    The truth behind the act we could never understand
    This movie is done very well, especially for a news junkie like me. But most importantly and really the only reason to review this movie is the fact that I never knew, until now, why Comey did it. Why he thrust a hand grenade into the gears of the democratic (HC) machine. As many did, I HATED Comey for not just once damning Clinton, but TWICE; the second of which there was no coming back from. Watching this movie and seeing what went on behind the scenes that ultimately forced Comey to do what he did, I get it now. What a horrible awful impossible situation to be in. And although I voted for her, I'm afraid HC has no one to blame but herself.
