It seems to me that not only should running for an office give you no immunity against prosecution, if the candidate is a crook, we ought to know before installation. Once a candidate is seriously running, we might want to be extra alert for attempts to discredit a candidate with bogus claims, with possible indictment of those that attempt throw an election with "Trumped Up" charges.

Well, Comey didn't get that memo

For sure, and that was a much bigger deal than it was portrayed. It was not a lie that the FBI had new material, and it was not a lie that Hillary Clinton should have known better than to conduct government business on an insecure channel, but there was from the get-go no material evidence of serious harm. The dramatic public announcement was neither justified or just, and the timing predictably had serious consequences, giving the biggest crook in the history of the presidency an excuse for his endless, inane chants of "Lock her up".

I certainly believe the timing had much to do with the election outcome. And I hope Comey is reminded of that every time he looks in the mirror

There is a revolting irony given Trumps proven breaches of security by even having sensitive secrets in his possession in very insecure circumstances, and credible fears of their compromise.

I believe he regrets having taken that action.
