it is almost certain that the united states office of special counsel (osc) has opened an investigation into fbi director james comey over his questionable decision to reignite the hillary clinton email scandal just a week before the election. 




the osc is a permanent independent federal investigative and prosecution agency that acts as an internal watchdog for federal employees. while the osc refuses to confirm the truth, they always look in to inquiries. 




<u+201c>it<u+2019>s osc<u+2019>s longstanding policy not to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation in general, osc opens a case after receiving a complaint.<u+201d> the complaint was made by richard painter, a former white house ethics lawyer. 




<u+201c>the f.b.i.<u+2019>s job is to investigate, not to influence the outcome of an election. such acts could also be prohibited under the hatch act, which bars the use of an official position to influence an election. that is why the f.b.i. presumably would keep those aspects of an investigation confidential until after the election<u+201d> he wrote in the new york times. 




if found guilty, osc investigations usually lead to a rapid loss of employment. 




director comey certainly deserves to lose his job after throwing a wrench into the election, bowing to pressure from house republicans and releasing an unnecessary and extremely misleading <u+201c>update<u+201d> on the new emails discovered in anthony weiner<u+2019>s cellphone that have nothing to do hillary clinton, her email server, or the election at large <u+2013> all the while refusing to release the results of their likely inquiries into republican nominee donald trump<u+2019>s relationship with russian dictator vladimir putin.
