Connolly is showing Reps a taste of their own partisanship. This will end up being great for Clinton.
He was pretty critical about Clinton on Tuesday. Really stopping just short of recommending an indictment.
Now there's tape of him saying Hillary Clinton did not lie and rationalizing, explaining and giving a lot more context to the decision. Great job GOP!

Gerry Connolly is just eviscerating the Republicans argument. They're really trying to argue 3/30,000 emails being classified was her intentionally lying when she said none were

Another Paul Ryan fuck up. I seriously doubt Boehner would have greenlit this nonsense the day after no indictment.

I thought it was 110 emails marked classified and sent/received, the 3 emails were recovered from deletion
More soundbites from Comey:
I love how the Republicans are speaking in excited tones in hopes of stimulating emotional response from the public because they have very little to work with. Laughing at Comey over his ruling as if they had access to the same investigatory rules. /disgust
"No basis for concluding that she was dishonest to us."
"I don't think the agents assessed she was evasive."
"We concluded there was not adequate evidence of willful conduct [to break the law]."

Lmfaooooooo! This guy speaking now is the human incarnation of SHE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!
"That's not a crime?! What does it take!"
"...it takes mishandling it. And criminal intent."

It's extremely annoying that they think if they raise their voices during their questioning that they're going to get a different answer or really show they they're serious in their questioning.
House republicans are so stupid. They had a win but have turned it into a complete loss.

BAHAHAHAHA Comey now just said prosecuting Clinton would be unfair and treating her differently for her celebrity status.
These quotes, especially the second, are amazing. Thanks everyone for doing work on this while I'm at work working. This is incredible. How does each day keep getting better and better in this election? Republican fuckery, that's how. Good lord, I totally expected Trump to fuck this up but the actual party machinery? Nah, dog. I had no idea I could be so completely wrong. I guess hand fed talking points weren't enough for them. Comey basically shrugging and saying, well, if you're going to push and not use the talking points, I'll further exonerate her.
Question: How are there consequences levered?
Comey: I want people to understand I'm only responsible for the FBI. From disciplinary action to being reprimanded. The reasons this isn't one of those is because it's just not fair. This would be treating someone unfairly because of their celebrity status. It's not fair to prosecute that person based on these facts."

Keep digging.

I mean
they could be trying to make Clinton look good so the Trump has a worse chance of winning, and tanking the entire GOP for a generation
just a thought

Well it would be.
That's the thing, Comey isn't going to lie. He said what he wanted to say the other day, but he's going to answer everything *honestly*. I'm thinking way more democrats like the guy today than liked him yesterday.

I respected him for his words as harsh as they were but I cannot help but love him right now.
Pigeon redeemed for saying we jumped to conclusions about Comey too quickly. I still think his presentation the other day was... odd (all of the blah blah she fucked up for 15 minutes before saying no), but guy is being honest here.

Not marked appropriately according to the manual.
Ooooh boy.
"Since they weren't marked appropriately would it be reasonable for Secretary Clinton to conclude they weren't classified?"
"That would be reasonable."

Those wily Brits are trying to steal our thunder. Here we are, getting ready to elect our first woman President, and they can look down their nose at us and say, "Oh, how delightfully quaint. We had our first 37 years ago, you know; we're up to two now. But congratulations on jumping feet first into the 20th Century. Cheery bye!"

Yes, you can. This is for people who are in repayment. The 3 months is to give them time to figure out if there are better repayment options for them. I read a study that said most people who are eligible for reduced payments don't take advantage of them. This is an entry point to force people to figuring out what better options exist.

Yes, but those were recovered from the deletion iirc.
Yesterday he said that there were a bunch of marked at the time emails that were sent back and forth.
My guess is he removed the registration after he got the job from Bush.

110 where classified subjects were discussed but they didn't have classified headers, if I'm following correctly.

OOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIT
Q: Were the emails that were marked containing classified information... Were those properly marked?
Comey: No.
They didn't have a header, guys. The emails had a (C) buried deep in the body of the content, but they weren't properly marked as classified emails because all such emails begin with a required header indicating as much. This is pretty much wrapped up.

Like others have stated, I was totally against this when they announced another hearing but considering how thorough Comey is with describing every detail, and the Republican's assumption he did shoddy work; it's only showing their desperation in attacking one of their own when they have an election to lose.

No, it was 110 emails that contained information classified at the time, not marked. Three were partially marked.
110 marked classified by the agency that owns he information and 3 emails had physical (C) markings in them.

Oh.
Wow thx GOP for clearing this up
So the emails were classified at the time, but they had improper headings saying they were classified, and 3 emails had the (C) markings?
Is that where we'er at?
