Full title: CONFIRMED: Comey Decided He Wasn't Going to Refer Hillary For Prosecution Long Before FBI Investigation Was Over
According to new transcripts released by the Senate Judiciary Thursday afternoon, former FBI Director James Comey made the decision not to refer then Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for prosecution long before ever interviewing key witnesses. Members of the Committee allege Comey made the decision months before FBI agents were finished with the criminal investigation of her mishandling classified information during her time as Secretary of State.
The transcripts were revealed in a letter sent to current FBI Director Christopher Wray, in which lawmakers are demanding an explanation and more documents surrounding the case.
"According to the unredacted portions of the transcripts, it appears that in April or early May of 2016, Mr. Comey had already decided he would issue a statement exonerating Secretary Clinton. That was long before FBI agents finished their work. Mr. Comey even circulated an early draft statement to select members of senior FBI leadership. The outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while FBI agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts," the letter, signed by Chairman Chuck Grassley and Committee member Lindsey Graham states. "Conclusion first, fact-gathering second—that’s no way to run an investigation. The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy."
"It is unclear whether the FBI agents actually investigating the case were aware that Mr. Comey had already decided on the investigation’s outcome while their work was ongoing. However, it appears that the answer to that question may be underneath some of the extensive redactions that the Department made to the transcripts," the letter continues.
According to the letter and an ongoing investigation into the matter, Comey started drafting a statement exonerating Clinton in April or May of 2016. At this point, he had not interviewed Clinton herself or her closest aides. This included Bryan Pagliano, who set up the personal server where Clinton hosted and shared top secret information, and Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, who was granted immunity. On July 5, 2016, Comey made his public statement that the FBI would not be referring Clinton to the Department of Justice for prosecution.

Remember that 644 FBI files were stolen by Shrillary & her henchman.
"I could get upset over this, I could scream and swear, but really is this any surprise? NO...Our government has been corrupted for years and years and the more corrupt it gets, the more money is paid to the ones that are corrupting it...
Are we ever going to get it back to being ‘for the people, by the people and of the people’ I don’t think so, it took years to get here and it will take longer for us to get it back, I really don’t think we have that much time...
I will say this: “Because WE the People have elected a solid born American to lead our Country that if anything were to happen to him while he is in office, American will end right there and then”...
Father God, protect the man You have chosen to lead the Great Nation known as America, because with America, Israel will succeed and so will America...have faith in those that believe in You, live your words and pray everyday to You. Amen."
Perfect time to eviscerate the FBI and DOJ leadership of all left over or recently converted Obama political appointees.
Strike while the irons hot President Trump!
Not only is Comey a criminal, it appears as though the “investigation” was nothing but a ruse used to cover up crimes and grant immunity to the accomplices. Obstruction of justice doesn’t even begin to describe what occurred.
I maintain that we can force the issue if the right players got in to the game. Now this might sound like a radical idea at first, but I guarantee it will yield Results.
It would only take a few loud mouths on talk radio to make this happen, if Rush and Hannity began hammering the idea of JURY NULLIFICATION NATION WIDE for ALL Federal Trials until these people are in PRISON, not another person will be convicted in ANY FEDERAL COURT across this Country.
Radical YES, but I guarantee it will yield positive results, for they have No Way in Hell to Fight the Citizens in the Jury pools.
Sadly I agree. Nothing will come of this and no MSM will give it the time of day :-(
Sounds like something Wray/Sessions would do.
Comey was afraid of the swamp like Wray/Session are afraid of the swamp.
The Democrats pick their operatives very well.
They must have a lot of stuff on them because they toe the line; repeatedly.
Yep. Years ago. Craig Livingstone.
No statute of limitations, on murder or taxes... let alone treason.
They didn't decide she was innocent they knew she was guilty as hell, they were just drafting the coverup.p I suspect by the time Mueller is through, all the evidence will be scrubbed enough that there will be no trials for any of the elite. Maybe no one will ever be held accountable.
Immunity deals require the complete cooperation and honesty of the party receiving it for the entirety of the investigation. That’s the whole point of an immunity deal.
You don’t get an immunity deal for obstructing justice so that you can obstruct justice.
