In reply to the discussion: Comey's Testimony on Huma Abedin Forwarding Emails Was Inaccurate [View all]Blanks
(4,835 posts)He behaved as though 'they' were searching for Hillary's missing emails.
That was a Trump campaign issue. She deleted emails which were not submitted to the government (because they were personal emails, not because they were incriminating) she had attorneys overseeing the deletions.
He made it seem (in the hearing) as though the FBI had broad authority to seek out by any avenue possible the content of those lost emails.
OK, so Weiner's wife had inappropriately handled a couple of emails, that's what they were looking at, he had concluded his investigation of 'Hillary Clinton's emails' and had made a statement that there was nothing Hillary had done that could be prosecuted.
He made it seem like there was an ongoing investigation to find Hillary's lost emails (in the hearing) but that investigation was over. If he was investigating an improper action by Weiner's wife, it was a different investigation, and did not rise to the level of notifying congress because the candidate herself was not involved except to send emails to her COS and she had the authority to receive the emails. Hillary was doing nothing wrong, and Comey should have opened a new investigation on Weiner's wife (which he would not be able to comment on) if events unfolded as he claimed.
Comey has serious consistency issues. He can't comment on a Trump investigation, but he's investigating Weiner's laptop and he can comment on that investigation.
It's bullshit.
