that she was going to defer to investigators and prosecutors on this matter because of the appearance, the ethical cloud, do you think if he had not done that that attorney general lynch might have had more control of what happened in this investigation? i can t speculate about that. i think you sort of gave the money pitch there, though, jake. she said that she would accept the advice of career prosecutors, the republicans wanted to spin that up into a conspiracy where there was none. the career prosecutors found there was no case. jim comey himself said it wasn t even close and she accepted that result. one of the things that s interesting and one of the things that democrats in washington, d.c., are debating, is whether or not hillary clinton has actually learned from this experience when it comes to people in her circle who enable bad decisions by the clintons, and i am not necessarily including you in this group, but people inside her circle such as you and robi
donald trump is now saying he has great respect for fbi director james comey but take a listen to what mr. trump said just a couple weeks ago. likewise, they have essentially corrupted the director of the fbi to the point at which stories are already saying that the great, and they are truly great, men and women who work for the fbi are embarrassed and ashamed of what he s done to one of our truly great institutions, the fbi itself. so is james comey still corrupted, kellyanne or only corrupt when he does something that mr. trump disagrees with? so there are two separate investigations here, first on july 5th jim comey came out and told the world, jake, that he was declining prosecution of hillary clinton based on the investigation. he then proceeded to tell us every reason why she was
