Corrupt Comey Had the Fix In
Now
we know why the FBI made the absurd claim that it would not release its
files on the Hillary Clinton email investigation for alleged lack of
public interest. The FBI was covering up its obstruction of justice in
the, er, “matter” knowing full well that former Director James Comey had
already exonerated Hillary Clinton before the alleged investigation was
complete and all witnesses had been interviewed and months before Comey
falsely claimed in his announcement that no competent prosecutor would
take Hillary’s case.
In
withholding the files sought under Freedom of Information Act requests,
the FBI forgot that it and former Secretary of State Clinton are and
were employees of the American taxpayer, taxpayers who have a right to
know whether justice is being served or denied. Claims that Hillary had privacy rights that trumped the public interest were absurd:
what? Did it serve the public interest or James Comey’s interest when
he publicly detailed all the reasons Hillary Clinton should be
criminally charged before claiming lack of intent, a criterion which
appears nowhere in the law, was the reason Comey was giving Hillary a
get out of jail free card, a judgment he did not have the authority to
make? Didn’t his exoneration announcement violate Hillary’s alleged
privacy rights by detailing the criminal violations of a subject that
was not going to be charged?
If
James Comey was seriously looking for evidence of intent he couldn’t
have possibly taken a single step without tripping over it. Wasn’t
having a private server that contained classified information, multiple
devices that were later physically smashed, and using Bleach Bit to
destroy 33,000 emails that were under subpoena sufficient evidence of
intent?
Only a corrupt and complicit FBI director, acting as Hillary Clinton’s surrogate campaign manager, who months earlier had decided he would exonerate her, could ignore the damning evidence:
already decided he would exonerate her regardless of the evidence
explains why he did not attend the July 2, 2016 interview of Hillary
Clinton, did not put her under oath, or ever impanel a grand jury in,
there’s that word again, the "matter." The fix was in.
Comey’s
invocation of the tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney
General Loretta Lynch as a reason for his exoneration announcement was
just another part of the obstruction of justice. Comey had already
decided to exonerate Hillary and Lynch was merely passing on the info to
the husband of a subject under criminal investigation.
President Trump was rightly outraged at this proof that the justice system was rigged in Hillary Clinton’s favor:
In a conversation with Fox News’s Martha MacCallum, Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano
suggested Comey’s firing was bad news for Hillary Clinton, clearing the
way for her indictment for violations of the Espionage Act:
an interesting historical footnote, Comey, who falsely claimed no
serious prosecutor would take the case of Hillary Clinton, was among
those who found sufficient evidence to prosecute and convict Scooter
Libby. Comey, it appears, has even more explaining to do. As the Daily Caller reports:
evidence against Hillary is damning, and the line of prosecutors
willing to take the case would encircle the FBI building in Washington,

is the destruction of evidence under Congressional subpoena. As even
Comey admitted, Hillary lied about sending and receiving classified
material, about having only one device, and about turning over all her
emails. If intent is needed, what is accidental about smashing devices
with hammers or using Bleach Bit to render emails unrecoverable? If you
need a motive for having a private server, which speaks to intent, the
obvious purpose is to cover up the “pay to play” trail that leads from
the State Department to the Clinton Foundation.
Hillary
Clinton should be prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned for her crimes.
And if anyone is guilty of obstruction of justice, it is not President
Trump, but the finger-pointing leaker and liar, James Comey.

TheSay
FBI is declining to turn over files related to its investigation of
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails by arguing a lack of
public interest in the matter.
Ty
Clevenger, an attorney in New York City, filed a Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) request in March of 2016 asking for a variety of documents
from the FBI and the Justice Department, including correspondence
exchanged with Congress about the Clinton email investigation…
In
July 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey famously called Clinton’s
email arrangement “extremely careless” though he decided against
recommending criminal charges…
On Aug. 8, the FBI asked Clevenger to detail why the public would be interested.
“If
you seek disclosure of any existing records on this basis, you must
demonstrate that the public interest in disclosure outweighs personal
privacy interests,” the letter stated. “In this regard, you must show
that the public interest sought is a significant one, and that the
requested information is likely to advance that interest.”

AsHaving
FBI director last year, James Comey began writing drafts of a statement
exonerating Hillary Clinton, even before all witnesses in the
investigation -- including Clinton herself -- had been interviewed.
The
Senate Judiciary Committee obtained the Comey memos as part of its
investigation into his firing by President Trump, which occurred on May
9. The revelation that Comey had begun drafting memos of his exoneration
statement comes from transcripts of interviews given last fall by two
FBI officials.
James
Rybicki, Comey’s chief of staff, and Trisha Anderson, the principal
deputy general counsel of national security and cyberlaw at the FBI,
gave the interviews as part of an investigation conducted by the Office
of Special Counsel into the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email
investigation.
In
a July 5, 2016, press conference, Comey said that he would not be
recommending charges against Clinton for mishandling classified
information despite her use of a private email server as secretary of
state.
While
the transcripts of those interviews are heavily redacted, they indicate
that Comey started working on an announcement clearing Clinton in April
or May of last year, before the FBI interviewed 17 witnesses in the
case, including Clinton and some of her top aides.

President Trump was rightly outraged at this proof that the justice system was rigged in Hillary Clinton’s favor:
PresidentThis is yet more justification for the firing of James Comey who, instead of finding and prosecuting leakers, himself leaked a memo written on government time and a government laptop regarding a private conversation with President Trump in the Oval Office.
Trump on Friday slammed what he called a “rigged system” following
reports that former FBI Director James Comey began drafting an
“exoneration statement” for Hillary Clinton before interviewing her in
connection with her private email use as secretary of state.
“Wow,
looks like James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before the
investigation was over… and so much more. A rigged system!” Trump
tweeted early Friday.
The
president was referring to allegations made this week by Senate
Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C.
In
a news release Thursday, the senators said Comey began drafting the
exoneration statement in April or May 2016, which was before the FBI
interviewed 17 key witnesses, including Clinton herself and other top
aides.
“According
to the unredacted portions of the transcripts, it appears that in April
or early May of 2016, Mr. Comey had already decided he would issue a
statement exonerating Secretary Clinton,” the senators said.
In a conversation with Fox News’s Martha MacCallum, Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano
suggested Comey’s firing was bad news for Hillary Clinton, clearing the
way for her indictment for violations of the Espionage Act:
ANDREWIn
NAPOLITANO: Let me suggest another scenario, that Rod Rosenstein
reviewed the Hillary Clinton file, which he had never seen before and
decided that Comey's judgment was utterly irregular and inappropriate
and that maybe she should have been, and still can be indicted for
espionage, the failure to safeguard state secrets while she was
Secretary of State.
an interesting historical footnote, Comey, who falsely claimed no
serious prosecutor would take the case of Hillary Clinton, was among
those who found sufficient evidence to prosecute and convict Scooter
Libby. Comey, it appears, has even more explaining to do. As the Daily Caller reports:
WashingtonThe
D.C.-based former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova believes the Libby
decision is a “terrible blow” to FBI Director James Comey, who announced
Sunday that the agency had no new conclusions on Hillary Clinton and
her private server from the 650,000 new emails found on Anthony Weiner’s
laptop.
“Scooter
Libby was restored to the practice of law by the DC court of appeals
because they believed that Scooter Libby presented evidence that his
original trial had been corrupted by false testimony. And that false
testimony was coerced by Jim Comey’s friend Patrick Fitzgerald and Comey
was part of the team to destroy the vice president of the United States
and it didn’t happen,” DiGenova said.
He added,” It’s such a smack in the face to Jim Comey. Comey and Fitzgerald tried to frame Scooter Libby, and they did….”
