AP Photo Clinton won't say if she'd ask for Comey resignation if elected

Hillary Clinton wouldn’t say Thursday whether she would ask for FBI Director James Comey’s resignation if she were elected president.

“I’m not going to, you know, either get ahead of myself by assuming I’ll be fortunate enough to be elected,” Clinton said Thursday morning during a radio interview with Joe Madison on Sirius XM’s UrbanView. “That’s really up to you and your listeners. People have to turn out or nothing that I’m going to be proposing will come into reality. But I also would never comment on any kind of, you know, personnel issue.”


The Democratic nominee said Saturday it was “pretty strange” and “deeply troubling” for Comey to have written a cryptic letter to congressional chairs Friday informing them that the bureau would be reviewing new emails that might be related to its investigation into Clinton’s private email server as secretary of state.

Her campaign has taken a much harsher position, though, accusing the FBI chief of a double standard for potentially damaging Clinton’s campaign 11 days before Election Day, yet arguing against the U.S. publicly accusing Russia of meddling in the U.S. election with a series of hacks.

Clinton also predicted in her interview that voters would “be really upset about” what will happen in America if enough voters don’t turn out — “on Nov. 9,” she said before correcting herself shortly after — and Donald Trump is elected president.

“If folks don’t turn out and vote on Nov. 9, we’re gonna be really upset about what’s gonna happen in our country,” she told Madison. “So please, everybody, if you can, vote early. Otherwise, be sure to come out next Tuesday, Nov. 8.”
