75. I don't have cable and cannot watch FOX news. Nor do I commonly visit their site.
Mon Oct 31, 2016, 08:07 AM
Oct 2016

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.

no surprise there... chillfactor Oct 2016 #1

If they were not sent from Clinton's server, which was a major part of the subject uponit7771 Oct 2016 #20
Your first paragraph is a reasonable argument. Wilms Oct 2016 #23
More bullshit! Making excuses for Comney that you know are lies? He doesn't know the email headers. bettyellen Oct 2016 #41
I made a logical argument based on what information we have. Wilms Oct 2016 #42
Bullshit- he has NOT seen the emails, their headers, nothing. You're making shit up to defend Comey. bettyellen Oct 2016 #43
I'm sure he'll be able to back up why he thinks it's pertinent... Wilms Oct 2016 #44
You're defending him based on a lie that they saw headers. Why carry Trumps water? bettyellen Oct 2016 #45
You are the one not telling the truth. Wilms Oct 2016 #46
Comey did not see "subject line" headers or anything - why lie to cover for him? Why carry water for bettyellen Oct 2016 #47
Do you have a link to support that? Wilms Oct 2016 #48

It actually would- to be directly related to Clinton- but keep on trucking... bettyellen Oct 2016 #38
Are you agreeing that it could "be directly related to Clinton"?? Wilms Oct 2016 #39
No matter how you Comey and Trump try to spin this- if there is no direct connection to her server bettyellen Oct 2016 #40
No matter your protest, I have put forward a rational set of ideas. Wilms Oct 2016 #63
Ideas excusing Combey based on a fabrication? He never saw the emails and has no idea.... bettyellen Oct 2016 #66
OK. I give up. Wilms Oct 2016 #67

It is also clear that Comey colluded with Chavez Demsrule86 Oct 2016 #25
