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.
A quick search brought me here, the Daily News Bin is not listed, but is obviously fake. And a few on the “click bait” list have some okay stuff but most are pretty bad, imho.
Faster, you’re nothing but a troll my friend. If you even go to that website and read both the Articles and the responses you would quickly find that that place is no better than dailykos or DU.
One more thing, how come this reversal by Comey back on July 7th that is 2 months ago never made the news? He has come forward since the and reiterated that Hillary Clinton mishandled top secret, secret? and confidential messages.
Comey is a shill for the Democrats. He proved his bias releasing his report late on Friday on Labor Day weekend. He proved he is not credible on anything. Another turncoat like Justice Roberts. We can no longer believe a single thing Comey says. I dont know if he is being blackmailed, threatentened, or is just fearful of losing his position, but it is crystal clear he is behaving fapvorably toward Hillary and the Democrats despite the avalanche of factual evidence.
If she didn’t have a gov’t email, she is either lying or she is the 1st SOS to serve without sending or receiving classified material.
Musta been hell in the winters with the windows open for the smoke signals.
This is from July 7. There’s been a lot of additional revelations since then that make this nonsensical.
Comey needs to resign. He surrendered ALL of his credibility saving Clintoon’s @$$. He can’t be believed anymore. He’s a liar.
The age of the article was a given in my first comment. Was surprised it was not mentioned at all on FR at first, with the Daily News Bin being such a credible source. /s
Is that five years in prison?
You can see why everyone and everything in the US is being hacked when the FBI is run by an Idiot
Ah, another visit from one of the Clinton fixers.
Nothing classified either at the time, or now, so why so much as a single redaction?
It's all yoga routines and Chelsea wedding plans, so if Comey is as good as his word, there should be nothing but *plenty* of these innocuous documents.
ummm...the “author” of this article is Fester Chugabrew...I think we can safely call this satire.
What does Comey know I don't? He does not have a job under President Trump.
Were they the same emails that only contained the third paragraph marked with a [C]?
