53. His statements are about the FBI investigation. There is no congressional investigation
Thu Nov 5, 2015, 05:12 PM
Nov 2015

into her email server. (At least, for the moment)

Gowdy tried to use the email to get news for his Benghazi investigation, but he isn't looking into the DNI IG's claims. The DNI IG's claims are not about Benghazi.

I don't see it that way. yardwork Nov 2015 #1
I agree. Bleacher Creature Nov 2015 #5
He was talking about the FBI investigation, not the Republican-led committee. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #11
But the FBI made it clear Buzz cook Nov 2015 #47
You're right and wrong jkbRN Nov 2015 #50
The FBI is investigating on behalf of Hillary Capn Sunshine Nov 2015 #85
Lmao jkbRN Nov 2015 #98
Media Matters is no longer impartial. frylock Nov 2015 #62
Either the information is accurate Buzz cook Nov 2015 #83
No one ever said she was the target. In fact, my earlier jkbRN Nov 2015 #101
How is defending a citation Buzz cook Nov 2015 #114
Agreed! jkbRN Nov 2015 #99
because they don't want to notadmblnd Nov 2015 #105
By saying the same thing he said right after the debate? Fawke Em Nov 2015 #6
Its actually HRC supporters twisting his words. They have no shame, just like republicans. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #41
And your proof? scscholar Nov 2015 #57
You need proof. That's understandable. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #78

It's an FBI investigation, not a congressional committee. jeff47 Nov 2015 #17
There was no information on Clinton's server marked classified at the time it was on the server upaloopa Nov 2015 #32
Information is classified whether or not it is marked. jeff47 Nov 2015 #33
You don't know that. That is still heresay. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #42
Great, the investigation will bear that out jberryhill Nov 2015 #79
I'm sorry, but you're wrong Oilwellian Nov 2015 #94
No I am not upaloopa Nov 2015 #97
The IGs of Intel and State would disagree Oilwellian Nov 2015 #106
That story fizzled out. Which BootinUp Nov 2015 #102
Fizzled out? Hardly Oilwellian Nov 2015 #107
One thing that is true, is that the media has done a poor job BootinUp Nov 2015 #111
No, I'm not confused. I'm referring to Bernie's statements. yardwork Nov 2015 #52
His statements are about the FBI investigation. There is no congressional investigation jeff47 Nov 2015 #53
You ARE NOT disappointed - you are giddy! Don't lie, because we see right through it. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #39
Why would I be giddy? yardwork Nov 2015 #49
Heck, I don't know. Projection on my part? I get off work now - have a great day!! Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #56
You too! Enjoy the rest of the day. yardwork Nov 2015 #81
then you just heard what you wanted to hear Motown_Johnny Nov 2015 #88
Yeah, but HassleCat Nov 2015 #2
The server issue isn't a committee inquiry, is it? Fawke Em Nov 2015 #4
It is Oilwellian Nov 2015 #108
Thanks for proving the point! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #8
Thanks for proving the point! AlbertCat Nov 2015 #64
Are we on the platground now? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #67
Do you mean "playground"? AlbertCat Nov 2015 #70
Yes on a phone on a train... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #71
In this particular case, the investigation is over classified in the emails jeff47 Nov 2015 #15
OK, that's different HassleCat Nov 2015 #24
Personal accounts was common practice, but so far classified in those accounts is new. jeff47 Nov 2015 #26
Well, that's because they haven't been investigated with that in mind. HassleCat Nov 2015 #28
Actually, it isn't too late. There's no statute of limitations on espionage. jeff47 Nov 2015 #29
That's what we call wishful thinking. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #43
It's kind of like with Nixon HassleCat Nov 2015 #48
Thank you. It isn't a flip-flop. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #3
Thank you Armstead Nov 2015 #7
If he had added "Let's wait for the FBI and Congress to finish their investigations" Nye Bevan Nov 2015 #9
Except he did say that right after the debate when he was interviewed. eom Fawke Em Nov 2015 #12
Maybe you should join his team as a consultant. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #44
Well said, thank you for posting. emulatorloo Nov 2015 #13
I think it actually is a flip-flop. But it's not one that will do much damage on a national level. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #14
Bernie's debate comment was directed at the media obsession 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #16
THIS. n/t retrowire Nov 2015 #18
Twue. aidbo Nov 2015 #23
In the full context of what he actually said deutsey Nov 2015 #19
THIS. Thank you for logic. n/t retrowire Nov 2015 #20
Logic fucking rocks doesn't it. Phlem Nov 2015 #58
it rocks so hard. n/t retrowire Nov 2015 #84
Here you go just minutes after the debates. What he had to say at 11:05 pm EST that night Snotcicles Nov 2015 #87
Well, team Clinton has spent so much time lying about the emails, it's an easy mistake to make. jeff47 Nov 2015 #21
According to the IGs official statement Oilwellian Nov 2015 #109
Yes, when I said "State" I was referring to later statements by State's spokespeople. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #113
i agree. JI7 Nov 2015 #22
I believe the "tired of the damn emails" was actually a jab at Clinton Nitram Nov 2015 #25
Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #37
Some folks made that suggestion after the debate. I didn't think they were right at the time. stevenleser Nov 2015 #93

This pretty much sums up your average post on these forums. RichVRichV Nov 2015 #82
It's refreshing to see DU embracing the idea of nuance for a change. Skinner Nov 2015 #30
Disappointed DownriverDem Nov 2015 #31
Nothing there to fix. DU is so full of suspicion about any comments they fear, Ford_Prefect Nov 2015 #35
The only thing more amusing than politicianas flip-flopping Tarc Nov 2015 #34
I'm not a Sanders supporter. NuclearDem Nov 2015 #36
I see Tarc Nov 2015 #40
WTF? Really? I'm not a Sanders supporter either riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #51
Do you plan on using them? AlbertCat Nov 2015 #66
All you will get for your efforts is more bullshit, propaganda, and obfuscation. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #38
Agreed... Did You Catch This: WillyT Nov 2015 #45
I knew Sanders was talking about the media, but HRC cleverly grabbed the chance... polichick Nov 2015 #46
It occurs to me that the accusation you make against Clinton, Nitram Nov 2015 #54
Which part of "clever, opportunistic and shameless" do you have a problem with... polichick Nov 2015 #60
Is there a statute of limitations for these type of investigations ToxMarz Nov 2015 #55
There's no statute of limitations on espionage. jeff47 Nov 2015 #59
There has been no finding the Hillary's email contained classified information. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #65
There has been a finding. It isn't a legal finding. jeff47 Nov 2015 #68
There is no finding. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #72
Again, information is classified whether or not it is marked. jeff47 Nov 2015 #73
The FBI is not investigating Clinton. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #74
They are not conducting a criminal investigation against Clinton. jeff47 Nov 2015 #75
The FBI is not conducting any investigation of Clinton. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #77
Do you have a new mantra? jeff47 Nov 2015 #86
The FBI is not investigating anybody with regard to Hillary's emails. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #89
So yes, you have a new mantra. jeff47 Nov 2015 #90
It is not a "new mantra." I am simply stating facts that have been out there for months. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #91
No, you aren't stating facts. jeff47 Nov 2015 #92
No, you're lying because your candidate is dropping in the polls. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #95
You started with there's no FBI investigation at all, later admitted this was false. jeff47 Nov 2015 #96
I did not admit anything I said was false. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #100
You just later said the opposite. jeff47 Nov 2015 #103
It's your candidate who is changing the subject. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #104
I didn't regurgitate anything ToxMarz Nov 2015 #80
Wayyyyyyyy too nuanced for the average person.... AlbertCat Nov 2015 #61
He goes from not wanting to hear about it to calling it a valid investigation. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #63
Try reading the half-a-dozen times up thread.... AlbertCat Nov 2015 #69
Try reading the context in which Bernie was asked the question. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #76
NO it's not a flip-flop.. it's a desperate flipflop.. thanks for your opinion but others have Cha Nov 2015 #110
The best possible outcome for Clinton would be for the whole mess to last another 6 months eridani Nov 2015 #112
