It would make sense if the clients were the Saudis, since Huma is all chummy with them.

This is the correct answer. He just happened to work at Lockheed , and Lockheed was a Clinton Foundation sponsor...    The Clintons and Comey have been in bed for a long time.

I don't think so.

Comey's handling of the FBI's earlier actions needlessly dragged the agency's name through the mud.   He compounded that error with the laughable memos on how impartial his decisions were.

He can't possibly have been unaware of the cash that has changed hands.

This isn't him trying to be clever, this is him trying to save his ass.   Whether he means to actually go through with it remains to be seen.

He publicly acknowledged that HRC had broken the law but declined to pursue it.

"Although there is evidence of potential violations regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," he said.

With the eminent election, their prior decision not to prosecute, and all political pressures to bear, what they have discovered must be so damning that it cannot be ignored, postponed, or delayed.

Or it's being put forth now so if Trump wins, the FBI can pretend to still have some honor and Obama can pardon everyone for everything just before he leaves office.

I don't. I think he was in on it from the beginning of this whole charade.



I think one of two things happened



1) total revolt within his FBI compromised his situation, being on the Clinton dollars

Or



2) the evidence that came forth was so damning it literally couldn't be ignored, given the possibility of wiki leaks letting the goods go before it could be spun in a damage control sense.



But what the fuck do I know? This is so deep into uncharted territory I don't even recognize where I am.

I was thinking from the subpoena that Jason Chaffetz gave the FBI regarding the missing emails that were not turned over to congress.  If they included something that would enrage congress, then it would really go bad for Comey, Obama, FBI, etc.  Therefore, they used "parallel construction" to figure out a way (now via Weiners phones) to nail Hillary?

I'm a criminal defense attorney, let me tell you why Comey did this. (You'll feel better)


Last edited Fri Oct 28, 2016, 09:46 PM - Edit history (6)

Comey knows that Hillary is going to win reelection. He knows that Rs in the House will very likely rake him over the coals in endless Benghazi like hearings. Comey testified under oath to Congress that he would reopen--or at a minimum reconsider--the investigation should he get additional information. He also testified that if there is a referral from Congress regarding Clinton's untruthful disclosure to FBI that he could open an investigation vis her FBI interview.

Somebody in the know dropped some emails in the FBIs lap recently. (Part of the Weiner investigation maybe, I'm not buying it) This puts Comey in a box. He testified under oath that he would relook at things if more information comes to light--so basically he's in legal trouble (perjury allegation) if he doesn't. This is confirmed by Comey's own memo to FBI employees.

Comey said he felt “an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed.”


https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-director-james-b-comey-under-fire-for-his-controversial-decision-on-the-clinton-email-inquiry/2016/10/28/fbad009c-9d57-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_comey-810pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

Further, if he didn't send the letter he sent today, he would be accused of political collusion with the Clintons. He's covering his ass. Plain and simple. He has bristled at the allegation that he is acting in a partisan way, and this (nothing-burger) letter is his attempt to get back to some type of perceived neutrality in advance of his anticipated testimony to Congress. Imagine if he didn't send the letter. You can just see Gowdy screaming at him, "So you had these additional emails and you kept them a secret until AFTER the election!"

My legal advice to people here is to take a deep breath. This letter is classic CYA. It's designed to protect Comey, and that's it. If he had the goods on Clinton the shoe would have dropped today. Mark Cuban's explanation that Huma was simply printing emails for HRC bears this out. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512552937

PS, watch for any and all oppo that the Clintons have to be released today and tomorrow in advance of the Sunday shows. Anything they have on Trump will come out now. The best defense is a good offense. Let's all strap in and kick this orange bastard's corpulent ass.

Couple people have asked about what the oppo probably is. Here's my best speculative shot..

Absolutely no way someone as careless as Donald Trump has not been surreptitiously audio recorded. In the modern era, everybody has a smart phone. Odds are its an attractive contract vendor who was not required to sign a non-disclosure contract. You can guess what would be in the recording.

Is that legal, you ask? New York's wiretapping law is a "one-party consent" law. New York makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on an in-person or telephone conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. N.Y. Penal Law §§ 250.00, 250.05. So, while I'm not licensed in New York, if the party recording was in the room, the answer is pretty much it looks to be legal.

The person with the recording has probably already consulted with an attorney, found out that it wasn't illegal to make the tape, and they are ready to drop it. Now's the time my friend. The address to the Washington Post is --- The Washington Post, 1301 K Street NW, Washington DC 20071

Very, very plausible.



Think about it: Comey and the FBI probably had Hillary nailed.  Sure-fire indictments.  They were going take her down hard this time.



Then Lynch tells them it doesn't matter what they do or say, she won't ever bring charges against Hillary, and Obama backs her up.



If you are a lifetime agent who prides yourself on upholding the law, that has to really, really infuriate you.  So you play along for now, but keep the big stuff in reserve for a politically opportune time to unleash it on the Clintons.  Even if they never get charged you've effectively ruined her presidency, and ensured that her victory will always be tainted.

Comey knows that Hillary is going to win reelection. He knows that Rs in the House will very likely rake him over the coals in endless Benghazi like hearings. Comey testified under oath to Congress that he would reopen--or at a minimum reconsider--the investigation should he get additional information. He also testified that if there is a referral from Congress regarding Clinton's untruthful disclosure to FBI that he could open an investigation vis her FBI interview.

Somebody in the know dropped some emails in the FBIs lap recently. (Part of the Weiner investigation maybe, I'm not buying it) This puts Comey in a box. He testified under oath that he would relook at things if more information comes to light--so basically he's in legal trouble (perjury allegation) if he doesn't. This is confirmed by Comey's own memo to FBI employees.

Comey said he felt “an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed.”

Further, if he didn't send the letter he sent today, he would be accused of political collusion with the Clintons. He's covering his ass. Plain and simple. He has bristled at the allegation that he is acting in a partisan way, and this (nothing-burger) letter is his attempt to get back to some type of perceived neutrality in advance of his anticipated testimony to Congress. Imagine if he didn't send the letter. You can just see Gowdy screaming at him, "So you had these additional emails and you kept them a secret until AFTER the election!"

My legal advice to people here is to take a deep breath. This letter is classic CYA. It's designed to protect Comey, and that's it. If he had the goods on Clinton the shoe would have dropped today. Mark Cuban's explanation that Huma was simply printing emails for HRC bears this out. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512552937

PS, watch for any and all oppo that the Clintons have to be released today and tomorrow in advance of the Sunday shows. Anything they have on Trump will come out now. The best defense is a good offense. Let's all strap in and kick this orange bastard's corpulent ass.

Couple people have asked about what the oppo probably is. Here's my best speculative shot..

Absolutely no way someone as careless as Donald Trump has not been surreptitiously audio recorded. In the modern era, everybody has a smart phone. Odds are its an attractive contract vendor who was not required to sign a non-disclosure contract. You can guess what would be in the recording.

Is that legal, you ask? New York's wiretapping law is a "one-party consent" law. New York makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on an in-person or telephone conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. N.Y. Penal Law §§ 250.00, 250.05. So, while I'm not licensed in New York, if the party recording was in the room, the answer is pretty much it looks to be legal.

The person with the recording has probably already consulted with an attorney, found out that it wasn't illegal to make the tape, and they are ready to drop it. Now's the time my friend. The address to the Washington Post is --- The Washington Post, 1301 K Street NW, Washington DC 20071

PPS: Still don't feel better? Take a look at the prediction markets hours after the story dropped. http://predictwise.com/

His brother is connected to the Clinton foundation directly. He did a private audit of the foundation and somehow found it to be all on the up and up.

I don't. I think he was in on it from the beginning of this whole charade.

I think one of two things happened

1) total revolt within his FBI compromised his situation, being on the Clinton dollars
Or

2) the evidence that came forth was so damning it literally couldn't be ignored, given the possibility of wiki leaks letting the goods go before it could be spun in a damage control sense.

But what the fuck do I know? This is so deep into uncharted territory I don't even recognize where I am.

My guess is they've found a stash of emails Huma has been saving as blackmail just in case she ever got screwed by Hitlery.

I'm with you, but I bet it was probably Anthony Weiner's stash of "shit that will keep Huma and Hillary from killing me" material. There has always been something a little flaky about that whole marriage--She's the daughter of a family high up in the Muslim radical community, and married to a New York Jew? WTF? And, hanging out with Hillary like her minion (or, Svengali?)? Again, WTF?

If you start counting up all the little "weird, out-of-character" things going on with just that one relationship, you really start to wonder what the hell is going on with all of them. Huma is the nexus, the center--With Valerie Jarrett, the whole shift to the Muslim Brotherhood and Iranians starts to make sense, and you have to wonder how stupid the Clintons are, to have been manipulated this openly.

He fucked up and believed Hildabeast, so he let her go.

The Podesta emails made him look crooked or incompetent.

The $700,000 payoff to McCabe made his team look corrupt.

Hillary's lead in the polls has vanished. He sees the trend and thinks she is weak.

He knows that Anon is about to drop 31k emails. He wants to beat that drop. He know he will look even more idiotic.

He was lied (and stupid) to, looks like an idiot and he is pissed. He wants to save some legacy.

I think what happened was Comey knew of these emails since shortly after the electronic devices were seized a couple months ago but in the last few days some FBI agents leaked the existence of the emails to Congress and/or the press and Comey found out abou the leaks. Comey knowing his covering for Clinton was about to blow up in his face decided that his best bet was to announce the existence of the emails to Congress himself.

U.S. attorney Preet was prosecuting wiener.

He found the emails.
