FBI Director's 'Pants On Fire' ?

[Aho Old Guy]

Comey misstated key Clinton email evidence at Monday hearing

...
“Somehow, her emails were being forwarded to Anthony Weiner, including classified information,’’ Comey said, adding later, “His then-spouse Huma Abedin appears to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to him for him I think to print out for her so she could then deliver them to the secretary of state.”

At another point in the testimony, Comey said Abedin “forwarded hundreds and thousands of e-mails, some of which contain classified information.’’

Neither of those statements are accurate, according to people close to the investigation. The investigation found that Abedin did occasionally forward emails to her husband for printing, but it was a far smaller number than described by Comey, and it wasn’t a “regular practice,’’ these people said. None of the forwarded emails were marked classified but a small number - a handful, one person said - contained information that was later judged to contain classified information, these people said.

Justice Department and FBI officials are now considering whether and how to clarify the misstatements ...

My guess is the Director was too busy investigating Russian efforts to influence the 2016 Presidential election (yeah ... that must be it) and any of those FAKE connections to our Dear Leader to be bothered with such Clinton nonsense.

The FBI is the GREATEST! We must respect their authority ...

Doesn't matter. When you receive a security clearance, and work in the gov't you sign documents, NDAs, etc.. that all say you understand that information is need to know. Furthermore, you are expected to recognize that information, classified properly or not, may be confidential. If you can't get the little things right...how can we expect you to get the big things right?

None of this happens if Clinton uses a .gov account like the rest of us

That would be better than hiding from public oversight.

YES!
That Chicken Hillary could never withstand an 11 hour grilling from a disingenuous opposition whose intent was simply to "drive down poll numbers"

Cankles next scheme was to utilize a national party server for tens of millions of 'FOIA' emails while 'accidentally' losing millions along the way ...

The Benghazi hearings drove down her numbers for this reason alone:



I LOVE that photo. When she smirked and tried her best to look like she had better things to do I thought to myself that she was going to have serious issues in the election.

If it was solely the intention of the GOP to drive down her numbers, she played right into their hands. It's like she was trying to help them

I don't think the Benghazi hearings hurt Clinton all that much. In fact I think those hearings may have hurt the Republicans as well because I think they were perceived by a lot of people as going on yet another witch hunt. I remember looking at public opinion polling while all that was going on and Clinton was still getting high ratings in terms of being trustworthy. At the time I was incredulous.

I think what killed her was that private e mail server thing that led to FBI investigation. We can never know but I will always think that if she'd never made the decision to use that private server and just used .gov e mail she'd be President right now and it would not have been close if it'd come down to her or Trump.

I think Benghazi fired up people who, for the most part, were never going to vote for her anyway. I think the private server thing did actually cost her a substantial number of votes.

She lost because she was arrogant, preachy, fake, humorless, and generally unlikeable. Far more than Benghazi or emails.

I agree, people trying to peg this to one thing or another miss the bigger picture - the electorate in enough places to matter in the electoral vote (i.e. the way we elect Presidents) were pissed off at the status quo and the same old politicians who delivered the status quo and Hillary was the quintessential status quo candidate. It's really that simple.

Its hurting them now - they have a harder time playing the witch hunt card without causing convulsions of laughter nationwide after their histrionics over Benghazi. Bunch of pussy snowflakes.
