Harry Reid: Comey Aiding Trump, Ignoring Russian Ties
"You continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information."

Senator Harry Reid has sounded the war trumpets on FBI Director James Comey for reopening the investigation into Hillary's use of a private email server, going so far as to accuse him of breaking federal law by aiding Trump and ignoring his supposed ties to Russia.
In a letter published on Sunday, Reid personally accuses Comey of aiding and abetting Trump's campaign by reopening the investigation just 11 days prior to Election Day. Without citing any evidence to justify such a claim, Reid alleges the FBI Director willingly violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits executive branch employees from "activity directed towards the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group."
Donning a tin-foil hat, Reid then alleges that Comey has documented proof of Trump's supposed ties with the Russian government, but he refuses to come clean with it before the American public, showing a double-standard in his treatment of Hillary. Good luck trying to hold back laughter over this gem of outrage:
In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public...and yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.
Again, Reid gives no evidence of this, going beyond the kitchen sink and throwing the whole garbage disposal at Comey in hopes it will stick.
Ending on a note of the most melodramatic kind, Reid concludes his letter saying he now regrets ever supporting Comey's nomination, even when Republicans filibustered it.
"I led the fight to get you confirmed because I believed you to be a principled public servant," Reid concluded. "With the deepest regret, I now see that I was wrong."
The next few months ahead will be Reid's last in the Senate before moving on into retirement.
Good riddance.
