(827 posts)And R's will use that line until the cows come home. I wonder if they can use Comey himself in ads or is that illegal?
KeepItReal
(7,769 posts)They found emails she didn't hand over to State Department.
No intent found, but "extremely careless" handling of top secret information.

(28,394 posts)There is plenty there for the repugs to jump all over. She may or may not have been hacked... not sure, but possible her correspondents were.
"No reasonable prosecutor" would bring a criminal case, in his judgment.

(6,402 posts)It's not her. It's anyone not-Republican. Obama's administration has been clean as a whistle compared to others for the last few decades and look at every little thing they keep throwing at him.
It's not the person, it's that they're not "one of us" when it comes to why Republicans do this.
femmocrat
(28,394 posts)Someone on MSNBC pointing out that Comey was appointed by bush and the issue has been politicized. I look to the repugs to attack her on her "judgment" though.
They will jump on anything that they can use against her.

(6,402 posts)Just seeing some of Shaun King's tweets has me rolling my eyes. These are not people that I want to stand with.

(3,201 posts)One minute I thought he was going to say they were recommending indictment, the next I thought they wouldn't.

(42,478 posts)The Rs will continue to try to make hay out of this because that's what they do. But it's done and over.

(12,504 posts)Won't stop Trump on this front either.
He and his rabid followers are bottom dwelling, mush brained, ignoramuses with a penchant for squelchy facts and a camaraderie of flat headed fools. These are ignorant of the truth and shying away from any truth that doesn't feed their sense of manufactured outrage.

Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)But what Comey said will be used by the GOP to blast Hillary by calling her too careless to be president.
Hillary and the rest of the Democrats need to get ahead of this before it spins out of control.
