I had not heard that before. Thoughts Freepers?
Thank you for bringing up Comey’s misleading testimony. It wasn’t the first time he’s misled congress. And it appears that Yates isn’t the only gubment servant with a Supreme Court attitude. I recall that Yates was ‘very concerned’ that Sessions was giving ‘misinformation’ about Flynn’s phonecalls - enough to notify the WH, and via leaks, the press, who all called for Session’s resignation with much harrumping. And I can’t count the number of times someone or another has indignantly demanded someone on Trump’s staff or in his family resign or be fired for something that person felt was ‘misleading.’ So to them, I say, goose, gander.
The first impression people had of Comey was this guy coming along from the FBI and laying out a case which sounded damning, and then saying that it wouldn’t be prosecuted, and THEN blathering a bunch of 1984 sounding stuff. Then he kept coming back, and kept coming back!
It wasn’t/isn’t professional.
Not sure why he didn’t axe this guy back in January. Thank goodness he is out now.

This guy is defending Trump’s decision to fire Comey - but he seems to be missing the point of why he was fired.
The memos from the deputy AG, the AG and the termination letter from POTUS are very clear that it was not for lying to congress about the number of emails sent to Weiner’s laptop.
It was because Comey acted outside of his appropriate role when he publicly deemed the server gate case against Clinton not worth prosecuting. That was not his call to make and the deputy AG clearly said that made Comey unfit for the position. The AG agreed, and the POTUS agreed and its all clearly spelled out in the three letters.
I don’t know why this writer wants to justify it on a different basis. Maybe it’s a straw man argument where you pose as an ally, then purposely suggest a weak argument in order to sabatage your opponent.
BUMP
The picky point is that huma did not 'forward' them all to print but the laptop was the designated backup device for the blackberry huma was using.
That would mean that WHATEVER was on huma's blackberry moved to the weiner laptop.
This is the elephant in the room as far as I can see and we are being distracted by this other wordplay BS.
I think the FBI has everything they need to bury the whole pack of jackals that are involved in any and all of the scandals that clinton has skated on.
All we need is a director with stones and an AG of the same nature.
