been wrong -- very wrong -- if Comey had "broadcasr" his October 28, 2016 letter to Congress. But, of course, he didn't. The republicans in Congress did.

It's important that people remember things accurately. One friend here insisted he saw a bews conference where Comey announced the FBI had re-opened the investigation. Unable to convince my friend that he was simply wrong, I suggested that he find it on youtube. Obviously, he could not. Yet he remained certain he remembered something that never happened. The mind is a curious thing, and sometimes combines memories of two things as one.

Had Comey not informed Congress, he was aware that the NYC nest of retired agents -- all loyal to Rudy G -- were aware of the "new" batch of e-mails being found on the computer of the husband of a top Clinton aide, and were prepared to leak it to the news.
