Team Clinton Was Happy for Comey to Break ‘Protocol’ When They Benefitted
The Clintons put James Comey in an ugly situation and then blamed him for it.

The word of the weekend was “protocol.”
In deciding to tell Congress about a new trove of e-mails that may or may not contain classified information and may or may not relate to Hillary Clinton, FBI director James Comey broke Justice Department protocol both by releasing information close to an election and by revealing details of an ongoing investigation. It was a “stunning breach of protocol,” former attorney general Eric Holder dutifully insisted.
Tim Kaine invoked protocol more than a half-dozen times Sunday in his interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “It is just extremely puzzling,” the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said. “Why would you break these two protocols?”
“Puzzled” was the runner-up word of the weekend; Kaine used it repeatedly, as did Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook. “We are so puzzled right now,” Mook told NBC’s Chuck Todd.
