No way Obama will, and obviously neither would Clinton when she is elected.
The only way to get rid of him is for him to resign.

In theory, they serve ten-year terms unless they resign, die, or are removed, but in reality, since J. Edgar Hoover, none have served a full ten years, except Robert Mueller, who served twelve years.

He should have zero credibility, but HillaryHaters on both sides will give him the credibility just as long as it attacks Hillary Clinton and weakens the Democratic Party in the hope for a Republican White House and Congress.

Instead of simply saying no criminal conduct - by anyone! - found in investigation and ending it there - Comey just had to take it to another level where the speculation and innuendo could go continue.

He gave us the unreasonable prosecution he said he didn't want to recommend.

If we buy what he's selling, that is.
