He did? When? Quote that from the hearings.
Maybe I read it a couple of days ago in one of the nations two leading most respected papers, or I heard it on tv maybe, or that's what I saw them saying at the hearing. IDK, I had the sound muted.
Why do you have to do all that when you can just look at the transcript?
Drink the koolaid if you like, words make a difference.Using the term "matter" was part of the plan to minimize what was going on, which was a criminal investigation concerning the Clinton email scandal. There is little doubt in my mind that this directive came from master wordsmith William Jefferson Clinton. The arm twisting done by the Clintons and political operative Lynch had a definite impact on Comey who was obviously uncomfortable using the word matter. We know this from his own testimony given yesterday. While uncomfortable, he did bend to the pressure. The investigation was thwarted by this obstruction plain and simple. The plan backfired when Comey went through his list of criminal offense that his investigation had uncovered, and then using the lamest legal logic, that being intent, which any first year law student knows is irrelevant, he let Clinton walk. At that moment the entire world saw the corruption of our criminal justice system and the double standards used when trying to prosecute the wealthy and powerful. The Clinton campaign never really recovered after that, and the rest is history. History now being rewritten by a delusional left wing media who just can't process the reality of what happened.Tony Starke post: 4468880 said:
How did changing the language from 'investigation' to 'matter' thwart the investigation and why isn't the same standard applied when it comes to changing the FBI director
Secondly, you are being dishonest about what Comey said
Sen. Sasse: Do you think that Secretary Clinton break any laws related to classified data?
Director Comey: We have no evidence sufficient to justify the conclusion that she violated any of the statutes related to classified information.
Can you name one another person who has been prosecuted for receiving unsolicited emails with unmarked classified information? If not, then how is it a double standard. The double standard was that she was humiliated by the FBI director in public not once but twice while saying she didn't break any law. Comey cost her the election and you guys celebrated it but when he is going after your own, suddenly he is the bad guy. Double standard indeed.
It used to be D or N, but now I won't read any government publication until I first know if was prepared by a Trump or an Obama appointee.
It's not a government publication, transcriptions of the testimony are available on many private websites. Do you know what you are talking about?
I know what I saw, that's all I need to know. How do you think I found out cnn stages protests?
If it is longstanding DOJ policy not to confirm the existence of ongoing criminal investigations than using the word matter would be the norm,not an exception for the Clinton's.Comey took longer to confirm The FBI was investigating Trump/Russia than they did Hillarys email
You are really reaching trying to make a grand conspiracy and obstruction of justice claim over using the word matter over investigation.
What you described was a lie/distortion, you got fooled by fake news just like the so called staged protest nonsense.
