When you're able to both convince 1/3 of the country that you're the best person for the hardest job on the planet, but at the same time clueless as to the security parameters of the job you've signed off as being trained on. Oh, and it doesn't hurt to have 100 billion dollars to throw around from your Foundation slush fund and quite possibly hit men on retainer.
I'm not taking away anything from the insane recent murders of two inocent african american men at the hands of the police, but why was that brought up here?
Taureg. If this is your conclusion from what Mr Comey said, then you did not listen carefully enough / are prejudiced, and do not understand the applicable law.
Im still watching this interview. But whats striking to me and very obvious is, how can he say based on her "interview" he's come to the conclusion that any reasonable prosecutor would not move forward when he himself has ADMITTED to not going over all the details of the interview itself? How can you conclude that theres no case when you can't even answer basic questions that are put to you because you actually don't know? How does that make sense? So you've concluded based off of information you DO NOT have that there is no case? Second, is it reasonable to believe that Mr Clinton and the Mrs Lynch's private meeting could've been to inform him of some of the more complicated questions, so that he could later brief/prep Mrs Clinton for her interview on the 4th? I'm no lawyer but I can easily draw that conclusion, in my view its conflict of interest, and worse if my suspicion is true, its CORRUPTION. I'll keep watching but I'm hoping someone makes mention of how that logically makes no sense.
"Gross negligence" was at issue because the FBI didn't have the balls to call her out for what she actually did: intentionally break the law. There is nothing "convenient" about sneaking a private server into your bathroom. This wasn't a case of "carelessness" She went to great lengths and took great care to conceal her crime. But she got caught anyway and smugly announced it's not "remotely possible' for her to be prosecuted. She knows the establishment won't touch her. She is the antithesis of democracy and justice. I'd rather see Trump in the White House than Hillary. She is more dangerous. A Trump presidency will fuel this incipient revolution. And his choices will be checked and constrained by Congress. Clinton, on the other hand, gets away with murder and will continue to as president. Bernie better get this message loud and clear before a lot of his supporters turn on him. If he gets too close to her, they will, myself included.
+lucifer lambew let me clarify my statement. I believe they will not prosecute Hillary knowing that will pave the way to Victory for Trump. Republicans at this point will take Hillary over Trump. In my opinion.
WTF are you talking about. He stated several times over precisely why they weren't able to charge over the evidence they found and further embellished this explanation with his experience in the DOJ. You speak as someone who clearly didn't watch the full committee.
Just another soul to add to the traitors list of this country. Why do you think they built this guy up to be so great? So you wouldn't dare tare him down.
FBI Director Comey is a registered Republican. He could not find anything criminal. Big crybaby Trump can't accept the truth.
8 лет назад+2
HE IS CORRUPT! THE PROOF OF HILLARYS CONSTANT LYING IS PROOF ! since when is ignorance of the law permissible to then break the law. Colmy is trying to insinuate she is an idiot not a criminal. Boy did he got hoodwinked
She should be ashamed of herself ,I Am. If this was a Republican they were investigating she wouldn't being saying this. Shame on this Dem.from Michigan.
Comey creditability seems absurb! Comey should be removed from being Director of the FBI. His decision are double standard and he seems not to know much of what is being represented.
How come no one in this venue ever asked the question "Mr Director, did you or any of your team ask Secretary Clinton if she had ever received or sent classified information on her private server", If she answered no, would you have have recommended a grand jury investigation for perjury. If you did not ask that question, why?
The next time a police officer pulls you over for speeding try saying, "Yes Officer, I knew I was 10 MPH over the speed limit, I kept going 10 MPH over the speed limit, but I didn't intend to go 10 MPH over the speed limit" Please report back to us how well that works out.
As soon as he answered "Yes" to the question "Did Hillary Clinton give non cleared personnel access to classified information?", someone should have put cuffs on him.
Can someone please when you get to 106:58 107:00 tell me if something is missing….He's answering a good question then it seems to jump…Behind him at this time a guy has his phone up and then he does not bring it down its just gone and he never finished the answer…
I'm still soaking this in. How is this real? What has happened with this case will being one of the biggest known scandals 10 years from now. Let's hope history truly doesn't repeat itself. God Bless America.
what happened at 1:06:50 ? Just the question I always wondered about!There's a skip/edit in the video right where I particularly wanted an answer. Why did she delete the emails right after the Benghazi attack?Did she delete the emails because the Embassader wrote requesting a security detail (several times), so there would be no record of these dead Americans begging for help?Did she delete emails because it would show her writing to the Ellen show and setting up her social media appointments? All while ignoring the pleas of our American diplomats, because it would further legitimize their partner's goals in starting a political vacuum then war with Lybia?James Comey, you have solidified my belief that there is absolutely no difference between a Republican or Democrat. They both bat for the same team, and have all of your kind in their pockets. You had a chance to blow the lid off one of the most corrupt administrations in the history of the United States, instead you did what you were told and swept it under the rug.If Hillary WAS charged as she should have been, she would not have gone down by herself. She would be pointing her finger at EVERYBODY that was involved with her scheming plots, right up to and including Obama himself.Shame on you Commy. Thanks to you, America's super fahked.
There are two statutes of U.S. Code that govern perjury before Congress. Section 1621 of Title 18, often called the “general perjury” statute, prohibits individuals from lying to Congress while under oath, while Section 1001, also known as the “false statement” statute, covers testimony given while not under oath. A person convicted of perjury could face fines up to $100,000 or up to five years in jail, or both.
Jake Smith Hillary Clinton has lost And what an emotional cost Her supporters are crying And some feel like dying Because Trump beat that bitch like a boss!
M Wills You must have no life to create such a pointless poem. We will go no where and her supporters aren't crying. They're mobilizing. And they don't feel like dying. Hillary won the popular vote.
Comey presents himself very, very well. I like his attitude of "we cannot prove it was malicious", which is followed by "we can prove it was at least incompetence". If Trump is smart, Comeys words about incompetence, an agent doing same thing would be fired,etc... will play from now till November.
Here's my question for Comey: "Why would Hillary Clinton just come out and admit to criminal intent? She's running for President of the United States, and has everything to lose by doing so."
No matter what your political views, if you don't see there's one set of rules for people like Clinton and one for the rest of us, you aren't being honest with yourself.
where does everyone in the background look either smug, amused, or purely distracted? why even be there if you're not interested in the proceedings? it seems like most of them just want to look at themselves on camera.
IF she is NOT found guilty then our fbi and congress are in gross negligence and should be charged as such and removed from office for compromising the American citizens' trust!!! WE need to file a lawsuit to that effect !!!
So, because nobody else prosecuted cases remotely such as this, he decided not to. So, if there were prosecutions, he would have considered recommending prosecution? I don't think so!
The congresswoman that diatribes about what are the rules of classified information and then insinuating that all federal employees have some classified information on their personal email has never had to answer for breaches of security by federal employees. People don't get slapped on the wrist they get fired or worse. It matters not whether the person new better, ignorance is no excuse of the law, the consequences are generally the same.
Questions, Mr. Director, we have questions. #1 Mr. Comey, you said that you did not take into account "public statements" which contradict your findings(i.e., the statements can be shown to be false public statements). Why ignore them? #2 Mr. Comey, you said that you did not take into account statements made to Congress under oath on this very issue because of not having a referral and respecting separation of powers. Since your team determined that the law was clearly broken excepting for perhaps lacking the requisite criminal intent . . . . . . if you were to receive a referral from a member of Congress concerning statements made under oath which serve as basis to show that Hillary Clinton either lied to Congress, or lied to the FBI . . . . . . will you investigate that? And if found to be factual, will you prosecute lying to Congress or lying to the FBI? And would you reopen the email server investigation to reevaluate the criminal intent aspect of that case?
Mr. Comey: I watched your interview with my representative, who was questioning you, on the news couple of days ago. You mentioned that Hilary Clinton should be exonerated and not convicted. You had the audacity to insult my representative by saying insolently: “LOOK AT MY EYES AND LISTEN TO ME!!!” With all due respect to your position, I would like to remind you how the constitution works in case you have forgotten. FBI is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for carrying the orders of the DOJ. Therefore, I don’t understand the reason you explicitly undermine the constitution and abuse your power. Since the Jewish lobby has announced its unanimous support for Secretary Clinton, I hope they are not running you. Therefore, as a patriot American, if you are, you are supposed to be obedient of the constitution and only enforce the law. It seems like the justice department in following your order and Clinton was not scrutinized. Are you a scar crow or the judiciary system is corrupt? Definitely both.
This public servant has a habit of not having high officials (Bush, Cheney & Hillary) to be in under oath while testifying.I have witnessed a treacherous traitor betray the American public and I'm upset with the lack of respect shown to the white stripes within our country's flag. This man has single handily put a stumbling block on the people of United States of America.
The state of the american people saddens me. This has been up for 7 hours, and there has been 3,229 views... I wish the American people were more concerned about their country to tune in to something like this.
Anyone listening to this should note the following: 1. All members of Congress, including the chair of this committee, use personal email systems, and all have access to classified information. One member states that there should be legislation to stop this, and to have the same standards apply to the legislative branch as apply to the executive branch. To do otherwise is hypocritical, and if Congress were subjected to FBI investigation, all of them would be guilty of doing exactly what Clinton did. The rules should apply to all branches of the government to protect us. 2. Colin Powell used AOL server to transmit classified information. He has been asked to turn over emails and has not complied. Why is he not under investigation? 3. FBI stated clearly that Clinton did not lie to them under oath, yet some of my friends deny this. It is clearly in this interview. 4. This committe has now asked for an investigation of whether Clinton lied when she was interviewed by their committee. FBI agreed to take it on. We don't know the outcome of that since it is still in progress. Whatever the finding, I, for one, will respect it, even if it means that Bernie is the new nominee for Democrats. Quite frankly, he has a better chance of winning than Clinton does, so this committee should be careful what it asks for since they might get it. 5. Obviously, the Secretary of State's office has some problems in classifying information and in how that information is transmitted. Surely the department should be made to come up with some standards that are enforced in the future. I think that this statement is about as non-partisan a statement as anyone on this issue has made. 6. This whole Bengazi/email extravaganza has taken more time and money than the combined investigation of the Kennedy assasination and the 911 Terrorist attack. Eight separate congressional investigations have been done on Bengazi alone, and tens of thousands of tax dollars have been spent--not to mention the time of a do-nothing Congress. 7. Why we as a people don't hold Congress responsible for Bengazi is beyond me, since the State Department asked for more funds to guard our embassies BEFORE Begazi but turned down the request for funding. No Secretary of State can defend our interests abroad without adequate funding, and to blame ANY Sec of State, Republican or Democrat, for failure to defend when they are not adequately funded is insidious.
1:57:10 Now this and the questions beforehand are probably the most important questions ever, and the fact that Director Comey answered to them "no" is all in all very concerning as a young American. The fact that they couldn't record or have a transcript, and that they didn't ask her these questions under oath is scary.
How are they "not able to interview" some of them? Isn't this the US government? If they had a question for any of us, could we just indefinitely decline an interview?
I used to work at the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson AFB. Classified information at the Top Secret level was supposed to remain always within the SCIF-rated secure part of the building. If I so much as took a TS document outside that area I might have been arrested by the security guards; I would, at the least, have been required to turn around and return the document to secure storage. If I didn't comply, I'd be either shot or apprehended and arrested. If I left the building while carrying TS in an unauthorized manner, I'd probably have been arrested and charged with espionage, which might be downgraded subsequently to a charge of criminal negligence. Hillary put it on her privately owned unsecure computer, in her home, and sent bits of it to other people by email, and neither the FBI Director nor the Attorney General wants to prosecute her at all. What makes Hillary Clinton so darn special? I haven't heard this question so far in the hearing. _"Mr. Comey, did anyone in the government express to you-prior to your giving your recommendation to the Attorney General about whether or not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information-a preference with regard to what your recommendation should be?"_ A Democratic congresswoman asked Comey whether there was any political bias in the FBI investigation, and Comey said that there was none. I agree. The FBI investigation, itself, was competently done, apparently without bias. But the investigation's procedures and findings are one thing; the FBI's recommendation to the Justice Department is something else. And I see a disconnect between those two things. The investigation, properly done as it was, found enough evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton to require her to be prosecuted. Although other people might have broken the laws more egregiously than Hillary Clinton did, it is nonetheless clear that Hillary Clinton broke laws egregiously enough to be prosecuted. The bias, then, isn't in the FBI's investigation. The bias is in the recommendation that followed the investigation. If it can possibly be done, James Comey should be investigated in regard to whether or not his recommendation to the Department of Justice was based on corrupt considerations. Did he bow to pressure, and, if so, whose? Does he have any personal reason to show Mrs. Clinton improper favor? The Romans knew about this kind of difficulty and expressed it as "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" The no-prosecution recommendation by James Comey reminds me somewhat of the no-prosecution recommendation by the Solicitor of the 10th Judicial Circuit in South Carolina with regard to the police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old driver of a Honda Civic in a Hardee's restaurant parking lot last year. The dashcam video gives evidence that the shooting was unnecessary and that the officer began lying about the circumstances about five seconds after his shots were fired. A reasonable person watching that video would probably think that the officer should be prosecuted and let a court decide the question of guilt, the seriousness of the crime, and the severity of the appropriate punishment. But in cases like this, people in power will put themselves _in the way_, just because they can and because they have an unexpressed reason for doing it.
As I watch this... he answers the tough questions, i.e. did she receive and transmit classified emails on a NON classified server in a way that makes you think, it was no big deal. He CLEARLY has an agenda to keep her viable for the election. That makes him unworthy of his position.
When did ignorance of the law become a valid defense?
Exactly the same question I am asking? This is absolutely insane
i got my shirt took away at the airport for the same shit, funny you can't bring anything in my country with a weed leaf on it lol
it is now
When you're able to both convince 1/3 of the country that you're the best person for the hardest job on the planet, but at the same time clueless as to the security parameters of the job you've signed off as being trained on. Oh, and it doesn't hurt to have 100 billion dollars to throw around from your Foundation slush fund and quite possibly hit men on retainer.
When the Democrat party was formed?
what ever happened to ignorance of the law is no excuse?
Possibly the first FBI investigation in history where the FBI director had to testify under oath and the target didn't.
Confront their accuser but when not named still a doe one never knows till it happens. they will run out of voters and jurors soon enough.
I'm not taking away anything from the insane recent murders of two inocent african american men at the hands of the police, but why was that brought up here?
Distraction and sh*t stirring.
@Luis - Exactly, what the heck was that all about?
same
the lady around the 30 minute mark was so frustrating too listen too. my fucking god, SPIT IT OUT WOMAN!!!!!!!
Because they want to distract the attention from Hillary... by making people angry, and violent! Very unwise, but strategic...
So according to the FBI I can break the law but get off scott free if I am ignorant of the law. This sets a great precedent, thanks Director Comey.
Taureg. If this is your conclusion from what Mr Comey said, then you did not listen carefully enough / are prejudiced, and do not understand the applicable law.
The whole room says guilty as charged but fbi dude is hiding something
Im still watching this interview. But whats striking to me and very obvious is, how can he say based on her "interview" he's come to the conclusion that any reasonable prosecutor would not move forward when he himself has ADMITTED to not going over all the details of the interview itself? How can you conclude that theres no case when you can't even answer basic questions that are put to you because you actually don't know? How does that make sense? So you've concluded based off of information you DO NOT have that there is no case?
Second, is it reasonable to believe that Mr Clinton and the Mrs Lynch's private meeting could've been to inform him of some of the more complicated questions, so that he could later brief/prep Mrs Clinton for her interview on the 4th? I'm no lawyer but I can easily draw that conclusion, in my view its conflict of interest, and worse if my suspicion is true, its CORRUPTION. I'll keep watching but I'm hoping someone makes mention of how that logically makes no sense.
Shame on you Comey!!!!!!!!! Again double standards for the Powerful,
intent is irrellivant
LOL FUCKING REKT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Wrecked.
"Spelling is important, though."
aaaaaaaaaand Hector's a noob to the Internet
welcome to the Internet kid, where you'll get PHUKKIN' REKT JUST AS YOU DID!!!
L O L ! ~
jaja jajaja Would like some chips for that salt?
So then guys what do think to this pricks decision.
"Gross negligence" was at issue because the FBI didn't have the balls to call her out for what she actually did: intentionally break the law. There is nothing "convenient" about sneaking a private server into your bathroom. This wasn't a case of "carelessness" She went to great lengths and took great care to conceal her crime. But she got caught anyway and smugly announced it's not "remotely possible' for her to be prosecuted. She knows the establishment won't touch her. She is the antithesis of democracy and justice. I'd rather see Trump in the White House than Hillary. She is more dangerous. A Trump presidency will fuel this incipient revolution. And his choices will be checked and constrained by Congress. Clinton, on the other hand, gets away with murder and will continue to as president. Bernie better get this message loud and clear before a lot of his supporters turn on him. If he gets too close to her, they will, myself included.
I believe its a Conspiracy against Trump, not so much to protect Hillary.
Ofcourse not. Democrat voters hate Clinton. Her not being indicted pushes at least 50% of bernie supports to trump.
+lucifer lambew let me clarify my statement. I believe they will not prosecute Hillary knowing that will pave the way to Victory for Trump. Republicans at this point will take Hillary over Trump. In my opinion.
No respect for this human. Nothing like declining in your profession. All those years in the FBI and reduced to a sad puppet. Wasted years.
WTF are you talking about. He stated several times over precisely why they weren't able to charge over the evidence they found and further embellished this explanation with his experience in the DOJ. You speak as someone who clearly didn't watch the full committee.
No carelessness, just blatant destruction of State Dept Records. This poor guy looks gutted.
Wtf is the lady at 33:00 talking about she is just rambling on
Shes a Democrat! Eleanor Holmes Norton is the most ignorant person in all of Congress. Correction, on the planet earth.
Comey is thinking, someone give me a fucking gun!
She doesn't know what classified mail is how to handle it, so she's asking Comey how to do it! So rich!
The only reason I would be okay with his recommendation is if he slams her on the Clinton Foundation investigation!
This guy sounds more like a defense attorney instead of the investigator. What a joke our justice system has become.
obviously the system is rigged, after watching this act twice.
too many I don't know, they should have the ones who questioned her
Got him 1:12:00 - 1:22:00 shows his incompetence its a scam!
sell out....
boo hoo....
castroy64
So, you're thin-skinned and victimy. And???
Just another soul to add to the traitors list of this country. Why do you think they built this guy up to be so great? So you wouldn't dare tare him down.
more like a monster tbh
FBI Director Comey is a registered Republican. He could not find anything criminal. Big crybaby Trump can't accept the truth.
HE IS CORRUPT! THE PROOF OF HILLARYS CONSTANT LYING IS PROOF !
since when is ignorance of the law permissible to then break the law. Colmy is trying to insinuate she is an idiot not a criminal. Boy did he got hoodwinked
Garbage! People were put to jail for " intent to attempt to distribute!"
She was careless about classified information and you wan her to be our commander and chief? NO.
She should be ashamed of herself ,I Am. If this was a Republican they were investigating she wouldn't being saying this. Shame on this Dem.from Michigan.
Who's that egghead, 8 ball, behind Comey?
The guy you see to the right of him is Mark Halperin. He is the senior political analyst for MSNBC and Bloomberg news. ie a liberal hack.
An observer
Hillary, is not ignorant ! She knows the laws and she knew exactly what she was DOING.
Comey creditability seems absurb! Comey should be removed from being Director of the FBI. His decision are double standard and he seems not to know much of what is being represented.
BS, Shame on you FBI
So if I murder someone with a gun, and say I didn't know what I wasa doing, would I get off? I don't think so!!!!! Very sad.
And the Federal Government Is actually Paying this Person, to be the Leader of the "FBI"????????????????????????????
The fix is in!
4 hours ..damn
How can any logical person vote for her.
Why hasn't Comey stepped down if he won't or can't do his job?
How come no one in this venue ever asked the question "Mr Director, did you or any of your team ask Secretary Clinton if she had ever received or sent classified information on her private server", If she answered no, would you have have recommended a grand jury investigation for perjury. If you did not ask that question, why?
I second that...
he would have just said the same intent shit
"She committed the crime, I just don't want to be the one to take her to court."
The next time a police officer pulls you over for speeding try
saying, "Yes Officer, I knew I was 10 MPH over the speed limit, I kept
going 10 MPH over the speed limit, but I didn't intend to go 10 MPH over
the speed limit"
Please report back to us how well that works out.
Didn't work
As soon as he answered "Yes" to the question "Did Hillary Clinton give non cleared personnel access to classified information?", someone should have put cuffs on him.
Can someone please when you get to 106:58 107:00 tell me if something is missing….He's answering a good question then it seems to jump…Behind him at this time a guy has his phone up and then he does not bring it down its just gone and he never finished the answer…
I'm still soaking this in. How is this real? What has happened with this case will being one of the biggest known scandals 10 years from now. Let's hope history truly doesn't repeat itself. God Bless America.
emails I wonder how much taxpayers dollar were spent on this email scandal
They knew it was wrong you knew it was wrong . The FBI director needs to step down for incompetence I do think weasel words fit James Comey perfectly
Why didn't they ask about Hillary's heavy drug use?
IF THEY LIE - THEY KNOW THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. LOCK HER UP!!!
Bull
If he wanted more evidence all he had to do was ask Wikileaks.
I always thought that "Ignorance of the law is not an excuse " ........Wow...now we will have 8 years of "Is she telling the truth" ??
So that's why other countries laugh at us!
Uphold the constitution and jail Hillary Clinton.
What a bunch of bull!!!!
what happened at 1:06:50 ? Just the question I always wondered about!There's a skip/edit in the video right where I particularly wanted an answer. Why did she delete the emails right after the Benghazi attack?Did she delete the emails because the Embassader wrote requesting a security detail (several times), so there would be no record of these dead Americans begging for help?Did she delete emails because it would show her writing to the Ellen show and setting up her social media appointments? All while ignoring the pleas of our American diplomats, because it would further legitimize their partner's goals in starting a political vacuum then war with Lybia?James Comey, you have solidified my belief that there is absolutely no difference between a Republican or Democrat. They both bat for the same team, and have all of your kind in their pockets. You had a chance to blow the lid off one of the most corrupt administrations in the history of the United States, instead you did what you were told and swept it under the rug.If Hillary WAS charged as she should have been, she would not have gone down by herself. She would be pointing her finger at EVERYBODY that was involved with her scheming plots, right up to and including Obama himself.Shame on you Commy. Thanks to you, America's super fahked.
I lost my faith in the FBI Director, James Comey in his decision that what he calls transparent.
Everyone is saying guilty and this dude is saying no prosecution? WT Heck is going on.. Hillary for Prison 2016!
There are two statutes of U.S. Code that govern perjury before Congress. Section 1621 of Title 18, often called the “general perjury” statute, prohibits individuals from lying to Congress while under oath, while Section 1001, also known as the “false statement” statute, covers testimony given while not under oath. A person convicted of perjury could face fines up to $100,000 or up to five years in jail, or both.
Trump for Prison. Look at his taxes. Oh wait he won't release them all.
Jake Smith... he did! It was in Hilary's deleted emails lol
Jake Smith
Hillary Clinton has lost
And what an emotional cost
Her supporters are crying
And some feel like dying
Because Trump beat that bitch like a boss!
M Wills You must have no life to create such a pointless poem. We will go no where and her supporters aren't crying. They're mobilizing. And they don't feel like dying. Hillary won the popular vote.
Comey presents himself very, very well. I like his attitude of "we cannot prove it was malicious", which is followed by "we
can prove it was at least incompetence".
If Trump is smart, Comeys words about incompetence, an agent doing same thing would be fired,etc... will play from now till November.
Comey has no honor.
Broken system beyond repair
Somebody slap me, Hillary's tactics are working. I'm starting to get tired of this scandal
we the people will decide if Hilary should be President in November
Here's my question for Comey: "Why would Hillary Clinton just come out and admit to criminal intent? She's running for President of the United States, and has everything to lose by doing so."
thanks for sharing Bloomberg Politics
No matter what your political views, if you don't see there's one set of rules for people like Clinton and one for the rest of us, you aren't being honest with yourself.
where does everyone in the background look either smug, amused, or purely distracted? why even be there if you're not interested in the proceedings? it seems like most of them just want to look at themselves on camera.
Jim Comey you sold out you had all the pieces that you needed to solve the puzzle but you chose not to
The bottom line is they didn't question her under oath. Which is hard to believe.
He's just the fall guy. Sick.
What you should learn is to be coherent
Let's start by getting some of these people out of office.
I don't think Rep. Lewis has a IQ over 85
More FBI BS......
nothing to see here and make sure you look the other way
If you notice at "14:07," the interviewer blurts out: "get out of town." ???
Interrogation of chief the interrogator...He thinks he is a prosecutor and the judge!
Determining "a reasonable doubt" is NOT his job!
thank you for your dilligence Mr Comey
THIS GUY DOES NOT KNOW A LOT GIVEN HE AND 100 INVESTIGATORS HAD A YEAR TO INVESTIGATE!!
So we don't prosecute someone because it is too hard....
IF she is NOT found guilty then our fbi and congress are in gross negligence and should be charged as such and removed from office for compromising the American citizens' trust!!! WE need to file a lawsuit to that effect !!!
They think Americans are so stupid ! Unbelievable. She should not be allowed to run for President !
So, because nobody else prosecuted cases remotely such as this, he decided not to. So, if there were prosecutions, he would have considered recommending prosecution? I don't think so!
H. Clinton would fit as a president in Ukraine, Ghana or Azerbaijan.
The congresswoman that diatribes about what are the rules of classified information and then insinuating that all federal employees have some classified information on their personal email has never had to answer for breaches of security by federal employees. People don't get slapped on the wrist they get fired or worse. It matters not whether the person new better, ignorance is no excuse of the law, the consequences are generally the same.
Questions, Mr. Director, we have questions.
#1 Mr. Comey, you said that you did not take into account "public
statements" which contradict your findings(i.e., the statements can be
shown to be false public statements). Why ignore them?
#2 Mr. Comey, you said that you did not take into account statements
made to Congress under oath on this very issue because of not having a
referral and respecting separation of powers.
Since your team determined that the law was clearly broken excepting for
perhaps lacking the requisite criminal intent . . .
. . . if you were to receive a referral from a member of Congress concerning statements made under oath which serve as basis to show that Hillary Clinton either lied to Congress, or lied to the FBI . . .
. . . will you investigate that? And if found to be factual, will you prosecute lying to Congress or lying to the FBI? And would you reopen the email server investigation to reevaluate the criminal intent aspect of that case?
Who is the bald man who always sits behind comey in the congressional hearings?
Eddie Piecart a hybrid hit man
Mr. Comey:
I watched your interview with my representative, who was questioning you, on the news couple of days ago. You mentioned that Hilary Clinton should be exonerated and not convicted. You had the audacity to insult my representative by saying insolently: “LOOK AT MY EYES AND LISTEN TO ME!!!” With all due respect to your position, I would like to remind you how the constitution works in case you have forgotten. FBI is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for carrying the orders of the DOJ. Therefore, I don’t understand the reason you explicitly undermine the constitution and abuse your power. Since the Jewish lobby has announced its unanimous support for Secretary Clinton, I hope they are not running you. Therefore, as a patriot American, if you are, you are supposed to be obedient of the constitution and only enforce the law. It seems like the justice department in following your order and Clinton was not scrutinized. Are you a scar crow or the judiciary system is corrupt? Definitely both.
Maybe he has some connection with Clinton Fund and Swiss bank.
Democrats on the committee pretending to be so concerned about wasting taxpayer dollars has got to be the joke of the year.
This public servant has a habit of not having high officials (Bush, Cheney & Hillary) to be in under oath while testifying.I have witnessed a treacherous traitor betray the American public and I'm upset with the lack of respect shown to the white stripes within our country's flag. This man has single handily put a stumbling block on the people of United States of America.
she was hiding her Pay for Play by mixing her government position with her personal work
Most important question that should've been asked, how much is Hillary paying you?
The state of the american people saddens me. This has been up for 7 hours, and there has been 3,229 views... I wish the American people were more concerned about their country to tune in to something like this.
I watched the entire thing start to finish. Believe me, I am spreading the word.
Anyone listening to this should note the following:
1. All members of Congress, including the chair of this committee, use personal email systems, and all have access to classified information. One member states that there should be legislation to stop this, and to have the same standards apply to the legislative branch as apply to the executive branch. To do otherwise is hypocritical, and if Congress were subjected to FBI investigation, all of them would be guilty of doing exactly what Clinton did. The rules should apply to all branches of the government to protect us.
2. Colin Powell used AOL server to transmit classified information. He has been asked to turn over emails and has not complied. Why is he not under investigation?
3. FBI stated clearly that Clinton did not lie to them under oath, yet some of my friends deny this. It is clearly in this interview.
4. This committe has now asked for an investigation of whether Clinton lied when she was interviewed by their committee. FBI agreed to take it on. We don't know the outcome of that since it is still in progress. Whatever the finding, I, for one, will respect it, even if it means that Bernie is the new nominee for Democrats. Quite frankly, he has a better chance of winning than Clinton does, so this committee should be careful what it asks for since they might get it.
5. Obviously, the Secretary of State's office has some problems in classifying information and in how that information is transmitted. Surely the department should be made to come up with some standards that are enforced in the future. I think that this statement is about as non-partisan a statement as anyone on this issue has made.
6. This whole Bengazi/email extravaganza has taken more time and money than the combined investigation of the Kennedy assasination and the 911 Terrorist attack. Eight separate congressional investigations have been done on Bengazi alone, and tens of thousands of tax dollars have been spent--not to mention the time of a do-nothing Congress.
7. Why we as a people don't hold Congress responsible for Bengazi is beyond me, since the State Department asked for more funds to guard our embassies BEFORE Begazi but turned down the request for funding. No Secretary of State can defend our interests abroad without adequate funding, and to blame ANY Sec of State, Republican or Democrat, for failure to defend when they are not adequately funded is insidious.
of course she knew she was doing something that was wrong..how embarrassing
Anyone with a clearance knows, that would have been illegal.

Now this and the questions beforehand are probably the most important questions ever, and the fact that Director Comey answered to them "no" is all in all very concerning as a young American. The fact that they couldn't record or have a transcript, and that they didn't ask her these questions under oath is scary.
integrity this integrity that. INTEGRITY FUCKING ZERO
How are they "not able to interview" some of them? Isn't this the US government? If they had a question for any of us, could we just indefinitely decline an interview?
LOL why no one care enough to carry out an investigation whether the Other Presidential Candidate has ever lied? What a waste of tax payer money..
This is a coup
This video only needs to be 40 seconds long. If you don't know there's a law and you break it, the FBI says you're innocent.
This is insane. She should be tried for it. And if found not guilty whatever...but she should. She lied. The whole time.
Why dosn't he have the 302 sitting in front of him?
We are talking about a rigged system here, of course he does not have it in front of him :) Asian for Trump 2016
...or the 3.5 hour subject interview transcript he wasn't present for.
I used to work at the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson AFB. Classified information at the Top Secret level was supposed to remain always within the SCIF-rated secure part of the building. If I so much as took a TS document outside that area I might have been arrested by the security guards; I would, at the least, have been required to turn around and return the document to secure storage. If I didn't comply, I'd be either shot or apprehended and arrested. If I left the building while carrying TS in an unauthorized manner, I'd probably have been arrested and charged with espionage, which might be downgraded subsequently to a charge of criminal negligence. Hillary put it on her privately owned unsecure computer, in her home, and sent bits of it to other people by email, and neither the FBI Director nor the Attorney General wants to prosecute her at all. What makes Hillary Clinton so darn special?
I haven't heard this question so far in the hearing. _"Mr. Comey, did anyone in the government express to you-prior to your giving your recommendation to the Attorney General about whether or not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information-a preference with regard to what your recommendation should be?"_
A Democratic congresswoman asked Comey whether there was any political bias in the FBI investigation, and Comey said that there was none. I agree. The FBI investigation, itself, was competently done, apparently without bias. But the investigation's procedures and findings are one thing; the FBI's recommendation to the Justice Department is something else. And I see a disconnect between those two things. The investigation, properly done as it was, found enough evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton to require her to be prosecuted. Although other people might have broken the laws more egregiously than Hillary Clinton did, it is nonetheless clear that Hillary Clinton broke laws egregiously enough to be prosecuted. The bias, then, isn't in the FBI's investigation. The bias is in the recommendation that followed the investigation.
If it can possibly be done, James Comey should be investigated in regard to whether or not his recommendation to the Department of Justice was based on corrupt considerations. Did he bow to pressure, and, if so, whose? Does he have any personal reason to show Mrs. Clinton improper favor? The Romans knew about this kind of difficulty and expressed it as "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
The no-prosecution recommendation by James Comey reminds me somewhat of the no-prosecution recommendation by the Solicitor of the 10th Judicial Circuit in South Carolina with regard to the police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old driver of a Honda Civic in a Hardee's restaurant parking lot last year. The dashcam video gives evidence that the shooting was unnecessary and that the officer began lying about the circumstances about five seconds after his shots were fired. A reasonable person watching that video would probably think that the officer should be prosecuted and let a court decide the question of guilt, the seriousness of the crime, and the severity of the appropriate punishment.
But in cases like this, people in power will put themselves _in the way_, just because they can and because they have an unexpressed reason for doing it.
amazing that he can keep calm figuring that he has needed to piss for the past hour. amazing discipline.
As I watch this... he answers the tough questions, i.e. did she receive and transmit classified emails on a NON classified server in a way that makes you think, it was no big deal. He CLEARLY has an agenda to keep her viable for the election. That makes him unworthy of his position.
