Immunity agreements offered to two of Hillary Clinton's top aides prevented the FBI from looking into the circumstances surrounding the use of BleachBit, a digital deletion tool, to destroy the former secretary of state's emails.
In a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch Wednesday, four Republican committee chairmen demanded to know why Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, two witnesses who also served as Clinton's personal attorneys, were granted such expansive protections despite the FBI's awareness that they had participated in potentially illegal activities.
For example, the FBI agreed to limit its search to emails written after June 1, 2014, but before Feb. 1, 2015. By doing so, investigators were barred from looking at emails authored around the time Mills and David Kendall, Clinton's lead attorney, held a pair of conference calls with technology contractor Paul Combetta that immediately preceded his use of BleachBit to erase thousands of Clinton's emails.
The GOP lawmakers noted that, before the FBI signed off on the immunity deals, "it already knew of the conference calls between Secretary Clinton's attorneys and Mr. Combetta, his use of BleachBit and the resulting deletions, further casting doubt on why the FBI would enter into such a limited evidentiary scope of review with respect to the laptops."
Exactly! This spin is turning the purpose of immunity deals on its head. Total BS.
Comey has millions of dollars so it’s not like he really needs this government job.
Comey has already done favors for the Clintons so it’s not like he needs to be afraid of them.
He’s just a company man.
“They are breaking procedural rule after rule with impunity and everyone knows it!”
If you can find a way to tell them, maybe CONGRESS would like to know about all of this stuff?
*SMIRK*
We’re So Screwed.
The FBI is no different than the other agencies who have been corrupted by Dear Leader/Mrs. Clinton. Combine Chicago and Arkansas quality slime and you can do many things a lot faster. They are successfully destroying our country.
Satan is going to wear down all the tread off Hillary to the belts before he throws her away. Apparently.
It’s not really that hard to understand ... Comey is a cheap trick that the Clintons pass around like party favors ... hey, want to rent Comey, 2 bits for two minutes ... a good time guy!
F-ing fbi has been compromised.
Like the Justice dept.
The I.R.S.
And nearly every other federal gub mint agency under this , magic negro.
The one that loves every damn thing mooselimb.
Hey America, you elected this piece of crap.
Hope your slave guilt has been covered.

On Day 1, Trump needs to clean house at the Justice Department and the FBI. During the “lame duck” period, a special task force of “Untouchable” Federal Prosecutors with experience winning convictions against organized crime figures, should be quietly recruited.
Such a task force, working in concert with the Secret Service, needs to be prepared to hit the ground running armed with search warrants, subpoenas, arrest warrants et. al. They need to raid the offices of Attorney General Lorretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, and all other staff who have had anything whatsoever to do with the Clinton Email Criminal Investigation and related matters swept under the rug by the Obama Administration.
The Secret Service will be acting well within its purview to “investigate financial and computer-based crimes.”
It must be assumed that the outgoing Obama Administration will act to destroy any and all records, hard drives, thumb drives et. al. that have not already been shredded, bleach-bitted, smashed or “lost” during the course of the aborted investigation, before the Trump Administration takes over. But it should be made clear to Obama Administration officials that the Trump Administration full intends to prosecute any such acts to the fullest extent of the law.
We shall test Director Comey’s assertion that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case” by actually identifying and appointing reasonable prosecutors with the integrity determination to follow the law and bring all culpable parties to justice.
