10. WHAT?!?

Thu Jul 7, 2016, 08:38 AM

Jul 2016

I mean...just WOW! The FBI got it wrong in front of the cameras when Comey dressed Hillary down and set her up for a news pile-on that was disgusting in it's vehemence.

I knew something like this would pop up after the fact. After the MSM had skinned her alive for NOTHING!

My niece works in IT for the Gov. and she has told me that the IT infrastructure for the entire Government... all departments is a F*ing mess of antiquated hardware and software patches that would be shameful in a mid-range business, let alone an infrastructure that is supposed to be protecting national security. Do you know why? Most of you can guess. It's because of forty years of NO NEW TAXES and hollowing out the beast. When they bragged about "Drowning the Government in the bathtub" this is what they meant. Letting the infrastructure decline to the point of collapse.

Folks are conditioned by television and Hollywood to think that our offices in the government are full of the newest computers and special gadgets like in the BOURNE movies. The real picture is actually run down and sad.

Here�s Why Hillary Clinton Isn�t a Liar and James Comey Needs to Shut the Entire Hell Up Night Watchman Jul 2016 #19

I just have to say this, because this is getting ridiculous..... markj757 Jul 2016 #20

Except for that mention in your post, "I'm voting for Hillary", the rest is exactly the argument BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #28

Actually, your making my point..... markj757 Jul 2016 #35

No. Actually I'm *disputing* your points. And taking President Obama's words out of context is yet BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #38

If quoting President Obama stating "I don't THINK it posed a national security problem" markj757 Jul 2016 #44

Your capitalization of THINK is transparent spin. We understand your agenda no matter emulatorloo Jul 2016 #54

If getting stuck on Obama's "think" word - since he could not SAY "believe" since this was still BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #59

Some will say ANYTHING to slime Democrats and promote GOP talking points against emulatorloo Jul 2016 #64

I have been a die-hard Democrat all of my life, and the only intellectually dishonest bullshit is markj757 Jul 2016 #84

Your "Well informed opinion" seems based on Fox News 'experts' and sites like Breitbart. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #85

Believe it or not, I respect and appreciate the passion in which you defend your position.... markj757 Jul 2016 #87

Ok, I want to explain some things.. And I want to apologize about something. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #91

Thank you very much markj757 Jul 2016 #97

These are some good, strong takes. PoliticalMalcontent Jul 2016 #112

I agree. 100%. eom BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #86

Which part is factually incorrect? TipTok Jul 2016 #80

Pretty much ALL of it. Read the subthread yourself. I'm not going to rehash it for you. BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #89

This is false, none of them were marked classified this is the MSM meme that Chuck Todd got.... uponit7771 Jul 2016 #31

You don't know what your talking about..... markj757 Jul 2016 #33

I do and those weren't CLEARLY marked classified, Comey just reitered there were "markings"... uponit7771 Jul 2016 #50

They did not have the usual Classified headings radical noodle Jul 2016 #103

I understand that many folks don't have experience with the security classification system... TipTok Jul 2016 #111

Comey just re-iterated that it is NOT false during this "hearing" today 7962 Jul 2016 #46

I just hear him, there were MARKINGS... the security lawyer repeated this yesterday that uponit7771 Jul 2016 #51

OK, just rewound the DVR... yes, he said MARKINGS ... not CLEARLY MARKED classified and the secuirty uponit7771 Jul 2016 #56

Again, splitting hairs. 7962 Jul 2016 #61

Nope, just said that CLINTON wouldn't know that the (C) marking would know that it was classified uponit7771 Jul 2016 #63

SHOULD KNOW isn't relevant but even using your logic Comey JUST SAID that he doesn't think that uponit7771 Jul 2016 #65

Comey just now said admitted the docs that DID have classified data wasn't properly marked ... uponit7771 Jul 2016 #75

THERE IT IS!! Comey said he wouldn't be sure that she knew (C) marking would be classified!! uponit7771 Jul 2016 #62

Again, it doesnt matter. 7962 Jul 2016 #76

It does now, Comey just said even the emails that HAD classified data in them weren't properly marke uponit7771 Jul 2016 #81

People don't understand what "classified" is. Emails with phone #s can be marked classified. haele Jul 2016 #93

Yeap, this is about what Comey is saying that people don't know how to handle classified docs in uponit7771 Jul 2016 #96

Comey's job is to make recommendations based on the law. lapucelle Jul 2016 #32

Actually, Comey cleary states some of the emails were MARKED classified, just not how many markj757 Jul 2016 #36

False, he just said there were MARKINGS... that's not CLEARLY MARKED ... and that's the sophistry uponit7771 Jul 2016 #57

I'm curious... GaYellowDawg Jul 2016 #69

I definitely take some comfort in knowing that at least what was marked classified was information markj757 Jul 2016 #90

Fair enough. GaYellowDawg Jul 2016 #92
