FBI releases docs from 2001 Rich investigation days before election
My comment? WTF?? Are you kidding me??
OK- that's funny as fuque. Everyone knows Bill pardoned his ol' buddy because they donated a million dollars to his and Hill's foundation and charities. It was a bribe and we all know it. Back then you screamed about how it didn't matter because the president can pardon anyone. SO- Suck it, bitch!

1. The IRS should release Trump tax returns
which would be illegal... which wouldn't stop the dems from doing it at all. Remember- YOU WANTED all the FBI investigation out in the open.

13. Not so sure I'd want a blackout period- what if they had information on tRump's rape of 13 year old
I'm kind of conflicted on this, because I see clearly that Comey is trying to damage Hillary's campaign. However, what if there was new, damning, irrefutable evidence that had just came to light about tRump raping that young girl? Should that be withheld until after the election?
A civil suit against Donald Trump alleging he raped a 13-year-old girl was dismissed in California in May 2016 and refiled in New York in June 2016.~ snopes.com
can you say judge shopping?
One of the earliest versions of the rumor was published on 2 May 2016 by the Winning Democrats web site, which reported that woman using the name Katie Johnson had named Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in a $100 million lawsuit, accusing them of having solicited sex acts from her at sex parties held at the Manhattan homes of Epstein and Trump back in 1994According to RadarOnline's initial reporting, the lawsuit filed in California on 26 April 2016 was dismissed over technical filing errors
On 20 June 2016, New York City-based blog Gothamist reported that the plaintiff had refiled a similar complaint in a New York State federal court
The online outlet that first reported the second filing in New York explained that the lawsuit might be allowed to proceed even though the statute of limitations for bringing suit has expired, because (according to plaintiff's lawyer) the plaintiff lacked the "freedom of will to institute suit earlier in time" due to her having been threatened by Trump
WHAT!!!?!?!??? The SOL has run out but they allowed the filing anyway because... [D]?
As of now, all of the information about this lawsuit comes solely from the complaint filed by "Katie Johnson," and no one has as yet located, identified, or interviewed her.
Oh, how convenient.
Wait a second... that whole thing sounds familiar...

Blowing old allegations into headline news: The sex rumors about Herman Cain, and the ugly spectre of black men as sexual predators
two unnamed female employees of the National Restaurant Association, which black GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain headed from 1996-1999, complained to colleagues and senior association officials about alleged inappropriate sexual behavior by Cain involving alleged conversations supposedly "filled" with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, which supposed unspecified conduct allegedly offended the women and forced them to leave their jobs at the trade group. The unnamed women supposedly signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts. The agreements, we are told, included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.
just another typical Clinton [D] tactic.

7. Heavily REDACTED because Mark Rich was a functionary for Poppy Bush ( IranContra/BCCI )
Clinton pardoned Rich for Poppy Bush. Everything else was distracting HORSESHIT!
In 1983 Rich and partner Pincus Green were indicted on 65 criminal counts, including income tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering, and trading with Iran during the oil embargo (at a time when Iranian revolutionaries were still holding American citizens hostage)
OH- so during Reagan's administration he was charged, eh? Interesting.
On January 20, 2001, hours before leaving office, U.S. President Bill Clinton granted Rich a highly controversial presidential pardon. Several of Clinton's strongest supporters distanced themselves from the decision. Former President Jimmy Carter, a fellow Democrat, said, "I don't think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful." Clinton himself later expressed regret for issuing the pardon, saying that "it wasn't worth the damage to my reputation."
How much wasn't it worth?
Clinton's critics alleged that Rich's pardon had been bought, as Denise Rich had given more than $1 million to Clinton's political party (the Democratic Party), including more than $100,000 to the Senate campaign of the president's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and $450,000 to the Clinton Library foundation during Clinton's time in office.
So--- in the run up to the 2000 elections the Clintons took in 1.55 million dollars and pardoned Mark Rich.
Hm.

34. Indeed, he was a Republican slimeball operative
but will we see this mentioned in the news stories?
yet the Bush family- who had two presidents during the time Mark Rich was hiding from justice- didn't pardon him?
Odd.

16. What the hell is going on is that Putin has something on Comey
There's simply no other way to explain this. Comey has to know that these actions will end his career, it must take some mighty strong convincing to get someone to go take such drastic measures.

26. or if someone has paid him off in a big way....say..$50 million or more
and has promised even more money if Trump is elected..
THAT would motivate an evil bastard such as Comey to do whatever he can to help Trump.
at least the DUmpmonkiez are getting their excuses ready for the big [R] landslide...

18. When I Saw This On the Home Page...
I was expecting it to be from Andy Borowitz or some other satire writer. It's not. Holy shit.
What's next? The double-secret file on what really happened with Vince Foster? Unbelievable.
At this point I think President Obama's and AG Lynch's hands are almost being forced. This freaking guy needs to be fired and perhaps arrested. If this isn't electioneering I guess I don't know what is.
Sickening.

27. Over the top
This is completely over the top. The FBI doesn't even want to try to covertly meddle in the election, they have effectively put a flashing fluorescent sign over the Bureau screaming it.

36. What in the **** is going on here?
What the **** is the FBI's *******ed problem? Could Comey BE any more blatantly partisan? Where the hell is the evidence we KNOW they're sitting on detailing Trump's numerous connections with Russian officials and banks? **** Comey, ****ing partisan hack.
