Obama Cites Comey in Refusing to Comment on Clinton E-mail Scandal

‘I’m going to continue to be scrupulous about not commenting on it’

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: "You may Mark, but I want you to make sure you’re not wasting your question. I’m going to continue to be scrupulous about not commenting on it. Because I think Director Comey could not have been more exhaustive. My understanding is not only did he make a full presentation, while we were over here or at least flying, he was presenting to Congress for hours on end — but I just want to give you a chance just in case you didn’t want to burn your question."
