Comey acted on Russian intel known to be fake: report
thehill.com ^ | 5/26/17 | Julia Manchester

Former FBI Director James Comey acted on key information created by Russian intelligence in the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails that he knew to be fake, CNN reported Friday.

Unidentified officials told CNN that Comey feared that if the information became public it would undermine the investigation as well as the Justice Department itself.

The false information reportedly spurred the then-FBI chief to publicly declare last summer that the investigation into Clinton’s emails was over. Meanwhile, Comey also said that Clinton had been “extremely careless” in her handling of classified information.

So not only did Comey LIE to Congress and commit PERJURY, he’s STUPID and INCOMPETENT too!

Comey needs to slip into a new set of drapes and take a swan dive off of the Golden Gate bridge.

I get it, there’s a leaked doc of Lynch obstructing Justice in collusion with the Hillary campaign. They’re trying to get in front of it by insisting it’s a Russian forgery to protect the people breaking the law.

WJC and Lynch on the tarmac is a strong foundation for the conspiracy. Having DWS join the party is icing on the cake. Comey had to be part of it. He would have been far better off if he would have written a report and handed it off to the AG and said nothing.

“The FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go; Russia sent the Obama Administration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigating him again.”

Oh, that meeting never took place... that story was the fake information the Russians planted in our media to try and make the Clintons look bad.

Wait! Now Hilary was cleared because of the Russians? Comey is one crazy lying bastard. This report doesn’t even make sense. We now have courts and prosecutors making crazy decisions because of what they “fear”? Are they kidding?!

Please don’t forget they let the Orlando mass murderer wife run around free until just before the inauguration because arresting her proved Trump was right about family complicity in terror.

Well, not really, because Lynch’s Deputy would have had to make the call on indictment or no. Obama wasn’t going to let his legacy be stained by TWO ATTORNEYS GENERAL being held in contempt of congress.

Comey went all out to protect zer AND HRC, as perhaps he wasn’t so sure HRC was going to win the election. By taking the mess on himself he thought he could salvage everybody’s legacy.

Let’s apply the “Trump standard”. Hilary wanted to admit millions more Muslims. The Orlando killer’s father sat behind her at a rally. The wife not arrested until after the election despite worst US mass murder ever. This was not evidence of foreign influence/ corruption? ??

Based on my posts above, why was no one spying on Hilary’s meetings and emails? ??

Seth Rich might have been spying on her.

Thank you. The whole proposition made no logical sense to me, either.

So there is an email,from DWS to Hillary promising Lynch will drop the investigation? Why would Russia create this? Sounds likely to me. Why should it be classified? Will anyone ask Comey about it?

The CNN report differs from a recent WaPo report. According to the WaPo, it is NOT true that Comey KNEW the report to be false; they still don't know. The authenticity of the report was, however, in dispute.

The report mentioned - by name - people in the Justice Department and in the Hillary campaign, and in a Soros-funded organization, and claimed that word was being passed around to insure the Hillary campaign that no charges would be filed in the email case. According to the WaPo, the FBI never interviewed ANY of the people mentioned in the report, just like they never examined the DNC's computer server.

I think this reporter is twisting the story 180 degrees... the Wash Po came out with the story first and it read quite differently.

According to the WaPo, the document in question was a Russian intelligence document that had somehow been intercepted by the FBI. The document made references to email communications between the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign, and a Soros-funded organization, more or less promising that the Clinton email case would come to nothing.

The authenticity of the information in the report was never known to be fake, but some in the FBI suspected that it was fake, while others disagreed. According to the WaPo, none of the specific individuals named in the report - including Debbie Wasserman Schultz - were ever interviewed by the FBI. This story lowers my view of the FBI even more.

They DON’T know it is fake.

They just want very much for us to believe it is fake.

They claim it’s fake only because Amanda Renteria claims she doesn’t know Lynch or some such thing.

That’d be a first in the Democratic party where everyone is incestuous as hell.
