Good day all. This has been building for a while now and it looks like the dam has finally broken. Rank and file agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, (and cover ups) are turning on Director James Comey.
This all goes back to Comey’s brooming of the case against Hillary Clinton and her cronies regarding her illegal email server, the destruction of evidence and outright perjury. When Comey held his press conference announcing the white wash of the Clinton email scandal, everyone was caught off guard, other than the Clintons and the Democrat elite. When Comey said all the people involved in the investigation agreed with him on not charging, (Or recommending charges), the regular agents went privately ballistic. Now the anger is boiling over. Here are some of the details from the New York Post:
Veteran FBI agents say FBI Director James Comey has permanently damaged the bureau’s reputation for uncompromising investigations with his “cowardly” whitewash of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information using an unauthorized private email server.
Feeling the heat from congressional critics, Comey last week argued that the case was investigated by career FBI agents, “So if I blew it, they blew it, too.”
Oh he did NOT say that did he? Talk about throwing the investigating agents under the bus! What a pity they aren’t going to take this lying down.
But agents say Comey tied investigators’ hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation.
“In my 25 years with the bureau, I never had any ground rules in my interviews,” said retired agent Dennis V. Hughes, the first chief of the FBI’s computer investigations unit.
You have never been part of a criminal investigation into the Clintons before either. While most people thought that Cankles would be indicted, many thought that the investigation was being rigged in her favor from the very beginning. Things like the blanket immunity agreements seem to bear this out.
The immunity agreements came with outrageous side deals, including preventing agents from searching for any documents on a Dell laptop owned by former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills generated after Jan. 31, 2015, when she communicated with the server administrator who destroyed subpoenaed emails.
Comey also agreed to have Mills’ laptop destroyed after the restricted search, denying Congress the chance to look at it and making the FBI an accomplice to the destruction of evidence.
And that alone should tell everyone that Comey was bought and paid for by the Clinton’s. The willful destruction of evidence that the Congress had ordered to be preserved should be enough to have Comey dismissed from Government service at best. At worst, he could be, (and should be), criminally charged with obstruction of a congressional investigation. (Or whatever the correct legal terminology may be)
Even with all the immunity, the investigation was stymied by a complete lack of cooperation by those who had been immunized.
Comey’s immunized witnesses nonetheless suffered chronic lapses in memory, made unsubstantiated claims of attorney-client privilege upon tougher questioning and at least two gave demonstrably false statements. And yet Comey indulged it all.
What’s more, Comey cut a deal to give Clinton a “voluntary” witness interview on a major holiday, and even let her ex-chief of staff sit in on the interview as a lawyer, even though she, too, was under investigation.
Clinton’s interview, the culmination of a yearlong investigation, lasted just 3½ hours. Despite some 40 bouts of amnesia, she wasn’t called back for questioning; and three days later, Comey cleared her of criminal wrongdoing.
Now it seems that the FBI is in open revolt against Comey and Lynch. In a story in the American Spectator:
James Comey presides over an FBI in revolt over his leadership, a former U.S. attorney tells The American Spectator, and pursues “paranoid, delusional, and vindictive” measures to prevent negative information leaking out to the public.
“I know that inside the FBI there is a revolt,” Joseph diGenova tells The American Spectator. “There is a revolt against the director. The people inside the bureau believe the director is a dirty cop. They believe that he threw the [Hillary Clinton email] case. They do not know what he was promised in return. But the people inside the bureau who were involved in the case and who knew about the case are talking to former FBI people expressing their disgust at the conduct of the director.”
It’s very rare for a Director to be held to such utter contempt by the Agency he runs. Agents are now comparing Comey to another disgraced director, Patrick Gray.
“There is a consensus among the employees that the director has lost all credibility and that he cannot lead the bureau,” diGenova explains. “They are comparing him to L. Patrick Gray, the disgraced former FBI director who threw Watergate papers into the Potomac River. The resistance to the director has made the agency incapable of action. It has been described to me as a depression within the agency unlike anything that anyone has ever seen within the bureau. The director’s public explanation for the unorthodox investigation are viewed by people in the bureau as sophomoric and embarrassing.”
I remember when the investigation was underway last spring, and people were wondering if the Department of Justice would try and bury the case against Clinton. Fox New contributor and former Judge Andrew Napolitano was always saying that Comey was a “Straight arrow” and would not be pushed into white washing Hillary Clinton’s criminal activities. He also laid out what laws Clinton broke.
He stated that if Obama and Lynch were to order him to give a pass on Clinton, he would ignore it and proceed with his recommendation to indict. The Judge also said that Comey would resign before allowing his good name to be besmirched by the Obama Administration. When Comey tossed the case, Judge Napolitano was stunned. He, like everyone else, listened to Comey’s laying out the case, and right up until Comey said he would not recommend an indictment, thought that Clinton was going to be arrested.
Comey maintained in July that he came to the decision to recommend not indicting Clinton for the inclusion of classified material in 110 emails stored on a private server based on an “entirely apolitical and professional” investigation despite conceding that others in a similar spot would face “consequences” and that “evidence of potential violations” existed. He insisted then, “No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.”
In that he might actually be telling the truth. It has come out that Comey has ties to the Clinton Slush Fund Foundation, albeit not close, and that some sort of quid pro quo had happened. A lot of FBI agents are thinking the same thing apparently.
But agents trained to sniff out malfeasance smell something rotten here.
“When the director said that it was a unanimous decision not to recommend prosecution, that was a lie,” diGenova points out. “In fact, the people involved in the case were outraged at his decision, which he made by himself. When people realized that he was lying publicly about their role and when they knew he had approved of the destruction of laptops that were subject to congressional subpoena, that flipped the switch.”
“The director’s public explanation for the unorthodox investigation are viewed by people in the bureau as sophomoric and embarrassing,” diGenova notes. “The people in the bureau anticipate that there will be subpoenas for their testimony.
Well, if the Democrats manage to steal the congressional elections and flip both the house and senate, those subpoenas won’t be coming. Of course, in those circumstances, those agents may want to start looking over their shoulders. Since they know enough to hang Hillary Clinton, it’s likely that all these agents will suddenly die of accidents, suicide and natural causes.
You know, such as accidentally getting hit by a train, or committing suicide by shooting themselves three times in the back of the head, you know, the typical causes of death of anyone who poses a threat to the Clinton Crime Cartel. Since the whole thing has started to blow up in the face of Comey, he’s starting to get a little bit paranoid.
Comey in a telephone conference with special agents in charge around the country, within the last few days, warned that if they received a phone inquiry about the investigation, or any inquiry about the investigation, they were ordered to report the call and the caller to the director’s office.”
DiGenova describes such control tactics as something out of J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. Yet, it’s Hoover’s successor, L. Patrick Gray, who offers the clearest parallel to Comey. As diGenova puts it, “There is a Deep Throat.”
Interesting choice of names there. The last “Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who was with the FBI and was instrumental in sinking Richard Nixon. It makes me wonder just how many members of Congress are getting anonymous calls about Comey and Lynch?
Agents involved in the case now fear congressional subpoenas thanks to Comey’s head-scratching handling of the case.
Rock? Meet Hard Place.
DiGenova met this week with figures requesting attorneys for FBI officials. The former independent counsel and U.S. attorney affirms his willingness to serve in that capacity and to represent potential whistleblowers.
Considering how the Obama Regime handles whistleblowers, usually with criminal indictments, I can see why they’re so worried. I have a sneaking suspicion that an awful lot of federal agents are going to be voting for Donald Trump next month. I have a feeling that if Trump wins, not only will Cankles be looking at criminal charges, but a certain Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be looking for a new job and a defense attorney.
