The IG report will torch Comey, but it’s not all good news

 

James Comey is a disgrace. Of that there is no doubt. He sees himself as the perennial boy scout who can do no wrong. He believes that something is right, justified and appropriate simply because he is the one doing it. When he leaks something it’s not a leak. When he lies, it’s not a lie. It’s scary to think such a person could become the head of the premier law enforcement agency in the country.



The Inspector General’s report is coming soon and it is expected to torch Comey:

During an interview with Bill O’Reilly on the former Fox News host’s website, Davis explained why he thought Comey should have been fired by former President Barack Obama and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

“I was interviewed by the inspector general. I only told one reporter that and it was never written,” he said. “So this is my first to say that I was interviewed after my making a phone call researching my book that I considered James Comey to have acted unethically and that he should have been fired by Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch because he violated Justice Department policies by holding a press conference and expressing his opinion publicly on the evidence.”

Davis also condemned Comey, who was fired by President Trump last spring, for writing a letter to Congress saying he was reopening the investigation less than two weeks before the 2016 presidential election.

“That’s a firing offense. His decision to write a letter 11 days before the election, whether it hurt Clinton or hurt Trump, was not consistent with 50 years of Justice Department policy to do nothing that might impact presidential elections,” Davis argued.

An article in Time magazine goes on to confirm that:

The Justice Department’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, will soon release a much-anticipated assessment of Democratic and Republican charges that officials at the FBI interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign. That year-long probe, sources familiar with it tell TIME, is expected to come down particularly hard on former FBI director James Comey, who is currently on a high-profile book tour. It will likely find that Comey breached Justice Department protocols in a July 5, 2016, press conference when he criticized Hillary Clinton for using a private email server as Secretary of State even as he cleared her of any crimes, the sources say. The report is expected to also hit Comey for the way he reopened the Clinton email probe less than two weeks before the election, the sources say.

Comey had no business passing a judgment as to whether Hillary Clinton should face prosecution or not. He totally bungled the investigation. His press conference on the newfound emails eleven days before the election was an effort to cover his own ass. He officially created a two-tiered justice system– one for the Clinton’s and one for the rest of us.

Comey has presided over a slew of FBI failures, including Larry Nassar, Omar Mateen and Nikolas Cruz. Comey has fashioned himself as an ignoramus.

Comey said it never occurred to him that there might be a connection between Anthony Weiner and Hillary Clinton.

How ignorant and/or stupid do you have to be to miss that? Or was it by design?

Comey said he didn’t know who paid for the Russian dossier, despite the admissions that it was paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Then after describing how different the Clinton probe was from the Trump probe, Comey claimed there was no difference in the way the two were treated. Comey is either and idiot or is thoroughly dishonest.

James Comey deserves to have his ass reamed. He has brought great damage to the FBI. He has caused a loss of faith in the bureau. But this report will also breathe life into the moribund Hillary Clinton, who will stagger to her unsteady feet and once again shriek that the election was stolen from her. Just having to listen to her voice is punishment for America.

As an aside, this cracked me up today:
