6. Comey held a press conference that violated DOJ rules and helped to elect trump
Sat Sep 27, 2025, 05:47 PM

Comey was an asshole and attacked Hillary Clinton when he announced that there would be no charges on the email issue. Under DOJ rules, when the decision not to proceed is made, there is NO announcement. Comey was an asshole and held a press conference where he attacked Clinton.

This press conference was so offensive and against DOJ policy that the DOJ inspector general called Comey out.

The DOJ's inspector general agreed that Comey "violated long-standing Department practice and protocol by, among other things, criticizing Clinton’s uncharged conduct," and that Comey "usurped the authority of the Attorney General." https://oig.justice.gov/node/640
