All I've seen are third-hand quotes claiming Comey said that, but there has been no audio or video evidence released. It's a case of hearsay. It wouldn't be allowed in a court of law. Don't lose hope yet.

“I think it’s important to underscore that Secretary Clinton isn’t even a target of this inquiry, investigation, whatever ‘I’ word you want to use,” Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) said.

And, I mean real evidence. Not that he-said that she-said that Comey whispered in a secret meeting sort of thing that people here take as fact.

than the head of the Party? No one has produced video or audio of this fourth-hand that Comey said that. He is biased but I don't think he is that biased.

The director said yesterday there is no such thing as a security review or security inquiry.

He slapped that right down.

Hillary lied. There never was a security review, the FBI does investigations, thus the name, Federal Bureau of Investigations.

and the goal was to make people think something less ominous sounding than an investigation was happening.

Everything that was said sort of resembles the truth if you know what the meaning of is is.

All of the excuses she has made about this are bullshit. Look you in the eye and lie to you bullshit.

The public will catch up and know all about this in due time. I don't think they're going to be happy about it.

Because the IGs do not have those kinds of powers. The FBI only does investigations, criminal investigations. I hope this clears this for you.

It was NEVER a "security review". Didn't you pay attention when Comey spoke? He said the FBI does INVESTIGATIONS. They've been on this for a year or so. IT NEVER WAS A SECURITY REVIEW.
