10 Major FBI Scandals on Comey's Watch
Grabien News ^ | May 9, 2017 | Staff

Posted on 05/09/2017 4:25:17 PM PDT by yoe

The FBI interviewed almost every terrorist who successfully struck America.

[snip]Here are 10 of Comey's biggest embarrassments at the FBI:

1. Before he bombed the Boston Marathon, the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go. Russia sent the Obama Administration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigating him again.

2. Shortly after the NSA scandal exploded in 2013, the FBI was exposed conducting its own data mining on innocent Americans; the agency, Bloomberg reported, retains that material for decades (even if no wrongdoing is found).

3. The FBI had possession of emails sent by Nidal Hasan saying he wanted to kill his fellow soldiers to protect the Taliban -- but didn't intervene, leading many critics to argue the tragedy that resulted in the death of 31 Americans at Fort Hood could have been prevented.

4. During the Obama Administration, the FBI claimed that two private jets were being used primarily for counterterrorism, when in fact they were mostly being used for Eric Holder and Robert Mueller's business and personal travel.

5. When the FBI demanded Apple create a "backdoor" that would allow law enforcement agencies to unlock the cell phones of various suspects, the company refused, sparking a battle between the feds and America's biggest tech company. What makes this incident indicative of Comey's questionable management of the agency is that a) The FBI jumped the gun, as they were indeed ultimately able to crack the San Bernardino terrorist's phone, and b) Almost every other major national security figure sided with Apple (from former CIA Director General Petraeus to former CIA Director James Woolsey to former director of the NSA, General Michael Hayden), warning that such a "crack" would inevitably wind up in the wrong hands.

Heck the San Bernadino terrorist couple and the homofascist in Tampa were ALSO interviewed previous to their attacks.

Repeatedly the domestic terrorists are let go (at least under Obama’s watch) to kill the kufir.

Atlanta Olympics, 1996:

An overweight security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb in a crowded Atlanta park, an act of terror. He alerts the cops, but the bomb goes off and a desperate Bill Clinton facing a reelection bid ORDERS the FBI to simplify things by making Richard Jewell the perp.

Knowing Richard Jewell revers “real cops” the FBI brings him in for questioning, finally pretending to relent and accept his story of innocence. They then flattered him and lowered his guard by chatting him up in grand style like A Law Enforcement Colleague.

The FBI then claimed to Jewell that they were making a Training Videotape simulation in which a perp under questioning breaks down and confresses to a bombing, “Ah shucks, our actor crapped out, got sick, say Richard, would ya help us FBI guys out..?”

A micrometer away from consenting to help them with their “training video”, Jewell suddenly realizes if he cooperated with “his friends”, they might turn around use the tape against him in the world famous bombing that just transpired.

He calls his ex-roomate, a lawyer, who admonishes Jewell that he’s in very grave danger. He leaves the FBI questioning and AVOIDS LIFE IN PRISON BY A WHISKER.

YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.

It started at least 20 years ago.

I thought 13 died at Fort Hood (2009) and that Comey became director the FBI in 2013. More were injured and that 13 may or may not include the baby (one victim was pregnant).

Workplace violence my A$$. Obama and Comey need to be charged with Treason. Selective prosecution is one thing. Withholding information in the deaths of 31 people is inexcusable. Probable excuse will be a variation of Gorelick’s Wall. That was BS then and still is BS. The Media bought the line and covered for Clinton.

Coamey had a conflict of interest. In order to do this right he would need to investigate himself. He was part of the story.

It was 13, not 31. Actually 14 if one counts the baby in the womb of one woman.
