As I posted elsewhere - sounds like they have nothing and he's just providing fodder for news airtime.

And R's will use that line until the cows come home. I wonder if they can use Comey himself in ads or is that illegal?

They found emails she didn't hand over to State Department.

No intent found, but "extremely careless" handling of top secret information.

There is plenty there for the repugs to jump all over. She may or may not have been hacked... not sure, but possible her correspondents were.

"No reasonable prosecutor" would bring a criminal case, in his judgment.

It's not her. It's anyone not-Republican. Obama's administration has been clean as a whistle compared to others for the last few decades and look at every little thing they keep throwing at him.

It's not the person, it's that they're not "one of us" when it comes to why Republicans do this.

Someone on MSNBC pointing out that Comey was appointed by bush and the issue has been politicized. I look to the repugs to attack her on her "judgment" though.
They will jump on anything that they can use against her.

Won't stop Trump on this front either.

He and his rabid followers are bottom dwelling, mush brained, ignoramuses with a penchant for squelchy facts and a camaraderie of flat headed fools. These are ignorant of the truth and shying away from any truth that doesn't feed their sense of manufactured outrage.

I'm glad they did this now so the howling mob can wear itself out and people can get out their fine toothed combs. I hope it doesn't get twisted up into "she's incompetent" but I'm sure it will.

But what Comey said will be used by the GOP to blast Hillary by calling her too careless to be president.

Hillary and the rest of the Democrats need to get ahead of this before it spins out of control.
