James Comey’s Testimony on Huma Abedin Forwarding Emails Was Inaccurate
Propublica.org ^ | May 8, 2017, 10:38 p.m. | by Peter Elkind, special to ProPublica,

Huma Abedin — 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. (Weiner’s laptop was seized after he came under criminal investigation for sex crimes, following a media report about his online relationship with a teenager.)
 
The problem: Much of what Comey said about this was inaccurate. Now the FBI is trying to figure out what to do about it.
 
FBI officials have privately acknowledged that Comey misstated what Abedin did and what the FBI investigators found. On Monday, the FBI was said to be preparing to correct the record by sending a letter to Congress later this week. But that plan now appears on hold, with the bureau undecided about what to do.

Trump needs to get Jeff Sessions busy. Or better yet - appoint a Special Prosecutor.

The criminal connections between Comey, Lynch, Obama and the Clintons are disgustingly more obvious every day.

Because of the confusion, I think we need an independent prosecutor to look into the matter

I watched the whole thing and got the impression that both Comey and Yates were flailing in the water looking for a lifeline from the Democrats.

This morning, reportedly, Mika B. said all of Trump’s lies would finally bring him down. Since they always project what they are doing on us, it would seem that the lies on the Democrat side are piling up.

Remember, Business Insider is a far left source.

They are very far left ideologically. Take what they report with that in mind.

I’m a little confused. Help me out, someone. The federal government spends trillions and the state department does not have any printers. Employees thereof have to print docs at home?

Comey, Lynch, Obama and the Clintons are disgustingly more obvious every day.

Yet the media who runs the DNC is focusing on demonizing the Trump administration (ie Flynn).

The criminality of the Regime is stupendous. You’d think they would STFU but no they double down.

Yep. And did you just see the thread where that idiot Linda Graham wants to open an investigation into Trump's tax records???

Rome is burning down, but Lyndsey is fiddling.

Did it ever occur to Comey that Huma and her husband wire-transferred the classified intel out of the country---
to America's enemies? Huma has global Muslim contacts --- people who'd pay large sums for US intel.

This'll give you nightmares.....counting up Huma's cousins w/ their greedy Muslim hands in the State Dept cookie jar.

UNDER HOUSE ARREST---Huma's first cousin Omar Amanat AKA a serial swindler
He subsidized businesses w/ our tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept. Six million dollars is missing.

EXCERPT--“Thanks for getting in touch. Would love to arrange a meeting,” Huma Abedin replied in a June 23, 2009, email to her cousin Omar Amanat and Shamil Idriss, who heads New York-based Soliya Inc.

In May 2010, then-Secy Clinton helped Soliya get access to U.N. funding by making the U.S. a participant in a U.N. high-tech media initiative called the Alliance of Civilizations. Then in October 2010, the State Department directly awarded Soliya $1.25 million for a media technology project. “Huma helped Omar make KIT appear more valuable because of its association with the Alliance of Civilizations, which was approved by Hillary and funded in part by U.S. grants (tax dollars),” said an attorney familiar with the case.

“This helped Omar raise money for KIT, which he and his brother misappropriated for other purposes. Approximately $6 million has vanished.”

Amanat took KIT Digital public in August 2009. At the time, Amanat, known as a “serial swindler,” was in personal bankruptcy and being sued by other investors. Despite his reputation, he still managed to gain special access to US government tax dollars thanks to his ties to his well-positioned cousin and the Clinton Foundation.

THE MONEY LAUNDRY Records show that Amanat and several other family members and related charities have together donated as much as $1.2 million to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative, as well as the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Amanat, who personally contributed as much as $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed to the Council on Foreign Relations during the time that Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state.

While the FBI has apparently closed its espionage investigation into Clinton’s unsecured private email server (the House has reopened it), its public corruption investigation into the Clinton Foundation remains open.

It’s not clear if this still-active probe overlaps with the Amanat fraud investigation. However, investigators reportedly continue to look into alleged “pay-for-play” schemes involving the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation and its wealthy donors, as well as entities that paid the Clintons millions of dollars in speaking fees.

Judicial Watch and other government watchdog groups have charged that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play operation that rewarded its benefactors with State Department favors.

Apparently, the corrupt Comey never considered the possibility that Hillary, Huma, her husband, Huma's cousin Omar Amanat, and other Abedin family members may have committed federal offenses, including, but not limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False (falsified) ocument to an Agent of the US Government for govt funding (may involve several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to govt funding documents required by ERISA enacted 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government regarding federal funding),

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights). Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. Conspiring with others to violate taxpayers' constitutional rights.

<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the cabal of persons (2) were employed by or associated with a federally funded enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §2 41 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional mandates in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

=========================================

Taxpayers demand the agencies listed commence investigations of Huma, her cousins, and other family member ASAP:

<><> FBI — Wire Fraud Division

<><> IRS-Fraud Unit

<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,

<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.

<><> DOJ’s Criminal Division— Public Integrity Section
