During his congressional hearing yesterday, Director James Comey of the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not face any heat from regarding a review which was released of his “professional history and relationships.”
The review includes connections to Lockheed Martin, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Holdings, and financial ties to his brother, Peter Comey at the DLA Piper law firm.
Per Breitbart News:
These concerns focus on millions of dollars that Comey accepted from a Clinton Foundation defense contractor, Comey’s former membership on a Clinton Foundation corporate partner’s board, and his surprising financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey, who works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.
Breitbart reports the review says the FBI Director received several million dollars from a Clinton Foundation donor:
How much money did James Comey make from Lockheed Martin in his last year with the company, which he left in 2010? More than $6 million in compensation.
Lockheed Martin is a Clinton Foundation donor. The company admitted to becoming a Clinton Global Initiative member in 2010.
The review goes on to highlight his tenure at HSBC Holdings, a company which often partners with the Clinton Foundation:
“Mr. Comey’s appointment will be for an initial three-year term which, subject to re-election by shareholders, will expire at the conclusion of the 2016 Annual General Meeting,” according to HSBC company records.
HSBC Holdings and its various philanthropic branches routinely partner with the Clinton Foundation.
James Comey’s connection with his brother, Peter Comey, may also reveal connections to the Clinton Foundation:
Peter Comey serves as “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas” for DLA Piper. James Comey was not questioned about his relationship with Peter Comey in his confirmation hearing.
DLA Piper is the firm that performed the independent audit of the Clinton Foundation in November during Clinton-World’s first big push to put the email scandal behind them. DLA Piper’s employees taken as a whole represent a major Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign donation bloc and Clinton Foundation donation base.
DLA Piper ranks #5 on Hillary Clinton’s all-time career Top Contributors list, just ahead of Goldman Sachs.
Good grief....that whole "keep your friends close..." canard is not just puerile, but utterly asinine.
He should!
The entire government is SO evil, SO corrupt, and SO far gone, and he is getting SUCH bad advice to NO advice, that it is stomach turning.
You could be very wrong.
Politics was as mother's milk to me and I have been immersed in it, since birth; one way or another.
I have also been one of THE biggest TRUMPERS, since he threw his hat into the ring...so please, don't even think about going there.
The one major problem with "outsiders" and WHY people worry about them running for president, before ever having held any elected position/been a part of the government, is because they don't know enough people/who to put in place in the multiple 1,000s of positions. Therefor, they must rely on others for advice.
I didn't think that that would be all THAT big problem for the president, but I was looking at things through rose colored glasses and giving him more credit, than I should of, I now see.
Just look at just ONE of his ambassadorial picks; the one for Luxembourg. I know her, I KNOW all about her, as a matter of fact. This is just a pay-off to a sort of "friend", but she is about as qualified as Caroline Kennedy was...or less. But this isn't really all THAT important, in the scheme of things now. It's just a teensy example of my disapointment of where he is coming from.
Frankly, your first sentence does not help your case.
What about the rest of my post?
I suppose that you don't want to believe any of that either. LOL
Well, it's the truth and I know more about Georgette than The Donald does and most assuredly far more about her and her family than YOU do. I doubt you even know who she is, nor that she is up for an abassadorship.
I think Trump is playing the long game too, although it is very stressful to us. Over the weekend Trump made a statement about how this will all come out in the next 2 weeks and low and behold Nunez comes out and drops a bomb 2 days after Comey’s dog and pony show. If Trump doesn’t get some traction soon things may go bad, but you can’t expect him to best the deep state overnight. The entire globalist oligarchy is against him, there’s a lot on the line here.
“Trump’s a DAMNED FOOL for keeping him and getting extremely BAD advice! “
Or a damned genius for letting Comey stick around to perjure himself, and use him as an example for draining the swamp.
I suspect that there's been MORE than enough info on Comey, for the president to have gotten rid of him long ago. And as far as "using him as an example"....that's just silly. The LEAKS, alone, are reason enough and good examples enough, to have fired the vast majority of the FBI, the CIA, and those in 15 other such departments!
The rest of your post made it worse, especially the irrelevant part about Luxembourg.
My impression is you’re speculating wildly and jumping to conclusions.
No it isn’t and that you are incapable of seeing what that ambassadorship means ( though in truth, it’s hardly a big deal and just the USUAL, CORRUPT PAYOFF ), is more than enlightening about your abject lack of grasping what I was talking about; vis-a-vis politics. LOL
I agree. To expect it to happen quickly, or even to be straightforward is very unreasonable given the magnitude of things.
But in a "COLD WAR" ( which is what the president is now facing, re the DEEP WHATEVER/PROPAGANDA WARS ) PROPAGANDA wins the day. It was, after all, PROPAGANDA that led to WW I and trench warfare!
You are the one who is assuming things, based on no info and NO facts at all; just your “feelings”!
Are you saying that if I research all past and future ambassadors to Luxembourg then I might know what President Trump’s most secret plans are?
Never mind....live in your own imagination and please do, continue to ignore past political history and reality. You'll sleep better.......
