Apparently, that story wasnt accurate. FBI officials privately confirmed to ProPublica that Comeys account of Abedins actions just doesnt hold water. In reality, Abedin only forwarded a few emails, not hundreds and thousands as Comey claimed. Also, none of the messages she sent were marked as classified at the time they were sent. The FBI suspects other emails appeared on Weiners computer as a result of Abedins Blackberry backups. Its unclear if any of the 12 classified emails Comey said they found there had actually been among the handful she forwarded.
The FBI originally planned to send a letter to Congress this week correcting Comeys version of events, but that plan is apparently still on hold. In the meantime, congressional Republicans have still been using Comeys story to further litigate Clintons emails. During a hearing on Monday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper how hed react if an employee had sent hundreds or even thousands of emails to their spouse, obviously referencing Comeys testimony.
This is only the latest example of Comey exaggerating, misrepresenting, or otherwise distorting the details of the FBIs investigation into Clintons emails.

emphasis mine
remember, Comey wrote a letter to Congress about the email investigation, which jasoninthehouse promptly put into the reich wing propaganda machine otherwise known as the media.

Did he write the letter at the request of the GrOPers?
Donnie blew kisses to Comey across the room for a reason.

He's trying to discredit the entire FBI, and go free.
Please, do not be idiots. Do not do Putin/Bannon's work for them.

(8,760 posts)I'm sure that the person he replaces Comey with (after Democrats destroy him) will do a bang-up job.

(1,046 posts)First they will go after FBI credibility, then they will try to replace the generals.
At that point, Trump owns America and democracy is dead in USA.

(1,046 posts)The misinformation campaign is still hard at work.
Whose cause is helped if Comey is removed? If you think it's Dems, you are deluded.

(49,365 posts)Anyone who believes the political hack, Comey, running the FBI, is in the best interest of the American people, is deluded.
Sculpin Beauregard
(1,046 posts)as much available info about Comey as possible - going back years ( Ashcroft hospital incident, anyone?) and I think he's a patriot, not a hack.
Remember last summer, when Comey wanted to go public with TrumpRussia investigation? And Obama admin said no, it would look too partisan? Did you even know about that?
See, Obama and a lot of us miscalculated in that we thought Trump would not win. But he did.
and now here we are.

With that, I'll rest my case.

Have a great day, yourself.

(12,310 posts)fact it was just the opposite. Comey showed his colors way back when he said Hillary didn't commit a crime but was "grossly negligent". Patriot my ass. There are no patriots in the republican party.

(1,046 posts)FBI Director James Comey attempted to go public as early as the summer of 2016 with information on Russias campaign to influence the U.S. presidential election, but Obama administration officials blocked him from doing so, two sources with knowledge of the matter tell Newsweek.
Well before the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) accused the Russian government of tampering with the U.S. election in an October 7 statement, Comey pitched the idea of writing an op-ed about the Russian campaign during a meeting in the White House Situation Room in June or July.
