What makes you think they are partisan?
Put yourself in Comey's shoes. He had the option to A) Wait till after the election to disclose the information and get flamed by Republicans, or B) Notify Congress immediately and get flamed by Democrats.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
He chose transparency, which is commendable and the moral choice. Hillary can flame away, but ultimately this is her mess.

I love how Trump supporters want Hillary in prison for using a private server (which others had done), which supposedly created a privacy risk (but no evidence of any negative consequence), but they have no problem with Russians (or others) hacking into people's private email and making those emails public.
But, that is par for the course for Trump - ignore the truth, just give the idiot masses what they want to hear. It's funny stuff to watch.
THE RUSSIANS!! THE RUSSIANS!! LOLOL
Everyone's view on the FBI here seems based on their personal politics.
I wonder how an unbiased view sees this.
I'm biased so I cannot comment.

I didn't realize how much Dem voters have bought into the Russian conspiracy theory until my boss brought it up this morning. He sounded like a right-wing nut job.... just on the other side of the aisle.

The Brazile scandal is bad. It amazes me that CNN hasn't announced they are doing an independent investigation into the issue.
A candidate for the president was fed debate questions by one of CNN's employees and CNN says they are blameless. Imagine the outrage if it came out that questions in the Hillary vs Trump debate were being given to Trump.
Here, Here, my dear chap.
Paul Waldman's column in the Washington Post sheds son light on this. Comey has apparently lost control of the Bureau, and the tail appears to be wagging the dog.
I used to work with a former FBI agent who left to become an attorney. The heart of the FBI is ultra conservative, and this goes back decades. COINTELPRO was the nadir of FBI political activism. The shock over the Church commission and realization that the FBI was actively working to infiltrate subvert left wing activism pushed down political meddling by the agency for a while. But the ultraconservative heart of the agency has not been able to resist the urge to become political. After 9/11, the FBI used terrorism as a pretext to take action against anti-globalization and environmental groups. The FBI also tracked anti-war protesters and the Occupy movement.
The FBI hates serving under Democratic administrations. They see the Democratic leadership in the US AG's office as being soft on crime and making their lives miserable. The FBI comes after Democrats hard on everything and everything. But they then tread lightly with Republicans. Jack Abramoff should have taken down about half of the Republicans in congress. Instead, only a bunch of staffers and one House rep got indicted.
The Clinton email scandal has been a political witch hunt from the beginning. The FBI finally had to admit it after coming up with nothing in their investigation. But Comey and the FBI found a pretext to jump back in when they found more emails in the Weiner investigation. The mere existence of more emails did not in and of itself merit re-opening the investigation. They had already been through hundreds of thousands of emails and found nothing. But Comey new that he could throw a wrench in the Clinton campaign while claiming "transparency" by re-opening an investigation that had already been a complete failure.

What a bunch of crap you spew as usual. Hillary deserves to be in prison. The only partisans in this scenario are Loretta Lynch and Obama and those in the DOJ who have stymied this investigation from the start.
Yeah, that is long-winded garbage.
Hey PR, selling your political ambitions to foreign countries that are the largest human-rights violators in the world, is borderline evil. That is just the tip of the iceberg... no need to continue, though. Your cognitive dissonance won't allow for sane logic, anyway.

Former FBI agents Strzok and Page found your post so ridiculous that they snorted milk out their noses onto the voodoo doll of Trump they were torturing.
