https://www.propublica.org/article/comeys-testimony-on-huma-abedin-forwarding-emails-was-inaccurate
He stated that there were hundreds to thousands of Hillary emails on Abedin’s laptop and that many were classified at the time.
The tragicomedy rolls on.
Every single one of them would have burned the Watergate tapes. From every department down to every mayoral office. Every current-day republican.
Bet you're feeling more than nauseous now, you amazingly stupid... Something that would get me banned.
Comey wasn't going to do anything to hurt Trump anyway, it would have had to come from the CIA or the Senate investigation
My reaction right now is coalescing around "Sessions is weaponizing the DOJ in service of Trump, Trump's corruption, and his oppressive racist ass agenda"

I see no reason to think this is the case.
Hm I kind of disagree. I think he would have followed through in some form on the Russia stuff.
Which of course is out the window now. Whoever takes over the FBI will close that case up nicely, nothing to see here.
Maybe it's a preface to "If Comey hadn't said that no sane prosecutor would pursue this, we'd have her in jail already!"
The FBI has multiple ongoing investigations into Russia and Trump camp corruption, and they just fired the FBI director.
That Trump just fired him is the strongest possible argument in favor of Comey actually running a real investigation, and you know that whoever Trump nominates is going to be compromised as fuck.
Nah, he would have cut his own throat before accusing Trump of anything substantial. CIA or special prosecutor could maybe be trusted.

It's a conflicted response is what it is.
Also do we call this one "Mid-Week Madness" because that is what it seems like
The letter clearly shows they think the AG should decide whether HRC should be charged.
If they actually go there it's going to mean very bad things for this country.
yeah I don't know what the fuck
... I mean the next director has to be worse, right? That's a given.
Sessions really is the most venomous snake in this pile of adders

Comey tripping up over Abedin the other day just gave him some semblance of a cover story that I imagine he'd been waiting for.
I can think of 248 reasons. Or 53. (Not sure which side appoints the special prosecutor but the GOP has both so neener neener)
The irony is I agree that he mishandled the emails case- by making the public statements that he did!
And if he had been let go real Day 1, that would have made sense to me.
The timing on this is so obvious it's blinding.
You keep saying shit like this but there's really no reason to think so.
This does not seem like a carefully considered, planned decision, regardless of the letters.

This administration likes to do things with no warning so I guess this isn't a huge surprise.
The admin is trying to paint Comey as a Hillary partisan and they're selectively taking the liberal criticism out of context to do so while pushing the idea that sessions might actually charge.
Nobody can possibly believe that is why Trump is firing Comey, and I am going to get angry at GOP shills arguing that was the reason.
I can barely get through it, every line is making me
pardon my language
mildly nauseous
