democratic senate leader harry reid just sent a scathing open letter to fbi director james comey, calling him out for smearing democratic nominee hillary clinton while hiding a sinister truth about donald trump that the public deserves to know. in it, he accuses the controversial fbi director of sitting on secret <u+201c>explosive<u+201d> intelligence information about the republican presidential campaign<u+2019>s coordination with russian strongman vladimir putin. reid wrote : 




the double standard established by your actions is clear. 




in my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between donald trump, his top advisors, and the russian government <u+2013> a foreign interest openly hostile to the united states, which trump praises at every opportunity. the public has a right to know this information. i wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. there is no danger to american interests from releasing it. and yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information. 




by contrast, as soon as you came into possession of the slightest innuendo related to secretary clinton, you rushed to publicize it in the most negative light possible. moreover, in tarring secretary clinton with thin innuendo, you overruled longstanding tradition and the explicit guidance of your own department. 




you rushed to take this step eleven days before a presidential election, despite the fact that for all you know, the information you possess could be entirely duplicative of the information you already examined which exonerated secretary clinton. 




senator reid continued by notifying comey of violating the hatch act, whic forbids federal employees from engaging in partisan acts. even further, reid said that he regretted helping president obama break a long republican filibuster of his nomination to head the fbi just three short years ago. 




it<u+2019>s not surprising that there is a tangible link between putin and trump, especially after an interview of the republican claiming he has a relationship with the russian dictator was unearthed by the democratic coalition against trump and authenticated by msnbc host thomas a. roberts this week . 




which begs the question, what is the republican party<u+2019>s standard bearer hiding regarding his dealings with vladimir putin? related items:
