Dems 'outraged' with Comey after House briefing
thehill.com ^ | 1/13/17 | Mike Lillis and Katie Bo Williams

Posted on 01/13/2017 12:18:43 PM PST by ColdOne

A number of House Democrats left Friday's confidential briefing on Russian hacking fuming over the actions of FBI Director James Comey and convinced he's unfit to lead the agency.

"I was nonjudgmental until the last 15 minutes. I no longer have that confidence in him," Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), ranking member of the Veterans Affairs Committee, said as he left the meeting in the Capitol.

"Some of the things that were revealed in this classified briefing — my confidence has been shook."

Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, delivered a similar condemnation.

ADVERTISEMENT "I'm extremely concerned — extremely," he said.

"I'll just — I'm very angry," echoed Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.).

Bingo! They are continuing the Investigation into the Weiner emails containing classified material that was hacked and the Hillary Clinton shakedown of foreign Leaders for large donations to the CGI.

Hillary broke the law having that private server. Knowing the DNC/Podesta hacks happened only highlights her carelessness and shows how she let classified info get to our enemies.

Perhaps Trump has indicated that he wants Comey to stay?

If Elijah Cummings is fuming mad at Comey it might be that Comey has some redeeming qualities after all.

Could it be that they are angry with Comey because they would like to blame Hillary’s loss on the timing of briefly reopening the email information? I seems to me that the Democrats are trying to gather up as many reasons why they feel Trump really didn’t win the election legitimately, and Hillary was, in fact, just a victim.

...confidential briefing on Russian hacking...

So the FBI isn’t buying the “Russia stole the election from Hillary” nonsense.

Knowing that 0 could pardon her if he charged her, maybe he just sat on his plans. The statute of limitations are not to run out for another couple of years. An independent prosecution has plenty of time to be put in place with the materials FBI has gathered As for now democrats are mad and we should be glad.

Poor, old Elijah.
His English not the best.
Poor old Elijah, eventually failed the test.
Poor old Elijah, whose confidence was shook
until he learned to speak a bit more by the book.

His confidence was shaken, his knowledge was forsaken and and he turned out to be a real time crook.

I’m waiting for one them to advance the argument that Comey is a Russian agent.

After all, it’s all one big Russkie conspiracy. They got the president. It’s comparatively simple to get a FBI director.

Just remember folks:

Democrat = Twisted

There’s a Democrat ‘common sense’ cloakroom just outside the hearings. They get a handy little card with a number on it, and pick it (the common sense) up their on the way out.

Problem is, theirs was heavily damaged before they dropped it off.

But I thought that Obama said good things about him?

I just opinions of Democrats change as quickly as the weather in some places.

If the dems are upset, I like it.

If they hate Comey, I want him (well maybe not but what the...)

At this point, I’ll celebrate anything that makes them miserable.
