If editorial correction isn't the case then the author's statement makes no sense. --
While editorial license may be in play for the offered quote, the nonsense narrative is the same in all the articles on this subject. That is to say, they all agree on certain facts.
- Comey received intelligence information
- That intelligence is a Russian communication citing communication between Lynch and the DNC
- the upshot of the Lynch/DNC communication is that Hillary need not worry about criminal prosecution for having classified material on her private server, Lynch will see to it
From there, the stories diverge, but in ways that are to me, bizarre. Senator Graham's remarks suggest Comey did the right thing, scuttling the prosecution, if the intelligence was reliable, but did the wrong thing if the intelligence is unreliable. Huh?
I've read maybe 10 stories on this subject, and none of them makes sense of the agreed underlying facts.
I'm not saying the facts are true either, only that those are the offered facts, and generally used to exonerate Comey for usurping the prosecutor's function and publicizing investigatory findings. Maybe the whole thing is nonsense on top of fiction.
WRT the drive-bys obsessive compulsive disorder ----- knee-jerk responses to every and all anti-Trump rumblings------ Conrad Black got off the best line, to date:
"CNN exhumed Carl Bernstein, flaccid but imperishable, to try to lend credibility to this fatuous story ........."
I guess the Eternal President---Obama----was too busy keeping track of his vast "federal inheritance" to be of any use to CNN.
