MRC NewsBusters ^ | 06/08/2017 | Scott Whitlock

The Washington Post and journalists at ABC hear what they want to hear. The Post in a headline on Thursday declared that James Comey “laid out the case that President Trump obstructed justice.” Except he didn't say that. After the hearings, ABC suggested that Comey intended “to lay out the facts and hope there is a prosecution for obstruction of justice.”

There was no intent, so no reasonable prosecutor would recommend charges.

Am I doing this right?

You can be sure anything published in the WaPo is directly 180 degrees incorrect. Whatever you see in the WaPo, start by believing exactly the opposite of the stated premise. It has negative credibility. The WaPo is the plaything of Jeff Bezos, equivalent to a vandal painting graffiti on the side of a railroad car with a free box of spray paint supplied for his use. Or if you let it, your garage door. It is purely a propaganda instrument. In no way whatsoever does it bear any resemblance to what one might call a “newspaper”. It is purely a source of propaganda editorial content. You want to pay for that, go for it.

One fact is certain: Comey today confirmed for all the world to see the wisdom of Trump's decision to end his employment.

Such a pathetically weak person has no business holding the office of Director of the FBI. Pity his dismissal had not occurred on the first day of the new Administration.

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."

"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country . ..."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/07/politics/who-is-james-comey-fbi-director-things-to-know/index.html
__________________________________

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

Comey has been covering to the Clintons for a long time.

“His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton...”

Amen. One thing we are getting out of these hearings is a clear insight into the self centered world The Donald has volunteered to save us from....

Agree wholeheartedly on Comey.... A contradiction from the time he starts to the time he ends speaking..

They keep yelling fire in the hopes people will believe there is one.

It’ an old communist trick being used by the Democrat Marxist news media!

Comey “laid out” a story he hopes will keep him out of jail and out of the Clintons’ gunsights. it is a delicate calculation for a weakling. He did what he could to protect Mrs Bill but he is not up to taking a bullet for her, or from her.

According to Alan Dershowitz a president can order an investigation of any individual to be dropped for any reason. He says that there might be political ramifications, but that the president’s authority here is pretty clear.

If that is true, then obstruction of justice is an issue only for those people who mis-understand (deliberately or otherwise) presidential authority.

WaPo isn’t interested in impartial legalities. Bezos’ blog embraces or dismisses rule of law based solely on its usefulness at destroying Western Civilization.
