In documents it released on Monday, the FBI confirmed that former FBI Director James Comey drafted a statement about the conclusion of the Hillary Clinton email investigation months before interviewing Clinton.
The records show that on May 2, 2016, Comey emailed Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, general counsel James Baker and chief of staff and senior counselor James Rybicki. The subject of the email was "midyear exam," and though the email says its contents are unclassified, the body of the email is redacted in the release.
The release confirms information that Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senator Lindsey Graham, a member of that committee, disclosed in a letter to new FBI Director Christopher Wray in August.
FBI and Justice Department analysts are divided on whether Comey violated rules or broke with tradition by drafting the statement prior to interviewing Clinton and other witnesses. “To me, this is so far out of bounds it’s not even in the stadium,” Chris Swecker, who retired from the FBI in 2006 as assistant director for the criminal investigative division and acting executive assistant director for law enforcement services, previously told Newsweek. “That is just not how things operate....

Cronyism so deep we’ll never know where it stops.
Why isn’t this guy well on his way to Leavenworth?
Swamp
Jeffie, where are you little Jeffie? The amazing disappearing AG.
Because I think he ratted on more high valued targets.
Yet, Hillary claims Comey “shivved” her. That’s gratitude for ya.
OK,now it's clear.The Phoenix airport meeting...the one that would have gone unnoticed except for a rogue local TV film crew...was just to let BillyBob know that the coast was clear.
It’s what Weasels do.
Weasel Comey was trained by Weasel Mueller.
Comey hasn’t been flailing around trying to get on the news, I guess he realized he broke the law and should slither away quietly.
Rip van Sessions
Stocks or gallows and gibbet
But it’s The Donald who is being investigated.
It means nothing. Hillary, Comey or any Dim will NEVER be prosecuted. Trump and company has miserably failed in this situation
I’ll have to admit, I couldn’t have been more wrong about Sessions.
He’s definitely up to his lower lip in the swamp.
Beautiful!
He should be brought before the bar to explain such unethical conduct for review and sanction. At a minimum.
Hillary just said Comey gave her the shiv.
Why isn’t this guy well on his way to Leavenworth?
