Comey’s FBI Was Protecting The Legitimacy Of The Presumed Clinton Presidency
The Federalist ^ | June 15, 2018 | David Marcus

In late October of 2016 James Comey knew Donald Trump’s candidacy was as dead as a doornail. That must be distinctly understood or nothing wonderful can come from the story I am going to relate. Time soothes the edges of old emotions. We forget the shock of that election night. Almost two years now of articles and TV takes, even books, make Trump’s election seem understandable, even sometimes inevitable.

But that’s not how it was then. When FBI director Comey and the FBI dropped their late October Anthony Weiner surprise, they did so fully confident that Hillary Clinton would win. What we now know for certain from the Department of Justice inspector general report that came out Thursday is that the FBI chose to disclose the Weiner email fiasco to protect a Clinton presidency, a foregone conclusion, from potential claims from Trump that the FBI had rigged the election.

It’s gaslighting at a high institutional level.

Hillary had fbi files when she was Flotus!

Interestingly enough, the other day I heard a talk radio host musing about how the same players were being positioned to both clear Clinton, and smear candidate Trump, and after the election, to fabricate impeachable "offenses." He actually said that it wouldn't be difficult to find out just WHO it was that was "moving the chess pieces." My first thought was, "Nobody ever did figure out who it was that actually hired Craig Livingston," who actually retrieved those illegally procured FBI files. And nobody was ever punished for it.

Do I recall correctly that Hillary was already on the record as having supplied emails to Abedin in order for her to print them out?

Actually, as I recall, it was Hilary's housekeeper who was tasked with printing out classified emails and documents for her cankle-ness.

Huma DID have a security clearance, but storing classified emails on a laptop her husband used while surfing porn and young cuties, not so much.

No doubt Hillary would have sicced the FBI on all of her political enemies as soon as she took the oath.

The government is our enemy.

I saw some liberal dingbat talking head say that, even though the report concluded politics didn’t play a role, it did affect the election by hurting Hillary. Gag me with a maggot.

They believed rallies and votes had nothing to do with it. The fix was in. It could be some of the “fixers” got cold feet when Hillary said “If Trump wins we’re all going to jail.”

No one who does what they’re told become they’ve been blackmailed would be willing to expose themselves. If they don’t care what comes out about them now, they wouldn’t have cared when they were being blackmailed.
