Former FBI Director James Comey said that Attorney General Loretta Lynch's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server gave him a "queasy feeling."
Testifying before the Senate intelligence committee for the first time since he was fired by President Trump, Comey said that Lynch directed him not to describe the FBI inquiry as an "investigation," calling it one of the bricks in the load that led to his public statement.
At one point the attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me, Comey said Thursday. He later testified that the directive gave him a queasy feeling.
He said he did not know whether or not it was intentional, but Lynchs suggestion that the investigation be called a matter suggested to him that the attorney general was trying to align how we describe our work with the Clinton campaigns rhetoric.

And this sleazy, inept, whining, cowardly, double dealing, leaker of secrets was head of the FBI!!!
Comey's disasterous performance yesterday showed what a total ass he is and left no doubt that Trump did the right thing by firing him.
Before speaking out yesterday he should have remembered the old Mark Twain adage:
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Another liberal male pansy fa@ infant who goes by ‘feewings” rather than testosterone, common sense and courage.
No wonder our gene pool is polluted.
Well how else do you expect a libtard to express himself?
Seems pure & simple case of obstruction of justice to me.
Lock lynch up.
Yeah - he claims being “confused” as he became part of the illegal plot to keep Hillary clear....
Billy C and Comey set Lynch up to be used as Hillary’s out. All part of the Clinton coverup.
How many people doubt that Comey was and still is a partisan Democrat party hack? We all knew it but now we are sure.
Alternatively, Federal Bureau of It Doesn’t Matter.
If he was ok with Barry then he’s dirty. Pure and simple.
The more you hear the more convinced you are that he (and NO ONE LIKE HIM) belongs anywhere near the kind of office he held.
If you are that subjectively enslaved to your ‘emotions’, then you have no business in a position of such responsibility.
He certainly sounds like the kind of personality which is typical of Liberals. It’s why they are averse to absolutes of ‘good and bad’, ‘right and wrong’, ‘ethical and unethical’ etc., and why they’re incapable of resolute action or responsible decision-making. Those kinds of situational or conditional ethics don’t recommend a person for positions of responsibility and certainly precludes their EVER making or keeping an oath of office or demonstrating either personal or professional integrity. it goes without saying that allegiance of any kind is beyond them.
I wouldn’t let anyone as emotional or subjective as that even house sit a parakeet.
Exactly right. His feelings are a tell as he is saying what he thinks will evoke sympathy. He’s “confused,” “queasy,” or whatever. Not buying his unwitting participant act. He’s saying what he believes will preserve his posterior.
How about
The Federal Bureau of What Does it Matter Now
What you said.
Feigned confusion.
Could be sociopath - doesn't have those feelings at all, but has learned that expressing them is an effective way to manipluate others.
“Feelings, nothing more than feelings...”
Comey’s gonna have some ‘splaining to do now. His timeline regarding the release of the “contents” of his memo was... a LIE, which makes his carefully crafted reason for releasing it... a LIE. That, in turn, would make any “responsible prosecutor” wonder how much of the remainder of his testimony was a lie.
For a very experienced prosecutor and former Director of the FBI, he sure sounded like a bit of a snowflake - and how the hell did he manage to get the timeline regarding the release of the contents of his memo and Trump’s “tape” Tweet wrong? Pretty sloppy trial prep, don’t ya think?
A friend of mine who was Chief Inspector for the RCMP in Vancouver, BC, referred to the FBI as “Famous But Incompetent” and truer words were never spoken.
Comey the Phony gets confused when it is convenient.
He previously testified that he never experienced political interference on FBI cases, then he says a week later Loretta Lynch tried to interfere for political reasons. Obvious corruption in the Obama administration - we all knew it. But no one caught it at the hearing, which was a big mistake, that he said Hillary was innocent, therefore Lynch didn’t do anything wrong, so therefore I didn’t have to report her. Well that was a steaming crock of self serving crap.
Hillary was guilty by any standard, and by Comey “pardoning” her, he relieves Lynch of her deliberate obstruction, and in turn pardons himself for not reporting Lynch. See - We are all innocent!
Republicans did not pounce on the prosecutorial ponzi scheme.
Very convenient.
