Clinton declines to say whether she’d ask Comey to resign

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Thursday would not say if she would ask FBI Director James Comey to resign if she is elected president, saying she would not comment on any “personnel issue.”

{mosads}In a radio interview on “Joe Madison, the Black Eagle,” Clinton was asked what she would do in her first hundred days in office and if she would ask for Comey’s resignation as part of her administration’s first series of actions.

“Well, let me answer the second question first, Joe,” she responded. “I’m not going to either get ahead of myself by assuming I’ll be fortunate enough to be elected. That’s really up to you and your listeners. People have to turn out or nothing that I’ll be proposing will come into reality, but I also would never comment on any kind of personnel issue.”

Clinton and her campaign surrogates have gone on the offensive against Comey in the days since the FBI director sent a letter to Congress informing lawmakers that the bureau was reviewing emails related to its investigation into the private email server Clinton used while secretary of State.

Comey has drawn the wrath of Democrats who have accused him of effectively putting his thumb on the scale of the election by not being more forthcoming and allowing Republicans like presidential nominee Donald Trump to ramp up speculation about the content of the emails.
