he's talking about when Comey made the announcement in October 2016 (right before the election) that he was re-opening the investigation into Hillary's use of a private email server.

James Comey went out of his way to get Trump elected the first time.

Of course he is but Who clearly has no idea of the lengths that Comey went through to benefit Hillary. See below.Animal wrote:he's talking about when Comey made the announcement in October 2016 (right before the election) that he was re-opening the investigation into Hillary's use of a private email server.

Fuck off, Ricky and eat a dick. Who's statement is patently ridiculous to anyone that followed that "investigation" and I gave a response worthy of his dipshitedness.
Comey helped Clinton way more than he helped Trump and he certainly didn't "go out of his way to get Trump elected."
Below are key examples, drawn from official FBI statements, investigations, and analyses. These focus on substantiated actions that avoided prosecution or minimized political fallout for Clinton.1. Recommending No Criminal Charges in July 2016On July 5, 2016, Comey publicly announced the FBI's conclusion that Clinton and her aides were "extremely careless" in handling classified information but recommended no charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ). He stated there was no evidence of criminal intent, the historical threshold for prosecution, effectively clearing her despite finding over 110 emails with classified material.
How it helped Clinton: This decision ended the active probe months before the election, preventing indictments that could have derailed her campaign. Analyses, including from FiveThirtyEight, note it initially boosted her polling by stabilizing the narrative around the scandal. Without this, legal proceedings might have unfolded during the primaries or general election.
Context: Comey bypassed typical DOJ protocol by making the announcement himself, after Attorney General Loretta Lynch deferred to the FBI following her controversial tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton.
2. Closing the Investigation on November 6, 2016 (Two Days Before Election Day)After reopening the probe on October 28 due to newly discovered emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop, Comey sent a follow-up letter to Congress on November 6 stating the FBI had reviewed the materials and found no basis to alter its July recommendation—no new charges.
How it helped Clinton: This late clarification neutralized the damage from the October letter, which polls showed had eroded her lead in battleground states. Early voting was already underway, and the announcement helped Clinton regain momentum in the final days, though not enough to offset prior losses. Econometric studies, such as one in Social Science Quarterly, confirm the initial letter hurt her odds, but the closure mitigated some impact.
Context: The FBI reviewed ~650,000 emails in under two weeks, concluding none warranted prosecution, aligning with Comey's view that the case lacked prosecutable evidence.
3. Limiting the Investigation's Scope to Avoid Deeper ScrutinyThe DOJ Inspector General's 2018 report found Comey's team imposed self-restrictions on the probe, such as not subpoenaing additional devices or interviewing key figures more aggressively, to wrap it up pre-election. They also declined to pursue evidence of potential obstruction (e.g., deleted emails) due to perceived low value.
How it helped Clinton: By narrowing focus to intent rather than broader mishandling, the FBI avoided escalating to charges for obstruction or server destruction. This kept the investigation from becoming a prolonged threat, allowing Clinton to pivot to other campaign issues.
Context: Comey later reflected in his book A Higher Loyalty that these limits stemmed from a desire for speed and fairness, but critics argue it favored Clinton by not fully exploring leads.
4. Publicly Defending the Investigation's Integrity Post-ElectionIn congressional testimony and interviews (e.g., 2017-2018), Comey reiterated that the probe was merit-based, with no political bias, and that Clinton's actions, while careless, did not meet criminal standards. He dismissed conspiracy theories, like false claims of Clinton bribing him via the Clinton Foundation.
How it helped Clinton: This bolstered her post-2016 narrative that the email saga was overblown, aiding her in book tours and public defenses (e.g., What Happened?). Fact-checks, such as Snopes, debunked ties to Clinton donations, protecting her from further smears.
Context: Comey's transparency, though controversial, reinforced the "no charges" outcome, reducing calls for special prosecutors.
These examples highlight Comey's role in de-escalating legal risks for Clinton, though his overall handling remains polarizing—credited by some for impartiality, blamed by others (including Clinton) for election interference. For deeper reading, see the FBI's official statements or the DOJ OIG report.
