"I don't think he(she) said they don't count."

She TOTALLY IGNORED THEM and ONLY talked about the repubs.

"Unfortunately, our current crop of politicians seem to be a bit worse."

I disagree.

I don't know how old you are but, I have been watching them for a LONG time.

Is skeptical a synonym of ignorant?
Got any proof that he said the highlighted line? I watched the entire hearing and didn't hear anything like that and common sense tells me that since the FBI did not investigate Rice and Powell's use of private emails that he couldn't/wouldn't comment on something he didn't investigate or comment on the 5,000 emails that the Bush administration deleted.

How can she be impeached? She has no government job.

ok, so I looked up what Comey said about the differences between HRC and Patreaus. Comey is corrupt and lying. He said Patreus had vast amounts of classified intel. So did HRC. He said he lied about it and they found it under stuff in his attic with a search warrant. They found thousands of missing emails that were supposed to be turned over by HRC after they confiscated her server, which is definitely a lie on her part for not turning them over. He said Patreaus exposed that intel to people unauthorized. HRC did the same thing. He said the General admitted that what he did was wrong. HRC acted like she did nothing wrong. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE! Admit what did was wrong and get prosecuted, lie about it and play stupid and walk free. If anyone doesn't see the complicate nature Comey played in this they are fooling themselves.

And he said those cases were not what the media made them out to be. They were not less but MORE than what Hillary did.

There is four hours of his testimony but yes, he did say this as I watched it carefully. Would take a bit of time to find that exact exchange though. He said Condi - as that was the specific one asked about - did not do the same thing (only had private email on gov't server) and he thought it was appropriate to investigate Clinton because it was a different thing that Clinton did (e.g. private server).

It is not a good day for Clinton. But Comey looks as if he is guilty. When showed a time line of Clinton meeting Lynch, Hillary being questioned by the FBI and Comey's decision of no indictment. Comey was so angered it reminded me of Bill Clinton when he said he did not lie about Monica Lewinsky.

Comey would not talk about the Clinton Foundation ,if the case ended or going forward. This looks bad. Too protective of the Clintons. There could be a nice bonus sitting in a foreign bank for Comey put there by the Clintons

I've been around for a while now. I've seen presidents go down and lies, deceit and corruption. But, I have NEVER EVER seen anything so blatant as to exonerate Hillary knowing what she's done. I have lost complete faith in our justice system. It's a free for all from this point forward. This is far from over.

I have absolutely no doubt she should be charged with racketeering.

I don't believe that is true.

I think he was a having an affair with an Army Intelligence officer who held a TS clearance.

"Petraeus scandal From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Petraeus scandal is a series of events that garnered strong media attention when an extramarital affair between retired four-star general David Petraeus, then Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Paula Broadwell became public information. Petraeus had chosen Broadwell to be his official biographer. She co-authored All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, his biography, when Petraeus was the International Security Assistance Force commander.[1][2] On November 9, 2012, she was reported to have been involved in the extramarital affair with Petraeus that triggered his resignation as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency when it was discovered by the FBI.[3"

"Paula Broadwell (born November 9, 1972) is a US Army Intelligence Officer, an American writer, academic, and anti-terrorism professional..."

Yeah, don't think or believe that at all. I think trying to make out Comey as some bad guy is not the way you should go. If he got clearance from AG Lynch or Obama beforehand to give that press conference, he would have NEVER been allowed to slam Hilary like he did. She deserved it completely too.

I think his refusal to answer questions on the Clinton Foundation, especially when he said he wouldn't comment on if he was doing an investigation on it or not, de facto confirmed they're investigating it. Because if they weren't at all, he would have just said so. Thought that was interesting actually. Of note, the FBI never comments on active investigations.
