In reply to the discussion: CLINTON FAILED TO HAND OVER KEY EMAIL TO STATE DEPARTMENT [View all]99th_Monkey
(19,326 posts)138. FBI Director Comey's statement was in direct response to Hillary's claim

The word "investigation" -- "its in our name, Comey responded. And Im not familiar with the term security inquiry.

That's true, but, whether there's an investigation or not, we've hitched our wagon to Hillary... not gonna change horses mid-stream. So why bother with this crap now?
