It would have been "honest" for Comey to say...Hillary Clinton knowingly broke the law...lied to Congress about doing so...and then destroyed evidence of what she'd done when she was exposed! His excuse that one of Washington's BIGGEST political insiders somehow didn't understand that she was doing was wrong is laughable! In order to believe THAT...you have to believe that Hillary Clinton is some wide eyed innocent! That claim borders on farce!
Except she didn't knowingly break the law.
She broke a technicality that hundreds of people in Washington probably do every day.
It's a problem with the law not keeping up with the technology.
He realized if he took this bullshit in front of a jury, he'd be laughed out.
