But I still think I was right to say that this matter was ultimately a political matter, not a legal one. Thanks to Vice Chairman Elijah Cummings and James Comey himself, today's event made that crystal clear. I mean really, Rep. Cummings put the Michael Brown case in his concluding statement. Give me a break.
But in the end, Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz nailed Comey to the wall regarding some hard truths about the FBI investigation that Hillary will find enormously difficult to evade and overcome. So stay tuned.
Never in my life did I ever expect to hear the top law enforcement official of the United States, actually act as Head Apologist in Chief and lame excuse maker for a group of felons whose (at best ) criminal negligence, has done serious harm to the country.
Under very simple questioning from Trey Gowdy, Comey could not even bring himself to answer a simple, direct “No” for several extremely damaging questions where Gowdy asked him if Clinton had told the truth on various statements she had made and on many he actually made excuses for her to minimize the impact.
