CONFIRMED: Comey Was Never Going to Refer Hillary

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Decision was made before the investigation even started. This is what banana republic corruption looks like folks. The rule of law had no meaning under Obama when it came to his allies in the Democrat party. Comey should hang for this dereliction of duty. The only justice in all of this is that Hillary was denied the Presidency by a man that is public enemy #1 amongst her anti-American base.

CONFIRMED: Comey Decided He Wasn't Going to Refer Hillary For Prosecution Long Before FBI Investigation Was Over

According to new transcripts released by the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday afternoon, former FBI Director James Comey made the decision not to refer then Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for prosecution long before ever interviewing key witnesses. Members of the Committee allege Comey made the decision months before FBI agents were finished with the criminal investigation into her mishandling of classified information during her time as Secretary of State.

The transcripts were revealed in a letter sent to current FBI Director Christopher Wray, in which lawmakers are demanding an explanation and more documents surrounding the case.

"According to the unredacted portions of the transcripts, it appears that in April or early May of 2016, Mr. Comey had already decided he would issue a statement exonerating Secretary Clinton. That was long before FBI agents finished their work. Mr. Comey even circulated an early draft statement to select members of senior FBI leadership. The outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while FBI agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts," the letter, signed by Chairman Chuck Grassley and Committee member Lindsey Graham states. "Conclusion first, fact-gathering second—that’s no way to run an investigation. The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy."

"It is unclear whether the FBI agents actually investigating the case were aware that Mr. Comey had already decided on the investigation’s outcome while their work was ongoing. However, it appears that the answer to that question may be underneath some of the extensive redactions that the Department made to the transcripts," the letter continues.

According to the letter and an ongoing investigation into the matter, Comey started drafting a statement exonerating Clinton in April or May of 2016. At this point, he had not interviewed Clinton herself or her closest aides. This included Bryan Pagliano, who set up the personal server where Clinton hosted and shared top secret information, and Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, who was granted immunity. On July 5, 2016, Comey made his public statement that the FBI would not be referring Clinton to the Department of Justice for prosecution.

You can read the letter, which contains excerpts from the transcripts, below.

The question is "was this a result of Lynch dictating the decision to him?" Somehow I suspect yes.

Is this new information? I thought that we already knew he had drafted the exoneration statement in May? Didn't we find that out a couple of months ago?

IIRC, the excuse/claim from liberals was that drafts of both options were (obviously) prepared so that he had whichever one he wanted to use available to him.

I think the "new" news is that thru FOIA the actual memo has now been released. We'd previously heard about it but never actually seen the proof.
