So now all they have is: "It creates a talking point." Hillary spokesperson doing great job about

Comey walking back his comments about the classification of e-mails. The really need to put his backtrack in a direct ad...crisp and to the point using his own words.

I thought the Clinton spokesperson DID A TERRIBLE JOB. She is not driving home the real point of "NO EMAILS WERE MARKED CLASSIFIED".

That MSNBC idiot clearly has only watched the Comey news conference and has not watched the hearing where Comey is under oath and gave COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TESTIMONY. I assume Chucky Toad wrote their talking points and they have been stuck on a false version of the story from day one.

Hillary, if you are out there GET BETTER SURROGATES ON MY TV. Your smiley happy people are not getting the job done.

HELP US HELP YOU FOR CHRIST SAKE.

ETA: YES, I AM YELLING. I AM PISSED ABOUT THIS.

I just said?"

The talking head keeps going back to Comey's presser, ignoring the fact that he did a 180 on the "classified" issue when he was under oath before Congress.

Note: he was NOT under oath during his presser. People change their story all the time once put under oath.

The media is lazy. They want to make this an issue, even if that means they ignore information that is more timely and which disproves earlier information. They do this because Hillary is a D.

congressional hearing with Comey since it happened. Comey's initial statements are now taken as fact, I agree the Clinton campaign needs to come out to attack this.

This needs to be messaged better.

Comey testified under oath there were no emails marked classified. None. It needs to be played over and over.
