Nancy Pelosi Statement on FBI Letter to GOP Congressional Chairmen

[Fla Dem]

San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement in response to FBI Director James Comey’s letter to eight Republican Committee Chairmen:

“After an exhaustive review of Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email server, the FBI concluded that charges would be unreasonable and unjustified. Nothing in Director Comey’s letter to the Republican Committee chairs suggests that assessment will or should change.

“Republicans have spent months attempting to bully the FBI into changing the conclusion of their review. Sadly but predictably, Republicans are doing their best to misrepresent this letter and warp the FBI’s work to serve their partisan conspiracy-mongering against Hillary Clinton.

“The Director of the FBI himself stated that, ‘the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant.’ Furthermore, there is not any indication that this review involves Secretary Clinton’s own use of emails. The public interest would be served by the FBI providing the facts, rather than allowing Republicans to stoke innuendo and falsehoods 11 days away from a presidential election.”

Another strong woman.

1. I would ask, why was this letter sent to only 8 GOP congressmen?

[NBachers]

3. Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

[Avalux]

11. Most likely because they were the members of the House committee. n/t

[MiniMe]

12. Probably sent to the people who got Comey's letter

Who are the chairmen of certain committees

[George II]

15. They were sent to the party leaders of several committees that have done their own investigations.

24. Why did Omama have this person in head of the FBI. Obama was far to damn trusting.

I read both of Obama's books and the only thing that stood out was his desire for cooperation of the Republicans to move the country forward. He was blind and this is his reward. Comey was appointed by Bush and was only willing to wait until he could shove it up Obama and Hilary's ass big time. Anyone who trust a Republican should get their head examined. They are the scum of the earth. I marvel about how some working class Democrats can be buddies with Republicans who support a party that that is determined to enslave them in poverty.

25. Those were the chairmen of the requisite House committees...

I so desperately wish we could flip the House, but .

He had to know that there would be no confidentiality there.

2. Good statement Nancy in getting a dig back at the Reps, which is what the slimeball Conway did

(and worse) earlier on MSNBC. The Campaign should be hitting back hard at the Reps over this, ie create a Shitstorm back at them

4. KNR

[EV_Ares]

5. I am hoping that before all of this is over, this comes back to bite the repubs.

[Hugin]

6. It's not the content, but, the timing of this release which is suspect.

Resign NOW, Comey.

[LeftInTX]

9. Lock him up!! Lock him up!!

[DK504]

20. Exactly

Comey has broken every single rule he laid down back in 2012. His refusal to follow the rules and interfere in our election. I have to wonder wht someone has on him. This is such a breach of ethics it is mind numbing.

[Sorceress]

7. Well stated!

[LeftInTX]

8. He only corresponds with Republicans, except for the cc to Dianne Feinstein

He should have sent his correspondence to all committee members, not just to Republicans.

[BSdetect]

10. That does seem very partisan of him

[PoliticAverse]

13. He didn't send it to committee MEMBERS but to committee chairs....

who, as the Republicans control the House and Senate, are all Republicans.

You can see that from the letter:

[PunksMom]

14. EXACTLY!

[Bigleaf]

16. Wrong. It was sent to all 8 committee chairs (pubs) and cc'd to all 8 ranking members (Dems)

Page 2 and 3 contain the list of names it was cc'd to.

[LeftInTX]

17. Thx...didn't know there was another page

[MarinCoUSA]

18. Thank you Speaker Pelosi for your thoughtful appropriate comment.

n/t

[lillypaddle]

19. K&R nt

[AgadorSparticus]

21. That is EXACTLY right!

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Incredible political sense

Nancy Pelosi can ferret out the truth in anything and tell what
will fly, and what won't. Sure hope she has mentored lots
of people in her years on Capitol Hill

[Sunny05]

23. Thank you, Fla Dem.

And you go, Nancy Pelosi!

[fun n serious]

26. Republicans whine and obstruct

Democrats work and govern.
