Perhaps Comey's awkwardly worded reprimand of Hillary was his capitulation that the only prosecutable evidence was deleted by his prime suspect; I tend to think he was as consigned to Hillary winning as most of the mainstream world was, and felt the investigation was futile. But now that Trump's keeping him on, I fully believe Comey's going to be free of the Obama/Clinton tentacles and he'll get to do his job again.
The more and more I think about it, the more my instinct keeps coming back to the giant black hole in this scenario: the missing e-mails that Hillary/her staff were able to scrub before handing over to the FBI, and what they really entailed. Now, this is entirely speculative, but seeing as how close John Podesta was to Hillary (She was going to make him her Secretary of State. Just let that sink in.), I can see their proclivities and personal beliefs being similar. Maybe John Podesta wasn't afforded the advance notice to wipe questionable e-mails as was Hillary, and if at all able he would've deleted every pedophiliac innuendo he could.
My previously held theory was the deleted e-mails contained dead-to-rights evidence of the Clinton Foundation's racketeering, but that seems already proven in some of the available e-mails and won't be too difficult to piece together with a select committee. But now that Trump's holding the reins of power, every day I feel like I'll wake up to the news that the missing e-mails have been found, and they're full of pizza and pasta and handkerchiefs and dominos and this entire web of lies will collapse of its own weight.
I totally agree... I think Comey was convinced Hillary was going to win and the only thing that could have prevented her was the FBI recommending prosecution, but that was not a sure thing, either. He was not going to take that risk because he was wedged into an apparent no win situation. Keeping Comey on and bringing all the work he has done to this point tells me where this thing is headed. They're antagonizing of Trump at every turn is guaranteeing his ire and we all know he thrives on confrontation and forced capitulation. He just called NYTimes FAKE NEWS. The writing is truly on the wall.
I've been thinking lately that this has all been carefully orchestrated for several months/years now. Comey recommending prosecution in July would have destroyed the work done around this unbelievable case, and Trump's win was always going to happen. Remember how he kept saying he was going to win so big, etc? He knew.
Maybe that's just my fantasy, but I have a feeling some massive cogs are in the works here.
