FBI Director James Comey has been getting a lot of criticism for his decision to inform Congress about possible new evidence in the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Though it was a break with protocol to make such information public so near an election, it was the right thing to do. The American people have a right to know that possible new evidence exists, and I hope Director Comey will release the FBI’s preliminary findings before the election. Maybe there’s something there, maybe not.
I don’t like Hillary’s penchant for secrecy, but I will vote for her. She is a smart and competent woman and there is no question that she is a better alternative than Trump. While I hope this doesn’t derail her election prospects, I still think Director Comey did the right thing. That takes courage and I commend him for it.
