In reply to the discussion: So turns out HRC didn't lie about emails, James Comey however did lie under oath [View all]yodermon
(6,153 posts)62. The whole Weiner laptop thing is FREAKING WEIRD.
Comey's quotes from testimony:
"somehow, her emails are being forwarded to Anthony Weiner, "
...
"appears to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to him,"
...
"appears to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to him,"
Those are weasel words, he is giving himself an out.
The reason?
Huma's lawyer:
Abedins lawyer issued a statement after Comeys Oct. 28 letter, saying Abedin had no idea how her exchanges with Clinton got on Weiners laptop, and no idea that they were there.
If Huma DIDN'T ACTUALLY FORWARD THEM, then how did they actually get there?
*IF* Russian hackers and/or the Trump campaign had something to do with it, could/would Comey *say so*, out loud in this testimony? OF COURSE NOT.
He couldn't even fall back on "this is classified information pertaining to an ongoing investigation" because this whole Weiner/laptop/email "thing" is supposed to be over & done with, case closed, move along.
So he said what he said, with weasel words in force.
oh, and just for kicks:

Mr. Putin, it is my surmise that some of the Russian moles inside US counter-intelligence work within the FBIs criminal division, and particularly, within the New York field office.
It is my surmise that your hacker, Nikulin, sent a command buried in a virus earlier transmitted by Formspring to wake up that old computer and either find, or place, emails from Huma Abedin on to it, and that you then contacted your moles inside the NYPD/ FBI NY and told them to suddenly find emails that, the expectation was, could not possibly be combed through in time before the election.

Head of the FBI lying under oath is causing much unwanted stress. Especially as he helped elect 45.

The head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation can't get facts straight under oath.

It's understandable, after hours of testimony. Not everyone is as smart as Hillary and Sally.

Remember that Guiliani knew about the Huma emails from his cronies in NY, and he was about to spill?

100% on the money. Comey isn't the best, but he is the best of what we can get.
