Dems 'outraged' with Comey after House briefing

A number of House Democrats left Friday's confidential briefing on Russian hacking fuming over the actions of FBI Director James Comey and convinced he's unfit to lead the agency.

"I was nonjudgmental until the last 15 minutes. I no longer have that confidence in him," Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), ranking member of the Veterans Affairs Committee, said as he left the meeting in the Capitol.

"Some of the things that were revealed in this classified briefing — my confidence has been shook."

Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, delivered a similar condemnation.

ADVERTISEMENT "I'm extremely concerned — extremely," he said.

"I'll just — I'm very angry," echoed Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.).

I am surprised. How can the Dems criticize a major legal institution of the U.S? Is that not unpatriotic? Is there not a large risk that people will leave the agency. leaving the country unprotected against criminals?

Giving him cover for an unimaginable job of obstruction of justice. He proved himself at Lockheed facilitating what Hillary is best at (hint Lincoln bedroom not sex)and covered up all the takings between working at HSBC and covering up the massive money laundering with the paltry settlement. Maybe he.s not tha Sheriff of Nottingham. He might be professor Moriarity.

If Elijah is outraged it means Comey’s doing something right.

This means that Comey either has the goods on Clinton, or doesn't have the goods on Trump.

And because it was “Classified” we will never know what was said that bothered them so much. I guess because they are Congressmen, we just have to believe them after all they are smarter than all of us.

This means that Comey isn’t on board the Obama-Hillary-Brennen-Democrat Russian Hacking Train.

“Some of the things that were revealed in this classified briefing — my confidence has been shook.”

“Shook” really? Miriam Webster defines this term as: a) set of staves and headings for one hogshead, cask, or barrel; b) a bundle of parts (as of boxes) ready to be put together.

And on another level Urban Dictionary defines it as . . .

Tim Walz (D-MN) “my confidence has been shook”. Well, even though he implied it was because of what he heard in the briefing, the fact is that he’s been shook since early November. Those poor bastards on the left have been having diarrhea over their losses for two months, and no end in sight.

I’ve heard that can cause dehydration. Hope they dry up and blow away.

Or it will leak this weekend via a congressional staffer seeking to ingratiate himself with the Washington Post.

Let us see, what makes a liberal drunk with rage, or shaken to the core. Bad stuff on Wiener's laptop... OR the publicized dirty on Trump was a hoax and Comey named names?
