Liberal Hollywood celebrities and journalists are still not happy with FBI director James Comey, even after he sent a letter to Congress Sunday saying newly discovered emails have not changed his decision to not charge Hillary Clinton with a crime.
While many Democrats celebrated, celebrities and journalists took the opportunity to slam Director Comey for what they say was an attempt to hurt Clinton’s election chances.
How convenient that Comey announces Hillary’s exoneration from an erroneous investigation after all the Sunday news shows have aired.
