NYT’s Bruni Whistles Past Graveyard: Comey Letter ‘Won’t Move People Away’ from Hillary
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/31/2016 7:36:07 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Frank Drebin would be so proud of his namesake . . . It was one of those classic “nothing to see here, move along” moments. On today’s Morning Joe, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, saying that there was no new terrain broached in FBI Director James Comey’s letter of this past Friday, claimed “it won’t move people away from” voting for Hillary Clinton.

Bruni also praised the “incredibly rapid and thorough mobilization of the Clinton campaign and their allies” in getting headlines to mention Comey as much as Clinton, and to question whether the FBI Director did the right thing. Lost on Bruni was the irony that chief among those Clinton campaign “allies” are members of the liberal media who write the headlines. You know: allies such as . . . Frank Bruni.

Has Comey’s letter to Congress been released?

Marxist NYT calls it wrong again - as always, in defense of Party Doctrine.

Sorry to break this to you Frankie but according to the polls, it has already moved 35% of them away from your Clintoonie.

She has a core of Kool-Aid drinking True Believers who won’t be moved away by ANYTHING.

Are they enough for her to win?
I sure as hell hope not.

Sadly, he is correct, its Party over Country for them.

I can see why they would say that. We've seen polls that show that people don't think Hillary tells the truth, and yet many will still vote for her. If you're a die-hard commie 'rat, why let some "partisan FBI investigation" that is part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" keep you from electing the first woman president?

Anybody that doesn’t know who and what the Clintons are by now won’t care

Yes - unfortunately it will only move 2-3% of the mushy middle voters.

For instance, I am hoping it moves working class married women. It will not move suburban upper-middle class married women (who for some reason) have a strong interest in a pres HC.

The Clinton response has actually been effective in positioning this as a inside baseball fight - and away from the rotten Clinton corruption. Unfortunately, they know what they are doing - if only Ryan and McConnell were 33% as good

Unfortunately, he’s right. They have absolutely no problem with politicians on the left breaking laws as long as they get their free stuff, and people they don’t like getting screwed.

Look at all the gloating from the passage of Obamacare. The right warned them, but when it passed, they celebrated and gloated.

Forget the fact that they were as screwed as their political opponents with crappy and expensive medical insurance. The most important thing was that their opponents lost.

Marginal Hillary voters will stay home, not wanting to vote for the criminal loser.

Marginal Trump voters will vote, wanting to be sure to be on the winning side and stick it to the Establishment.

That’s what they fear.

Die hards will always vote.

On the Margins, we may have a landslide.

Frank Drebin would be so proud of his namesake . . .

Wouldn't Frank Drebin's namesake be named... "Frank Drebin?"

Mika Brzezinski about 25 minutes into this mornings show went totally amazing. She is worth every penny they pay her...
