with both harry reid and hillary clinton voicing extreme accusations of violating federal law against fbi director comey<u+2019>s decision to be transparent about his investigation into clinton<u+2019>s emails, it appears president obama is having none of it. as white house spokesman josh earnest stated: <u+201c>president obama doesn<u+2019>t think comey is trying to influence the election.<u+201d> 




senate minority leader harry reid claiming comey may have violated federal law<u+2026> 




<u+201c>i am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the hatch act,<u+201d> reid wrote in a letter to comey, according to the wall street journal. 




the hatch act prohibits government officials from using their positions to influence an election. 




<u+201c>through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>when republicans filibustered your nomination and delayed your confirmation longer than any previous nominee to your position, i led the fight to get you confirmed because i believed you to be a principled public servant,<u+201d> reid wrote. 




<u+201c>with the deepest regret, i now see that i was wrong.<u+201d> 




but, president obama has now crushed that narrative: 




john earnest explains: 




<u+201c>president obama doesn<u+2019>t think comey tried to influence the election.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>obama still believes comey has <u+201c>good character<u+201d><u+201d> 




<u+201c>obama has a lot of confidence in ag loretta lynch<u+201d> 




which, roughly translated into images is this<u+2026> 









furthermore, as we noted last night , harry reid had suggested that <u+201d> talked w/ top natsec officials who say that comey <u+201c>possesses explosive information<u+201d> about trump<u+2019>s ties to russia.<u+201d> 




that has also been completely rebuffed as the white house says it <u+201c>has not been briefed on the existence of any fbi investigation on activities, habts of donald trump.<u+201d> 




so more lies?!
