COMEY HAS BEEN IN THE CLINTON CAMP FOR A LONG TIME...
Lest anyone think FBI Director Comey was non-partisan and not another liberal lawyer, take note:
During the Senate Whitewater Investigation 20 years ago, James Comey was looking into the conduct of President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton.
The investigation was to determine whether Bill Clinton used his political position as governor of Arkansas (in the 1980s) to push through an illegal loan to benefit Bill and Hillary's business partner in Whitewater.
Several people involved in Whitewater went to jail, but no criminal prosecution was in the cards for Bill and Hillary.
Remember James Comey was the Deputy Special Counsel for the Whitewater investigation.

The pardon of billionaire Marc Rich (who traded illegally with America's enemies including Iran) by President Bill Clinton was something that everyone knew reeked of impropriety after learning that Rich's wife donated $450,000 to the Clinton Library. Again James Comey oversaw investigations of the pardon matters.
Unbelievably James Comey did not recommend charging the Clinton in any of these matters.

U.S. Attorney James Comey – opted to prosecute Martha Stewart in 2003.
He said at that time, “I thought of my hesitation about the case due to someone being rich and famous, and how it shouldn’t be that way. I decided we had to do it.”
Martha Stewart spent 5 months in prison…after being jailed for lying to investigators.

Wrote a letter in support of Eric Holder as Attorney General, even though Holder was the one pushing for Marc Rich pardon years before.
—————————————
As deputy attorney general in 2004, Comey was involved in the investigation of Berger.
Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of intentionally removing documents from the National Archives and destroying some of them. He was fined $50,000, sentenced to 100 hours of community service and two years probation. Also, his national security license was stripped for two years.
—————————————
Comey appointed Patrick J. Fitzgerald, a U.S. attorney in Chicago, to act as special counsel in conducting the inquiry into what became known as “Plamegate.”
At the time Comey made the appointment, Fitzgerald was already godfather to one of Comey’s children.
In 2005, Fitzgerald prosecuted Libby, a prominent adviser to then Vice President Dick Cheney, in the Plame investigation.
BTW, both Richard Armitage and Colin Powell knew the leaker was NOT Scooter Libby, but they stood silent while Scotter went off to serve time. Fitzgerald left out testimony purposely; i.e. illegal tampering.
