KAINE TO COMEY: HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN THEM?

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine called on FBI Director James Comey to publicly clarify whether anyone at the FBI has read the new batch of Hillary Clinton-related emails that appeared in a separate investigation of former congressman Anthony Weiner.

This is the republicans' M.O., along with "repeat a lie so often that it becomes the 'truth'." Lie. Smear. Cheat. It's all they know.

2. Right. If Comey hasn't seen them, how does he know they're pertinent -

warranting that letter?

CNN reporting that the FBI is in possession of Weiner's laptop and are seeking a search warrant to look at Abedin's emails that were found on it. Thousands.

This is so messed up. Comey should NEVER has released that letter.

...or at least told him to say they were.

Comey is a duplicitous piece of SHIT that just used the power of his office --AND THE POWER OF INNUENDO-- to attempt to influence one of the most important elections within the last FIFTY YEARS.

testified before the committee on impeachment. he was asked about what people said against Clinton and he kept saying that he didn't read the reports, didn't remember who told him about the reports and even finally had to admit that he did not even sit in on the questioning of Lewinsky. She just greeted her, shook hands and left the room. but then he was the one who testified before the committee on why Clinton should be impeached. In other words, patsy!!

And here I thought that Republicans had finally learned not to aim the barrel of the shotgun at their own toes.

Let's hear it for any story that gets the Democratic base so worked up in the middle of the early voting during a presidential election. Because we all know that Republicans are motivated to vote by their fear and us Dems get out to vote when we are angry, and nothing makes us angrier than a bunch of dudes in smoke filled rooms trying to steal our elections and subvert our democracy.
