Here’s Why Hillary Clinton Isn’t a Liar and James Comey Needs to Shut the Entire F*ck Up [View all]

http://thedailybanter.com/2016/07/heres-why-hillary-clinton-isnt-a-liar-and-james-comey-needs-to-shut-the-entire-fck-up/

snip the first two paragraphs...

First, there was Comey’s revelation that some of the emails investigated were marked classified at the time they were sent or received, which is the basis for the claim that Hillary Clinton has been lying all along when she said she “did not send classified material and I did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified”:

Some, Comey included, will argue that this distinction makes no difference, but it certainly does, especially when judging whether or not Hillary Clinton lied. In this case, it’s important to listen carefully to what Comey said, which is that a “very small number” (whatever that means) “bore markings indicating the presence of classified information.”

There are several problems with this, most fundamental among them being that Comey’s press conference should have lasted 30 seconds, and not included what amounted to 15 minutes of unanswered, unexamined testimony against Hillary Clinton. No one can cross-examine Comey and ask him what “a very small number” means, nor can we know which “markings” he’s referring to. For example, one of the emails that Hillary-haters declared a smoking gun was one which bore the word “confidential” in the subject line, but which referred to attorney-client privilege, not government classification. Was there a “very small number” of these?
