Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly used his private Gmail account hundreds of times to discuss matters related to his work.
The New York Post, citing documents obtained by a conservative watchdog group, reported Friday that Comey discussed FBI-related business with his chief of staff on about 1,200 pages of messages, 156 of which the paper obtained.
The Post noted that at least seven of the messages related to Comey's personal email correspondence were not released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) because they were deemed too sensitive.
The DOJ said the messages “disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions,” according to the Post.
An additional 363 pages of emails weren't released because they either were related to agency communications or may have led to personal privacy concerns.
Representatives for the Justice Department and Comey didn't immediately return a request for comment from The Hill late Friday.
The New York Post said that The Cause of Action Institute, a conservative watchdog group, received the documents through a Freedom of Information Act Request.
Comey, whom President Trump fired from the FBI in May 2017, has received scrutiny over his role in the investigations into Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's private email server and the Russia probe.
The Post noted that the emails it obtained involving Comey are related to communications between 2013 and 2017, adding that more emails are expected to be released soon. The emails reportedly focus on a range of issues, including the Clinton email probe.
The release comes just months after the DOJ's inspector general said Comey used a personal email to conduct government business.
“We identified numerous instances in which Comey used a personal email account to conduct unclassified FBI business,” the report stated.
Comey has said that he did not use the personal email for sensitive or classified information, asserting that his use of it was "incidental."
Clinton mocked Comey over his use of personal email for government business earlier this year, which he pushed back against.
"It was not about her use of a personal email system. It was about communicating about classified topics on that system when those topics have to be done on a classified system," he said at the time.
It doesn’t matter. He’s a Democrat. They never suffer any consequences. Then they have the audacity to claim they’re being persecuted or suppressed by the right.
But in any event, he's off my Christmas list for good.
No wonder he couldn’t prosecute Hillary. Heck, they had probably emailed EACH OTHER on their respective illegal servers.
But let’s talk about Comey disclosing classified information to his law professor friend, Dan Richman, and heck, WALKING into the NY Times HQ accompanied by his wife carrying classified materials to share with the paper.....
Hmmmm...
No ‘reasonable’ prosecutor would consider taking action against Comey...
Yeah — that’s the ticket!
More evidence that they figured Hillary was a shoo-in, and would sweep all the dirt under the Oval Office rug.
Now all the dirt is in the hands of the man they tried to destroy......and Trump isnt letting go.
Curtains Comey
Trump may not be letting go so easily. No one has been arrested. No one will be charged. Meanwhile, Dems are stealing various elections by complete fraud. Dem lawyers running the entire country. What happened with Tester? What happened in Arizone. Florida took corruption to a new level by allowing a corrupt election official to remain in her job and commit the same fraud again. We may end up losing the Senate at this rate.
Yes, it’s disappointing....... to date.
But with Sessions gone, we need to stay hopeful.
Guilty! And, why is he still walking the streets and not already in jail? (”Thanks” Sessions!)
What we’re observing is another fetid legacy of the Halfrican.
The lawless half-caste didnt give a fig for US laws.
In his half-baked mind, all laws and the Constitution were made by evil white men in order to keep minorities subjugated.
This is an article of faith in black communities.
