14. Correction: Comey OVERRULED the black woman that was his superior.

Yet, right before the election -- AGAIN breaking DOJ/FBI policy and precedent -- he cowered to his subordinates who threatened to leak to the press news that would hurt Hillary politically but not do one damn thing to change the outcome of their investigation.

Let's not whitewash what Comey did. Without Comey's unprecedented actions, there would be no Trump.
