FBI Director James Comey is on the Hill right now testifying before the House.  He stated that he did not believe that Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI about her email server nor broke the law.

It’s what he was expected to say.

However, at one point, he was asked if Clinton lied to Congress when she testified (before the Benghazi committee) she did not send or receive emails that were marked classified.  Comey responded that the FBI was not charged to investigate that and they would need a referral from Congress to investigate that.  He was immediately told that one would be forthcoming.

I don’t think Clinton can be nailed on perjury even if what she testified was wrong.  There is a difference between saying something wrong, and knowingly lying to Congress.

But that’s not the point.  The point of these hearings is to keep the flame burning on this so-called scandal through November, if not beyond. New prosecutors, new committee probes, new conspiracies. A total of five congressional committees will either hold hearings with high-profile law enforcement officials over the next week or have already begun inquiries to the FBI about its investigation of the former secretary of State. There’s too much invested already, and too much ginned-up expectancy within the GOP base to see Clinton criminally charged, and frankly too much political value to let this end this week.

UPDATE:  House GOP indefinitely delays gun control votes.  Because priorities.
