James Comey’s Testimony on Huma Abedin Forwarding Emails Was Inaccurate
Propublica.org ^ | May 8, 2017, 10:38 p.m. | by Peter Elkind, special to ProPublica,

Huma Abedin — Weiner’s wife and a top Clinton deputy — had made “a regular practice” of forwarding “hundreds and thousands” of Clinton messages to her husband, “some of which contain classified information.” Comey testified that Abedin had done this so that the disgraced former congressman could print them out for her boss. (Weiner’s laptop was seized after he came under criminal investigation for sex crimes, following a media report about his online relationship with a teenager.)
 
The problem: Much of what Comey said about this was inaccurate. Now the FBI is trying to figure out what to do about it.
 
FBI officials have privately acknowledged that Comey misstated what Abedin did and what the FBI investigators found. On Monday, the FBI was said to be preparing to correct the record by sending a letter to Congress later this week. But that plan now appears on hold, with the bureau undecided about what to do.

Trump needs to move on this quickly. So does Sessions.

Quickly? I have been promised the post card tax for for 40 years.

There will be no simplification of taxes, or anything else, as long as congressman can sell deductions.

I’ll help you out. Clinton, Abedeen, any 17 or so Clinton minions were running a classified information theft ring for various nefarious purposes. It went like this, classified material or emails were downloaded to someone’s Blackberry, One of the nineteen or so in Clintons network. Instead of emailing out the information (which leaves a metadata trail) these Blackberries are “synced”, meaning all the have to do is be in proximity to one and other and the data transfers automatically leaving no metadata trail.

On top of all this the Awan brothers were in charge of the U.S. House of Representatives server containing top secret committee information. These Awan brothers also worked for as many as 20 Dem Reps, they also controlled the Blackberry system Clinton used and possibly Obama’s Blackberry. It is thought that the Awan’s were spying on Obama for Clinton through his Blackberry.

If true this is the biggest conspiracy and spy story in human history all perpetrated by a woman who came within a hairs breadth of the most powerful position in the world. Many here wonder why Clinton has not been subpoenaed before a Grand Jury or why Trump hasn’t done anything. This conspiracy is huge and there are lots of moving parts and many high powered players involved. The other issue is Andrew McCabe the second in command at FBI is running interference. All this B.S. about Comey is just a distraction while McCabe runs defense in Comey’s slip stream. Never take anything that the globalists in D.C. do at face value, always look past the shiny object they are holding to the real issue. The real issue is McCabe (a McCaulliff crony), McCabe is the key to unraveling this whole deal.

Damn you Cankles. I cannot believe this country is wasting cycles on this well after you lost the election because you are a lying, conniving fraud who should be rotting in jail.

The backups are done to your computer. The utility works just like iphones and iTunes.

I suspect the Government had secure Blackberries with their own secure backup system. Mail takes up very little space by the way.

You’d think they would STFU but no they double down.

They all learned that trick from Slick Willie. If you double-down and go on offense, you CAN survive.

Can we please have a hero for America to stand up for justice? This whole circle jerk is nauseating. WTH, are people afraid of? Don’t bother to raise your right hand to protect and defend the Constitution if you are unwilling to do so. Past administrations put treasonous, felonious scum in prison for much less. The rule of law needs to prevail.

As Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged said it best :

The rule of law has been replaced by the The “Aristocracy of Pull”

Trump needs to get Jeff Sessions busy. Or better yet - appoint a Special Prosecutor.

Because of the confusion, I think we need an independent prosecutor to look into the matter

Special Prosecutors tend to be loose cannons. Also, when democrats and media both want a Special Prosecutors, caution is warranted.

We have an honest Attorney General who is capable of handling the situation. We have to understand that real life criminal investigations take time and are not played out in public. In a case such as this, two years is not an unreasonable time from commission of the crime to completion of a trial. There is a lot of posturing with hearing and strategic leaks to the media but the real professionals are working, not talking. We just need to be patient and let them do their work.

Yes the government does have encrypted BBs, but I have never seen or heard of using backups for phones. The emails would be saved on the email server, so what on earth would they need to backup their phone’s data for. Furthermore, classified emails cannot be transmitted or stored on mobile devices such as a BB. It is stated in part of the training courses they take when you get a clearance. Anyone doing so is violated several federal statutes on handling classified material.

Yep, and didn’t Comey have some connection to some bank the Clinton crime family was involved in? That he was on the board of directors? I hope Trump doesn’t back down from this, he said he was going to drain the swamp and I hope he doesn’t bitch out. Go after them ALL! The people DEMAND IT!

I’m a die hard Trump supporter but I’m really troubled by why, for what reason(s) does Trump not fire Comey?<<<

I'm hoping its 3D chess and he's keeping him in place to allow Comey and his comrades to dig bigger and bigger holes for themselves as they have to keep lying and changing their stories to avoid jail....By keeping him on...Comey has to, in effect, build the case for his own hanging.....I'm sure he loved to be fired....He's in a VERY uncomfortable situation where he can be questioned daily if needed.....I'm surprised he hasnt resigned yet!!!..its only a question of time before he does....

It is against the Foreign Affairs Manual 5 Chapter to forward any documents or emails from State Department System to a private Email address; even if you are going back to Schultz Center (Foreign Affairs Training), and wrote something for a class where you are to introduce yourself and say something about your current post. Everything at State is classified Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) and therefore not unclassified as other agencies, hence it cannot leave States Electronic Systems or even be printed out and taken from post.

What they have allowed Hillary to get away with is akin to murder. I personally helped provide the evidence for two foreign service officers reprimands before I retried from State (After the Army).

“So then those in political office are indeed a protected class from prosecution unless they themselves determine a select fall person to take the rap...and all those in these hearings etc. are simply a waste of money and time?”

Yes.

Maybe Comey’s around cause he has dirt on Rs in the senate and Trump is keeping him to save their butts.

And YES, I know he is in a ten year term BUT he can easily be fired by the president.
