This revelation comes courtesy of the Michael Horowitz inspector general report, which finally came out Thursday after a long round of editing by some of the people named in the report.
“We identified numerous instances in which Comey used a personal email account (Gmail account) to conduct FBI business. We cite five examples of such use in this section,” according to the inspector general report (page 425).
The report states: “We asked Comey about his use of personal email for FBI business and showed him the November 8, 2016 email with Rybicki as an example. Comey stated:
“I did not have an unclass[ified] FBI connection at home that worked. 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. Or if I needed to write something longer, I would type it on my personal laptop and then send it to Rybicki, usually I copied my own address…. Yeah. And so I would use, for unclassified work, I would use my personal laptop for word processing and then send it into the FBI.”
So, James Comey had a non-classified private email account at the same time he was investigating Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails off her private server.
That’s not all. He also claimed that he deleted every single email on his non-secure Gmail account, and tried to play that off as a noble thing.

Just like in the Nazi era, they knew how to follow orders - UNCRITICALLY. That was the #1 criteria.
Yep. Trust Dan The Man to tell it like it is. It DOES make sense. THAT is one of the main reasons he didn’t want to refer Clinton to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.
He was doing the same thing.
Bad for Comey, but not the same thing as Mrs. Clinton.
Remember... Hillary Clinton did not just use a “private email” ie Gmail account. She set up her own private server system in her home and used it for State Dept business. She has yet to give a plausible explanation for doing this instead of just using the secure State Dept system like everyone else there.
Upon the discovery of her secret private server, she lied about using it for classified and confidential information, shredded over at least 30,000 of the emails, and used bleachbit and hammers to further conceal the emails she lied about.
Then all of those emails and more were discovered on the laptop of her assistants husband who was later convicted and is now serving time in prison for sharing obscene material with a minor from that very same laptop.
The FBI learned about the laptop in Sept 2016, before the election, and concealed this information for over a month. One week before the election, confident that Clinton was going to win and not wanting her victory to be tainted, Comey “reopened” the email case... for one week... to permit a review of hundreds of thousands of emails, before declaring her innocent one again just two days before the election.
Not the same as just using a gmail account to send the odd memo to yourself out of convenience.
How is the guy leading the investigation into someone illegally using their private email to conduct government business supposed to proceed forth in his investigation when he’s guilty of exactly the same thing?
SMFH.....
But “No Bias”.
Well I don't know about "really delete" but I delete my Gmail emails all the time.
It's deleted but not really deleted. Pick a common word or term to search on in your Gmail Inbox that has been used alot in your emails, something like "Trump" or "baseball". Emails you received five years ago and deleted will show up again based upon the search item.
