Clinton Camp Fires Back At Comey

[bigtree]

Forceful statement from Podesta: Comey "owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining."

[spanone]

1. K&R...

[still_one]

2. Good, and every MSM media outlet should hang their head in shame

[tenaciousdem]

7. I concur!

Disgusting to say the least.

[rurallib]

28. like that will ever happen

[still_one]

33. It was not unsimilar when the SC came out with the ACA ruling. The MSM failed to

read the full content, and the first report came out was that the SC ruled the ACA unConstitutional. The rest of the media maggots followed quickly after, until someone actually read the ruling, and then they all issued a retraction.

[pangaia]

56. Right. That's about to happen. After 36 years of shameful behavior..

[Sophiegirl]

3. Thanks for posting

I was looking for the text.

[lillypaddle]

4. Podesta is right

Comey OWES it to the public to at least say WTF he is dealing with. SOMETHING for gawd's sake!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

5. WOW - Thank you!!

[jonno99]

6. Exactly! Unless they got "something", why say anything? (unless comey is trying to tip the scales)nt

[Farmgirl1961]

8. Hot Damn!

Let's get some media coverage on this, s!

[world wide wally]

9. At least Hillary will fire him if Obama doesn't!

[awoke_in_2003]

42. That ship has sailed

If he is fired, it will be characterized as a political play to cover their tracks. He shouldn't have been appointed in the first place. Lay down with dogs (republicans), wake up with fleas.

[murielm99]

49. So what? Fire him anyway.

He deserves to be fired. Comey has been playing politics with this email non-scandal since day one. Fire him for not doing his job as head of the FBI, for using his office for political games. How can it hurt Obama at this late date? These fools have tried to fuck up Obama's Presidency and his legacy since he took office. Pay them back. Play hardball. They deserve it. Comey deserves it.

[awoke_in_2003]

50. It won't backfire on PBO

it will backfire on HRC.

[cilla4progress]

10. GodDAM when are we going to see internal

Trump foundation/campaign/personal emails?

Oh well, at least there was Access Hollywood, which did its job quite nicely, thank you very much.

Anyway, there is a recurrent theme here: Bill Clinton-Trump-Weiner. Hmmm...what could it be.

[maryellen99]

12. Those tapes of Trump saying the n word need to be released NDAs be damned nt

[progressoid]

15. Sadly, saying the N-word would probably gain him some supporters.

The mainstream Repubs would denounce it but still vote for him.

[DK504]

32. They tried

The so called liberal media mentioned it a couple times and nothing ever came of it. Despite the million things that have come out about his cases of fraud over and over again they are refusing to call him out for his theft.

[lpbk2713]

11. IOW --- Put up or shut up.

I would have expected better than cheap last minute theatrics from the FBI.

[Duppers]

36. If Comey is just knuckling to Repubs without real justification,

Obama should be clear that he'll fire his ass!

[Thor_MN]

38. Comey is a lame duck too. And this pretty much seals his return to the private sector.

I doubt he can keep his job.

[bluesbassman]

54. I suspect he'll be writing a book soon after his return to the private sector.

I'm sure it will contain lots of "facts" he was was not "allowed" to divulge as FBI director, but he'll feel compelled to enlighten the American people about how bad HRC is (and make a tidy sum of money hawking the book too).

[beachbumbob]

13. MSM reacting as expected...No facts nothing but hyperbole...so far

We have Russian state sponsored hacking of a US presidential campaign emails....we have what appears a planned backstabbing by the director of the FBI to knee cap a presidential candaidate...and we have the opposing candidate praising a Russian dictator...begging for them to hack Hillarys email..You can't make this up...

[kentuck]

14. Show your cards, Comey.

Or shut the fuck up!

[Hugin]

16. I'm at a total loss of words on this blatant partisan political move.

Have the Republicans no shame? I guess not.

Our Elected Representatives (of all parties... The real statespeople, if any are left.) should be screaming for accountability from the FBI... Today.

[awoke_in_2003]

43. It's Kabuki theater

designed to keep the dumb masses distracted. Just like black box voting- if either party had a problem with it they would be making noise instead of ignoring it.

[Hekate]

18. KnR

[UCmeNdc]

19. It is funny how the FBI always manages to leak Democratic emails but nothing about Russian

intelligence working in Donald Trump's organization.

[Duppers]

37. +10

[yardwork]

20. Good statement.

[demgrrrll]

21. k and r

Dumped on a Friday and went home for the weekend.

[Upthevibe]

22. Waking up to this put me on edge at the very beginning of the day! Good on the Clinton Campaign!

He needs to STFU!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sick of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nolabear]

23. Damn right. Ante up, Comey.

They're counting on more innuendo to do the dirty work. I hate this.

[Hulk]

24. ALWAYS distrust a repug.

I thought it was "too good to be true" that a republiKKKan would vindicate Hillary of any wrong doing. Way to come through with my predictions, comey. Throw some doubt in the minds of the twisted HRC-haters so they can now pump that up to be "something else we've got" against that damned corrupt Clinton woman.

[DemonGoddess]

25. K&R!

[NastyRiffraff]

26. I'm glad the Clinton campaign is pushing back

This is beyond ridiculous. Comey says there are new emails relating not to Hillary Clinton, but to her chief aid and a horrible soon-to-be-ex husband and coyly hints that they're somehow incriminating. But of course, he doesn't actually say so; there's no indication of what's in them, no statement that he's re-opening the email probe, but, according to the media, it's a "bombshell." The media, who knows no more than the rest of us do about what's in those emails.

[Jim Beard]

27. Can Obama fire his ass?

[Liberal Veteran]

44. That would look really bad and President Obama is smarter than that.

I rather imagine this tempest in a teapot will go away without dragging up allusions to Archibald Cox.

[George II]

29. Good. I think that 99% of the people who have been paying attention to this and the campaign....

....(and that 99% is probably 10% of the electorate) realize that this is just a distraction, nothing significant.

[DesertRat]

30. K&R

[vi5]

31. Hey, look on the bright side....

If Obama hadn't appointed a Republican, then we wouldn't have gotten all that great legislation that came out of all the good will he received for being "bipartisan".

And if he hadn't done that then the media might have portrayed him and Dems negatively rather than what they did which was run story after story about how great it was that he was willing to reach across the aisle.

So yeah, this really sucks that a politicized FBI director would pull such a shitty, obvious move so close to an election. But look at all the good we got from appointing this guy in the first place.















*Do I even need to put the sarcasm tag here?*

[awoke_in_2003]

45. And appointed in 2013, no less

When it was painfully obvious that the GOP had no intention of working with the other side. Seriously, 4 years isn't long enough to get a fucking clue?

[elmac]

34. The Clinton Campaign is pushing back but

when President Clinton is in office she will be kicking some ass. She won't play games, she won't put up with repug dirty tricks, she will kick fascist butt.

[awoke_in_2003]

46. Yep

the football won't be pulled away at the last second this time.

[Native]

35. I am so fucking mad about this right now!

(K&R by the way)

[humbled_opinion]

40. Just putting this out there

is damaging in a close election, it needs cleared up ASAP.

[awoke_in_2003]

47. It won't be

They (the media) can still win this for tRump. If they do, I will laugh every time he has media members arrested, because they (by being propagandists) brought it on themselves. Fucking stenographers.

[sarcasmo]

41. Kick

[Akamai]

48. And release the emails NOW!!! You jerk!

[Jnew28]

51. Comey has just proved himself to be a partial, GOP stooge.

[smirkymonkey]

52. +1000

Nothing pissed me off more than seeing Trump's bloated orange ass gloating on TV like he finally had this all in the bag. I can't wait to see him get smacked down on November 8th.

[burrowowl]

53. K&R!!!!!!

[raging moderate]

55. Bring it.

Please proceed, Director.

[niyad]

57. k and r

[BlancheSplanchnik]

58. Good!

Hilary's showing us how you use a backbone!

Or, call it Ovaries of Steel: grow some, Democrats!!!!!

[Sunny05]

59. Amen! / nt
