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.

Any crimes on the left are ignored. Any virtuous acts on the right are treated as crimes. No other way to explain it.

"..and at least seven of those messages were deemed so sensitive by the Justice Department that they declined to release them."

"SENSITIVE"???? Oh that's old "national security" excuse AGAIN? Like the scores of pages containing information REDACTED BY THE DOJ AND FBI that have absolutely NOTHING to do with national security?

Comey-the-Clown was probably discussing the COUP AGAINST TRUMP with his Coup-Conspirators.

They tried once.
He screamed “There isn’t a jail strong enough to hold me inside. Come and get me, coppers. I’m on top of the world, ma.”
So they gave up. Worked for Hillary, too.

Honestly, the two sided justice system where Dems always skate is really getting on our nerves. And Hillary types don’t lie low after destroying Rose Law firm records under subpoena or carrying secure emails to her house and letting Huma and Carlos Danger Weiner have them on casual unsecure laptops. Crimes. No punishment.

And she gloats and pontificates to us and accuses Trump of misogyny, mental illness, collusion with Russia.

Too unjust.

How do they know it’s true if they couldn’t release them all? If they are too sensitive to release, why aren’t they classified?

More MSM spinning yarns?

Has the disappointment Sessions left the building? Maybe thereafter Comey will face justice.
