Hasn't Meghan said her husband helps her prepare for the show?  If he gave her the Hoover line she would be better off winging it.

I think she did say she runs ideas by him or something. All she had to do was google Hoover during their morning meeting and she would have easily been educated on the true character and corruptness of Hoover.

She doesn't think she needs to and that is one of her problems.

Didn't just compare but was implying Hoover was the better man.

The FBI is supposed to be apolitical and their loyalty is to the constitution and not to their party.  It is okay to have a bias, but, it should not be a factor in your decisions.  Plus, Comey also forgot to say that there were anti-Hillary agents that were causing a ruckus and that also played a part in him disclosing the information about the re-opening of her investigation.

Yup; and in his interview with George Stephanopoulos, Comey stated he didn't vote while he was director. But that his wife was for Hilary, as were his daughters, and they voted for her. I may have my issues with him, but mostly I like him. Aside from him violating the Hatch Act.

Meghan should reconsider those updo styles with her hair. While the style looks lovely on her, her blazing red ears looks painful. I know she can't help that her ears turn red, but ouch! Maybe wearing blue would distract from the red of her ears or maybe she could consider changing parties? Perhaps then she wouldn't be blushing with embarrassment all of the time at the bullshit party lines that she consistently spouts. Ugh-I am going to hate myself for saying this and I am no style expert but, the bigger the head, the bigger the pearl. If you want to emulate or give a nod to Barbara Bush's style, you shouldn't wear some that are more reminiscent of Stormy Daniels (who is lovely and beautiful and I admire much more than Bush, btw, but I did dig Barbara's pearl game back in the day) I love Comey's WTF face here-not to be confused with the Oh Shit face he made when Trump called him over when he was trying to blend in with the blue curtains. Damn! Even Comey knows wearing blue is a good idea when you about to embarrass yourself. He he! I bet Meghan was wishing for some red curtains to blend into when she finally realized how dumb she was to bring up Hoover. Oh! That's right. She is heading to AZ so she will blend in with all the MAGA hats on her friends.

Good point.  My comment about having 2 directors is all about an unknown future.  Trump has done this to me.  I don't feel all that confident about our system moving forward.

Yes. I believe he was United States Deputy AG under Bush and it was Obama that later appointed him to the FBI Director position.

MM was incredibly excited, smiling with twinkly eyes and seemed to think Trump's taking note of Stormy's interview was all because of her.  I was surprised to see her not trying to dominate Comey's interview (except for interrupting him after her long read-from-cue-card question).  Were those pearls a shock collar in disguise?

HIlarious!  Her make up is so heavy on her face and chest you cannot see her turn red.  They didn't do her ears!!  Love it.

Sunny was the best person in the interview (no surprise). I'm glad she highlighted the double standards in his treatment of the two investigations, shouting from the rooftop about Hillary and saying nothing about Trump. He didn't give a believable answer to the question either. He took it on his own to make a statement about Hillary, but decided not to say anything about the Russia investigation because of Obama? A load of bullshit, imo.

Meghan making a fool of herself and being laughed at by the rest of the table was priceless. I'm glad Whoopi mostly stayed out of the interview, and the only question I remember her asking had me cheering--"Do you think Hillary received justice?"

I don't want to go off topic but didn't President Obama say after the election his administration didn't release the information that there could possibly be Russian interference because they didn't want to be accused of playing favorites (helping Hillary)?

Yes. It was a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation, but I can understand why they ultimately chose to keep quiet while investigating Flynn, Manafort, and whoever else. (Besides the lost faith in elections thing.). Everyone was sure it wouldn’t matter in the long run since Hillary was going to win.

Wow, those are some bright red ears Meghan is sportin’.

Given the rumors about Hoover being a closeted gay cross-dresser, it has to be said:

If J Edgar Hoover saw the Comey book, he would roll over in his grave.........

And show us his panties.

[merriebreeze]

Good recap

Also Obama requested that Mitch McConnell join in a statement about the known Russian interference and McConnell refused saying it would be too political. *

* "President Barack Obama decided not to speak out publicly on Russian interference during the 2016 campaign after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to sign a bipartisan statement condemning the Kremlin's role"

In this day and age multiple tv channels/ Web sites/pop ups/salacious books/etc... of history,  geography, POLITICS, civil rights, LGBTQ issues,  how does one NOT know even a little  something --like the cross-dressing---about J. E. Hoover?  

 Or the racism?  Or homophobia? Or just that he was not a paragon of virtue? 

Just a little general knowledge comes through even  when I'm channel surfing or scanning ads for new you tube videos. Or browsing paper books at bookstores or libraries.  How do you NOT absorb anything?

You're absolutely right. You'd think that "political pundint" Meghan would be aware of COINTELPRO etc. I mean, J. Edgar Hoover has even been referenced on The Simpsons!

Oh, and why the accusatory tone when telling Comey he sounds like a political talking head? Between the two of them, someone had to, because she sure didn't. She sounded like a high schooler who didn't do the assigned Current Events reading.

"J. Edgar Hoover rolling over in his grave" ???? Really, Meghan? You're an absolute idiot. 

 

Can someone explain this to this lost Canadian. I'm younger than Meghan, so I didn't understand why she brought Hoover up or why the others laughed.

 

Edit: Ah, never mind this. I looked on google and remembered that he was the one who caused the death of Fred Hampton and tons of black panther activists, invented the rumour that the Black Panthers wanted to kill every white person (when they actually ran socialist programs that helped everyone regardless of race) and he placed surveillance on Martin Luther King Jr and Malcom X (and any other key figure in the civil right's movement).  The man was a nutter. And someone who was openly racist. 'Real Racism' if you will.

Edit: I wonder if she'll address why she brought him up on Monday. I think she should, considering how horrible the man was.

I am Canadian, and I gasped when she said it, so I know more than she does about American history.  And besides, she keeps telling us how she grew up in a political family.  A lot of Hoover's transgressions were politically motivated. She has to know.   I cannot imagine why she would come up with Hoover at all, unless someone said it to her.

Comey's reasoning for what he did concerning Hillary just don't ring true with me.

[Gemma Violet]

When I first saw Meghan marching out in that fire-engine red dress with the matching lipstick, my first thought was not that she was trying to look Republican--I thought she was trying to look powerful and intimidating and bold.  Not that Comey would be scared of her, but I'm sure she wanted to give an impression of being fierce:  No demure pink lipstick or feminine kitty dresses for me today.  I'm large and in charge and coming to fillet you, Comey! 

Except it didn't work out the way she planned.  

But I have to say, her make-up was beautifully done.  She really has a pretty face.  Too bad she has a stone cold heart.

The best thing about the Hoover line was the instant laughter that followed.  Ah, Meggie, never change.  You giant red ignoramous.

Lately this forum has been so awesome that I’ve been trying to watch some of show. Y’all have been on fire!?  I could not believe Meghan’s comment about Hoover. Her knowledge of history is shameful. She’s a damn fidiot and I think that’s being generous. I’d like to add that that her language skills are beyond awful esp for a self proclaimed “political pundit”. You don’t fillet a person. You fillet a damn fish. You would eviscerate a person if you had that ability and she proves she doesn’t on a daily basis. The stupid burns so brightly in her I can’t believe the others at the table don’t wear sunglasses ??

So not that I am huge fans of either of them, but both Stormy and Comey came off very well on the show.   Way to be a gotcha girl MM!  You should learn from this - you are no "badass" chick, go do what is right (for yourself too) and be with your father.

But I thought he said that at the time of the Russian investigation, Trump wasn't even one of the persons of interest at that time. Based on his response (assuming I'm remembering correctly), the FBI couldn't have held back information on Trump if it had not yet been. From that I'm assuming that intelligence regarding Trump's possible association wasn't identified until after the election. 

Didn't Mitch McConnell threaten President Obama about releasing Russian's involvement in the election? I was reading Twitter - a journalist mentioned this - that both sets of information should have been released.

For me it's the " I wasn't trying to embarrass Trump by commenting on his appearance. I know he's trying to look like a nice guy but after being attacked by Trump for  a year , who could have blamed him if he got a few digs in. If you give it out , you've got to be able to take it. All the phony outrage over this makes me laugh . They 're so hypocritical.

I've been paying attention to her pronunciation (she probably says "pronounciation") and wonder if she had speech therapy as a child.  Watch how she pronounces most (not all) of her L's.   They come out a little like W's ... and she's not from the part of the country where that's part of an accent.

I have heard this many times. BB could eviscerate you and make you smile as she did it. I have to say that Meghan can’t come close in that regard. My grandmother would roll over in her grave if she heard Meghan. I can hear her in my head. That girl is a vicious, vile, vituperative, vitriolic, venomous snake. I don’t think Meghan can use a couple of those words correctly even if, by chance, she knows them. I hate to be so mean. I wanted to give her a chance but she just seems like a bitter, resentful, mean, nasty, spiteful person. Surely her family sees her hostility. I’d sure as hell want to be told but I don’t think cares as the “republican” at the table. She makes me want to throw things at my tv. That is why I rarely watch and keep up through this forum.
