Now we know that not only did Hillary Clinton show intent in her handling of classified materials routed through her private server, but that former FBI Director James Comey and his team showed intent in letting her get away with it to the detriment of American national security.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, in a Thursday letter to current FBI Director Christopher Wray, reveals how edits to Comey’s exoneration memo went beyond changing “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless” but edited out content that shows the FBI knew Hillary was intentionally in violation of the Espionage Act but that, since the decision to exonerate her had already been made, they had to submit to the annals of history a lie they agreed upon:
Newly released documents obtained by Fox News reveal that then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft statement on the Hillary Clinton email probe was edited numerous times before his public announcement, in ways that seemed to water down the bureau’s findings considerably.Indeed this does raise profound questions. Coupled with the text messages of lead investigator, FBI Agent Peter Strzok,who has become known as the Zelig of the FBI who mysteriously appeared at every controversial moment, expressing clear intent to prevent the election of Donald Trump, we have before us a criminal conspiracy in which the most powerful law enforcement agency on this planet conspired with one political party to defeat the candidate of the other:Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to the FBI on Thursday that shows the multiple edits to Comey’s highly scrutinized statement.
In an early draft, Comey said it was “reasonably likely” that “hostile actors” gained access to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account. That was changed later to say the scenario was merely “possible.”
Another edit showed language was changed to describe the actions of Clinton and her colleagues as “extremely careless” as opposed to “grossly negligent.” This is a key legal distinction.
Johnson, writing about his concerns in a letter Thursday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, said the original “could be read as a finding of criminality in Secretary Clinton’s handling of classified material.”
“This effort, seen in light of the personal animus toward then-candidate Trump by senior FBI agents leading the Clinton investigation and their apparent desire to create an ‘insurance policy’ against Mr. Trump’s election, raise profound questions about the FBI’s role and possible interference in the 2016 presidential election and the role of the same agents in Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation by President Trump,” Johnson said.
The letter reveals specific edits made by senior FBI agents when Deputy Director Andrew McCabe exchanged drafts of Comey's statement with senior FBI officials, including Peter Strzok, Strzok's direct supervisor, E.W. "Bill" Priestap, Jonathan Moffa, and an unnamed employee from the Office of General Counsel (identified by Newsweek as DOJ Deputy General Counsel Trisha Anderson) - in what was a coordinated conspiracy among top FBI brass to decriminalize Clinton's conduct by changing legal terms and phrases, omitting key information, and minimizing the role of the Intelligence Community in the email investigation. Doing so virtually assured that then-candidate Hillary Clinton would not be prosecuted.Imagine what was at stake here. If the FBI had just followed the evidence where it led and drew the obvious conclusions, Hillary Clinton would have been indicted, the Democratic Party would have been irreparably shattered, with Donald Trump winning in a popular vote as well as electoral vote landslide. This, in the view of a corrupted and politicized FBI had to be prevented at all costs and the Comey memo had to be sanitized before its release:

These people no longer identified with Americans. They must worship at the altar of power and misplaced intrigue, Clinton style, never even hearing Trump’s message for and of the people, crying out for justice and deploring decadence, lawlessness and socialism.
You are “all in” on this IG Report. Why do you think that report will matter? The IG has one duty in this case. IG is there to investigate Hillary clinton and the email server issue. There will be no investigation into the FBI/DOJ giving Hillary a pass on this issue. The IG has released some info recently which has been helpful. That is a diversion from the current scansals. The IG has no power. The report will be accepted and reviewed by Rosenstein & McCabe. Do you think they are going to investigate themselves? Mueller? Until these people are removed the IG’s report will be a scrap of paper.
Let’s cut to the chase: There is no way to go after Hildog for improper use if private email since Barry knew it and used it himself. We cannot have Barry as a co-conspirator and participant and have any legal jeopardy fall to him, too.
An employee leaving a back door open for an intrusion is collusion. How many cattle shares or White Water titles could that be worth?
Looked it up: May 17, 2017...back to the WWW for context to fill in the blanks....
That's the official story. Back it up several months for the events that truly set it in motion. Mueller conspired with FBI/DOJ officials before the inauguration.
Let us hear from the agent who wrote the original, unedited draft. It should be very interesting to get his/her assessment of the case before the big shots watered it down into hog swill.
It’s just sex.
Yeah, yeah. Lock her up or shut up.
Well said, Ron Johnson! As clear as crystal.
Had to be substantial, remember, Comey and his involvement with the HSBC bank.
Another bank that’s involved in these scandals is the Canadian/S African TD Bank
Not the reporter so much as going after a police officer for talking with a reporter...
I think this is the link he was talking about:
The FBI Has Released New Info About Loretta Lynch’s Tarmac Meeting With Bill Clinton

McCain acknowledging receipt of the dossier to Comey.
The cover up & set up begins.
Dems begin to press back, encouraging Sessions to recuse, he does.
Rosenstein takes the DOJ wheel for anything Hillary/emails.
Later, Dems file ethics complaint against Nunes to side-line his effort of getting ‘too close’, & he steps aside while complaint is settled.
Trump fires Comey (due his handling on email issue), on recommendation of Rosenstein, who then names Mueller as special counsel.
Have I missed something critical?
Collusion & cover up still in progress....all to affect a presidential election & now to impede Trump.
McCain is a stooge -- a useful idiot. He's not a good guy, but he is not a critical player.
Nunes is a good guy, but his role came in super late. He's a detective investigating the crime after it has been committed.
Comey and Rosenstein are not good guys. They have helped the conspirators, but they are not the central players.
Sessions. Can't figure him out. He was duped by the Dems into recusing himself on an awful lot of things. (Including the unrelated Uranium One scandal. You can't investigate Uranium One without investigating the Clinton Foundation, and Sessions recused himself from investigating the Clintons.) Sessions seems to be in a position to help, but so far I haven't seen any help.
Emails/texts involving Sally Yates will be coming out soon. Once you see those, revise your theory.
The Yates emails I want you to pay attention to were sent prior to the inauguration. The emails involving Yates that have been released already were sent after the inauguration and go to the mindset of Yates and Andrew Weissmann. Those are not the ones I’m talking about.
There’s only one person who could give the order at least an order that would be obeyed and he’s not Hillary.
We already knew from Strzok and Page’s texts that they were after the reporter who revealed the tarmac meeting.
