He had all the info he need to lock her up for over a decade with the email server alone.
Here is my theory.
Comey has millions in ill gotten gains from Billary.
So he put people he has the goods on to investigate Billary.
Meanwhile all these other investigations going on.
Without him noticing someone WHO HAS THE GOODS ON COMEY got put in charge of the Wiener investigation.
Oh, crap! He has to go public with it.
It is obvious that this is NOT due to serious evidence, or threats to national security because by just setting up the server to obstruct justice that bar was already met.
Of course we have been hearing about the mutiny in the FBI, so that put more pressue on Comey as well. This is likely worse that we’ve heard. The problem is that Comey cannot fire anyone, as they will go to the press.
Correction: the NYPD Special crimes unit who is not under Comey’s control which has custody of evidence that Comey cannot destroy..
Is there any reason to believe Comey is that brilliant?
More likely he did it to try to head-off a mutiny.
Comey thought he had sacrificed his integrity for a big Wall Street pay off on the back side. In comey’s mind this was a done deal. Then Carlos Danger stumbles into the mix with his pants down and upsets all the apple carts. I’m sure these Clinton operatives will be asking themselves for years to come how stupid blind coincidence could have so thoroughly f’ed up such a fool proof plan.
Before we continue the guessing game, let’s wait for the next wikileak message — I’m pretty sure they have the entire answer to this mystery. Comey may have already read the wikileak email and therefore decided to come clean.
I think the explanation is simple. The agents assigned to the Anthony Weiner sexting case finally got around to looking at Weiner’s computer and Voilà, there were all of Huma Abedin’s emails! No doubt that many were of a classified nature, and they were residing on a Yahoo email account that could easily be hacked.
So what was James Comey going to do when he was notified through normal channels with the appropriate paper trails, ask his agents to sit on it until after the election because the public did not have a right to know this information BEFORE they voted for her?
No way would that be the RIGHT thing to do.
That sad thing is that Americans have known about the Clintons and how they operate for 25-30 years. We shouldn’t need Wikileaks to tell us what’s been obvious for decades. Glad to have it. But we shouldn’t have to rely on it.
Let's make a serious argument here. How can telling the world that "no crime was committed" and then later reopening an investigation at the eleventh hour really ever help your credibility?
The theory, like the theory that Comey deliberately laid out the case and then pulled back with a mens rea justification for non-prosecution at the last moment, like the theory that John Roberts really intended to destroy 0bamacare by gutting the Commerce Clause and calling it a tax, is too clever by half.
Comey ALREADY had enough evidence to convict Hillary of multiple felonies. Even if a very smart lawyer could have made a convincing argument to a very stupid jury that the Espionage Act requires intent, there is still the problem that Clinton and her aids destroyed evidence, made false statements to the FBI, and conspired to violate the law.
But even if we grant that this is a brilliant strategy, the theory still has a problem: because you see, Comey gave immunity to at least five people in this investigation -- and the ones we absolutely know of are at the top of the food chain, not low level types who would drop a dime on the higher-ups -- in addition to which he allowed them to retain possession of the means by which they committed their crimes, permitted some of them to be present during the questioning of other targets, and in some cases to allowed (or encouraged) them to destroy the evidence.
None of those things would be permitted by someone who was conducting a continuing investigation.
The fact that Comey had a slam dunk win against Clinton and purposefully blew it away tells you that this latest development results from an awareness that there is evidence out there that is beyond the reach of Barack 0bama and his minions, flunkies, and stooges. (Of which Comey is one.)
There’s an old adage, “On the Internet all 15-year-old girls are FBI agents.”
Comey had a bigger problem than “some of his agents” (whom he could threaten and intimidate.) The original investigation of Weiner was done by detectives of the NYPD. So LEO’s beyond Comey’s reach have seen some of this evidence.
Disagree.
Comey didn’t get enough of a payoff.
Outstanding post!
YES..!
AND he quashed the inquiry into HSBC laundering all that drug money to CONFUSE the cartels, maybe..?
SEE..?! And THAT is where the YETI comes in..!
Wait! Gimme just a minute, this doesn’t involve UFO’s all that much, at all.
Now, as I was sayin’...
(burly polite men dressed in all white abruptly seize both of my arms)
no sale
This has been my theory since July. Bill met with Loretta Lynch on the tarmac to beg her and reason. “Hillary is very ill and would not make it through an idtictment, she will make a very sympathetic figure. Gosh, Loretta, I’m not sure she will even be able to make it through the campaign with out collapsing”. In exchange for no prosecution, Hillary will withdraw from the campaign as soon as possible.” So, the big collapse on 9/11 was buying time........I think it has all been a fake and she had no intention of withdrawing, that they snookered Comey. What we are seeing now is payback.
The whole thing stinks.
I think he only said the investigation is back open to deny FOIA requests.
