For the vote I don’t know. For the rule of law all pretense of fairness is trashed. Respect has been replaced with contempt. No big deal for democrat voters but for republicans it is new and the consequences of a stolen election we can only wait and see.
I know Trump and his supporters feel that way. As usual, the right chooses the wrong thing to get hysterical about. In reality, in this particular case, there is no evidence that Clinton broke any laws in existence when she was at State. No Federal, state or local laws were broken by Clinton that we know of. Comey knows this. The next thing needed to indict her would have been to prove she intentionally sought to expose “state secrets.” Intention is paramount.
Again, Comey, after endless investigation, egged on by GOP witch-hunters, determined no intent was found. Nor would it make any sense for it to exist.
So, Comey did the right thing in his first public statement, but went waaay too far. He should have just said there is zero evidence she broke the law. Instead, he helped Trump and the GOP by editorializing about her carelessness and negligence. And, yes, she was all of that. And more. Stupid about IT, arrogant, careless, etc. etc. But those aren’t crimes, and it’s not the job of the FBI director to editorialize about any of it.
He then aided Trump and the GOP again by defying his boss and decades of protocol to go public about newly found emails, none of which they had actually read yet. This gave a slumping Trump, who was down by double-digits in the polls, a chance to close that gap.
This past Sunday Comey made it self-evident that he was wrong to go public the second time. But the damage was done. He had already helped your candidate tremendously, without merit, and by going against decades of protocol. Contrary to Trump’s whining, no one is rigging anything against him, except himself.
