James Comey Internal Memo – Explains Why He Informed Congress of Clinton Investigation…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | October 29, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 10/29/2016 8:34:25 AM PDT by bobsunshine

In an internal memo obtained by Fox News, FBI director James Comey explains the reasoning why he sent the investigation notification to congress in advance of the 2016 Presidential election. (here is the full text of the memo) To all:

“This morning I sent a letter to congress in connection with the Secretary Clinton email investigation. Yesterday, the investigative team briefed me on their recommendation with respect to seeking access to emails that have recently been found in an unrelated case. Because those emails appear to be pertinent to our investigation, I agreed that we should take appropriate steps to obtain and review them”.

“Of course we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record”.

“At the same time, however, given that we do not know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression. In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter, and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directly from me about it.”

I suspect Ms. Abedin was keeping a Pearl Harbor file by bcc’ing Mr. Wiener of particularly incriminating e-mails in case she was thrown under the bus by Hillary at some point in the future.

You guys need to understand it wasn't Comey or Lynch's decision to bury the indictment, it was Hussein Obama's.

In Watergate, we learned the President is the only one who has the power to ignore the law. In Emailgate, it's the same rationale as Nixon's Watergate. Nixon didn't want an investigation exposing the Watergate break in, in this case, Hussein Obama did not want a little thing like emailgate to bury Hillary's chances at the White House.

Hussein made two phone calls. He told Comey and Lynch to bury the indictment. BUT it's apparent to even the most brain dead Demorat, Hillary has so much evidence against her that even Marsha Clark could convict her.

Comey and Lynch are now worried about obstruction of justice charges being filed against their part in emailgate. Continue to cover for Hussein Obama or try to stay out of jail? The answer is easy, Trump is going to lead the charge to fill the jails with emailgate participants.

Yes, this is absolutely possible...maybe probable. That is the only way to protect yourself against ruthless psychotics like the Clintons...the Bitch in particular. You have to play the same game with them.

The United States Government is run about the same as a Mafia crime family evidently.

Americans who voted for O’ Ha Ha twice and who plan to vote for Hillary are a disgrace.

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."

"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country . ..."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/07/politics/who-is-james-comey-fbi-director-things-to-know/index.html
__________________________________

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

I think Lynch stays with the cartel and goes down with it. “Never give up the con.”

I think Comey jumped back toward the FBI mutineers pounding on his door.

This weekend is decision time.

Expect a blockbuster in 24-48 hours which will be somebody going John Dean and spilling his/her guts.

Hillary quits the race for health reasons next week.

REFERENCE--Donald Trump Repeatedly Warned Anthony Weiner Was a National Security Risk
breitbart.com ^ | 29 Oct 2016 / FR Posted by Helicondelta

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized rival Hillary Clinton for her “bad judgment” and warned about the consequences of her top aide’s husband’s online philandering. On Friday the FBI chose to continue its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized, unsecured email server stored in a bathroom closet and used to conduct official state business.

Furthermore, the New York Times reported that the FBI had seized devices from top Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s estranged husband, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, while they investigated his sexting of an underage girl. One official said the new emails related to Clinton’s case numbered “in the tens of thousands.”

Weiner’s penchant for sexting underage girls and sending them sexually explicit photos of himself now endangers Clinton’s presidential run. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Huma wouldn't have to e-mail them anything. The e-mails in question were apparently sent from a U.S. State Department e-mail account to her Yahoo e-mail address.

All she would need to do is give them the password to her Yahoo e-mail address, and they could access those messages anywhere around the world.

This is how Podesta's e-mails have been exposed for public view. His e-mail account wasn't "hacked" by anyone. The messages were simply opened and printed or copied by someone who had his password.

The government under these criminals and thugs is not too unlike KGB Putin's government, where opponents often end up 'missing' or worse.

His twisted logic notwithstanding, Comey moved now so he wont look like a total *** later.

Voters have been getting news of wiki leaks drops for weeks and the media had to be dragged kicking and screaming to start posting stories.

Notice that wikileaks have been dropped according to their severity. First the weakest appeared....nothing to write home about.

Now they're getting more damaging.

Comey noticed.

Pondering...I think someone did some hacking (or via the girl Tony was emailing) and it lead to this computer (not his blackberry) which....and only guessing....turned up some words/names that wouldn’t/shouldn’t be on Tony the *rick’s computer.
