Clinton’s emails for heaven’s sake
Comey has emerged from the absurd closed-door questioning the Republicans insisted on in the last few days before the Democrats bump them. He tells us they talked about Hillary Clinton’s emails for heaven’s sake – his words. He says it was stupid and didn’t need to happen. He says he can’t talk about current investigations.
Jerry Nadler, the incoming House Judiciary chair, called today's Comey interview a "fishing expedition."
He told reporters that he would officially end the investigation into Comey when he becomes Committee chair. https://t.co/prkipxdSj0

More confirmation the Jim Comey interview was stupid & a waste of taxpayer resources.
Republicans got crushed in the House, losing the popular midterm vote by the most in US history. And the lesson they draw is that voters want to hear more about Hillary's emails. S T U P I D https://t.co/ZQs1wITheM

"After a full day of questioning, two things are clear to me. One, we could have done this in open setting, and two, when you read the transcript you will see that we're talking again about Hillary Clinton's e-mails for heaven's sakes" -Ex-FBI Dir. Comey https://t.co/LTVrZd6Czb pic.twitter.com/4b4dujAi8I

Don the Con is pitching a fit.
It is being reported that Leakin' James Comey was told by Department of Justice attorneys not to answer the most important questions. Total bias and corruption at the highest levels of previous Administration. Force him to answer the questions under oath!

After you, Mr. Trump. That’s rich, considering you haven’t even released your tax rerturns yet, for heaven’s sake!
I read the first half of the transcript and then realized that it was as big a waste of my time as it was Comey’s. Not only were the Republicans asking questions about the Clinton email investigation, they were asking Comey questions about what Strzok and Page meant in their text messages. Which is a complete waste of time even from a GOP perspective, because Comey just had to give the obvious answer that “I didn’t write those message and never discussed them with him/her. I have no idea what he/she intended by that.” The only purpose was to try to score political points by implying that Strzok and Page went soft on the investigation because they were Clinton shills, but Comey had a good answer to that — if that was their intent, then why did Strzok (1) help draft Comey’s October 28 letter that may have cost Clinton the election; and (2) refrain from leaking that there was an investigation into connections between Russia and the Trump campaign?
I skimmed the transcript. Bits are really interesting. The stuff about Comey and Mueller hugging and kissing is a scream. It starts around page 61-62 I think. Not long after the bits Screechy refers to above. It serves to underline what a complete fucking habitual liar Trump is.
