, better than the Benghazi Four where the money should have gone to security.

State Department Cut Libyan Security While Spending on Chevy Volts

The Washington Times is reporting that at the same time State Department officials were cutting security for our diplomatic stations in Libya, they were increasing the budget for our embassy in Austria in order to purchase Chevrolet's electric powered Volt:

In a May 3, 2012, email, the State Department denied a request by a group of Special Forces assigned to protect the U.S. embassy in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country. . .

Four days later, on May 7, the State Department authorized the U.S. embassy in Vienna [Austria] to purchase a $108,000 electric vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool’s new Chevrolet Volts. The purchase was a part of the State Department’s “Energy Efficiency Sweep of Europe” initiative, which included hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on green program expenditures at various U.S. Embassies.

While the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton within the last eighteen months specifically prohibits the stationing of Marines at any diplomatic station in that country, the American embassy in Austria has a full complement of Marines.

State Dept. Confirms: Marines on 9/11/12 Were Protecting U.S. Embassy--in Barbados

(CNSNews.com) -- When terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 of this year and killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, there were no U.S. Marines deployed in Libya to defend U.S. diplomats, diplomatic facilities and classified information and equipment.

However, says the State Department, a Marine Security Detachment was deployed on that day to carry out those duties at the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados.
