Rep. Mulvaney (R-SC) doing a great job right now...
Rep. DesJarlais (R-TN)... WOW. He’s good. Asking GREAT questions that stupid Comey cannot answer!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m dvr-delayed but I agree with both of your comments about their lines of questioning.
Question (some one should have asked): Why DIDN’T Comey bring the 302 summation to this hearing and be prepared to answer questions based on it-—especially considering the fact that he was not present at Hillary’s interview and it was NOT taped.
Comey obviously studied the 302 carefully but could not answer questions the Congressmen asked that were based on it-— other than saying it was a very long 302.
WHY was he so unprepared to asked questions that might be based on the 302 summation?
Another question: Did he give the 5-6 agents that interviewed Hillary any direction if he knew that “criminal intent” was, in his mind, the weakest part of the case?
IMO, this was the feeblest part of Comey’s testimony.
All of these great questions have probably gone right over those democrats heads on that committee.
He is feeble indeed!
No wonder criminals call the FIB “The Feebs.”
You bring up great points, but I admit I haven’t heard the entire testimony today. I’ve only been watching on and off since about 12 noon ET.
“Another question: Did he give the 5-6 agents that interviewed Hillary any direction if he knew that “criminal intent” was, in his mind, the weakest part of the case?”
My understanding is “with the intent to retain (it) at an unauthorized location” was the sole scope of the investigation.
Comey may have had his statement prepared before that Clinton interview. She may have had a chance to previewed that statement. Comey was noticeably absent at that “interview” last Saturday.
Now Comey saying no aides will be prosecuted, and won’t comment on Clinton Foundation.
