Irony alert! What's Paul Krugman trying to say about the election with this James Comey slam?

FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email would continue in light of new information.

Going to be fun watching people who said "rigging" talk was an attack on our democracy now attack the integrity of the FBI.

As we reported earlier, Paul Krugman was among the lefties who thought the FBI director’s decision and how it was handled was “shameful.” Krugman also added this:

If we don't hear more from Comey, we just have to conclude that he was trying to swing election. And *that* should be the story.

Is that so? In other words:

are you suggesting core American government functions may be "rigged" to favor an electoral outcome? @paulkrugman
