Bombshell declassified docs show how Comey FBI mishandled its investigation into Hillary Clinton's illicit private email server and buried key evidence.
A newly-declassified appendix to a years-old Justice Department watchdog report shows that then-FBI Director James Comey was swayed to preemptively announce the end of the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton based on mysterious classified intelligence reports – and that the FBI failed to investigate thumbdrives containing potentially key information about use of an illicit private email server.
The details are part of a classified appendix to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 2018 report criticizing the politicized conduct of the FBI’s Midyear Exam investigation into Clinton’s mishandling of classified information through the use of a private server while she was secretary of state.
Comey unilaterally announced in a July 2016 speech – about four months before Election Day for the Democratic presidential nomine – the investigation had been concluded with charges being brought against her.
At about the same time, the FBI formally launched its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into claims that the campaign for the GOP presidential nominee, Donald Trump, was colluding with Russia to influence the outcome of the election.

No wonder they fought Tulsi tooth and nail.
The USA experienced a coup d’etat with cover-up.
The info is astounding. We knew it was a fraud. But I had no idea the scale and extent of the deception and that it was all orchestrated by President Obama from the Oval Office.
Pure evil, Satan seeking the ruin of souls.
These people all need to be incarcerated. All of them.
Comey remains a weasel.
What did Mitch McConnell know and when did he know it?
86JC
When do the early morning raids take place?
The politiciabs only know what the bureaucrats let them know.
I simply do not understand why these criminals would have allowed any of their emails or documents to pass through government servers so as to be captured forever. What am I missing here?
My take is that never in their wildest dreams did they think anybody was going to be able to do anything about it.
Scary thing is, they probably figured they could keep everything buried, along with Trump!
Just to refresh everyone’s memory
It was 33000 emails
If I mishandled that many as a USCG radioman I’d STILL be in fort levenworth
“Mysterious intel reports” = “stuff pulled from Obama’s ass”
Baloney. Comey was not swayed. He was at the center of the conspiracy.
.
James Comey’s face should be in every Post Office on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.
And Most Wanted should be spelled out with seashells on a sand background.
Turtle be turtling
How big was Comey’s book deal? How many people outside of the dnc bought that rubbish.
