Comey done. did dems go too easy on him?

Ari Melber, MSNBC legal analyst, praising Comey for his presentation.....slobbering all over him..

wonder if he'll comment on how he BOTCHED the investigation, missing the KEY emails altogether!

now, will anybody talk about what a terrible job he did, especially the editorializing?

you know the answer to that already, is my guess.

hope some dems come on and nail comey for it

during these hearings. Much better to let the gop try to discredit Comey and the fbi. This put Comey in the position of defending Hillary since the gop was trying to tie her with himself and the fbi credibility.

I think the dems played it perfectly. They can always point out issues with that investigation later on in other venues.

it's incumbent upon the dems to shout to the rooftops that there were ZERO classified docs discovered

CNN/MSNBC have not mentioned it so far

Nicole Wallace is the first pundit called upon. what a surprise

trying to paint the dems as having only the excuse that Hillary was completely incompetent to defend the fact that she should be INDICTED!

totally not true, from what I saw, which was only about an hour

what a DICK!
