Remember that hearing last July – the one in which then-FBI Director James Comey told us, with a straight face, that Hillary Clinton was nothing more than “extremely careless” in her handling of classified data on her email server, and there was no reason to indict her?
Remember how most mainstream media were perfectly happy to accept this utterly absurd non-explanation – because they considered the downing of Hillary Clinton and possibility that it would result in Donald Trump winning the election to be unthinkable?
Well, given his success in selling his BS to media (how did that work out in the general election, James), he seems, now, to be using it for his own purposes.
From John Solomon’s article for thehill.com:
More than half of the memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote as personal recollections of his conversations with President Trump about the Russia investigation have been determined to contain classified information, according to interviews with officials familiar with the documents.
This revelation raises the possibility that Comey broke his own agency’s rules and ignored the same security protocol that he publicly criticized Hillary Clinton for in the waning days of the 2016 presidential election.
Comey testified last month he considered the memos to be personal documents and that he shared at least one of them with a friend. He asked that friend, a lawyer at Columbia University, to leak information from one memo to the news media in hopes of increasing pressure to get a special prosecutor named in the Russia case after Comey was fired as FBI director.
“So you didn’t consider your memo or your sense of that conversation to be a government document?” Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) asked Comey on June 8. “You considered it to be, somehow, your own personal document that you could share to the media as you wanted through a friend?”
“Correct,” Comey answered. “I understood this to be my recollection recorded of my conversation with the president. As a private citizen, I thought it important to get it out.”
Comey insisted in his testimony he believed his personal memos were unclassified, though he hinted one or two documents he created might have been contained classified information.
Got that?
We are being asked to believe that the Director of the FBI believed only one or two of his emails might have contained classified information, when, if Mr. Solomon’s sources are correct, more than half of them did.
That would make James Comey one of the most mindless incompetents in government history (no small feat)….or someone who knew damn well what he was doing and did it anyway.
Which of the two do YOU think it was?
It would be nice of Independent Counsel Robert Mueller, and the band of Democrat partisans he surrounded himself with for his “non-partisan” investigation, would take a long, hard look at this part of the story.
Maybe he will. But, to tell you the truth, I’m not going to hold my breath waiting.
