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 agree. David Clarke should be the next FBI head.

Hmmm Comey pull a fast one on HILL-BILLY? We can only hope!”

Actually he did. By not advancing any indictments he took the pardon out of Obama’s hands while at the same time destroying Clinton.

Comey goes with a recommendation for indictment and Obama pardons her. It was a great play.

David Codrea calls him “Bloody Hands Cummings” for his involvement in giving Obama and Clinton a pass on Fast and Furious and the Benghazi massacre.

Blaming Comey for Hillary’s loss is like sitting in a bar all night getting loaded, then blaming your DUI on the cop who pulled you over on the way home.

What a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies! Trump needs to name his replacement and put it out there.

MAYBE it just happened because all her emails were on the same computer used by a sexual predator who was sexting up a 15 year old.

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

No. It just means Comey couldn't create enough evidence of Russian hacking out of thin air to satisfy them. I'm sure he tried his best, but there is no honor amongst these thieves.
