Comey is wealthy on his own. Estimated at $11-15 mil. Probably three or fours times that squirreled away. Remember he was a banker and a money guy.

I still don’t get it. Comey’s famous diatribe on Clinton was DEVASTATING! That it didn’t meet the standard for being “illegal” (so HE says), doesn’t wipe away all the rotten, campaign ending stuff you just said.

Why did he essentially DESTROY Clinton? Because he thought she was going to WIN? NOT!

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

It makes perfect sense if you start with the assumption that Comey was running a private espionage ring out of his FBI office.

Whoever is behind this is trying to strengthen the case that Hillary was wronged in the election.

They are trying to keep her viable as a leader of the party and a possible candidate for another run in 2020...

Podesta received Russian money?

While working for Hillary?

$35 million?

Shoot for that kind of money old Podesta leaked his personal emails to WiliLeaks and has been playing double agent with Putin and the gang.

Wait til Hubba Bubba gets a load of this!

He is a funny guy. I am sure he was tired of being under Clinton’s thumb, and the more public his inept ‘defense’ of her(”sloppy and negligent, but not criminal”), the safer for him and his family.

And maybe he feared for her as leader of the free world.

That’s my take.

Here is the scenario I felt matched the facts the best.

Reports surface in Spring 2016 that the FBI has completed its investigation into Clinton's misuse of her private email server while SoS.

Public pressure builds for the results of the investigation to be announced.

Lynch announces she will follow the recommendation of the FBI. That declaration (from a strictly PR viewpoint) takes the political appointee out of the loop and throws the weight of the decision on to the nonpartisan (!!) Director of the FBI, Mr. Comey.

Public pressure builds for the results of the investigation to be announced.

Lynch has her chat with Bill on the tarmac at Phoenix International.

Public pressure builds for the results of the investigation to be announced.

Clinton needs this problem to go away before the DNC convention in July.

Party pressure builds for the results of the investigation to be announced that does not damage Hillary so badly she cannot recover and get elected President.

Comey has his "extremely reckless behavior but prosecution not recommended" news conference. He also promises Congress at subsequent hearings to reopen the investigation if new information about the emails comes to light.

Clinton enemies seize on the "extremely reckless" part of the press conference while Clinton supporters focus on "no indictment recommended" part.

Although bruised by the "extremely reckless" criticism, Clinton can now go forward to claim the nomination paving the way to her inevitable election.

MSM press attention shifts to full throated support for Clinton. Talk about the emails dies down.

In early October, the NYPD as part of an underage sexting investigation, seizes the laptop of Anthony Weiner, the husband of Clinton's close aide, Huma Abelin. In addition to incriminating sexting evidence, they find many thousands of Clinton's emails.

Word is leaked to the press.

In late October, Comey, caught in his earlier promise to reopen the investigation if necessary, is compelled to notify the Congress (and the press through leaked documents) that the FBI has reopened the case to see if the new evidence will change his earlier recommendation.

Although the agency somehow manages to got through thousands of emails and determine they cause no change in its earlier findings and recommendation, the damage is done. It reawakens the controversy in the minds of an already less than unenthusiastic public.

The fake Russian memo - if it existed at the time and if it was not, in fact, cooked up by the FBI itself - is simply cover for Comey to justify direct announcement of the findings. Findings that were already precooked by Democratic insiders who knew there had to be very significant (but not fatal) criticism of Clinton's behavior to counterbalance the no prosecution recommendation.

fake news? fake documents? pure lies?

All ComDem SOP.

Remember the Killion Letters on “W”, Dan Rather’s fake but real?

ComDems always lie. They must, if they told the truth no one would ever elect them. Headshake.

Comey needed to be fired. Nobody seems to understand what his intentions were, and now it has to investigated for the next 10 years. Need to fire more of them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And “fixer” Ken Starr was brought in to play the role of Comey.

Starr finally got what he deserved when his gig at Baylor University blew up over yet another coverup.

so i found this, which is not quite clear to me as the time line seems fuzzy...

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-possibly-fake-russian-document-affected-fbis-investigation-into-clinton/

could all the header information in an email be faked, if it was an actual sent email ?

Apparently James Comey had access to a LOT of fake documents

So you're saying he had a New York Times subscription?
