FBI Confirms That Comey Drafted Statement On Clinton Probe Months Before Investigation Ended
Gee....Could it be that the Hildabeast, Comey, Lynch and BO ARE complicit in a MASSIVE COVER UP?
DUHHHHHHH.....
The FBI released emails Monday confirming that former FBI Director James Comey drafted statements regarding the Hillary Clinton email investigation months before the probe was closed.
The bureau released a file entitled “Drafts of Director Comey’s July 5, 2016 Statement Regarding Email Server Investigation,” to its Freedom of Information Act website. The file contains an email Comey sent May 2, 2016, to several FBI officials regarding the Clinton email probe, which was referred to internally by the codename “Midyear Exam.”
The draft statement was first revealed in late August by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Republicans questioned whether Comey’s draft statement indicated that he had arrived at a conclusion about the Clinton investigation months before he interviewed the former secretary of state and numerous other witnesses. The draft was also prepared before the Justice Department had made immunity deals with Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson.
“Conclusion first, fact-gathering second — that’s no way to run an investigation,” Grassley and Graham wrote the FBI in August, seeking more information about Comey’s drafts.
“The outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while FBI agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts,” they added.
Comey announced on July 5, 2016 — three days after FBI investigators finally interviewed Clinton — that he would not be recommending charges against the Democrat for mishandling classified information on her private email system.
The emails released on Monday do not show Comey’s draft statement. The contents of his email exchanges are completely redacted.
On May 16, 2016, Comey’s chief of staff, James Rybicki, forwarded Comey’s draft statement to other FBI officials asking for any comments on the document.
“Please send me any comments on this statement so we may roll into a master doc for discussion with the Director at a future date,” Rybicki wrote to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI official Peter Strzock, the chief investigator on the Clinton probe, and several other FBI officials.

LIBERALS.....
This is what obstruction of justice looks like.
Do you think it will happen?
The supposedly damaging email was sent on May 2, 2016.
By that date there were already numerous expert articles in the media opining that Clinton would not be indicted based on the home email set up.

You people are apparently upset that the FBI was concluding it's investigation. By May 2, 2016, Comey already knew everything about Hillary Clinton's emails.
By the way, Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on Jun 27, 2016 , 55 days after the seeded article says Comey had made the decision not to recommend prosecution of Hillary Clinton.
Every time new dirt comes out on Comey I can't help thinking. No wonder Hillary got off scott free.
A few months ago I attended a 4th of July party with about 30 active FBI agents in Los Angeles. Not being one myself, I asked several of them about their thoughts on Comey. The notion that the agency was in disarray and happy about Comey's firing is patently ridiculous. People who investigate corruption and knock down doors for a living were telling me that they actually cried when they heard he was fired. He was highly admired and respected within the ranks. Those on the outside talking like they know something, like yourself, are so full of shit that they're bursting at the seams.
The seeded article is not new dirt on Comey. The existence of this "memo" was revealed a few weeks ago. The seeded article is a conservative web site trying to make something out of nothing.
So, just like the investigation into Clinton mishandling of classified information, we are supposed to forget it? And why? Because it makes the left look bad? Because it's the OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE you want us to believe President Trump perpetrated.
Funny since what you are calling a delusion has more evidence than the one the left has about collusion with Russia. This article reinforces it. But you keep doing your fantasy world.
To give Comey the benifit of the doubt, he did lay out how Clinton was guilty of breaking the law. What he did say was that he could not find a federal prosecutor that would take the case. Knowing the clintons track record that was probably a good move on the prosecutors part. Right Seth? Vince?
Ouch!
