Here’s Why MSM So Upset Comey is Gone:Comey-Clinton Ties Go Way Back–He First Pardoned Bill in 2002

Well-well-well…

Comey first came in contact with the Clintons in the 1990s when he was investigating WhiteWater scandal. He then went on to investigate the Clinton’s during President Bush’s tenure.

TIME reported:

Looking to get back into government after a stint in private practice, Comey signed on as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her husband had tried to hide their roles in two other matters under investigation by law enforcement. Taken together, the interference by White House officials, which included destruction of documents, amounted to “far more than just aggressive lawyering or political naiveté,” Comey and his fellow investigators concluded. It constituted “a highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.”

Comey parlayed the Whitewater job into top posts in Virginia and New York, returning to Manhattan in 2002 to be the top federal prosecutor there. One of his first cases as a line attorney in the same office 15 years earlier had been the successful prosecution of Marc Rich, a wealthy international financier, for tax evasion. But on his last day as President in 2001, Bill Clinton pardoned Rich. “I was stunned,” Comey later told Congress. As top U.S. prosecutor in New York in 2002, appointed by George W. Bush, Comey inherited the criminal probe into the Rich pardon and 175 others Clinton had made at the 11th hour.

In 2002 US Attorney General James Comey first investigated and exonerated Bill Clinton for his clemency of four men who donated to Hillary Clinton’s senate campaign.

The pardon of billionaire Marc Rich by President Bill Clinton was something that everyone knew reeked of impropriety.

Founded the commodities company Glencore and was indicted for illegally making oil deals with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis.

He was in Switzerland at the time of the indictment and never returned to the United States. He received a controversial presidential pardon from U.S. President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, Clinton’s last day in office.

James Comey oversaw an investigation of the pardon matters.

Unbelievably James Comey did not recommend charging Clinton in any of these matters.

Rich’s wife donated $450,000 to the Clinton Library and donated $200,000 to Hillary’s Senate campaign in 2000.

————————————————————

U.S. Attorney James Comey – opted to prosecute Martha Stewart in 2003.

He said at that time, “I thought of my hesitation about the case due to someone being rich and famous, and how it shouldn’t be that way. I decided we had to do it.”

Martha Stewart spent 5 months in prison…after being jailed for lying to investigators.

————————————————————

Wrote a letter in support of Eric Holder as Attorney General.

—————————————

As deputy attorney general in 2004, Comey was involved in the investigation of Sandy Berger.

Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of intentionally removing (classified) documents from the National Archives and destroying some of them. He was fined $50,000, sentenced to 100 hours of community service and two years probation. Also, his national security license was stripped for two years.

—————————————

Comey appointed Patrick J. Fitzgerald, a U.S. attorney in Chicago, to act as special counsel in conducting the inquiry into what became known as “Plamegate.”

At the time Comey made the appointment, Fitzgerald was already godfather to one of Comey’s children.

In 2005, Fitzgerald prosecuted Libby, a prominent adviser to then Vice President Dick Cheney, in the Plame investigation.

IF this story has legs, the Media will be caught with their pants down, IMO.

Shut down the daily press briefings.

This morning, ABC went into great detail about exactly what President Trump ATE at a dinner. “ He put salt on ____ ...

He had 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, while all the others ONLY GOT ONE!!!

He drinks Diet coke INSTEAD OF WATER !!!”

THE HoRROR of it all!!! Are the 24 hour news stations so full of themselves that they cannot tell us anything else except what the President ate for dinner?

Trump is 77 years old. As far as I tell, he is in excellent health.

We never knew what kind of health issues Obama might have had because HE NEVER released HIS health records.

My money is on Trump.

Let the man alone to do his job.

I wonder how long it might be before Trump turns the tables & tweets about the eating & DRINKING habits of the media members???

Ping!

Wow digging into Comey's past shows he's in bed with the Clintons like no tomorrow. Thanks for posting this news. Not sure what we'd do without Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, and Free Canada real news.

The conclusion to Comey's Whitewater investigation sounds familiar:

Tough guy talk -- and yet another -- "but we should not prosecute"!

Comey is one of the chief people enabling the Clintons to operate their frauds and underworld activities!

——Marc Rich, a wealthy international financier, -—

The man cornered the Russian aluminum market and in essence became owner of the vast defunct Soviet government aluminum reserves stock pile.

Why the Clintons are still alive I will never understand
