FBI Director Says He 'Would Never Comment' When Asked if There's an Investigation or Not Into Trump and Russia

But He Would Go Out of His Way to Comment on Hillary Clinton

FBI Director James Comey told Senators Tuesday afternoon that the FBI does not comment on whether or not they are investigating someone, a stunning exercise in hypocrisy given his letter, eleven days before the election, to 16 federal lawmakers and a follow-up, two days before the election, derailed Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Noting that the Russian Foreign Minister was quoted in the press saying he had had contact with people associated with the Trump campaign before the election, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden asked the FBI Director, "Has the FBI investigated these reported relationships, if so, what are the agency's findings?" Wyden asked.

Director Comey's immediate response, "I would never comment on investigations, whether we have one or not, in an open forum like this."

“So I really can’t answer it one way or another,” he concluded.

1. Of course he has no such problem when it comes to Clinton's emails.

He had no issues sending not one, but two letters to congress about the emails.

8. Is this a new policy of the FBI?

Because it wasn't in evidence in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the election. Blabbermouth Comey couldn't run his yapper enough in those days, even when he had nothing to report except groundless suspicions.

9. Perhaps Director Commie should be investigated

I heard he is part of a russian spy ring/cartel/network! He is a double agent.

10. And Angus King replied: The irony of that statement in this setting is just . . . "

and Comey said "we comment about closed investigations"
