Comey: "If truth were the only goal, there would be no clock, and the investigation wouldn’t have been sought after the Senate Judiciary Committee already endorsed the nominee...The FBI is up for this. It’s not as hard as Republicans hope it will be."

"FBI agents are experts at interviewing people and quickly dispatching leads to their colleagues around the world to follow with additional interviews. Unless limited in some way by the Trump administration, they can speak to scores of people in a few days, if necessary."
"Yes, the alleged incident occurred 36 years ago. But FBI agents know time has very little to do with memory. They know every married person remembers the weather on their wedding day, no matter how long ago. They also know that little lies point to bigger lies."

"They [FBI] know that OBVIOUS LIES by the NOMINEE about the MEANING of WORDS in a yearbook are a FLASHING signal to DIG deeper."

"It is one thing to have your lawyer submit a statement on your behalf. It is a very different thing to sit across from two FBI special agents & answer their relentless questions."
"The bureau won’t have subpoena power, only the ability to knock on doors & ask questions. But most people will speak to them. Refusal to do so is its own kind of statement."
"Although the FBI won’t reach conclusions, their granular factual presentation will SPOTLIGHT the areas of conflict and ALLOW decision makers to reach their own conclusions."
"When the week is up, one team (& maybe both) will be angry at the FBI. The president will condemn the bureau for being a corrupt nest of Clinton-lovers if they turn up bad facts. Maybe Democrats will similarly condemn agents as Trumpists if they don’t."
"As strange as it sounds, there is freedom in being totally screwed. Agents can just do their work. Find facts. Speak truth to power.
Despite all the lies and all the attacks, there really are people who just want to figure out what’s true. The F.B.I. is full of them."
