Bill Weld Just Said This On Lawrence O....

[Fahrenthold451]

"She's a straight shooter"

"She and I worked very closely"

"The effect of that letter was to interfere with a presidential election"

I would have told Comey, (prior to sending the letter) "don't do it"

"PS there's no there there"

Who are you hoping will win? ".....(after first bloviating about the need for a viable third party) I don't think that Trump is fit to be president with regards to stability"


I'll take it. Very forcefully anti Comey. Very forcefully pro HRC.

Edit: Sorry if the title is a bit clickbaity. That interview was different in the sense that Weld was far more definitive in his criticism of Comey. Gone was "raw deal" and present was an overall allegation of illegality (or at least radically inappropriate actions) by FBI.

1. I'll take it, too!

[Dem2]

2. He's been good

3. I'd have a beer with him. Or seven.

4. yeap, fuck Comey... damage was done at the right time for the GOP too; 11 days before an election

[Thinkingabout]

5. Comey made some bad decisions, should have never had the news confderence, then

It required him to testify before Congress and without the proper warrant for the next set of emails he is out and running his mouth again. The Republican Congress should be as interested in getting their job done as being interested in the non scandal emails of Hillary Clinton.

7. Might make a good AG

We need to get the Senate to get him through. Too honorable for most republicans.

8. K & R

9. Weld, DROP OUT! But if Weld did drop out, and endorse Hillary, it could peel from Johnson

who most polls taking from Hillary, and help her win. Johnson's entire run is a vanity adventure.

[Egnever]

10. He has been saying that for a few days now

Saw him on Rachel I think thursday saying the same.

[Fahrenthold451]

11. He has re saying Clinton has gotten a "raw deal" but this one helped clarify

In particular, he is now able to say the there's no there there and he seemed to be much more forceful re the inapproprateness of Comeys first letter.

[Egnever]

13. Nice

Hard to believe Comey thought anything would be found that was new.

[Flatpicker]

12. So if

Hillary wins, should we expect an FBI review?
I figure Comey's career is over at the very least.

Sounds like the agency has an agenda that may not be the will of the voters.

How does this shake out?

[Fahrenthold451]

14. It shakes out very very badly for Comey

At a minimum he will go down in history as the person who made possibly the worst single call in law enforcement history.

At a maximum he will be facing Hatch Act violations for interfering with an election. Especially considering he didn't actually have the emails in question and he clearly violated long standing governmental edicts.

The fact this appears just to be a cloud synch is the kicker. Huma just opened her email on her husbands desktop. That's it. A dupe check probably validated the situation in 30 minutes.

Further, the fact he didnt have a warrant and didn't ask to see the emails from Huma prior to sending the letter may be evidence that he crossed the bridge too far.

[Fahrenthold451]

15. And yes, the Dems need to root out the Opus Dei elements at the FBI

So there will be calls to investigate who the leakers were to Guiliani. Etc.
