Rachel's interview with Comey was like a trial scene from an old black and white movie.... [View all] kentuck Apr 2018 OP

David Frum (I hate to agree with him but he's making sense on this point, to me) said later... CincyDem Apr 2018 #1

Very insightful point by Frum, I thought. kentuck Apr 2018 #2

Right. H2O Man Apr 2018 #64

That is true but what Comey has found out with his book tour is that he has no actual Constituency. DylanUSC Apr 2018 #4

I'm not sure of the impact he had on the election? kentuck Apr 2018 #6

I think Ari Melber, Nate Silver & many others have made a good case for the effect Comey had on the DylanUSC Apr 2018 #21

Despite the damage Comey probably did do to Hillary... maddiemom Apr 2018 #27

No disagreement from me there maddiemom. My only comment on that is the electoral college is DylanUSC Apr 2018 #44

Unlikely fescuerescue Apr 2018 #60

Very true or very likely. By population it would be more of a Direct Democracy. I agree with you DylanUSC Apr 2018 #62

Thank you for this. Great post. lunamagica Apr 2018 #46

That's an excellet take on it by Ari Melber. Thanks for the post. nt Hekate Apr 2018 #59

Why did he feel compelled to publicly announce the re-opening of the email investigation? luvtheGWN Apr 2018 #32

He was surprised by the demands of the Republicans on the Judiciary and Intel Committees... kentuck Apr 2018 #36

I recall that. If he didn't disclose the Weiner laptop stuff, he would have been in contempt of 3Hotdogs Apr 2018 #39

I believe his commitment was to look at it... CincyDem Apr 2018 #47

I believe his commitment was to tell Congress if/when any addt'l emails were found ... mr_lebowski Apr 2018 #55

Comey didnt publicly announce it. He sent a top secret letter to Congress. Chaffetz leaked it. emulatorloo Apr 2018 #45

I share your doubts too about the reason HRC lost. I think it was sexism and also economic CTyankee Apr 2018 #38

Why did Hillary lose? It started with the slogan, Ready For Hillary." It reminded me of a kid gettin 3Hotdogs Apr 2018 #65

Even tho I voted for Bernie in our primary I was proud to vote for the first woman president CTyankee Apr 2018 #66

I agree.... FarPoint Apr 2018 #52

That might have been an issue if he was looking to get elected. He's selling books, and that's OnDoutside Apr 2018 #7

As they say it is an issue regarding credibility & it does not take any credibility to sell books. DylanUSC Apr 2018 #20

Yes, ironically, Comey's job was to tell the truth. A novel concept. OnDoutside Apr 2018 #37

Remember that the New York Feds would've leaked this anyway. SharonAnn Apr 2018 #61

I've agreed with David Frum PatSeg Apr 2018 #10

There used to be such a thing as smart Republicans. C_U_L8R Apr 2018 #11

So true FakeNoose Apr 2018 #16

Oh yes PatSeg Apr 2018 #19

Decent, honest, but SELF RIGHTIOUS as well. maddiemom Apr 2018 #29

Yes PatSeg Apr 2018 #57

I thought this was dead on EffieBlack Apr 2018 #40

Yes, honest as the day is long but for ONE thing, I dont think he has fully admitted Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #51

I thought the part where she connected the dots between his mentor and Lynch was great too. CincyDem Apr 2018 #3

Sort of kinda. It's smart to avoid giving ammunition to the uninformed and their shepherds. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #22

I wanted to post about this. I got rainy Apr 2018 #30

Comey did come come across as truthful. That said Brainstormy Apr 2018 #5

Except a few too many "I can't answer that" or "I'm not going to answer that" oberliner Apr 2018 #8

He was very careful not to answer anything that is still under investigation... kentuck Apr 2018 #9

yes the case is still under investigation bdamomma Apr 2018 #23

I think he maybe consulted with Mueller about releasing them? kentuck Apr 2018 #25

True, only asking bdamomma Apr 2018 #26

Their plan is to get rid of Rosenstein and Mueller. kentuck Apr 2018 #33

yea, let his bdamomma Apr 2018 #34

That's how it sounded. No real bombshell news from what Rachel was singling out eleny Apr 2018 #49

i'm watching it right now on msnbc.com barbtries Apr 2018 #13

Rachel was excellent Justice Apr 2018 #14

I wish she wasn't so melodramatic - I like her message and the information she presents, but... George II Apr 2018 #15

I thought last night was one of her finer moments. kentuck Apr 2018 #17

She was much better an interviewer than bdamomma Apr 2018 #24

As was Stephen Colbert. maddiemom Apr 2018 #31

I think you may be misreading that part of her. To me she is SO astounded that we are Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #53

Putin certainly does recommend his Russian hookers muriel_volestrangler Apr 2018 #18

Think it was David Frum that argued after on Lawrence that in Enoki33 Apr 2018 #42

I wish someone would ask Comey videohead5 Apr 2018 #28

Thank you for saying this, while you dont have to go very far at all to read Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #54

It certainly was riveting television! Like somebody else we used to have asking tough questions... FailureToCommunicate Apr 2018 #43
