FBI Director James Comey attempted to go public as early as the summer of 2016 with information on Russias campaign to influence the U.S. presidential election, but Obama administration officials blocked him from doing so, two sources with knowledge of the matter tell Newsweek.
Well before the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence accused the Russian government of tampering with the U.S. election in an October 7 statement, Comey pitched the idea of writing an op-ed about the Russian campaign during a meeting in the White Houses situation room in June or July.
He had a draft of it or an outline. He held up a piece of paper in a meeting and said, I want to go forward, what do people think of this? says a source with knowledge of the meeting, which included Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Department of Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson and the national security adviser Susan Rice.
The other national security officials didnt like the idea, and White House officials thought the announcement should be a coordinated message backed by multiple agencies, the source says. An op-ed doesnt have the same stature, it comes from one person.

Newsmax....I’ll wait a bit to comment.
Tampering? You mean like how Obama was tampering with the elections in Israel?
Psssst!! It was his grocery list.
???
Sounds like the DHS fake memo.
Comey won’t comment on its veracity, and the “source with knowledge of the meeting” is a former Obammite with a new gig at CNN.
A website resulting from a one dollar sale of a failed news magazine named “Newsweek” is now telling us what is true? Nonsense.
I’m getting tired of this BS. The Russkis expose the Clintoon Crime Family’s crimes and it’s the Russkis who are the bad guys. We’ve got too many retards living in this country.
Comey loves to play good cop, bad cop. Time to investigate HIM!
The Russians are guilty of the truth.

A blast from the past.
The commies @ Newstweek are strong with the propaganda.
Bull...fake news made up or lying source.
Is this new news?
I would go with "functional idiot."
Bullshit!!!!!!!!!
Why would 0vomit NOT want it investigated and revealed if the Russians were helping Trump? It only makes sense to squash the investigation if the Russians are helping the democrats.
Therefore, my conclusion is that either the Russians were not helping anyone and there never was anything to investigate or else they were helping Hitlery and 0vomit wanted to allow it.
NewsWEEK.
This is BS.
I remember my mom railing against the “boob tube” and Madison ave. in the ‘70’s, she was right.
