Yesterday, I watched part of Director Comey’s testimony before Congress. It was fascinating. \u00a0As the hours wore on, he looked so weary and tired. I know this whole situation must be grueling.\u00a0I prayed for him as he testified that God would give him wisdom and integrity.<\/p>\n
I believe he is a good man put in an untenable spot. There was no way for him to win. \u00a0I don’t think the American people won, either.<\/p>\n
And once again, we see how words make a difference.<\/p>\n
We remember when Mr. Clinton testified about his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky and said, “It depends on what your definition of “is” is. \u00a0It seemed laughable at the time. To parse words to such a degree… Now it happens again.<\/p>\n
It depends on what “intent” means and how do you prove a person’s motive. \u00a0You can only look at surrounding circumstances and actions to get at an intent. The dictionary says the legal definition is, “the state of a person’s mind that directs his or her actions toward an objective”. Now how in the world can you determine that?\u00a0You can’t.<\/p>\n
But Director Comey seemed to think he could determine that Mrs. Clinton did not intend<\/span> to be negligent in the handling of classified materials. Although he said she was careless and and ignorant technologically speaking. Well, I am too so I can understand her dilemma. However, I am not dealing with State secrets!<\/p>\n It is important to say what we mean and mean what we say. Let’s be people known for integrity. \u00a0That way there will be no need to having \u00a0 hearings on our intentions.<\/p>\n We all need to pray for our leaders to be people of integrity that seek God’s wisdom not just each other’s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, I watched part of Director Comey’s testimony before Congress.
