Following the recent discovery of e-mails, possibly pertinent to the Hillary Clinton private server investigation on a device belonging to Anthony Weiner, FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress Friday to inform them. Beyond the waves that the letter created, it appears to have left NBC’s reporter and Clinton super-fan Andrea Mitchell absolutely distraught over when this means for her candidates’ campaign. “This is just the worst possible situation for the FBI, for the country, for Hillary Clinton certainly,” Mitchell exclaimed during Meet the Press on Sunday.
Mitchell praised Clinton for going “nuclear” on the FBI director as a way to rally her base of supporters. “She's really now taking this to Comey. And they made a deliberate decision to do this,” Mitchell touted.
She fretted for a future President Clinton who would have to work with Comey, since the term for an FBI director is 10 years. “That is a very hostile situation and a dangerous situation,” she rambled erratically to the rest of the Meet the Press panel with no explanation. “Let me just also point out, John Kerry the Secretary of State, of course in Ireland today, said he has not been notified nor has the State Department,” she scolded Comey, “In other words, Comey did not know what these e-mails were or whether they were work-related.”
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell Is Distraught over Comey Letter to Congress It seemed as though she could barely contain herself as she whined about how Donald Trump was slamming Clinton with the revelations. “I mean the fact is, that Donald Trump was in New Hampshire, took the stage minutes after this letter came out and said, ‘illegal,’ ‘misconduct,’ ‘she should be in jail,’” she complained, “I mean, you heard the lock her up cries from the crowd.”
The frantic Mitchell then began to rant about all the things she wanted Comey to have said in his letter to Congress:
The fact is, he [Comey] could have said, “This is not an investigation. This is just finding out.” He could have said, “There's nothing criminal here. He could have put in, we don't know. We have seen not seen e-mails.” Which has been reported. “We don’t know what’s in them. We don't know if they’re work related or personal.”
“He could have said these things Larry [Kudlow],” she angrily snapped at her fellow panelist who tried to speak.
Comey’s letter seems to have proved two befits to the public so far. The first being that it appears as though Comey is trying to be honest about the discovery of new evidence for an investigation with a highly controversial end. While at the same time driving Clinton’s supporters up a wall, which aids in exposing their favoritism for her for the world to see.

CHUCK TODD: Andrea, let me start with you because it’s so unprecedented. You and I have covered this town a long time, but to see James Comey now come under fire. First it was Republicans now it’s Democrats. And now the FBI's reputation is at stake.
ANDREA MITCHELL: It is. This is just the worst possible situation for the FBI, for the country, for Hillary Clinton certainly. For Hillary Clinton to go nuclear on Comey yesterday was a deliberate decision. They're trying to rally the base. And she did this in Daytona. She did this going then to a historically African-American college and had a huge rally there on the football field. She's really now taking this to Comey. And they made a deliberate decision to do this. If she's elected, she has to live with James Comey who has a ten-year term. That is a very hostile situation and a dangerous situation. Let me just also point out, John Kerry the Secretary of State, of course in Ireland today, said he has not been notified nor has the State Department. In other words, Comey did not know what these e-mails were or whether they were work-related. And that is the question that is raising so many concerns.

And the fact that he wrote that letter and now all of these Senate chair—or ranking members saying, “You’ve to be more specific.”
LARRY KUDOW: I don't think the letter was as artful as it could have been.
MITCHELL: You think?
KUDOW: I would have taken a pencil to it and did a little work as a former speech writer myself.
...“This is not an investigation. This is just finding out....
Just like when they went to talk to Dean, Halderman, Erlichman, and Muddy, and “finding out” about White House involvement in Wtergate.
Or, the old FBI going to a bank and “finding out” who robbed it.
Bill and Hillary, Americas own Bonnie and Clyde of the last 30 years.
That guy on the right . . . looks like the same metrosexual on the TV ad with a train going through “Korea.”
Sarah should have knocked her teeth out right then!!!! What a missed opportunity!!
Happy Halloweiner Hatchetface!
I’m just hoping this whole fiasco FINALLY allows Andrea Mitchell to take that much needed.... “dump”. She looks like she’s been constipated for the past 20 years! How else to explain that perpetual CRAMPED look on her face? Am I right?
Tehehehe!
Yet another old hag I want to see go away, forever!
Oh dear oh my oh gee so terrible for Hillary. Gosh gee whiz .
Didn’t say I was mad at her.
....She fretted for a future President Clinton who would have to work with Comey, since the term for an FBI director is 10 years.....
That’s simple to solve! There should not BE a “future President Clinton”!!!!
C’mon everybody! Vote Trump, even if you live in the bluest of blue states!!! Swamp out the embarrassment that is Hillary clinton! Enable President Trump to take as many states as possible, and start really, really CLEAN!!!!
“This is not an investigation. This is just finding out.”
Are you KIDDING ME? Pretty sure the Federal Bureau of Investigations was not created to JUST. FIND. OUT. ANYTHING.
Oh and THIS! "He [Comey] could have said, “There's nothing criminal here."
Yeah Andrea. They always JUST FIND OUT situations that they already know are not criminal at the FBI. (/sarc). "Hey boys and girls let's JUST FIND OUT stuff that isn't criminal for a living and take in a nice paycheck and go home and call ourselves investigators." NOT.
Andrea. Sadly you are not just working for Clinton and Obama. But you have drank and made so much Kool Aid it has completely rotted out your brain. Maybe go write magical little liberal stories for children still in the crib. As that is about the amount of brain power and intelligence that you can muster professionally. And then too the children don't have to listen to your ignorant, self important whining.
Mitchell was visibly upset....Too bad...
If Clinton had not selected, BitBleached, and hammered there wouldn’t be any email to surface at a later date, such as now. She brought this on herself.
Perhaps Comey could have said this is just a “listening tour”.
Well said!!
Andrea sees her lifelong dream of an American distopian socialism crashing. And she hates a future of a restored America, great again.
Poor Mrs. Greenspan..she looks so blue, her lover Hitlary will hopefully be in prison stripes soon she can’t deal with the possibility of that happening
Just goes to show you how the immature liberal brain works.
Amazing.
....Put this joke of a “reporter” out to retirement...
Actually, she is par for the course for journos in 2016, not a joke! Journos are our enemies!!!!
A lot of news organizations (NOT coal companies and miners) will need to go out of business, and be bought out or replaced by new organizations whose managements want to restore the news business to being GREAT AGAIN!!!!
