"FBI Directer Comey Is Crazy"
That is what I wrote last Thursday. Today, he's yet again proving me correct.
Last week, this went down: "FBI director James Comey generated national headlines . . . with his dramatic testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, explaining his incredibly painful' decision to go public [days before the election] about the Hillary Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
Perhaps Comey’s most surprising revelation was that Huma Abedin — Weiner’s wife and a top Clinton deputy — had made 'a regular practice' of forwarding 'hundreds and thousands of Clinton messages to her husband, “some of which contain classified information.” Comey testified that Abedin had done this so that the disgraced former congressman could print them out for her boss."
I thought that was ridiculous then. Hundreds and thousands to be printed out? By Weiner? That guy won't get his own coffee.
Well the breaking news today is that "much" of what Comey testified to regarding regarding the forwarding and printing is wrong. Reports are trickling in that maybe it just involved a "handful" of emails. The FBI is trying to figure out how to correct the false testimony and is expected to send a letter to Congress later this week.
How does this happen? The leader of the FBI made a sworn statement before a Senate committee regarding one of the most sensational stories of the last election, and he completely screwed it up.
Edit: The FBI released the letter this afternoon and said the number of emails manually forwarded were "a small number."
Huge edit: Trump fired him this afternoon!
