We the people ask the federal government to Change an existing Administration policy:

For POTUS to ask for FBI Director J. Comey's resignation and investigate him for possible Hatch Act violations

Created by C.R. on November 15, 2016

This petition calls for the immediate resignation of FBI Director James Comey and for POTUS to direct the justice department to investigate his actions.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) office has determined that Comey MAY have violated the Hatch Act - which prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government (except certain designated high-level officials), from engaging in some forms of political activity.

His decision to release the letter less than 2 weeks from election day may have been a political strategy designed to sway the vote of the American people. This is prohibited. The letter was vague, just enough to cause damage to the Democratic candidate. A followup letter JUST 2 days before the election cleared the controversy.
