If I lived in San Diego I'd be there all the time. Awesome mai tais and half price pupus, plus best of all, during the happy hour (4-7 pm) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays an awesome Hawaiian musician, Desi, plays live in the lounge. He takes requests and does a beautiful rendition of my favorite song, Ku'u Lei Awapuhi. Love that place!

That way she can pretend she's back with you in paradise!

Tell me what you mean. I'm not understanding underthematrix May 2017 #5

what part do you not understand? virtualobserver May 2017 #7

You're asking if Comey should have kept the investigation on Hillary underthematrix May 2017 #9

Once the FOIA request was made, .... virtualobserver May 2017 #16

Bullshit. Violations of FOIA are not criminal violations. SunSeeker May 2017 #23

if she had forwarded all business email to an official account..... virtualobserver May 2017 #27

No, that was NOT what the controversy was about. SunSeeker May 2017 #29

"almost always" virtualobserver May 2017 #31

Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice used private email on unsecured server (gmail). SunSeeker May 2017 #33

"going to the trouble of setting up a secured private server"..... virtualobserver May 2017 #40

So now you've abandoned your initial claim the whole mess was over the 60-day requirement? SunSeeker May 2017 #42

Look at that persons journal. All will be explained. William769 May 2017 #47

LOL. Indeed. SunSeeker May 2017 #48

Fantastic posts Sunseeker! :) JHan May 2017 #52

I'm not actually defending Condi or Colin. virtualobserver May 2017 #53

Oh yes you are, all while attacking Hillary with right wing talking points. SunSeeker May 2017 #55

Comey did not tilt the race from a narrow victory to a narrow defeat. He dramatically reshaped StevieM May 2017 #58

Absolutely. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #63

she turned them in on paper which slowed the process down tremendously virtualobserver May 2017 #70

Bullshit. You are repeating Judicial Watch/right wing talking points. SunSeeker May 2017 #74

Comey said that the FBI doesn't do "security inquiries" virtualobserver May 2017 #77

What Comey said was "We do investigations, not security inquiries." He was fussing over semantics. SunSeeker May 2017 #81

He was right virtualobserver May 2017 #82

He was an asshole. The correct answer was "no comment." nt SunSeeker May 2017 #84

"Colin Powell and top staffers for Condoleezza Rice received classified information through personal Cha May 2017 #98

Thanks, Cha! She should go to the Bali Hai on Shelter Island for their happy hour. SunSeeker May 2017 #104

Nope.. you're NOT going to get away with Cha May 2017 #95

I'm not trying to blame Hillary for everything..... virtualobserver May 2017 #96

Yes you are. Bill did NOT force Comey to violate FBI policy. SunSeeker May 2017 #100

Seriously? Bill was "fishing for clues from AG Lynch?" Talk about a right-wing talking point. StevieM May 2017 #113

Thank you for pointing that out. With all the focus on Comey's disgusting July press conference, StevieM May 2017 #62

I think he had to know he would have an effect on the election. Baitball Blogger May 2017 #8

I don't agree. I think that he was in an impossible situation. virtualobserver May 2017 #10

So you have no problem with Comey using fake emails DURHAM D May 2017 #12

he didn't "use" them. He ended the investigation.... virtualobserver May 2017 #18

He used them to judge her and condemn her because of his own bias. DURHAM D May 2017 #20

He was put in an impossible situation virtualobserver May 2017 #24

Comey did NOT "explain the FBI investigation." He spent his press conference bashing Hillary. SunSeeker May 2017 #32

Bill Clinton made the mistake. Comey had to deal with it. virtualobserver May 2017 #35

Comey didn't "deal with it." He just made another, much worse, mistake. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #36

it was a no win situation, caused by Bill Clinton virtualobserver May 2017 #41

No, Comey violated ethics, due to his attempt to curry favor with the right wing. SunSeeker May 2017 #43

Bill Clinton created the appearance of improper influence just as Comey was about to announce..... virtualobserver May 2017 #44

You are wrong. DURHAM D May 2017 #46

No, Comey knew that the emails were fake virtualobserver May 2017 #49

Clear, concise and to the point. Thank you. That is a rare combination these days. n/t rzemanfl May 2017 #51

Why would Comey revealing the emails were fake expose US methods? SunSeeker May 2017 #54

The fake email was not known publicly, and was intercepted from Russian sources virtualobserver May 2017 #69

But IF THE RUSSIANS "LEAKED" THE EMAILS Comey would not have to explain how he got them. SunSeeker May 2017 #71

If they leaked the emails and Comey did not dispute them....People would believe... virtualobserver May 2017 #73

Why would the FBI have to reveal where they got it in order to prove it was fake? SunSeeker May 2017 #75

+1 JudyM May 2017 #13

If think this can be easily resolved if Comey can produce MEMOS underthematrix May 2017 #99

I'm glad someone on our side Mme. Defarge May 2017 #14

I'm sad someone on our side SunSeeker May 2017 #25

Shameful! ananda May 2017 #2

I agree with you 100% still_one May 2017 #38

It was a coup and we had treason Botany May 2017 #3

And the coup cannot be blamed on Donald Trump. It was done by the entire GOP through a corrupt FBI. StevieM May 2017 #59

You know who was extremely careless? Baitball Blogger May 2017 #6

Where does Obama sit in all this? LisaM May 2017 #11

He imposed sanctions and preserved evidence Juliusseizure May 2017 #19

It had an effect in July - her numbers went down. LisaM May 2017 #21

Yes, I feel that not only did no one have her back, no one had the country's back. SunSeeker May 2017 #37

Agree with that a million percent. n/t LisaM May 2017 #39

CNN title is flat wrong. He acted "because" it was fake; he did NOT act ON it. Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #15

I think you are right. Plus Comey seemed disgusted by Donald/Russia collusion Madam45for2923 May 2017 #78

This is all very confusing Catherine Vincent May 2017 #17

I'm with you GusBob May 2017 #28

Thank you!! I thought it was just me. hamsterjill May 2017 #45

That is because there is no link. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #57

That is because bullshit excuses usually are. Comey made a huge mistake. SunSeeker May 2017 #56

Calling it a mistake is very charitable. Comey made wrong decision after wrong decision. StevieM May 2017 #60

Yep. I see you didn't fall for Comey's half-baked silly excuses either. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #61

Nope. And I never will. I am scared that people will allow Trump's antipathy towards Comey StevieM May 2017 #64

Exactly. The best thing that could now happen to the Republican Party is if they did a Trumpectomy. SunSeeker May 2017 #65

Bottom line,he KNEW the Russians were meddling and did nothing.... Bengus81 May 2017 #22

He did worse than nothing. SunSeeker May 2017 #67

Yup. ucrdem May 2017 #97

Which US officials frogmarch May 2017 #26

I don't get it Juliusseizure May 2017 #30

He wasn't basing his actions on speculative political fallout virtualobserver May 2017 #50

Why would Comey have to publicly reveal he had fake emails "from the Russians"? SunSeeker May 2017 #68

step one - Bill Clinton meets with AG Lynch on the Tarmac virtualobserver May 2017 #72

No, revealing sources is NOT "the only way to refute" the emails. SunSeeker May 2017 #76

almost every method of discovering the sender is considerably unreliable. virtualobserver May 2017 #79

The FBI does not have to reveal the sender to show the email is fake. SunSeeker May 2017 #80

Explain to me how you prove that an email did not come from a purported sender virtualobserver May 2017 #83

Everything a computer/server does leaves an electronic trail, whether you erase it or not. SunSeeker May 2017 #85

No trail is not proof. It just means you couldn't find it. virtualobserver May 2017 #86

No. The FBI would find its trail if the email existed. SunSeeker May 2017 #87

sorry...finding nothing isn't proof virtualobserver May 2017 #88

Yes it is proof, if you knew what you were talking about. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #91

companies delete archived emails for liablity reasons all the time virtualobserver May 2017 #92

Yes there is. Emails have a date and time signature. SunSeeker May 2017 #93

the entire trail can be erased virtualobserver May 2017 #94

Not in this instance. They would have to basically wipe the server, which would be obvious. SunSeeker May 2017 #102

You want the FBI to bring in forensics experts into the DNC to "investigate" virtualobserver May 2017 #103

No, what was a waste of FBI resources was the whole Hillary email witch hunt. nt SunSeeker May 2017 #105

Yes. We might be living in a different world if she hadn't set up that server. virtualobserver May 2017 #106

No, we'd be living in a different world if fellow progressives did not repeat right wing propaganda. SunSeeker May 2017 #107

I'd like it if fellow progressives were not hell bent on attacking Comey, who has protected us.... virtualobserver May 2017 #108

OFFS. How did Comey "protect us from Trump" when he gave Trump the win? SunSeeker May 2017 #109

Bill Clinton publicly compromises AG Lynch, but its Comey's fault when he is forced to prove..... virtualobserver May 2017 #110

Boy, it's a noun, a verb and Clinton with you isn't it? Comey wasn't forced to do anything. SunSeeker May 2017 #111

it isn't Comey's job to fix the self inflicted damage.... virtualobserver May 2017 #112

There was no tactical error, other, perhaps, than failing to figure out how to best StevieM May 2017 #115

Bill appearing on the Tarmac compromised the AG....the FBI works for the AG virtualobserver May 2017 #117

Comey absolutely did have a choice and he absolutely made the wrong one. (eom) StevieM May 2017 #119

Obviously, I disagree....so I'll leave it at that. virtualobserver May 2017 #120

No one asked Comey to "fix" anything. It IS Comey's job to comply with FBI rules. SunSeeker May 2017 #116

His ultimate job is to protect the reputation of the FBI from the appearance of political influence virtualobserver May 2017 #118

Are you for real? No, his "ultimate job" is not to protect the FBI's reputation. SunSeeker May 2017 #121

FBI policies are not the Constitution virtualobserver May 2017 #122

That is because there is nothing to get. This latest Comey excuse is total bullshit. SunSeeker May 2017 #66

Agree completely Juliusseizure May 2017 #89

Exactly. And none of the emails on the laptop were new to the FBI. SunSeeker May 2017 #90

The most Honorable Comey needs to be in jail... Alice11111 May 2017 #101

Well said. (eom) StevieM May 2017 #114
