Did FBI agents deliberately cheat Hillary out of the presidency? [View all]

Daily Kos
December 15, 2016


We already know that the events that led up to FBI Director James Comey's infamous letter to Congress were tinged with gross incompetence at best. After all, the agents who got their hands on the emails that supposedly triggered that letter knew about them in early October, and yet waited 24 days to tell Comey they needed a warrant.

But a former public defender and HuffPo columnist thinks it was far more than incompetence.
Based on the time-line, he suspects that an anti-Hillary element in the FBI engaged in a criminal conspiracy to wreck Hillary's campaign in the final weeks of the election.

Seth Abramson, an English professor at the University of New Hampshire, is also a practicing attorney -- he was a public defender in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts before going into academia.
So, naturally, he got suspicious when he learned about the 24-day delay between the time the agents learned about the emails and when they alerted Comey.
