57. "I am sure he knows, clearly, just where Comey is at in terms of his lack of progress"

Tue Nov 1, 2016, 08:47 PM

You're sure of it, but you're really just guessing. This is the thing you've assumed to be true that your argument seems to be based on. You don't know where Comey is. Do you think Comey is updating Reid on his progress? Do you think Comey SHOULD be updating him on his progress?

Comey has been too busy kissing GOP ass in congress? No, he's been too busy trying to cover his own ass. The Republicans are trying to put him in a spot where he's damned if he gives them updates (for talking about an ongoing investigation) and he's damned if he doesn't say anything (because his current actions don't match up with his previous testimony).

As far as doing his job, the president said he's doing just fine. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I think President Obama has a better idea what's happening than I do.

I believe that Comey might be either bribed or blackmailed. MADem Oct 2016 #3

No, he's just a Republican. That more than covers it. Coyotl Oct 2016 #6

This is not "CT." This is based on the Reid letter. MADem Oct 2016 #8

He really has that "hostage" look about him PatSeg Oct 2016 #7

He did look that way. MADem Oct 2016 #9

There is something really fishy going on PatSeg Oct 2016 #19

Maybe Putin hacked HIS email, first.... MADem Oct 2016 #20

Oh, oh PatSeg Oct 2016 #21

I don't agree with Mr Reid. malthaussen Oct 2016 #12

Reid is calling Comey out. The subtext of his comments might as well read thusly: MADem Oct 2016 #22

So Reid knows what Comey is holding back? Why doesn't he just tell us, then? hughee99 Oct 2016 #25

He did in the accusation, but until unless the FBI confirms it ThoughtCriminal Oct 2016 #27

He didn't really say what the accusation was, just that it's a "bombshell". hughee99 Oct 2016 #28

Depends on what the FBI shared - probably no more than what Reid said ThoughtCriminal Oct 2016 #31

Does the FBI even have proof of anything, or is it still an ongoing investigation? hughee99 Oct 2016 #33

David Corn just confirmed it. MADem Oct 2016 #32

I think Reid may have lost whatever political sense he has left FBaggins Oct 2016 #29

No, you're behind the news cycle. The horse has long left the barn. MADem Oct 2016 #34

According to Reid, he's been asking for the release of this information since long before hughee99 Oct 2016 #35

YEP. Not surprising, since this information has been known by the FBI and others MADem Oct 2016 #36

Based on your link above from David Corn, the FBI has launched a "preliminary inquiry". hughee99 Oct 2016 #37

I've never seen a preliminary inquiry that didn't blossom into something more. MADem Nov 2016 #38

So you think Comey should have handled both situations the same way, to keep his mouth shut until hughee99 Nov 2016 #49

He should have told Congress to pound sand about testifying re: an "open" MADem Nov 2016 #50

So you don't think he should have said anything to congress like the recent letter he sent. hughee99 Nov 2016 #51

What's with the repeated "So you..." stuff? I think I've been quite clear. MADem Nov 2016 #52

I'm trying to make sure I understand what you're saying. I'm trying not to mischaracterize your hughee99 Nov 2016 #53

Reid asked them to INVESTIGATE AND RELEASE a COMPLETED investigation. MADem Nov 2016 #54

"We've no idea if they've even gotten off the dime on that". hughee99 Nov 2016 #55

The point that wooshed by you is that Reid asked for a report on a completed investigation MADem Nov 2016 #56

"I am sure he knows, clearly, just where Comey is at in terms of his lack of progress" hughee99 Nov 2016 #57

Even the NYT is saying "WTF?" And the FBI is "demoralized" for a reason--because this guy fucked up MADem Nov 2016 #58

I'm not arguing that Comey was right to send that message to congress, although I will concede hughee99 Nov 2016 #61

We'd have to know what the "evidence" was to know how it fits into the investigation MADem Nov 2016 #62

If Comey concluded his investigation in July and made his statement, how could he claim in September hughee99 Nov 2016 #63

Sorry, I can't see how that's responsive to what I posted FBaggins Nov 2016 #40

Comey's initial action had a cascading effect. He has, in effect, spilled the jigsaw pieces MADem Nov 2016 #44

Again - we seem to be talking past each other FBaggins Nov 2016 #45

Reid didn't ask Comey to opine--read what Reid was actually asking for. MADem Nov 2016 #46

That's odd spin. What does "opine" have to do with it? FBaggins Nov 2016 #47

Are you being serious? "Opining" is what opened this bag of worms. How soon some forget! MADem Nov 2016 #48

It was? FBaggins Nov 2016 #59

It wasn't Reid's job to condemn. It was COMEY's job to stay above partisan politics. MADem Nov 2016 #60
