Comey on Clinton email probe: 'Don't call us weasels'

FBI Director James Comey is passionately defending the integrity of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email setup, arguing that critics are unfair to suggest that agents were biased or succumbed to political pressure.

“You can call us wrong, but don’t call us weasels. We are not weasels,” Comey declared Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “We are honest people and … whether or not you agree with the result, this was done the way you want it to be done.”

Would “sloth” be a better description, Mr. Director?

I sat in on a security talk recently with an Agent who reports to Comey,

I wondered to myself the whole time what he thought of his boss, he seemed like a stand up no-nonsense type,

[DaveA37]

“a few Marines over to FBI hindquarters to kick the snot out of Comey.”....

How about just a few HONEST U.S. Marshals with orders to bring Comey in handcuffed is necessary.

[ManHunter]

Hmmm... Let’s see... Jim Comey, Senior VP and General Counsel of Lockheed-Martin, Inc., makes $6M in one year, Lockheed donates to the Clinton Foundation, Lockheed wins 17 contracts with the State Department.

US Attorney Loretta Lynch files charges on HSBC for drug money laundering, but settles for civil charges and a fine. Jim Comey (future US Attorney and Director of the FBI), is a member of the Board of Directors of HSBC, but resigns his seat on the board when he is confirmed as FBI Director.

This guy’s not a weasel, he’s a stinking, steaming pile of dung, along with every FBI agent who’s keeping quiet about what’s happening to the Bureau and it’s “reputation”. Might aw well change their name to Stasi or Mukhabarat...

CONNECTING THE DOTS:

<><> Comey said the DOJ directed the curious immunity deals.

<><> Sen Sensenbrenner said HE sensed a “heavy hand” from elsewhere in this.

<><>Hillary didn’t get an immunity deal.

<><> At the start of the FBI investigation, even before the evidence was in, Obama said, “Hillary did nothing wrong.”

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."

"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country. ..."

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

Horseshit! The fix was in from the get-go. The relationship between Clinton, Comey, Lynch and Obama goes back farther than 2007/2008.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Like Nixon said he was not a crook, now by denying it they are weasels.

[ManHunter]

“Dedicate agents”? Sorry, but if they are all willing to stand by and watch what little is left of the Bureau’s reputation and integrity destroyed by this corrupt bastard, they are every bit as slimy as he is.

FBI to Platte River IT guy, —” while in the process of destroying evidence that was under subpoena and order to produce preserve data on the Clinton Server with BleachBits , you called the project “Hillary's Cover up Operation”

Platte River IT guy TO FBI -— “Oh, I was just joking”

FBI ‘Breaths sigh of relief and saysmto Platte River IT guy——,”Well, that explains that. Man, I'm sure glad we got cleared up - for a minute there I was afraid we might be dealing with conspiracy to destroy evidence and obstruct justice. What a relief”

FWIW, it's Jim Comey who put Martha Stewart in jail for a long time for perjury on pretty sketchy, circumstantial evidence. I won't even bring up the case of the persecution of Scooter Libby that put him in jail for nothing at all

Yet Comey allows Hillary to skate. As Bill Ayers wrote in his autobiography Fugitive Days "Guilty as hell, free as a bird —it's a great country."

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

The majority of people have no influence over the situation. If every low-level person in every organization threw his gauntlet on the ground and stormed off in a blaze of righteous indignation at the corruption of higher-ups, I don't think there would be many functioning institutions left.

It's highly unrealistic to expect such a thing to happen, and it wouldn't take long for the higher-ups to back-fill the vacancies with far less upstanding replacements. I'm sure there are honest people doing what little they can in their tiny areas of influence to minimize the corruption, which is better than abandoning their posts completely. Until the top is fumigated there won't be an appreciable change no matter what the peons do.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Me thinks, the weasel, doth protest to much.

[avital2]

why insult weasels? comey is a crook. that is pretty obvious now. throw the book at him. maybe he’ll squeal, squeal, squeal all the salient details to save his stinkin’ skin.

[avital2]

let’s not forget the Peter Comey connection. the labyrinth is thick with intrigue and corruption.

[sport]

I would not call them “weasels”. To call them “weasels” would insult weasels and honor them. I would call them traitors.

Comey declared Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “We are honest people and … whether or not you agree with the result, this was done the way you want it to be done.”

This ignorant, political, asskissing son of a bitch needs to be arrested, tried and hanged from the nearest Oak tree.

This, THIS piece of human excrement is the face of our Federal Bureau of Investigation?

I spit on his image...and everything he stands for!
