James Comey Fires Back at Hillary Clinton: Even Now ‘She Doesn’t Understand’
After the now-infamous IG report was published last week outlining the activity of James Comey and other FBI officials and agents during the 2016 campaign and the Clinton email investigation, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lobbed a one sentence attack on Comey and the entire premise of the investigation.
Now Comey, currently in Berlin, is responding. This latest round of back-and-forth was kicked off by Clinton after publication of the report.

That’s the shot Clinton fired, and it hit. But Comey has no apology for his conduct in the investigation – or for anything else, really – and said so to German newspaper Die Zeit when the paper asked him whether he wished to apologize.
Via Fox News:
“No. And here’s why. I don’t want to criticize her, but it shows me that even at this late date, she doesn’t understand what the investigation in her case was about,” Comey said during an interview with German newspaper Die Zeit.
“It was not about her use of a personal email system, and she didn’t get that during the investigation, because she used to say ‘Colin Powell when he was secretary of state used AOL,’ that was not what it was about,” Comey explained. “It was about communicating about classified topics on that system when those topics have to be done on a classified system.”
The three-way fight between Comey, Clinton, and Trump Republicans in general was not resolved by publication of the 600 page report, with each faction claiming exoneration or vindication based on the findings.
