Rep Gerry Connelly is one of my new heroes. He's sticking it to Kornacki, who is trying his best

[BobbyDrake]

to make something out of nothing when it comes to Clinton's emails. Kornacki frames the question as if any classified exposure was deliberate, and Connelly makes clear that if the FBI thought so, they would have prosecuted. Connelly also stresses the tiny number of emails the FBI mentioned out of the tens of thousands that were sent, AND stressed how busy Clinton was during her 4 years as SoS.

An amazing appearance by Rep Gerry Connelly tonight.

1. Yes! Saw that too and I agree. I watched the entire hearing and

Kornacki obviously did not or he wouldn't be talking about 100 or so emails...He would know that only 3 had markings as classified and two of those were not marked correctly because they actually were not classified.

2. Connelly handled that well...

So was Steve Kornacki filling in for Rachel Maddow tonight? I can't imagine her posing questions like that. I wonder if she was annoyed that he used her show to do that - I would've been.

3. He did a good job, but I wish he had had this info handy:

Steve K kept bringing up the 110 emails, but as Peter Daou explains, they were NOT marked classified, and only retroactively deemed by the FBI, not by Clinton, to contain classified info, so can't be used as evidence that she lied. Daou also pokes other holes in the argument.

5. That's what I just questioned, spooky. comey was Wrong. All this false info out there

because of him.

[spooky3]

6. He seems to have trouble shaking his being a Republican

in making his public statements.

Hi Cha

7. He's made an incompetent fool of himself.. yeah I'd say he's had trouble.

Spooky!

4. Great to hear about Rep Gerry Connelly the 11th District in Virginia!

I thought I read there were NO classified emails? That Comey was Wrong.

Thank you, Bobby~

8. I'm not a fan of Steve

He loves a conspiracy, even if it's a Democratic one. When will Rachel be back? I can't take another week of him. Connelly did a good job. I didn't hear it all because I was busy shouting at the TV.

9. Actually in a court o believe she would have been acquitted

Those docs did not I've the official "classified" headings that officials are trained to look for and the entire classification system is faulty

10. Thank you Rep Connelly!

The relentless efforts to make something out of nothing only serve to generate news and feed anti Clinton sentiment. They never seem to tire of it. It is fantastic that Hillary now has not just a few defenders but an entire party of people who have had it with the witch hunts. Enough.

WTG, Gerry Connelly!
