DOJ Inspector General: James Comey Used Personal Email To Conduct FBI Business
Breitbart ^ | 6-14-2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 06/14/2018 2:16:52 PM PDT by blam

Former FBI Director James Comey used his personal Gmail account to conduct official bureau business, the Justice Department Inspector General’s report concludes. According to the report:

On November 8, 2016, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account a proposed post-election message for all FBI employees that was entitled “Midyear thoughts.” This document summarized Comey’s reasoning for notifying Congress about the reactivation of the Midyear investigation. In late December 2016, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account multiple drafts of a proposed year-end message to FBI employees. On December 30, 2016, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account proposed responses to two requests for information from the Office of Special Counsel.

On January 6, 2017, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account an email from Rybicki to Kortan highlighting language that needed to be corrected in a Wall Street Journal article. In mid-March 2017, Comey sent from his personal email account to his own and Rybicki’s unclassified FBI accounts multiple drafts of Comey’s proposed opening statement for his March 20, 2017 testimony to the House Intelligence Committee.

In an interview with Justice Department investigators, Comey confirmed he used both a personal email account and device, explaining he only used them when handling unclassified information.

“I did not have an unclass[ified] FBI connection at home that worked,” Comey told watchdog investigators. “And I didn’t bother to fix it, whole ‘nother story, but I would either use my BlackBerry, must have been or Samsung…my phone, I had two phones—a personal phone and a government phone. And so I would use, for unclassified work, I would use my personal laptop for word processing and then send it into the FBI.”

Seems to have been a strangely common practice among members of Emperor Zero’s administration. Hmmm.....what a coincidence!

<><> Hillary’s private server,

<><> Susan Rice’s Unmasking,

<><> John Podesta’s Russian deals,

<><> Huma and Cheryl Mills’ self-serving activities at State.

<><> The missing $6 billion at Hillary’s State Dept,

<><> Huma’s cousin pigging out at the State Dept trough,

<><> Sid Blumenthal’s haul from the State Dept,

<><>Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame’s hubby) $43 million haul-—helping himself to the State Dept cookie jar,

Personally, I have hope we will see something different this time. I didn’t think NK was gonna happen a year ago. This time we might see some perpwalks.

Sure something will come of all this.
The GOP will use this as a political tool to keep the base fired up.
This is what is always done.
However, legal Justice will never be delivered.
Same as it always is. 911 report, Bengazi, Clinton emails and
now this.
No one ever pays a legal price in DC.

"But even in hindsight I think we chose the course most consistent with institutional values."

That was the problem, the institutional values are corrupt.

Interesting link, but so what? Hilary did it and worse,Obama did it and knew ALL about ( probably was running the show ) what was going on, and the way this is being ladled out...NOTHING is going to happen to any of the traitors; not a one of ‘em.

I would guess half of Congress did the same. Partially explains some of the retirements.

Our entire Federal Government is corrupt.
