Comey Tap Dances,Steps In It,Keeps Tap Dancing Around Truth

Comey is being questioned during hearings this morning, and is very evasive about answering questions yes or no. Now on C-Span and news channels.

Links to transcripts and analysis when available.

The more this goes on the more desperate the GOP looks. That they are resorting to this cheap show is a testament to how afraid they are that they will lose in November. They've had the writing on the wall for a while now.. It's pathetic.

Unfortunately, much of the electorate now only responds to "free stuff" and not real issues. If this were a Republican, WHO DID THE SAME EXACT THINGS, they would already be under indictment at the very least, if not put away for a very long time, and certainly not a presumptive nominee. And certainly the Republicans would remove them from consideration. Even the red herring about Colin Powell or General Petraeus, or others having printed letters hidden in their house containing sensitive or secret information does not rise to this. A person who has been repeatedly praised as a genius certainly knew that her emails could be hacked by any competent hacker in the world. Powell, Petraeus, or others who as one might recall Powell is now a Democrat, parading as a Republican to annoy them, in his own words, at least hid the letters where you would have to break in and search extensively.

Powell is a MODERATE Republican... This is a concept that sadly most on the right have forgotten as they have drifted further off the map.

Powell is at most a Republican In Name Only. And this is a serious situation. To judge how serious, think what would be happening and what you would be saying if a Republican presumptive nominee had done this.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Very funny... Republicans have drifted farther to their side of the aisle since Reagan then Democrats have to the left. You guys idolize Reagan but one of his own sons wrote an op-Ed in recent months arguing he wouldn't be a Republican today... How can you pretend not to have moved when you have moved a lot?

Comey said yesterday that they did it because of "ignorance".

Try using that excuse with a cop when you're speeding...

I watched about a half hour of the hearing yesterday morning and I couldn't take any more. It was nothing more than political showboating and trying to get sound bites on the part of republicans, and a clear circling of the wagons by democrats.

There WERE legitimate questions to be asked of the FBI Director - it would have been nice to have seen those questions asked instead of long multi-minute statements that aren't even questions. And the few questions that WERE asked were designed not to get actual information, but to just try to make Hillary look bad.

I remember being equally disappointed watching the IRS Director Congressional hearings last year.

I'm starting to think Congress shouldn't be in the business of conducting any legal hearings. Leave that to those qualified to do so - lawyers.

FBI Director Comey was a surprise to me. A pleasant surprise. I often wonder where all the men are who have integrity, intelligence, and courage. I saw one when I watched and listened to him. He made his republican questioners look like small minded, petulant, frustrated game show hosts. If the GOP were smart they'd draft a man like Comey as their presidential nominee. Then they'd have a chance to win back the white house in November. Excellence resides at the FBI. And the republicans tried their damnedest to frame him as a political weasel - like all of them.

Hope you felt the same way when earlier this year he was ready to piss on your privacy rights by busting into your cell phone anytime he damn well pleased.
