EXCLUSIVE: FBI Agents Say Comey ‘Stood In The Way’ Of Clinton Email Investigation
The Daily Caller ^ | October 17th, 2016 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 10/17/2016 5:09:00 PM PDT by Mariner

FBI agents say the bureau is alarmed over Director James Comey’s decision to not suggest that the Justice Department prosecute Hillary Clinton over her mishandling of classified information.

According to an interview transcript given to The Daily Caller, provided by an intermediary who spoke to two federal agents with the bureau last Friday, agents are frustrated by Comey’s leadership.

“This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have been convened, but was not. That is appalling,” an FBI special agent who has worked public corruption and criminal cases said of the decision. “We talk about it in the office and don’t know how Comey can keep going.”

The agent was also surprised that the bureau did not bother to search Clinton’s house during the investigation.

I think it is a simple situation. Comey was probably threatened that he ought to cooperative with the Clintons and their Mafioso family.

Wikileaks has also exposed the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts was also threatened concerning the court case on Obamacare. It explains why Robert’s explanation that Obamacare is simply a matter of taxation or some such nonsensical statement.

The degree of corruption is unfathomable. Probably a similar explanation for the Benghazi fiasco and the gigantic lies they told to cover up their incompetence and neglect.

In other words, do whatever is best for the Clintons, and who cares - or what difference does it make - what the fallout is or what harm happens to our country or our fellow citizens.

I'd be interested in hearing what the former FBI director, Robert Mueller, thinks about all this. Obama replaced him with Comey in 2013 - the year Hilliary left as SOS.

Playing Uniparty games is a dangerous road.

You think Trump is going to let up on ANY card he has to play?

And to top it all off - it LOOKS like the Elites are pulling the strings. Playing the schoolyard bully and sneering "Whaddayagonnadoaboutit" might not flush this time.

Time to file a formal complaint against the CPA firm for lack of independence in issuing an audit report.

For the youngsters here: (Per Wiki)

The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate,[1] arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to Federal Bureau of Investigation security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House’s Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission.

The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors. Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position.

Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.

“Filegate” began on June 5, 1996, when Republican Pennsylvania Congressman William F. Clinger, Jr., chair of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, announced that the committee had found, during their ongoing “Travelgate” investigations, that FBI background reports on Travelgate figure Billy Dale had been delivered to the White House.[2] The following day, the White House delivered to the committee hundreds of other such files related to White House employees of the Reagan Administration and George H. W. Bush Administration,[2] for which Craig Livingstone, director of the White House’s Office of Personnel Security,[3] had improperly requested and received background reports from the FBI in 1993 and 1994, without asking permission of the subject individuals.[4] Estimates ranged from 400 to 700 to 900 unauthorized file disclosures.[5][6][7][8] The incident caused an intense burst of criticism because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top figures such as James Baker, Brent Scowcroft, and Marlin Fitzwater.[6]

Who hired Livingstone issue?

Livingstone seemed to lack qualifications for even this position; he had worked on a number of Democratic Party campaigns and transitions,[19] including being an advance man for the Clinton-Gore 1992 campaign,[3] and his only prior job in the “security” field was that of a local bar bouncer[5] at a Washington, D.C., night club. Livingstone would continue to maintain on the Internet that he had been qualified for the position, that the First Lady had signed off on hiring him, and that his character had been maligned by the general media.[21]) Clinton opponents stated that Livingstone had the highest level of security clearances in the U.S. government.[22] White House officials could not explain why Livingstone was hired, nor who had hired him.[14]

An FBI document suggested that Livingstone had been given his position because First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was a friend of Livingstone’s mother and recommended him. Hillary Clinton stated that while she was once photographed with the mother in a large group, she did not know her.[20]

Hillary Clinton was briefly deposed at the White House by the Independent Counsel regarding this matter on January 14, 1998.[13][23] (That same day, the same Office of the Independent Counsel staff were listening to taped conversations of Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky; the Lewinsky scandal was soon to break.[23]) In 1999, Clinton gave a sworn statement that she had nothing to do with Livingstone’s hiring.[8] Livingstone also stated under oath there was no truth to the supposed hiring relationship.[8] Hillary Clinton would later refer to the whole files matter as a “pseudoscandal”.[20]

Truth has been spoken and the people believe that the FBI has violated its trust. Even the crooked polls show that 60 percent believe the vile Hillary is guilty of many crimes wrt the emails.

Everyone can see that she should have been prosecuted and Comey failed the American people. It isn’t difficult to work out.

yeah, cause who needs a paycheck to take care of their family, their children.

Easy to talk tough at home on the couch.

it’s not their job to quit or ruin their careers.

It’s congress’ job to be all over this. And the press’ job.
