Things are popping today…stay with me on this.  A House committee grilled FBI Director James Comey Thursday for almost five hours.  Congressman Trey Gouty forced the director to reiterate Hillary Clinton’s lies. It was partisan as usual, but Comey had his hands full.  Plus he was asked were you there when she was questioned. Comey answered no.  This is absolutely stunning.  Do you have transcripts or recording of the session with Hillary Clinton?  No.  Did you keep records of her testimony? No. Was she under oath?  No. The Director stuck with the story he couldn’t prove Mrs. Clinton had intention for her misdeeds.  What nonsense.  Near the end of the session Comey was asked if the FBI was investigating the Clinton Foundation.  He refused to answer. Again Director Comey left making no statement and taking no reporter questions.

So what’s the deal with all this?  It is Jacksjargon’s belief that FBI Director James Comey simply does not want to be the one to change the course of political and American history.  Especially with an Afro American President.  It’s that simple.  And came up with this flimsy intent excuse that essentially says Hillary Clinton was too dumb to know what she was doing.

Elsewhere…the State Dept. now says it is going to reopen the case against  Hillary Clinton and include her aide’s Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills.  They are seeking administrative sanctions.  No further details.

And finally, get this one.  Says Republican strategist Dan Sensor…”The “Dump Trump” people are far more real than the press gives them credit for.”  Trump’s meeting with House and Senate leaders did not go as well as expected Thursday. Part of the angst coming from Trump’s speech last night with regard to Saddam Hussein and the Star of David prominent in one of his political commercials. Consequently, the rules committee, pre convention, has become a more major factor.  Here’s how any changes would come about.   Out of 112 people on the rules committee, 28 need to vote in favor of a change that would permit the delegates to vote on any change. The current breakdown is 20 would consider, 33 are unknown and 59 support Trump.  Obviously eight more are needed to get it to the floor. It would be a majority vote.  The rules change being considered would allow delegates to be free to vote for any candidate they choose on a first ballot.  Out of the 1,237 delegate votes needed 890 are committed to Trump…900 are unknown and 680 oppose.  Suddenly, the ever ambitious Ted Cruz is headed for the convention and Trump will allow him to speak.  Plus, there might be some mind changes for those saying they would not attend the convention.

That’s it and that’s enough for one day.   www.jacksjargon.com
