I think Comey’s statement could be read in more than one way.
Comey is trying to clear the FBI of any allegations of wrongdoing. That doesn’t mean that wrong doing didn’t occur elsewhere.
Exactly what I was thinking. I read elsewhere that the NYC FBI office was out of the loop in the Trump Tower wiretap.
Comey himself may have known about it, but let it pass because his NYC office wasn't involved. I wonder if Lynch and the NSA were the culprits. Just a thought. Who really knows.
