Response from Jackie Kucinich after I sent her Video of Director Comey and Rep. Cummings

>Subject: Re: Did you watch Rep Cummings and Director Comey at the hearing

I watched the entire hearing live, so am familiar with the exchange.
Multiple fact checkers have ruled her comments false, so I’m not alone in my
assertion that she wasn’t telling the truth. Because she wasn’t.
No matter who you support, they must be held accountable. Despite this highly
charged partisan atmosphere, facts – thank goodness - are still non-partisan.

Thank you for the note. I really do appreciate the feedback.
Best regards,
Jackie

bad mouth Hillary about her press conference today. It is like they know that Trump is sinking fast and they can't have that. It is nice that Jackie K. answered you, but she just gave a generic response with NO evidence to support her assertion.These journalists are CREATING this controversy now and they are assuming that there aren't enough of us who watched and read all the hearings, etc. This is bizarre. The only thing I can think is that Trumpeters are screaming that they are too pro Hillary because Trump is self destructing...OR they see polling etc. that shows that Hillary is basically heading for winning in a landslide and it is going to be obvious to everyone real soon. (if it isn't already pretty obvious). They need a horse race to keep ratings up until November.

I said that only a lazy, biased journalist would not view this portion of the Comey testimony and that I was putting out all over FB and Twitter so that many people would learn just how biased, lazy, and dishonest some journalists are.

Without having to discuss substance since they are lacking in that area.

Clear and to the point, explaining the various issues masterfully in a way that is easy to understand for everybody.
Comey seemed uncomfortable. He sure liked to provide these soundbites for the Republicans.

.@ron_fournier AP is incorrect in its fact check. I predict they will end up correcting this story
