James Comey discussed sensitive FBI business on his private email [hundreds of times]
NY Post ^

Posted on 11/09/2018 6:38:20 PM PST by springwater13

Fired FBI chief James Comey used his private Gmail account hundreds of times to conduct government business — and at least seven of those messages were deemed so sensitive by the Justice Department that they declined to release them.

The former top G-man repeatedly claimed he only used his private account for “incidental” purposes and never for anything that was classified — and that appears to be true.

But Justice acknowledged in response to a Freedom of Information request that Comey and his chief of staff discussed government business on about 1,200 pages of messages, 156 of which were obtained by The Post.

The Cause of Action Institute, a conservative watchdog group, filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit for Comey’s Gmail correspondence involving his work for the bureau.

The Justice Department responded that there were an eye-popping 1,200 pages of messages for Comey and his chief of staff that met the criteria.

Justice released 156 of them but refused to hand over seven emails because they would “disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions.” And another 363 pages of emails were withheld because they discussed privileged agency communications or out of personal privacy concerns.

None of the Kenyanesian Usurpers minions will ever be prosecuted.

The Kenyan from Indonesia cannot be exposed without exposing most of the people in the District of Corruption for their complicity.

Trump is still in charge. I expect that what has been happening for almost two years will keep happening:

1) Mueller’s witch hunt will be left to run its course, with no White House interference.
2) Prosecution of SpyGate coconspirators will continue to be a low priority.

The result: Trump’s focus on MAGA will continue to push his favorability numbers up through 2020 at which time he will be easily reelected for a second term.

Jeff Sessions who is now gone. Hopefully Trump won’t be conned again into appointing another swamp dweller.

He’s always thought he was above the law - - or worse that he WAS the law.

What a jerk... jail the loser.

Dan Bongino said this early on going on a year ago, that one of the reasons Comey didn’t want to indite Hillary Clinton is because he was doing the same thing.

Bunch of lazy dummies. They can’t be bothered with security...that’s for the little people. They are far too important....

Of course he’ll be going to jail, just like General Petraeus and Sandy Berger.
