In two tweets on Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump returned to the subject of former FBI Director James Comey, once again showing frustration with his own Justice Department.
"Wow, FBI confirms report that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete. Many people not interviewed, including Clinton herself. Comey stated under oath that he didn't do this-obviously a fix? Where is Justice Dept?" Trump asked.
"As it has turned out, James Comey lied and leaked and totally protected Hillary Clinton. He was the best thing that ever happened to her!" Trump added in a third tweet.
Meanwhile, Clinton herself, in recent appearances to promote her new book, continues to blame Comey for her election defeat.
As Fox News reported, "Newly released FBI records...confirmed that Comey drafted a statement on the Clinton case two months before interviewing her and eventually recommending no criminal charges."
According to the report, Comey's email exchange with colleagues came to light after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reviewed transcripts of interviews with top Comey aides who alluded to the emails.
"According to the senators, the transcripts show Comey began drafting an 'exoneration statement' for Clinton two months before as many as 17 key witnesses were interviewed and the FBI case was closed," Fox News reported.
On July 5, Comey announced that, "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
Comey's announcement came one week after then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with Bill Clinton in a remote area of an airport in Arizona.

FBI & DOJ are both corrupt
Now can we use the 2nd amendment?!
There is not one honest neuron in the entire DOJ,
and not one testicle in all of Congress.
The American People are FED UP.
Like everything else having to do with Clinton, the Democrats and the “swamp” the response is: “Nothing to see here...move on.”
Justice Dept is part of executive branch.
Trump is in charge of executive branch.
Trump, do something.
He’s the President. Stop tweeting and start firing. He’s not powerless here..
I long time coming, but well-worded and properly public.
HF
There. I've rewritten what should have been said.
They certainly seem to be particularly special agencies in the swamp that is DC. Which puzzles me even more why Trump didn't appoint more of a bulldog to AG than Sessions.
Calm over?
You’re the President clean up the DOJ/FBI or is he about to
Justice is for the $hit-upon, not for the ruling elite. The law does not apply to all equally.
We did away with the monarchy back in the 1700’s. No more hereditary power. No more immunity from prosecution. Only it didn’t work. We’re back to where we were. It does absolutely no good to jail the little people if the big people are immune.
Somebody send that French Horn Quintet to Jeff Sessions office. Have them practice from the Song Book of Crescendos.
That might wake him up... Might.
You're the president now...you can fix this.
I don't know. Trump's the chief executive and the Justice Department is an executive branch agency last time I checked. Why doesn't Trump just grab the phone and ask?
There is not one honest neuron in the entire DOJ,
and not one testicle in all of Congress.
The American People are FED UP.

Yeh...all dressed up and nowhere to go, no means to get there, nobody to go with...
SOS! (same old...
Fed up is an understatement.
Swamp Sessions is the absolute worst. Amazing he was able to fool so many people.
SO you’ve figured it out eh?
Everyone knows Trump has but to pick up the phone, or better yet ask his AG at one of their meetings. So of course this is misdirection, not a “real” question.
To think he’d ask such a question on social media as if he really was searching for an answer would imply that Trump is as delusional as the looney left keeps saying he is. I don’t think that - do you?
