It Wasn’t Comey’s Decision to Exonerate Hillary – It Was Obama’s
National Review ^ | 09/02/2017 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 09/02/2017 7:37:11 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

The thing to understand, what has always been the most important thing to understand, is that Jim Comey was out in front, but he was not calling the shots.

On the right, the commentariat is in full-throttle outrage over the revelation that former FBI Director Comey began drafting his statement exonerating Hillary Clinton in April 2016 – more than two months before he delivered the statement at his now famous July 5 press conference.

The news appears in a letter written to new FBI Director Christopher Wray by two senior Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans, Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham. Pundits and the Trump administration are shrieking because this indicates the decision to give the Democrats’ nominee a pass was clearly made long before the investigation was over, and even long before key witnesses, including Clinton herself, were interviewed.

It shows, they cry, that the fix was in!

"The decision not to indict Hillary Clinton was not made by then-FBI Director Comey. It was made by President Obama and his Justice Department – Comey’s superiors."

"FBI Rewrites Federal Law to Let Hillary Off the Hook"

"When damning proof nevertheless mounted, the Obama administration dismissed the whole debacle by rewriting the statute (to impose an imaginary intent standard) and by offering absurd rationalizations for not applying the statute as written."

"That plan was in place and already being implemented when Director Comey began drafting the “findings” he would announce months later."

"But it was not Comey’s plan."

"It was Obama’s plan."

Trump should aggressively go after Zer0. Prison, fines. I fear he does not have the fire that the left has.

But on the other hand, Comey was quite willing to go along with letting Hillary, with whom he is a long-time co-conspirator, off the hook.

Any hesitation he may have had is due to worry that he would be the fall guy, and lose his (undeserved) ‘sterling reputation’.

Who didn't know this? Same as the Benghazi cover up.

Okay, the next time I get stopped for speeding, I will tell the officer that I did not intent to speed. Yeah, that’ll work.

Comey -> 0vomit -> ? -> ? -> ?

This will be like peeling an onion. Who is the next layer? Hitlery? Then Bill? Then Soros? Have I got these in the correct order? Are there more layers in between? Maybe Jarrett is in there somewhere, or Huma Danger Weiner.

Nope. It was Valarie Jarrett’s plan.

So it was Obama’s racket the whole time?
Was there really ever any doubt about that?

Sessions could call for one right? Where the heck is Sessions? Hiding under his desk?

We are going to need a “three pack”, i.e. three jail cells right next to each other, for Comey, Obama, and Hillary Clinton.

Ain’t that a lovely bunch of coconuts!

Hillary will be safe in jail. No sane guy is going to “hit” on her. As for Comey and Obama, they might have to learn what the real meaning of “buddy system” is.
