Comey: Hillary’s FBI Testimony Wasn’t Under Oath Or Recorded, But It Would Still Be a Crime To Lie

During testimony before Congress on Thursday, FBI Director James Comey stated that the FBI’s interview with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was not under oath or recorded, but it still would be a crime to lie to the FBI.

Comey stated that he did not personally interview Clinton, and did not talk to all of the “five or six” who did interview Clinton.

He was then asked, “did she testify or talk to them under oath?” Comey answered, “No.” But added that “it’s still a crime to lie to us.”

When asked if there was a transcript of the interview, Comey stated that there wasn’t one because the interview wasn’t recorded, but there was an analysis of Clinton’s interview.

You’re right. This is a joke. She’s not under oath, there’s no record of what anybody said. Why did they even bother?

This whole thing was engineered from the beginning to be worthless.

[kdmhcdcfld]

What the F*** is wrong with these people?

[odawg]

Well, most people were saying the “fix was in” when Bill Clinton met up with Lynch.

The fondling party with Clinton on Saturday was the icing on the cake.

The FBI operatives wanted deniability even if they had to make fools of themselves to achieve it.

[mountn man]

If she wasn’t Mirandized, she can say whatever she wants.

[longtermmemmory]

Martha stewart lied to FBI agents and went to jail.

Hillary, just by watching videos of her statements, clearly lies and has lied and walks away scott free.

Selective enforcement of the law stinks to the sky.

[Mouton]

I said it before, it was a perfunctory interview. Can you say whitewash.

No transcript, no recording, no oath. This was done after “careful” crafting on how it would be done between her battery of attorneys, all paid for by the foundation I am sure, and the equal of public defender attorneys representing the government. Gee, even Martha Stewart was treated worse.

All this contrived interview knowing they were dealing with congenital liars. This is beyond the pale.

[Sacajaweau]

Another telling tale.

[Paladin2]

Probably a white wine tasting party.

[Sacajaweau]

And Nixon had how many minutes missing?

[TigersEye]

Comey answered, “No.” But added that “it’s still a crime for the little people to lie to us.”

[ArtDodger]

It boils down to this.. One more 4-year cycle is needed to destroy any last remnant of a chance for Americans to defend their way of life. Clinton’s ‘Day One’ job, she said, is the repeal of the 2nd amendment. This needs to be done first, then a period of calm while arms are quietly collected. Does anyone here think ANY of the pubs in office now will do more than squeak about it when this happens? In several years we will be weakened enough for the big push. Most of the kids coming out of school are ready now. It is the old folks who remember what a free country is like. We all hate it, but not sure it is stoppable...

[fhayek]

A sleazy presdential candidate. Clandestine meetings on the tarmac. No record of her interegation by the FBI. A sweating FBI director laying out the case, but then making the exact contrary conclusion. Lies to Congress. Tom Clancy couldn’t have written this

[al baby]

Is he the one that likes little boys

[Hojczyk]

There are none I guess

I Trump looses the country is done

Might be done anyway

They can pretty much just stonewall Trump

Unless he can get legislation to fire people

There there for life

[JudyinCanada]

Just wow.

Not that any oath would make a difference to Hitlery, but why would they not put her under oath? Why would they not record what she said?

The stink on this is even higher than we thought. Unreal.

[Enterprise]

Honestly, I find that hard to believe. In the field, I can see where an interview won't be recorded. But in an office situation, with all the funding and technology that they have access to, I can't believe they would not have something recorded with someone as high profile as Hillary. Recording an interview protects both parties from later false allegations. A recording and transcript lends credibility and transparency to the interview. Anything else here smells of coverup.

FBI Director James Comey declined to recommend criminal charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified material Tuesday. But back in 2004, he led what legal observers call a “petty and vindictive” prosecution against interior design icon Martha Stewart     for a lesser offense.

Stewart served a five-month prison sentence in 2004 at the Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia, also known as “Camp Cupcake,” for lying to federal investigators about possible insider trading. In the years since the case, there is a consensus in the legal community that Comey’s prosecution was overzealous and vindictive.

The Cato Institute’s Gene Healy condemned Comey’s actions as temperamental and political in a 2004 column. Healy argued that Stewart’s indictment was largely possible because the sheer volume of federal laws makes it possible to indict almost any individual on some basis — reasonable or unreasonable. Quoting former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, Healy wrote prosecutors “will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.”

His Cato colleague Alan Reynolds argued Comey prosecuted Stewart for “having misled people by denying having committed a crime with which she was not charged.”

I have decided two things:

Hitlery knows where Obama was born.

Comey loves his family.

[infowarrior]

They have no record of what she said

Wouldn't matter anyway. Are you seriously going to try and infer that the "investigation" and its "results" weren't *already* determined before her "interview"? She was interviewed Saturday, Comey made his "whatever" before noon on Tuesday, with Monday being a Federal holiday.

It would not matter what she said, or didn't say on Saturday, it was already decided before she entered the Hoover Building...

[Vic S]

But later in the testimony Comey said he’d have to read her testimony to answer that question.

Comey isn’t an idiot by any means, so that must be perjury.
