amazed that there's effectively zero coverage of that. wonder when they started. I thought it would be the day after Labor Day.
does this mean that comey's data dump has defused all the talk of perjury, or that the MSM has decided, all of a sudden, after how many years, that there's no there there?
no more Fools for Scandal, MSM?

NONE on cnn/msnbc today. I've been watching for about seven hours, and have seen nothing on this
only reason I knew was from flipping through, and saw them on Cspan 2 or 3

The House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings in September to determine whether Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lied about her use of a private email server during testimony before the House Select Benghazi Committee last October.
Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Oversight Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah.) co-wrote a legal memorandum Monday to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia suggesting inconsistencies between what the former Secretary of State told the Benghazi Committee and what she told FBI in July.
During a House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing on October 22, 2015, Secretary Clinton testified with respect to whether she sent or received emails that were marked classified at the time; whether her attorneys reviewed each of the emails on her personal email system; whether there was one or more servers that stored work-related emails during her time as secretary of state; and whether she provided all her work-related emails to the Department of State, the memorandum states.

CNN continues to trumpet false narrative WRT the sending of "classified" emails
they cited his response in congress to leading questions wrt her insistence of not knowing that anything she sent/received were classified
they left it at THAT, failing to even mention the subsequent questioning be dems that left him backtracking his earlier insistence that there were two or three classified emails, admitting that those were the only real 'smoking guns' amongst the myriad emails he so cavalierly accused her of being so careless with, even though NONE of them were marked classified at the time. you all know the story of the confusing markings, the confrontation with which left Comey stuttering, muttering, and finally admitting that, indeed, they were, at best confusingly marked.
not ONE WORD on this, the FIFTH time this has been on CNN/MSNBC since about 10 this morning.
Brian Fallon did an excellent job on both networks refuting this BS charge, citing, in a much more felicitous manner than I have, how what Hillary said matched what Comey denied explicitly, but then had to ADMIT was correct, implicitly, when he could not state that ANY single email was marked classified in a clearly identifiable manner.
He said this about an hour before the CNN report I cite above, which just happened, so they completely IGNORED his statement, choosing to report only the accusations/conclusions, with no opportunity for a response.
surprised?
