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.... It’s built in our DNA not to prejudge investigations, particularly from the top.”

But But But Hitlery says he was a meanie engaging in a witchhunt...
Agree, except that I don't think weasels should be insulted by comparing them to Comey or Mueller.
And Newsweek is reporting this?? Hold on a minute while I go outside and see if I see any pigs flying..
Ok Im back..and again..why isn’t Comey in JAIL..he belongs there along with Hillary Clinton
Gowdy said he laid eyes himself on the document that the case had been pre-quashed. I figured the email from DWS to that Soros agent.
I clicked the link and received two warnings from Kaspersky.
Lewis Carroll couldn’t have written a better story.......................
I’m surprised Comey hasn’t been fished out of the Potomac yet after her losing the election.
Bump.....
Looks like curtains for McCabe - finally - between this collusion and his ‘managing’ LV. And firings happen on Friday.
Where’s Sessions?
Comey - at the end of the day, is a plain old liar. He was on Hillary’s payroll and still had to doublecross her.
So what does Mueller do with his star witness?
Comey is compromised. Another reason to fire him rises to the surface.
Comey knew he wasn’t going to recommend indictment before he started.
I’d wager Sessions, Bannon, and Trump sure still working on this...to blow the lid off...many in FBICIASWAMP will be out on butts soon...forced to quit or be charged.
What about all the people who got immunity. If their testimony wasn’t going to matter, was it to prevent them from being investigated / prosecuted themselves?
The pattern is they go into the blocks on Monday for the week of tomatoes prior to Fri firing.
“”I’ll have to admit, I couldn’t have been more wrong about Sessions.””
You are not alone. I’ve felt the same way about Sessions for years - a respectable and honorable guy. All we can hope for now is there are behind the scenes efforts to bring everything into the open and make the players pay!
“”The pattern is they go into the blocks on Monday for the week of tomatoes prior to Fri firing.””
HUH? Must be some pretty good stuff to drink where you come from.
We need a ruthless guy in there. Go by the book, but toss it at these Leftist criminals.
I appreciate the note of agreement.
