Bad intel from Russia influenced Comey's Clinton announcement: report
thehill.com ^ | 5/24/17 | Katie Bo Williams

Former FBI Director James Comey’s controversial decision to detail the FBI’s findings in the Hillary Clinton email case without Justice Department input was influenced by a dubious Russian document that the FBI now considers to be bad intelligence, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The secret document, which purported to be a piece of Russian intelligence, claimed that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch had privately assured someone in the Clinton campaign that the investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information would go nowhere.

But according to people familiar with the matter, by August the FBI had come to believe the document was unreliable — and in fact may have been planted as a fake to confuse the FBI.

“Attorney General Loretta Lynch had privately assured someone in the Clinton campaign that the investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information would go nowhere.”

You don’t have to e Ivan Bondski to figure that one out.

"... the document was unreliable — and in fact may have been planted as a fake to confuse the FBI."

Confusion and falsity was S.O.P. in the Obama/Clinton/Lynch/Comey/Brennan administration.

So Comey was duped by Putin, and this is Trump’s fault.

Comey responded to this false information by appointing himself Attorney General For A Day, and this too is Trump’s fault.

This report of a document being false is itself false.

What does the term "unreliable" actually mean? It doesn't mean "false".

Now they are trying to figure out a way to back themselves out of all this. So what is their strategy? Blame the Russians to justify all their mistakes.

You have to ask yourself -
"If Comey and the 0bama regime fell for 'bad intel' about this, what else are the so-called 'intelligence agencies' relying upon to make assessments that might also be bad?"

US intelligence seems to be quite adroit at bad intelligence.

This is a completely bogus “news item”, produced only to confuse. 100% disinformation.

So, then, HRC really IS POTUS if you add back in the votes that Comey lost her with this false evidence.

So what did Trump have to do with any of this crapola. It’s all Comeys fault, whatever that is.

And Trump used the Russians to pull Comey's strings like a puppetmaster, which is why Trump fired him.

But, really, Obama sabotaged HRC on purpose by planting this false evidence. That’s two men against one woman, unfair. DJT needs to hand the CINC keys over to her.

Am I getting this right? /s

Ha so now anything that documentes the complete corruption of the Obama Admin and the DNC is going to be dismissed as “the Russians did it”.

We use to laugh at how obvious the old Soviet Union was in its propaganda. Our media is now reach the same level of political corruption and incompetence.

If it’s bad it ain’t “ intel”
It’s disinformation or fiction or both
