Democrat Adam Schiff Condemns FBI's 'Ambiguity Bomb'
cnsnews ^ | October 31, 2016 | By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - "I think this was a terrible error in judgment by the director to release this kind of ambiguous letter," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the House intelligence committee, told ABC's "This Week."

"That kind of an ambiguity bomb this close to election was a terrible lapse in judgment," Schiff said. "The DOJ policies against making a statement about a pending or closed case -- and certainly not doing it in the days leading up to an investigation -- is there for a reason. It's designed to ensure fairness.

"It's also designed to ensure that the FBI is not put in a position of appearing to put its hand on the political scales. And this may or may not have been in the director's interest. But it clearly wasn't in the public interest."

In his Oct. 28 letter to Congress, Comey said the FBI, in connection with an unrelated case, learned about emails that "appear to be pertinent" to the Clinton email investigation. Comey admitted that the FBI "cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant." But he agreed that the FBI should review the emails "to determine whether they contain classified information."

"What is the public to make of this letter?" Schiff asked. "And how is the secretary to defend against this kind of innuendo? So I think it was a terrible mistake. I do think the director ought to do his best to clean it up."

Dear Dishonorable Congressman Schiff?

Why was a trove of 650,000 of Secretary Clintons's State Department communications found on a felony pervert's computer?

Why did Secretary Clinton illegally set up an unsecure home email server and why did she use that server for State Department communications?

Didn't this create a target rich environment for leaks, hackers and outright espionage?

Why did Secretary Clinton surround herself with untrustworthy idiots like Huma and Weiner?

Why did Secretary Clinton allow classified State Department communications to be sent on known unsecure channels, ie, her own unsecure server?

Why should the Secretary not be arrested for these egregious security breaches?

Dear Mishonorabble Congressman Snitt.

Pleas compare Harry Reid, Nasty Pelosi, and other current seat warmers comments. Harry Reid either lied or released secret information on Presidential Candidate tax records. Ted Kennedy tried to get Russia's help to defeat Reagan. Look at the persecution of GOP officials at the hands of Demonic-rats. Go take a hot shower and sober up and stop listening to the voices in the bottle.

ABC’s This Week spent the first twenty minutes with George Stephanopoulos being incredulous about the Comey notification. Just think about that for a minute a news show in full propaganda mode- no attempt to even appear interested in what they may have discovered only that Comey was wrong.. George was livid and it showed.

Why did the Secretary allow idiots like Huma and Weiner access to official State Department communications including classified secret material?

I think we’ve found the hacker. And her name is Hillary.

I think it’s safe to assume Comey is done offering vindications. The that passes to Loretta Lynch:

“As a Chriatian women, I...”

We used to dread what the Dems would pop on good people like Bruce Herschensohn at the very last minute. Remember that one Mr. Schiff? It elected Barbara Boxer.

Like Travis Tritt sang “HERE’S A QUARTER. CALL SOMEONE WHO CARES.”

Dumb Schiff, a good friend of Harry Reid told me that you are a Communist plant and with Hillary, you want to destroy this country. The seriousness of the charge is all that is needed to investigate.

Amen.

This turkey Schiff nor the majority of others in the Dem Crime Party can answer those questions honestly and truly believe it deep down.

Of course they could care less about believing what they say.

Remember... Weiner and Huma WERE the “would be” power couple of the future. Him a six term congressmen and later a lobbyist, her second banana to the second most powerful democrat in the country. It’s entire plausible they traded intel, rumor, banter, rants, etc. Anything that might bolster their standing as a power couple. This could all be incredibly damning and celasious.
