FBI Director revises stance, says none of Hillary Clinton’s emails were classified at the time
The Daily News Bin ^ | July 7, 2016 | Bill Palmer

Posted on 09/08/2016 11:14:14 AM PDT by Fester Chugabrew

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 Comey’s face that he either failed to properly look into Hillary Clinton’s 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 hadn’t 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.

Comey knows 90% of voters have not a clue about any of this. As he whistles through the graveyard.

So now the various agencies can’t even keep their stories straight.

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.

Fully cooperative?

Really?

She would not speak to the FBI without assurances there would be no re or ding devices of any kind, and no transcription, and she would not be put under oath.

Bleachbit is being cooperative?

Here's one none of them will speak about - Hillary used unencrypted devices against every State and DOD policy, and then the unencrypted hardware went missing. And she was made aware that she was violating policy and risking National Security.

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.

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?
