Title: So, Why Did Comey Cover For Clinton?
Post by: Solar on May 12, 2017, 09:45:27 AM
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of
Information (FOIA) lawsuit to obtain Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) records
relating to its "investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of
a non-government email server during her tenure." 
No one is above the law – including James Comey – and that's why your JW intends to
find out the truth about how the Obama administration's FBI and Justice Department
abused their powers to protect Hillary Clinton and target Donald Trump.

And so, through this lawsuit, Judicial Watch is investigating the investigators!

Congress won't do it.  And the liberal media won't do it.

Dereliction of Duty, IMO.

But covering up...?   Someone would have had to take an active role in a coverup, IMO.
They just didn't carry out their responsibilities, turned a blind eye, pretended there was nary a hint of violation, whatever...

Wouldn't it be interesting if Comey ended up taking the fall, became the scapegoat, for all the failures during his tenure?
The only time we should have seen his mug on TV, should have been walking in and out of the FBI building.
We shouldn't be a wit familiar with him, his mug unrecognizable for the most part, he created this persona of Investigator, Prosecutor and Judge - He -owns- whatever comes his way next.... and I think he's just realized the mess he created.

If Hillary, Huma or the Weiner get's busted...  it's gonna raise a bunch of questions about James Comey.
How hard would it be, to make the case, James Comey was in collusion with the Clinton campaign?

For the sake of compassion, which is easier to prove - or where does the body of evidence naturally fall?

a.  Trump colluded with the Russians to fix the election.
b.  Comey colluded with the Clintons to fix the election.

There's no evidence for for Trump & the Russians - Comey admitted that much.
There's a mountain of evidence against Hillary - Comey admitted that too!   But purposely shelved the idea, on national television.

This is like trying to find a dog turd in tall grass, with a pig pen next door.... all I can smell is the pigs.

Well... well... well.....   last minute edit....

http://www.dailywire.com/news/16388/report-comey-plotted-not-recommend-charges-against-aaron-bandler

QuoteAs the inquiry neared its end, Comey, who had closely monitored it from the start, requested summaries of more than thirty government prosecutions involving mishandling of classified information. He waded through the records, seeking to understand the cases' rationale and how they had been resolved. In the end, he agreed with the investigators' unanimous conclusion: Clinton should not face criminal charges...

Comey had his own ideas. Unbeknownst to his Justice Department colleagues, Comey had resolved to proceed alone with the announcement. Since May, he had been holding a parallel series of meetings with top F.B.I. confidants to thrash through his plan. He would publicly announce—and explain—the Clinton decision without Lynch at his side. "We had discussions for months about what this looked like," Michael Steinbach, who retired as the F.B.I.'s executive assistant director for national security in February, 2017, said. "This, for us, was the best course of action, given the political situation that we were in—for us to do it independently."

As Comey saw it, according to Steinbach and others familiar with his thinking, the public doubted Lynch's independence and would be less likely to accept the decision if she were involved in announcing it.

Clinton wasn't interviewed until July 2. That means a couple of months before the subject of the investigation was interviewed, Comey was plotting a course of action to make the decision not to recommend charges against her seem more palatable to the public.

     to be the new FBI Director.

2.  Comey whitewashed Hil-LIAR-y's crimes; how many OTHER crimes
     by how many OTHER politicians has Comey been covering up?

Also raises others, starting with Michael Flynn.   What?   Haven't we learned, Liberals will accuse others of the very things, they do themselves?  Sally Pencil-neck, who wouldn't give a single detail, said, Michael Flynn was "compromised"...  did she mistake Flynn for Comey?   Or was that deliberate.... throw the real investigation off the trail...?

Always remember Comey was appointed by Obama. In eight years he never made a "bi-partisan"(I hate the term) appointment.

I went searching and found nothing on Comey's wife but this just came up!

QuoteBig League Politics is reporting that Comey's brother, Peter Comey, works at the Washington law firm DLA Piper as the "Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas." DLA Piper has major ties to the Clinton Foundation, including being one of its top ten all-time career campaign donors, but that's not all.
From Big League Politics [emphasis mine]:
DLA Piper is one of Hillary Clinton's top ten all-time career campaign donors.
DLA Piper also does the Clinton Foundation's taxes. That's right. In fact, when the Clinton Foundation scandal broke, it was DLA Piper that performed the 2015 audit on the Foundation, which was supposed to be an independent audit for the appearance of propriety.
Property records show that James Comey owns the mortgage on his brother Peter Comey's house in Virginia. Therefore, James Comey had a direct financial relationship with a DLA Piper executive at the time he was investigating Clinton.
These relationships, though egregious, are symptomatic of the brazen culture of crony capitalism that exists in our nation's capital. The public usually is prevented from learning these kinds of things, with the mainstream media blocking information from coming out. Sunlight is the only remedy.

I've got tons of respect for builders, and a whole lot less for destroyers. Not the wrecking-ball professionals imploding skyscrapers, or the refurbishers stripping off old fascia to refresh and reuse something worth saving.

Today's destroyers are squatters ripping out anything worth reselling, human cockroaches ruining entire neighborhoods, cities, and potentially even whole states. We have a few hundred of them in Congress.

Those small jobs burying that trash, I'm not so sure the Cat folks would want to get involved.

Exactly! The real question is, why did Trump keep him around this long? The evidence points out that he should have been indicted as soon as Trump was seated.
Yeah, obviously a Clinton/Comey/Russian connection can be made, anyway, Comey obviously covered for her.

Good question. I realize there is a lot to do, unraveling the damage the Marxist party did over the last 8 years, but you'd think Trump would have had a group in place with a list of recommended replacements for the leftists.
Maybe it is time Trump quit playing gotcha with the press and focus on why he was elected.

Yep, it's one thing to taunt them, but another thing when it becomes the main focus of the presidency.

Not to go off topic, but the media war is failing. If as many people watched the news as the left wishes they did and believed their Marxist lies, the results would be far different than a leftist survey exposed about the failure of the media to portray Trump as losing the debate over Comey's firing.

A HuffPost/YouGov Survey released Thursday found that 33 percent of Americans say that Trump made the right decision in firing Comey, while 34 percent say he made the wrong decision. The remaining 33 percent aren't sure what to think about Comey's firing.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll also released Thursday found very similar results — 35 percent of Americans approve of Trump's decision, 33 percent thought he shouldn't have fired Comey, and 32 percent can't make up their minds.


http://www.westernjournalism.com/new-polls-reveal-deep-partisan-divides-comey-firing/

I know it was a bit off topic, but it exposes the left's failure to seize the narrative and distract from the truth, that it was Comey covering for Clinton.

Kepp in mind, this was a leftist poll designed to favor Dims, and this was the best they could produce? :lol:
But there's one thing that puzzles me, the absence of questions. Why did they leave them out of the public's view?

It would appear.... James Comey didn't like getting FIRED!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/politics/james-comey-trump-flynn-russia-investigation.html?smid=tw-share&_r=2
Quote"I hope you can let this go," the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump's request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump's associates and Russia.

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president's improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent's contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

What a bunch of baloney.  If you don't like your boss, save yourself the embarrassment of being FIRED and just quietly leave.
Now, that we know he won't go away quietly, he'll become a tool of the Democrats, and possibly all kinds of stuff will come out - with him ultimately taking the fall for Hillary.  Interesting... Comey is refusing to testify in public or closed door sessions.

They're all suggesting and implying that Trump acted improperly,
but Comey is not willing to outright say it under oath,
because he knows he'd be committing perjury.

I'm posting this here because I don't want to give this nonsense any credibility.
Ny Slimes article in on the big lie using one man's allegations as evidence Trump broke the law. But let's not forget, a memo is nothing more than hearsay, and for all we know, Comey may be part of an even bigger plot to bring down the President.

WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

"I hope you can let this go," the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The documentation of Mr. Trump's request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump's associates and Russia. Late Tuesday, Representative Jason Chaffetz, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, demanded that the F.B.I. turn over all "memoranda, notes, summaries and recordings" of discussions between Mr. Trump and Mr. Comey.

Such documents, Mr. Chaffetz wrote, would "raise questions as to whether the president attempted to influence or impede" the F.B.I.

They're back on Flynn now?  It must be Wednesday....
Yeah, tomorrow is TEA Thursday, where the LSM declares TEA is dead, for the ten thousandth time.
Friday is dump day, where they'll make up accusations against Trump, and claim "It's not the lack of evidence, but the seriousness of the allegation that's important.

Who is Comey trying to kid? He investigates Flynn for 8 months or more and still can't find evidence of a crime or any wrong doing, he comes out and says so PUBLICALLY. Nothing, NADA, Zip.....so why would Trump ask him to stop and investigation or "let him go"?

Now if he found "something" and an indictment or arrest was on the horizon that might make sense, but when there is nothing to be "let go" from......Comey is blowing smoke.

The other thing is, I guarantee you these conversations were recorded, probably by Trump, he never did trust Comey so the truth is on these tapes.

Exactly!
Despite Comey claiming he had notes of the meeting, notes written long after the fact, no doubt. Of which are nothing but a perfect example of hearsay.
If Trump releases tapes, this whole witch hunt will shift focus to the Dim party, which is why they are in full attack mode on Trump now.

When I've heard the phrase, "I hope you can let this go", I internally translated that as, "You need to let this go and move on to other things, because your obsession with it is not normal".  GOOD Advice for someone you see making a mess of themselves, and others.  We don't know the entire conversation, just this little bit which is being wrongly spun (IMO) as an order to stop doing something.  It Trump wanted Comey to STOP investigating, I think Trump would have said, "Stop investigating..."

The more I hear of Comey, the less I care for him.   He wants to take common language and twist it into a pretzel, create implications out of thin air, yeah, he's paranoid, and justify the Clinton debacle.... which he is responsible for.
In the end, I can't see how Comey isn't landing in jail.... before Clinton.

Same here, the guy has what he considers his own form of justice, Vigilante Justice, that is. Comey is a good little leftist and he sees it as a  duty to bring Trump down, even if that requires outright lying..
Let us assume for a moment what Comey believes is true, if that's the case, and he thought Trump asked him to drop an unfinished investigation, he was by law, obligated to turn over said evidence at that moment.
This is why I believe his notes were written after the fact, back when he suspected his time was running out. Yes, I believe they were later fabricated from spurious notes and memories.

Nobody is going to jail over this....unfortunately. To show what a scumbag weasel Comey is this was all done thru surrogates. "Somebody", not Comey contacted the NY slimes and "quoted" from the "memo" the NYT never received a copy of a "memo" if such actually exists. This was all done with an unsubstantiated call, supposedly.

In other words the NYT is taking it from an unverified source that this memo exists and this quote by Trump is contained therein.  I call BS, I say there IS no Memo, if there is then produce it, who authored it? is it a transcript from a tape? who taped who? and if there is a "Memo" from a transcripted tape then Comey is in a world of shit. Coz releasing such document is against his oath of office. ANd if its a fabricated lie then it would be jail time.

But Comey is too clever for that, he would never release such memo (if it exists) that's why he is using surrogates with unsubstantiated RUMOR. Hard to hold him accountable for something some other anonymous source supposedly did.

Then we would have to ask how this 'source' got hold of said 'memo' in the first place. My guess would be it was in the shredder....at least that is the excuse that will be given if asked to produce it.

Comey is now in a box. Both democrats and GOPe want to see the memo and talk with him. If he didn't feel the conversation was a problem he lets it go. If he felt it was a problem, why did he not report it at that time? Either way he has to get off the fence.

I would think Comey has enough to CHA.  I am sure after seeing what has happen to people, that the Clinton crime family done in in the past.  He has a lot put away that would come out if something happen to him.  Be It b o or Clinton's.  If it were me I have been putting things away for the last 9 years.

This memo that the New York Times claims exists  contradicts testimony
that both Comey and acting FBI director Andrew McCabe gave to Congress.
Both have testified that they were never pressured to back off of any investigation.

So either the memo doesn't exist,
or if it does exist, it's illegal because it's a falsified government document.

Or even if the alleged memo is true (which the Dems so desperately desire),
then both Comey and McCabe have committed perjury before Congress.

QuoteRosenstein: Comey Routinely 'Usurped' the DOJ

Meh... the guy thought he was the final authority, in everything he "graced"

QuoteA day after addressing the Senate, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein met with the members of the House of Representatives Friday to brief them on the firing of FBI Director James Comey. In his remarks, Rosenstein shared that he was dismayed by Comey's press conference from last July in which he "usurped" the Department of Justice and revealed findings from the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server. He was just as frustrated when Comey again circumvented the DOJ by sending a letter to Congress 11 days before the 2016 election revealing that he was reopening the investigation.

Well.... I guess it's not hard to imagine someone being smarter than an Obama groupie like Susan Rice.
Eric Holder doesn't strike me as a shining gem of brilliance, botching Obama's "fast and furious" scheme - who the heck comes up with stupid names like that....   Is "Idiot" fitting for Holder?   Even Lois Learner was a sneaky little weazel by comparison, but couldn't handle direct confrontation (banging on her neighbor's door to escape the press)...meh!

I'd guess... Comey thought he was just plain smarter than anyone else - and it's likely his house-of-lies is going to come tumbling down on him.   It won't be long before he's completely discredited, or... winds up in prison.   I bet he knows the Democrats won't so much as give him the time-of-day.

"Oh the tangled web we weave,
when we set out to deceive."

Here's the best option, cut a plea deal, stay out of prison for fingering Obama, Clinton, Rice, Loretta Lynch & lets not forget Valerie Jarrett    Some suspicion.... of wholesale corruption and for a complete list, take everything the Democrats are accusing Trump of ... just change the name to the correct Obama staffer & you might hit the jackpot!

this may be a dumb question but, didn't Comey back himself into a corner now? He swore the white house did not ask for dismissal of any case and his magic memo states other wise. One of his two statements is a lie. So he can either claim he perjured himself or claim he lied in the memo. Either way I see his reputation as shot and a good chance he will be the one going down.

I'm not convinced he authored any "memo" at all, This might be another figment of the NY'times imagination. This "revelation" is published based on a supposed "phone call" from an anonymous source who "read" excerpts from the "Memo".....Doesn't past muster, if there was a memo why not send it in, time stamped, dated and with Comey's signature. Until such time I consider it more fake news.

Then again Comey is slick enough to know anything in writting could be used against him one way or another no matter what he wrote, why else use 'surrogates" and why not send the actual memo or a photocopy of it?

So far, the memo has not been proven to exist.
It's only a New York Times story
based on an anonymous source.
We're not even sure the source exists,
other than a reporter's fabrication.

The Establishment media will maintain that the "memo" is true,
because that's what they want to be true.

Even if Comey goes to prison for perjury,

IMO - he overplayed his hand.  He thought he held the cards to "trump Mr. Trump" and walk away scott free, but finally, by a twist of fate, he's starting to get called on it - even though he's probably leaking a lot to the press ... "life insurance".  It's unraveling, and if it continues, the MSM will end up looking like fools - then turning on him like rabid dogs.

Wifey just said, "I don't know what it is about "him", I want to trust "him", and "he's" doing a lot of the right things, I just don't know."
I said, "James Comey....?!?!?"
"No, Donald Trump."

Pretty much summarizes the conflict I see between James Comey and Donald Trump.

I've trusted James Comey, until recently... just before the election, when he pronounced Hillary Clinton "innocent because lack of intent."
(never heard of that law before, and having been through security training several times, "intent" doesn't define releasing classified material, if you get caught with it - automatically guilty!)   Therefore, I absolutely do not trust James Comey - because I know he was making up crap about "intent", and I know he knows, but tried to play on the general public's ignorance.

I have not really trusted Donald Trump in the past, until this flap with Comey.  If it came down to a comparison between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, there's absolutely no contest. 

But, Comey...?   He's sort of like a COP gone bad.  No matter which way he tries to run, he's made his bargain with the Devil-in-Pansuits, and I suspect ... she's waiting for the opportunity to "cash in his chips".

What does Comey have left, a plea deal or make an immunity plea for testifying against his former bosses.
I expect him to become more and more irrational, saying and suggesting foolish things.

Maybe the best answer to "why did Comey back himself into a corner..." - he thought Hillary would win handily and give him cover.

Same here, the guy has what he considers his own form of justice, Vigilante Justice, that is. Comey is a good little leftist and he sees it as a  duty to bring Trump down, even if that requires outright lying..
Let us assume for a moment what Comey believes is true, if that's the case, and he thought Trump asked him to drop an unfinished investigation, he was by law, obligated to turn over said evidence at that moment.
This is why I believe his notes were written after the fact, back when he suspected his time was running out. Yes, I believe they were later fabricated from spurious notes and memories.

     Here's some more about Comey's obligation to notify the DOJ
     of any attempt to pressure him to drop an investigation:

https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2017/05/17/lets-see-j-edgar-comeys-memos-on-obama/

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Hey, I remember that James Comey in the Senate testimony
said that nobody ... had ever interfered or asked him to stop an investigation. ...
And I got that from the Times' own website. They have his testimony on there.
So their own website contradicts the memo story. That's point number one.

RUSH: Right. A, it's not just Comey; it's McCabe, the now acting director ...
he said it also in testimony late last week,
that there's been no interruption of any investigation, nobody tried to stop it.
...

RUSH: Gregg Jarrett at Fox News is a lawyer by training,
and he has posted a legal analysis at the Fox News website,
(titled) "<Comey's Revenge Is a Gun Without Powder> —
    http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/05/16/gregg-jarrett-comeys-revenge-is-gun-without-powder.html

"Here is what we do know. Under the law,
Comey is required to immediately inform the Department of Justice
of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person.
Failure to [inform the Department of Justice] would result in criminal charges against Comey.
(Title 18 U.S. Code 4  and  Title 28 U.S. Code 1361)
He would also, upon sufficient proof, lose his license to practice law" if he sat on news like this.
...

"But by writing a memo, Comey has put himself in a box.
If he now accuses the president of obstruction,
he places himself in legal jeopardy for failing to promptly and properly report it.
If he says it was merely an uncomfortable conversation,
he clears the president of wrongdoing
and sullies his own image as a guy who attempted to smear the man who fired him.
Either way, James Comey comes out a loser.
No matter. The media will hail him a hero.
After all, he gave them a good story that was better than the truth."

YEP, here it is in a nutshell, seven words that can be taken in any form, Hell, he may even have been talking about being fired and Trump asking Comey if:  "I hope you can let this go",

QuoteJames Comey, the recently fired FBI director, was asked by President Donald Trump to end an investigation into the actions of former national security adviser Michael Flynn,
This is where the lies started. This was ABC parroting NY Slimes, no one but Comey could make that assumption, that is unless Comey acquits himself of the claim and throws the Slimes reporter under the bus.
The rest is all assumption, but did this reporter CYA his own ass by recording the conversation?
I ask because, note the quote, there is a comma after the end, meaning it was taken out of context, it was not a completed sentence.
I have yet to see anyone mention the parsing of this. "I hope you can let this go,"

He should never have been picked to head the FBI. The Clinton's obviously got to him but more importantly he liked the attention and the cameras.

If Michael Flynn is dragged into this frakus...then Sally pencil-neck needs to come to!

This thing is taking on the look of political blackmailing Michael Flynn, and an attempt to cover up involvement of Obama administration hold-overs... with James Comey smack in the middle of a potential firing squad.

My burning question:  Will James Comey Purger himself... and be charged.   :drool: :drool: :drool:

I can just imagine what he's been thinking lately... "If I go down, there's a whole bunch of assholes I'm takin' with me, dammit!"

Agree, he's already proven he'll sell out anyone for personal gain, so yes, he'll cut a deal and the rest will burn.

We have to understand Flynn is an easy foil. He has proven to be a political whore to the highest spender. Therefore, the democrats have latched onto him.

That's how it turns out every time the "experts"
call someone "a man of great integrity."

That's one reason I'm skeptical of Mueller.

I think we're starting to get the answer to "Why did Comey cover for Clinton" - maybe he's in it up to his eyeballs, with Clinton.

IMO - anything beyond whatever has already been spoken - would only dig him in deeper, or possibly put him into a whole new perspective, namely, he knows a heck of a lot more about those Clinton emails than he's let on.   With Comey out-of-the-picture, maybe the Clinton investigations will start moving again. ... and maybe Comey is about to be swept into the other side (becoming a defendant)?

Poor Comey, if he does become a defendant, he will suddenly have a very short life expectancy.

I think Comey is better suited to be in congress rather than FBI director.
