When did Comey reopen the Hillary investigation in 2016? October 28th, 11 days before the 2016 election.

On left: Oct 29 2016. James Comey discovers some emails, revives inquiry into HRC email. (Later dismissed.)
On right: Aug 28 2024. A new grand jury re-indicts Trump on criminal charges of plotting to overturn 2020 election. (Look closely at bottom of page.)

Disagree. The new indictment, from a new grand jury, is a *much* more substantial development than Comey finding emails on Anthony Weiner's cell phone. (Which was the occasion for the blaring front-page coverage in 2016.)

Remember when Trump attacked the FBI for election interference when James Comey held a news conference about an investigation into Hillary Clinton days before the election ? No? Me either

For the record, I don’t think Comey intended to stumble back into the limelight just in time to grease the skids on the GOP’s ‘clouds & shadows’ allegations. He just has a bottomless need to be The Most Sterling Public Servant EVER, and a genuine gift for running his yap at the worst possible moment…

James Comey can fuck off and die forever, like a character in some Greek tragedy. Every day, for eternity, he has to wake up, fuck off, and die by the end of the day—only to wake up in the morning to do it all over again. Sometimes he wakes up in a morgue, sometimes he wakes up in a sealed coffin, other times a shallow grave or a dumpster. But every day—wake up, fuck off, die—over and over and over again.

@The Audacity of Krope: Not that it really matters because Trump lies basically all the time, but where in the country does voting start on September 6th? The earliest deadline I know of is the “mail ballots to overseas military” which is like September 20, and most states wait until then (or later) to start mailing out ballots to the general population.
Maybe someone told him about the sixty day rule, which is what September 6th would be, and he added another sixty days to that? Who the hell really knows.

The Fallows tweet that compares the front page treatment really says it all. The NYT political desk has been a disaster for America.
I remember reading that after Trump was elected, Comey’s wife and daughters berated him for sticking his big fat thumb on the scale. I hope they’ve kept at it.

+1 good for Comey to strongly endorse Harris in 2024. Too bad he earned -1000^2 for being a show-hog in 2016 tossing dirt at Clinton 8 days from election day 2016 when it really mattered, especially since the purported new trove of emails turned out to not amount to not even amount to a minuscule speck of lint. And his has-been endorsement in 2024 adds but a pebble of weight to Harris in 2024 compared to the huge boulder he let loose agains Clinton iin 2016 when he still carried considerable weight as FBI director.
And then once in office, Trump treated critical national secrets with less respect than the pages of last year’s Sears & Robuck catalogue in an outhouse. And turned out there were only 3 relatively minor classified docs in the-original or Comey troves.

There was a town hall style debate between Poppy Bush and Bill Clinton. Audience members were allowed to submit questions and if chosen got to ask the candidates themselves. I can’t remember if it was a man or woman but I remember the question: do you know anyone personally who has been affected by the recession? Poppy literally said, “I don’t understand the question”. He did manage to burp something out after the question was repeated. Big Dog was wriggling and bouncing up and down like a puppy he was so eager to answer. He practically ran over Bush getting in front of the questioner. He rattled off the names of 5-6 examples right at the tip of his tongue of friends and constituents who’d lost their jobs, business, farms, homes, and life savings. Every detail. It was a master class in incinerating your debate opponent.
I sat there in amazement knowing that I was looking at the next President. One question from a real voter and Poppy was done.
I didn’t think about it at the time, but I’ll bet the moderator remembers that question too and is still seriously pissed he wasn’t the one who got to ask the gotcha question of that election.

@geg6: I just realized that I don’t find him attractive because he reminds me of Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street.
I’ve had very mixed feelings on him as governor. He’s been very good on some issues I care about, but he’s also tried to tack right on others in ways that have ranged from annoying to infuriating, especially since I don’t think he could win a national election as the former Governor of California. He’s not actually a far-left progressive, but he’ll be painted that way, so doubling down on bullshit like sending the cops to clear out the homeless encampments isn’t going to help.
PatD
@Darkrose: Newsom is an odious politician. I do wonder about the homeless crisis though. Have we become inured to it? The homeless encampments just seem to getting bigger and more prevalent over time.
Darkrose
@PatD: In California, it’s because there’s no affordable housing in urban areas. It’s pretty much impossible to live in San Francisco or LA. Even Sacramento has gotten insanely expensive in the 20 years I’ve been here. The removal of the post-COVID eviction pause hit hard as well, especially since a lot of landlords (like mine) took the opportunity to jack rents up. And forget about buying a place; that’s a pipe dream for most people.
The problem is a combination of NIMBYism limiting stocks of affordable housing, and speculative bubbles and things like Air BnB prioritizing luxury housing over places people can actually live in. Instead of actually dealing with that, though, it’s easier to just bust up the encampments so people don’t have to actually see that there’s a problem.
