Chris Hayes noting that the investigation of Trump-Russia

started in July. Three months before the election. The nation deserved to know then. I'm so angry still at the sheer tonnage of Russian propaganda that was swallowed by people who whould have known better.

the stage. But no one did. I said it before many times and now again, it is better to get Dump out NOW before he forms an established gov., rather than later.

no matter what he does now. He might redeem himself in this investigation but time will tell.

Comey's own staff tried to warn him off. Then when he did go public he misrepresented what the FBI had and what they were actually looking for.

What the FBI had was a back-up file from before Clinton deleted her personal emails. Comey was fishing for something in the emails Clinton later deleted. What he found for "new" email was things like where the two women discussed what they were going to wear to a function that evening - definitely personal in nature.

What Comey ended up finding out was that this back-up file exonerated Clinton on all issues. She played by the rules. But Comey again was less that candid about the findings. Comey was a political hack for Trump regarding this aspect of the investigation into Clinton's email. He cannot be forgiven.

to investigate the server and when this investigation began?

FOUND THIS

In late July, one of these scientists—who asked to be referred to as Tea Leaves, a pseudonym that would protect his relationship with the networks and banks that employ him to sift their data—found what looked like malware emanating from Russia.
