I just read about this earlier! :mad:

How in the world could he have already drafted an exoneration statement before even having interviewed Hillary or finishing the investigation?

Comey is a disgrace and a sham just like his investigation!
 
It’s not surprising except to the extent Comey circulated it before the investigation was over.

It’s a sad commentary. Comey apparently felt himself insecure in being retained by Clinton if she was elected, and decided (was probably told) to let her off the hook, even before the investigation was finished.

Comey (no doubt feeling “nauseated” again) decided he had better do as he was told. His weakness can be understood, but it’s extremely unbecoming for a person in that position.

What is really awful (and ominous) about this is the confirmation how politicized the branches of government had become. We know how the IRS “went political”. Clapper has pretty much confirmed how politicized the intel community was, and probably to a degree still is. And now we know the past administration wasn’t above making the FBI an instrument of their political objectives too.

Politics is always involved in government functioning, but there are times and places for that. Using the branches of government to harass the opposition or cover up for its own are beyond the pale and are highly suggestive how totalitarian their instincts really are.

If we owe him nothing else, we do owe Trump at least something for providing a “break” or “respite” in the march to totalitarianism that was well in motion before he was in office.

It’s no wonder the left is in such an uproar and so much at war with the Trump administration. What remains to be seen is just how long the “respite” will be. The left is utterly determined that it will be as short as possible.

Is really a strange thing. Very odd how he handled both sides.

👍 I think the left is very concerned about how deep their corruption is being
revealed. Remember, it is the big bad republicans who wear the black hats - at least that is what they want us to believe!

The whole thing was a ruse. Comey was never going to recommend charges, even though he explicitly stated all of the instances when the law was broken, and Loretta Lynch was never going to make the charges happen. Does anyone believe the she and Bill Clinton talked about grandkids on the plane in Arizona? H.C. blames Comey for her election loss. She should be thanking him for not sending her to prison for the rest of her miserable life. How anyone on the left can defend this is beyond me.

👍 They seem to still think Americans are stupid and can have the wool pulled over their eyes!

It doesn’t actually seem odd to me.

An old timber guy once told me how to tell if a walnut tree (normally very valuable) would lose its value if it was “wind shaky”. That’s a disruption of the grain caused by the tree whipping back and forth in the wind when it doesn’t have the trunk strength yet to resist it. Typically that happens when a tree’s height exceeds the girth needed for that height.

Comey was, and is, “wind shaky”. He so wanted to keep his office that he bent with the political wind. But the wind was inconstant, so he shook first this way, then that, and continued doing it after Trump’s election. In doing so, he disrespected his high office and himself. Yes, Obama might have canned him if he recommended prosecution of Clinton and the public learned of it. If Lynch had anything to say about it, Obama would have done just that.

But Comey didn’t have the “trunk strength” to resist, so he shook with the wind, gaining only a temporary respite for doing so. In short, the height of his ambitions exceeded the strength of his underlying character.

Perhaps he drafted statements that went both ways, to have each ready.
Perhaps the evidence was overwhelming at that point in her favor.
Perhaps he was inquiring about the wording of statements in general?
It’s hard to know with just one-sided, vague info like this.

The point is…drafting something is not the same as giving it. He did wait until all were interviewed, and that’s the important thing.
Not like our current president, who pays no attention to facts whatsoever.

He did NOT wait until all were interviewed.

*"According to new transcripts released by the Senate Judiciary 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. "

Will you now restate that the Obama administration paid “no attention to facts whatsoever?”
