Judicial Watch: New Strzok-Page Emails Reveal FBI Efforts to Muddle Comey Testimony on Clinton Email
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 6/20/2019 | ADMIN

Judicial Watch announced today it received 345 pages of records from the Department of Justice that show FBI top officials scrambling to write a letter to Congress to supplement then-Director James Comey’s Senate testimony in an apparent attempt to muddle his message.

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a January 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the DOJ failed respond to a December 4, 2017 FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00154)). Judicial Watch is seeking all communications between FBI official Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page.

The emails were released in response to a May 21 court order by U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton to the FBI to process 13,000 pages of records.

In an email thread starting at 6:34 a.m. on May 9, 2017, with the subject line “Comey’s Testimony on Huma Abedin Forwarding Emails Was Inaccurate – ProPublica” nearly a dozen top FBI officials scrambled to draft a letter to Congress about Comey’s May 3 Senate testimony.

This email thread was concerned with a May 8, 2017, ProPublica report stating that, “Comey’s most surprising revelation was that Huma Abedin — [Anthony] Weiner’s wife and a top Clinton deputy — had made ’a regular practice’ of forwarding ‘hundreds and thousands’ of Clinton messages to her husband, ‘some of which contain classified information.’ Comey testified that Abedin had done this so that the disgraced former congressman could print them out for her boss.… FBI officials have privately acknowledged that Comey misstated what Abedin did and what the FBI investigators found.”

After a flurry of emails, by 8:56 a.m. Comey’s chief of staff, Jim Rybicki, sent the group a draft letter for Congress, saying, “Below is a draft that has been reviewed by the Director. Please let me know..

Well, Judicial Watch has many tens of thousands of emails to read, review, cross-reference, and summarize. (Like Hillary’s emails - The FBI did NOT release these in searchable (original text files) but as printed pages! - so no search and key words research can be done on the whole batch. You have to read-and-remember every email separately one at a tie.

However, Judicial Watch also can keep their story churning by releasing them separately. Which dilutes the “news” and allows the ABCNNBCBS TV shows to ignore the whole thing. (After all, the story becomes old news” any time they want label it.)

I'm guessing Huma and her pervert wanted an insurance policy aginst Hillary and her pervert.

Lots of thugs in DC wanted 'insurance policies against each other... tells you the corruption is DEEP...and it's everywhere in the filth of the swamp.
