Feste,
Comey is stuck in the so called "material world" which he has to function in since he is the director of the FBI, one who is to provide an objective conclusion. Scientifically speaking, he has to make a determination if there is an evidence whether a violation of the laws has occurred or not. Without any evidence, he cannot make any definite conclusion. However, he can make a statement that he has no evidence to make a conclusion. As such, any number of scenarios can be possible: a) Hillary is innocent, b) Hillary is guilty, c) Trump staged the entire event to force the investigation, d) the Russians were trying to influence the election. Given the situation, Comey will more likely say Hillary is innocent or that there is no evidence to show that any violation was committed. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : I'm a little behind regarding last Friday's news, but the FBI director reminds me of a bad soccer referee who after a particular incident refuses to award one team a penalty kick in the first half of a match and is so vilified by the team and their fans that in the second half he decides to award a penalty kick to the same team even though there is absolutely no good reason for doing so, even though he tries to make one up. Bad, weak, unfair refereeing. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : Ann, I don't believe you'd want to miss all the twists and turns that this election creating. Now, the FBI director is being accused of violating the Hatch Act or trying to influence the election. Personally, I wouldn't want to be placed in that situation. I would suspect that the director won't make any conclusion about the emails until the election is over. If he did, both camps would accuse of one violation of the other. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <j_alexander_stanley@...> wrote : A friend on Facebook posted this: "I wonder how much it would cost to have myself put into a medically induced coma until November 9th.
