The day after the Director of the FBI claimed that Hillary Clinton received classified emails on her personal email server before concluding that she violated no laws and would face no charges, a State Department spokesman contradicted him, stating that the emails in question had been improperly marked to begin with and therefore she did nothing wrong (something we reported last night). This morning, as the Director was being interrogated by House Republicans over his findings, one of the Democrats on the committee pointed out the discrepancy. This prompted him to revise his stance on the matter.
Even as the Republicans spent the day suggesting to FBI Director James Comeys face that he either failed to properly look into Hillary Clintons use of email or outright rigged the matter in her favor, he confidently shot down their conspiracies one after another, likely causing them to regret having hauled him in to begin with. But it was a House Democrat who finally asked Comey about the new State Department assertion that the emails in question were improperly marked.
The FBI Director responded by revising and clarifying his assessment, acknowledging that of the three email in question (originally reported as two emails by the New York Times), there were errors their classification markings which had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton and therefore could not have been her fault. This came as he also made that clear Clinton voluntarily cooperated with every aspect of the inquiry, and that to the best of his knowledge, she was truthful throughout the matter.
And now suddenly it appears that the House Republicans have grossly overplayed what hadnt been much of a hand to begin with. Rather than giving the Director a stage for repeating and amplifying his personal criticisms of Hillary Clinton, they instead challenged his integrity, effectively forcing him to defend her character and behavior while defending his own. MSNBC has more details on the classification non-issue.
Whoa....this is getting ridiculous. Please, Wiki, release your documents!!!
FBI - completely disgraced
Comey knows 90% of voters have not a clue about any of this. As he whistles through the graveyard.
Why hasnt anyone brought up the fact when she was busted to have all the fbi files in the basement of the white house? Maybe there was one on comey?
it’s called BIN for a reason!
How many times has he changed his story?
A major advantage of telling the truth as opposed to lying is that there are no stories to keep straight.
Plus, you don't have to remember your previous lies.
sorry..... just another LIE
by the traitors in STATE
it is the originating AGENCY THAT CLASSIFIES THE MATERIAL...
not the recipient or intermediary handler...
MORE LIES
MORE DELAY
both the Nat geospatial intel agency and the CIA said that way above AND beyond top secret was compromised and on her server
as well as sources and methods and assets
including one iranian who has been revealed, tried and murdered in iran...
thank you hillary.... another notch in your belt of dead folks....
THEN WHY SO MANY REDACTIONS, COMEY?
99% of all classified information is BORN CLASSIFIED. Rinse and repeat, "BORN CLASSIFIED"!!!!
I wonder if they discussed Fort Marcy Park? 😆
Discussed it??
They took him on a freaking tour!
He got the message.
Go to the link. The piece was published in July,
Comey, just shut up and move along to your next partisan coverup. We get it, ok?
OK then, what system was that? I thought you didn’t have an official government email address.
Comey belongs in prison for obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence to name but a few crimes he has committed on behalf of Hillary (and Bill) Clinton.
Federal Bureau of Idiots (and selective prosecution). Can you say “compromised?
Was he lying then or is he lying now?
An average clown is much more believable than
the proven HSBC-ClintonFoundation Czar-liar
running the FIB (aka FBI).
How many witnesses have crooked Comey and Lynch
had murdered THIS month?
