"Comey believes..."
Comey is the emptiest suit I've ever seen testify before Congress. Comey is told by his handlers what he should claim to believe and otherwise he carefully avoids believing anything.
At one point today he really showed his ass. After tacitly agreeing with Leahy about "an Internet sale" of a gun which implied anyone could order a gun online without a background check, Graham asked Comey if such a purchase would be "delivered to my home."
When asked this question, the Director of the FBI, an organization that, along with the ATF, orchestrated the Fast and Furious gun-walking scheme and therefore should have absolutely zero confusion about the exclusive role of FFL holders in the transfer of firearms in the United States and the harsh federal penalties for anyone that fails to obey the relevant laws, answered in public, complete with a genuinely quizzical look;
"... I assumed it's shipped to you, but I don't know for sure actually ..."
Full stop. Not one shred of a clue. Un. Freaking. Believable.
There is nothing there. Comey is literally propping up a suit for the cameras.
