EXCLUSIVE: Why Director Comey jumped at the chance to reopen Hillary investigation

James Comey's decision to revive the investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server and her handling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director.

'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.

I would expect a campaign by the Dems and their Media friends to now embark on a serious "Nuke the FBI" effort.

Wouldn't you expect this? Are you a troll, by the way?

[Jaded]

Love this.

I believe Comey is still a dirty cop and only acknowledged the existence of the new evidence under duress.

Latest word is that the FBI sat on these files for quite a while before releasing the information that they had them.

Supposedly the fact that the NYPD had the files forced Comey’s hand.

[Don Corleone]

Either Hillary goes or the whole agency blows. Its not that hard to figure.

[Bulldaddy]

Coney is a dirty cop. I don’t know - none of us may ever know - what he’s truly up to here, but whether it makes a positive difference in the election or not: Comey is a dirty cop.

Are the Viking Rabbits related or allied to the Viking Kitties? ... Or has that killer run away from the Monty Python set?

[MHGinTN]

Yes

[Steve Van Doorn]

Oh my gosh. You’re right FBI is part of the DoJ. Which makes them worthless against internal criminal problems

[Vendome]

I had always understood them to be allies...

If Comey wants to redeem himself, he can do so by doing what he should have done in July — indict Hillary and end this nation’s nightmare.

I don’t know how much of this is true or not true, but the political pressure on him had to be a big part of their decision. It is very clear to anyone familiar with investigations that this investigation ended when it was quashed for politics. Period. I found Comey’s press conference to be the most curious presser I have ever heard about a criminal matter. He laid out the case more than enough to establish probable cause that the law was violated and then, outside of his authority, he said he would not recommend because there was no intent.

Comey got used and he will forever (like so many around the Clinton’s) pay for the cover-up. Sadly, the damage he did to the FBI will last far beyond his lifetime. It is not fair to blame the agents for this. I would bet anything that Comey regrets the way he shut the investigation down now and the very people outraged and angry at him now are the ones who forced him to shut it down and surrender his integrity.

Investigations lead to material facts - i.e. - Huma Abedin said she had turned over all emails in her possession. Finding a large trove of emails (that likely contain classified information - don’t forget that they deleted what they wanted to hide) in the Weiner residence would be a material fact. Hillary Clinton testified before congress (a fact) that all relevant emails were returned to the State Department. The statement of Abedin alone means the existence of this would probably be a crime. The recovery of emails previously thought to be deleted that concern the people’s business would constitute a material fact showing perjury before congress and lying to the public. I also wonder how the supposed “pay to play” investigation is proceeding and you have to ask if that investigation factored into Comey’s decision. Perhaps he now comprehends the endless mess the Clinton’s will bring to the White House (and his agency) and that other crimes are in play.

Most have forgotten the Clinton camp cheered such an FBI announcement when Billy Jeff got elected. That was the accusation of Bush I being involved in Iran-Contra shortly before the election and many believed it may have costs Bush I the election (along with Perot). The rats were desperate after 11 years out of power - people have forgotten that. Bush was later cleared of any wrong doing or involvement, but the damage was done. The Clinton’s have never said a bad word about the false accusation that many believed was a political dirty trick because they know it helped put them in the White House.

I hope they get every email there ever was. I think congress will have no choice other than to find a special prosecutor now because FBI and the top echelons of the DOJ have shown they cannot be trusted with it. The investigators wanted a grand jury - the politicians refused one. The best thing to do would be to assign the investigators from the FBI to the special counsel and let it go proceed with a grand jury.

It would be a great line for Trump to make in one of rally’s to tell those disaffected agents who have handed in their resignations to reapply as soon as he takes office.

[Wallace T.]

The NYPD and the FBI have been rivals since the days of J. Edgar Hoover. Until recently, the NYPD had performed domestic surveillance work for the CIA, another FBI rival, even in states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, outside their jurisdiction. Keep in mind Rudy Giuliani, a close adviser to Trump, was a former New York policeman, as well as that city's mayor for a decade. As mayor, he was very much pro-police, untying their hands after decades of liberal administrations. Also, the NYPD is still dominated by Irish and Italian Americans. Of course, Trump is neither, nor for that matter a Catholic. He is a white Protestant, but from first and second generation parents, and certainly not a blue blood of colonial stock. Non-Jewish, non-Yankee whites in the Northeast are a distinct group, one that has lost much political power over the last few decades. Many officers of the NYPD thus would regard Trump as one of their own. Hillary Clinton is a Illinois/Ivy League/Arkansas carpetbagger who is known to be contemptuous of LEOs, as evidenced by her mistreatment of Arkansas state troopers and the Secret Service.

The NYPD had plenty of reasons to pursue Hillary Clinton through its probe into Huma Abedin's degenerate husband. They forced Comey's hand in all probability.

LMAO. Now that’s great stuff!
