(16,113 posts)position, but I feel like when I claim to see some level of hypocrisy, you're going to say I'm misrepresenting it anyway, so we might as well just do this now rather than drag it on.
It appears that the FBI looked into this Russia thing months ago (otherwise, how could Reid have asked them to release their findings months ago). I haven't heard anything about them completing that investigation, or even that it was an actual investigation (as opposed to an inquiry, which seems to be different). Reid is suggesting that Comey is sitting on some sort of "bombshell" information, do you think Reid knows what the FBI has, and if so, do you think Reid SHOULD know what the FBI has?
It seems to me that you don't really know what the FBI has in the Trump-Russia investigation, or even if there is an actual ongoing investigation, but agree with Reid that the information should be released. At the same time, you think he should keep his mouth shut about the Huma-Weiner email investigation and how it might possibly related to the previous email/server investigation.
You've created a hypothetical scenario to justify your support for the FBI releasing information on the one hand, and not commenting on the other hand, to justify your opposing positions on the same sort of issue, without having almost any facts.
