2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Comey has royally screwed up! He should be standing at attention in Lynch's office. Check this out: [View all]Jarqui
(10,122 posts)My most common news sources are CNN, MSNBC online videos/NBC, ABC, CBS, NYT & WaPo - with other major papers/mags thrown in now and then. I hate FOX, always have and canceled my cable because of them.
I don't know IF Comey has something. I'm not Comey nor in the FBI. But I cannot dismiss he doesn't have something because I don't know that either.
Maybe they found nothing new but they found classified emails on Weiner's laptop. They'd have to report a security breach, wouldn't they? That's another possibility that would explain his actions.
There is a terrible rush to judgement here with scant facts to support that judgement and a simplistic presumption of it being partisan or hatred based. But because my jury is still out looking for more evidence to convince me of positions that are being taken, I'm a right winger? That's pretty narrow minded and ignorant and false. I've been a left winger all my life.
PS: the notion of hate is a troubling one for me. I don't hate much of anything. It doesn't feel good and often the emotion is misplaced emotional energy from a lack of understanding of the other side. But I can tell you there is one person that gets me pretty darn close to ugly feelings and makes my blood boil: Donald Trump.
Do I wish this would all go away so that Hillary could be president? Absolutely. It will be our worst nightmare if it turns out otherwise.
Understanding is a very powerful thing. I do not think Hillary is inherently evil. She's got flaws but is not the second coming of Adolf Hitler like some construe Trump. I truly believe that the sooner we can understand what is really going on with Comey, our defense of Hillary against the right wing on this will be much more effective because it is founded on facts and truth. Comey owes America an explanation - more details. I'm sure he's feeling that heat. I doubt he'll remain silent until the election. If we haven't gone off the rails half nuts swamped with crazy conspiracy theories based on hate, folks will be far more receptive to a facts based rational presentation of the evidence - that could effectively and quickly exonerate Hillary.
