Appearing on MSNBC, Friday, the liberal Ana Marie Cox sneered that the only reason the FBI has renewed its interest in Hillary Clinton is because the department is “largely male and largely white.” She also blasted Donald Trump as a "psychopathic bigot." Additionally, former Newsweek senior editor Howard Fineman dismissed James Comey’s actions recently as at least partly to “cover his rear politically.”

Cox, now the senior political correspondent for MTV News, slimed the FBI as full of bigots: “One reason why the FBI might be so pro-Trump is that it looks like Trump. because its largely male and largely white.” She hissed that “those are the people that go for Trump in general.”

Cox assailed, “Women and people of color are going to save this nation basically because we're immune to the call of this, you know, schizophrenic, psychopath bigot.”

Regarding reports that agents within the FBI are looking at the Clinton Foundation and attempting to alert people about possible Clinton crimes, the journalist mused, “I think it's an interesting question to ask if the FBI were a more diverse place, would Comey have been facing this insurrection?”

Repeating her thesis, Cox theorized, “I also think that if you point that kind of thing out, that the FBI is largely white and male and largely male and therefor kind of pro-Trump, I mean, that is Hillary's argument in general.”

Fineman, now with the Huffington Post, dismissed:

HOWARD FINEMAN: He was facing insurrection, I think, within his agency and I think one of his motivating factors in addition to covering his rear politically with angry Republicans was that if he was afraid that if didn't disclose to leaders in Congress this new look at these e-mails on the famous Abedin/Weiner laptop, that it was going to get leaked out of the department and he would be looked like he was participating in a cover-up.
