COMEY was the one who let Hillary and Bill 'off' in their first big scandal, Whitewater in 1996.
It is also said that he was unable to tell you hired him for his then current position as, reportedly, number two man in the FBI.but that was believed to be Hillary and Bill, currently in the White House. So, this sheds some more interesting light. If the above is true, Comey, no doubt, had some allegiance to Hillary and Bill, which could account , in part , for the surprising 'free pass,' on EmailGate.

'NO INTENT' BY HILLARY, SAYS FBI's
COMEY -BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PRIVATE SERVER, etc?
EMAIL Select Committee Emergency
Hearing with FBI Director James Comey
Review by Wake America, WakeAmericaNow
Just the unprecedented action of having a
private email server in her home basement seemed like enough 'intent' to many of those who questioned FBI director
James Comey in a hastily called 'emergency' select committee hearing following
a surprising ( to many) innocent verdict of Hillary Clinton and her private server/email dust-up. But Comey came back often to his
favorite word, almost as if trying to find a way to excuse her from the dozens
of infractions he freely attributed to her. Yes, she was GUILTY of those, but
not enough to be prosecuted, Comey would infer again and again.
It was a very informative and
valuable 4 and 1/2 hour session during
which Comey was grilled by over 20 House and Senate
members including GOP stalwarts including Trey Gowdy, Jim Jordan, chairman
Jayson Chavetz, who all seemed to offer key questions surrounding Comey's
decision as well as lesser known players such as Will Hurd of Texas. On the other side of the ledger, the
Democratic questioners, led by Elijah Cummings, seemed to mostly offer
apologetic comments and self-serving questions to Comey, for whom they felt was
called to the meeting unnecessarily after a final decision to let Clinton go
free, despite Comey's long list of grievances involving Hillary, her emails and
private server.
As much as Comey would criticize
Clinton, he would never go so far as to call her a liar, unlike General
Patraeus, to whom he freely attributed the term. But many surprising inconsistencies and
omissions came up during the session, a
hearing that will surely lead to further developments and negative
publicity for Clinton, the presumed Democratic candidate for President. The long Benghazi Select Committee Hearings
were criticized as a 'witch hunt' by many, despite the fact that if it weren't
for those we would never have known of Clinton's private server. Though only in a single session, so far, this
Select Committee hearing offered some new
and startling developments, such as:
- 'NO INTENT by HILLARY'- INTENT was the word of the day and
it seemed like Comey's modus operandi
for letting HIllary Clinton skate free.
It's as if the previously respected FBI head found a 'loophole' in the
law to save not only his skin but those of the administration he worked for.
Despite her unprecedented act of installing a private server in her home ,deleting some
30,000 emails including over 100 classified
and various other acts he called
'serious' breaches, Comey would refused to find incriminating fault to incarcerate
or even punish Clinton. Again and again he stated that he was just
doing his job as FBI director, which precluded him from doing much else -not
even suggesting to the Justice Department that there should be some kind of
reprimand - though he admitted that if someone did the same thing in his FBI
they likely be punished.
- NO PRECEDENT - Almost as key as her supposed lack
of 'intent' was that the FBI could only find one other similar case study with
which to compare Hillary's case, while Comey
believed it would be too hard to prove intent against
Hillary since there was no good , relatable precedent.
In truth,
one congressman brought up the case of Brian Nishamura (sp) as a similar case
along with the codes 793F or 1024 or
title 18 for getting people off. Gowdy
then claimed that you don't need a precedent
to punish someone like her. The FBI is run so insularly, which is part of te problem, according to some.
- HILLARY TOO 'UNSOPHISTICATED' regarding classified email and technology
to be guilty - Comey would 'let off'
Clinton for being not being ' sophisticated'
enough to recognize a classified
document with the 'C' notation after
admitting most in a similar position would have been well aware of the symbol for 'classified.' .
In so doing, he accepted that her underlings had probably done the dirty work of altering documents to not include the classified
designation while forwarding those up to Hillary. He accepted the explanation
that Hillary did not know about the classified emails.
'YOU MEAN WITH A CLOTH?'
was how Hillary answered a previous testimony question about cleaning
her private server. Comey brushed that one aside, again, being exceedingly
generous to a person in Hillary's position, so much so It's almost laughable. Other Hillary statements, made in public but
disregarded by Comey include:
- 'I turned over ALL the emails.'
-
'My attorneys went through every email'
-
'Nothing was marked 'classified' in my emails'
That Hillary likely contradicted
these statements at her FBI interview doesn't seem to matter. Comey didn't tell
us anything, but , perhaps transcripts of the interview will shed some further
light on Hillary's possible contradictions, for what it's worth. Many House
members thought any real negligence was no excuse for Hillary.
'NO
LIES' - So much for those above statements, Comey said he wasn't able to
find any 'lies' in Hillary's testimony during the entire year
investigation, despite the fact that
many of her answers were direct opposite from statements she had given in public,
like those above. Comey insisted he wasn't interested in her public statements.
It was interesting that the FBI waited until the very end to interview HIllary
- and not under oath, AND WITHOUT COMEY PRESENT - perhaps so as
not to get too close to the situation and risk any further implication, himself.
In addition, Hillary wasn't even under oath during the interview and
probably only showed up, voluntarily, the last day, after it had come down (behind
the scenes) that she wouldn't be indicted.
Comey wasn't able to recall many
of her answers, probably due to the fact
he wasn't there at her interview. At the request of Chavetz and others, Comey
promised transcripts of the interview, as admissible. Again, Comey freely spoke
of Patraeus' 'lies' but refused to attributed a single lie to HIllary; perhaps the fact that Patraeus was more
honest and admitted to mistakes cost him, as Comey considered Patraeus' case
much more serious than Clinton's and worthy of jail time if not punishment by
the FBI.
Perhaps Comey didn't want to find
any lies in Hillary's statements as he admitted that would give him another
avenue for indicting Hillary - an avenue
he probably didn't want to go down., i.e. PERJURY. That Hillary broke so
many laws should have been enough, by themeselves, for a different outcome.
But, not according to Comey
HACKED SERVER - Comey admitted that it probably
wouldn't make any difference as far as indicting Hillary if her server had been
hacked. He said there was no definite
knowledge of such despite one of the questioners offering a litany of other hacked
governmental servers including those of Brenner, Klapper and Guiliani . In addition,
there were a reported 9,000 hacks of the Homeland Security computers, 20,000 of
the FBI, 2 million of the OPM, 2,015 of the IRS, 800,000 of the Post Office,
110,000 of the State Department. Were not any of these a result of possible
attacks to Hillary's computer? With so many, odds are that Hillary's computer
was hacked, too.
One of the
big issues for the Select Committee members was the security risk with
Hillary's private server, that the criminal element could get a hold of
Hillary's emails.
DOUBLE STANDARD: Comey repeatedly denied there was any 'double standard' in
the way he treated HIllary vs. someone else who might have been in a similar
position. He did admit, however, that others
in similar situations could get
indicted. Basically, the only other way
she could get indicted was if she perjured herself, as we understood Comey. And, Comey steered clear of calling any of
the many contradictions by HIllary 'lies,' so she wouldn't have to go down that
road, we speculate.
OTHER
NOTES THAT CAME OUT OF HEARING:
- Clinton's
right hand person, Huma Abedin admitted in earlier questioning that Hillary had
the private server specifically to keep emails private. She also admitted ,
according to a Fox report, that Hillary burned her daily schedules.
- 'A Gmail account had better security that
what she had.'
- Hillary was 'unaware of classification
requirements, according to Comey, and that 'lots of people' are unaware of
them.
- Gowdy thought the investigation should be
more a gross negligence case than just about intent.
- Several Democrats
, particularly Cummings, used the occasion of the hearings to get on the soap
box for Black Lives Matter (new police vs. blacks), and Trump bashing
REMAINING QUESTIONS:
·
Why didn't Hillary have to testify under oath?
·
Why didn't Comey show up at this last key
interview, with Hillary
·
Why did they wait until the bitter end to interview
Hillary? Why didn't they pin her down with key questions?
·
Why shouldn't Hillary's 'underlings' testify ?
Why not her lawyers, too?
·
Why exactly was the private server builder,
Brian Paglioni (sp) given immunity?
·
As already noted, why wasn't Comey at Hillary's
big, important interview?
·
Why did Hillary wait two years to return the
server and four years to delete
emails?
- COMEY BACKGROUND:
One thing most interesting to come out of all of this is from a man who
worked with and knows Comey, who stated that Comey's good reputation has
largely come on indicting lesser known people with bad reputations. It's likely
he gets caught up in the glamour of celebrity as he hasn't had a record of
indicting people of HIllary's fame, according to the gentleman whose name we
don't recall from one of the talk shows.

OTHER NOTES THAT CAME OUT OF HEARINGS:
- Just a week ago,
before he boarded in Los Angeles for an
unlikely impromptu visit with Secretary of State Loretta Lynch , Bill Clinton
called the FBI investigation a witch hunt, or perhaps said in more liely
words. Democratic Chairman
Wasserman-shultz clained that 'Clinton is not the target' of the
investigation,' according to one of the House questioners.
- Comey admitted that somewhere between 2-10 'uncleared' people
including Hillalry's attorneys had access to her emails, classified or
otherwise. He said there would be 'no
consequences for any of their actions.
- Though Comey only noted three manipulated
emails, what about the hundreds or thousands more that we'll probably never see?
- It was the Inspector General of their own administration-
not the Republicans- who called for the FBI investigation, contrary to the
belief of many - especially Democrats
- Hillary refused to be interviewed by her own Inspector
General
- Comey made no
recommendations to the State Department for further actions against Hillary,
since they were out of the FBI's
jurisdiction, according to him. He could have made those suggestions as he did
not to indict Hillary.
BOTTOM LINE: Though Comey and the FBI found
'no evidence of evil intent to obstruct justice,' by Clinton despite the admitted serious
charges and if many of the questions are out of
the FBI director's jurisdiction, as Comey indicated, then whose jurisdiction
are they in to meet out consequences? Comey admitted to a hypothetical question that
if the next President did the same exact things as Hillary , that President ,
too, would not be indicted.
Then, who is it that will answer? Why have laws? Why spend money and
time on all these investigations... including Benghazi, IRS, etc., when
everyone keeps getting let off the hook with no accountability??? Though Comey wouldn't admit it, he felt the
pressure of his administration , just in the Benghazi and IRS investigations,
to find a way out from persecution
for Hillary and found this 'intent loophole' to save her.
FINAL OBSERVATIONS:
WORSE THAN PUNISHMENT? It's possible that Hillary will look even
worse in the public's eyes, getting off Scot free despite being fingered on so
many issues by Comey and the FBI
