James Comey decided to exonerate Hillary Clinton months before interviewing key witnesses

August 31, 2017

  According to this story James Comey decided to exonerate Hillary Clinton months before interviewing key witnesses in her email scandal. One of those key witnesses of course was Hillary Clinton herself.

  Here is more:

According to new transcripts released by the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday afternoon, former FBI Director James Comey made the decision not to refer then Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for prosecution long before ever interviewing key witnesses. Members of the Committee allege Comey made the decision months before FBI agents were finished with the criminal investigation into her mishandling of classified information during her time as Secretary of State. 

“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.  That was long before FBI agents finished their work.  Mr. Comey even circulated an early draft statement to select members of senior FBI leadership.  The outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while FBI agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts,” the letter, signed by Chairman Chuck Grassley and Committee member Lindsey Graham states. “Conclusion first, fact-gathering second—that’s no way to run an investigation.  The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy.”

According to the letter and an ongoing investigation into the matter, Comey started drafting a statement exonerating Clinton in April or May of 2016. At this point, he had not interviewed Clinton herself or her closest aides. This included Bryan Pagliano, who set up the personal server where Clinton hosted and shared top secret information, and Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, who was granted immunity.

  This was shortly before the infamous Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting. Not that we did not know this already but the fix was in from the beginning, this is just more proof.

    Some politicians are just “too busy” counting and wondering ‘what to do with all their money’ coming in. I just heard about this but this happened in March:
    “Congress Votes to Allow Broadband Providers to Sell Your Data Without Your Permission”
    http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2017/03/28/congress_votes_to_allow_broadband_providers_to_sell_your_data.html
    ‘In a defeat for digital privacy advocates, the House of Representatives voted Tuesday to allow internet service providers to sell information about consumers’ browsing history without their knowledge or consent.
    The bill repeals FCC the broadband privacy rules passed during the final months of the Obama administration. In addition to protecting customer data, the rules, which never had a chance to go into effect, also required the providers to notify customers when they experienced a data breach. The Senate voted to revoke the rules last week.’
