Former FBI Director James Comey used his personal Gmail account to conduct official bureau business, the Justice Department Inspector General’s report concludes. According to the report:
On November 8, 2016, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account a proposed post-election message for all FBI employees that was entitled “Midyear thoughts.” This document summarized Comey’s reasoning for notifying Congress about the reactivation of the Midyear investigation. In late December 2016, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account multiple drafts of a proposed year-end message to FBI employees. On December 30, 2016, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account proposed responses to two requests for information from the Office of Special Counsel.
On January 6, 2017, Comey forwarded to his personal email account from his unclassified FBI account an email from Rybicki to Kortan highlighting language that needed to be corrected in a Wall Street Journal article. In mid-March 2017, Comey sent from his personal email account to his own and Rybicki’s unclassified FBI accounts multiple drafts of Comey’s proposed opening statement for his March 20, 2017 testimony to the House Intelligence Committee.
In an interview with Justice Department investigators, Comey confirmed he used both a personal email account and device, explaining he only used them when handling unclassified information.
“I did not have an unclass[ified] FBI connection at home that worked,” Comey told watchdog investigators. “And I didn’t bother to fix it, whole ‘nother story, but I would either use my BlackBerry, must have been or Samsung…my phone, I had two phones—a personal phone and a government phone. And so I would use, for unclassified work, I would use my personal laptop for word processing and then send it into the FBI.”

That’s the problem. Their “Institutional Values” are un-American.

The FBI is having a press conference right now and whomever is speaking is lying through his corrupt teeth! He's making excuses and word games. IT'S DISGUSTING!
Is that anything like using your own domain name and server to conduct state department classified business?
Will our government ever move from 24x7 Kabuki theater to actually upholding the Constitution as representatives and judges have pledged to do?
The corruption and rot was already there. The 0bama regime simply harnessed it as a weapon against political opponents and the American people.
Wray is speaking...mistakes were made, blah blah blah. Nothing political blah blah blah.
“Nothing in this report impugns the integrity of the FBI as a whole”
There you have it...
And sadly, there isn't really anything all THAT "new", re all of the corruption in all of government, about this...except, perhaps, going after a person who is running in a presidential primary and then ramping it up as days and years went by and he became president.
The Halfrican (aided by Valerie) had all the liberal causes covered .
What an utter craven POS, lying, born on the wrong side of the sheets, poltroon he is.

He didn’t INTEND to commit crime, therefore his criminal action was not a crime.

Classic. Whoda thunk Fey Wray was not a total Swamp Creature / FIB Weasel?
The central committee agrees comrade’s in arm for ever.
Arrest Google for tempting a civil servant.
