Comey’s anti-Trump and pro-Hillary bias in 2016 clear from new developments – Why was the Russia probe begun?

OPINION - By John Yoo | Fox News






In the Watergate scandal that ultimately forced him to resign from office, President Nixon tried to use the CIA and FBI to target his political enemies and to carry out dirty tricks to help him win re-election in 1972.

In another example of an abuse of power, long-serving FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover – who held the post from 1924 to 1972 – used the bureau to gather dirt on elected officials, political candidates and other public figures and exert influence over them.
