Where's the FBI ?

First, we hear that some hackers, probably Russians, have hacked into the DNC website. Then, we hear that they have also hacked into the DCCC, Now, we hear that they have hacked into the Hillary for President website? What's going on?

If they can shut down the means to communication, then they are capable of shutting down the entire campaign. If you cannot talk to each other, for fear of being hacked, then your campaign is at a huge disadvantage.

Can the FBI Director be trusted to investigate this crime? And that is what it is - it is a crime.

Whomever is hacking the Democratic Party websites, they seem to favor the Republicans and Donald Trump in the race for the White House. It appears that way.

I cannot help but think that Manafort and Trump are capable of such tricks, with a little outside volunteer help?

The Democrats maybe should post something confidential about their campaign (just made up) and see how long it would take for the Republicans to get their hands on the information?

I do not trust them.

I imagine they cannot say much until they can draw conclusions, and if those conclusions point to outside the country, I would imagine they'll talk to the SoS and President as well as other top cabinet members.

It would seem, to me, that it would be hush hush until they have the definite evidence.

He does not appear to be impartial. But I doubt if he is looking forward to a Trump administration either.

This story has so much exposure, I would think that Congressional pressure should move the investigation forward.

Including President Obama, who appointed him. Do you have some info that the president doesn't that indicates Comey isn't trustworthy?

By then, the election will be decided; and whatever damage there is, will have been done.
