Looks like Gen. Flynn was framed.

What Comey did for HRC? How about his announcing the re-opening of the email investigation a week before the election?

And then quickly swept it under the rug. If his people had not tried to cover up the findings it would have been revealed about six weeks sooner and been properly vetted. Comey realized that they would have been blamed for a Trump loss and been in court forever if the FBI has squashed that information past the election date. So he Announced it. then claimed some type of quick resolution and cleared hillary in time for the election. Its another example of many on how Comey tried to influence our elections. More to come with Durham.

At the same time he felt it improper to announce that the Trump campaign was under investigation. He probably cost HRC the election. Her poll numbers went down after his announcement and never recovered.

He most assuredly cost her the election.

 

[fishtm2001]

The investigation of HRC's emails had been going on for months. What Comey announced was some new information which turned out to be nothing. But the damage had been done.

"The logic of the department’s position in the Flynn case is that the person who maliciously reported you to the FBI could not be prosecuted for making a false statement, because at the time the statements were made, those statements “were not ‘material’ to any viable counterintelligence investigation ... initiated by the FBI.” Or, to put it differently, the FBI can’t investigate whether someone is a Russian agent unless it already has evidence that the person is a Russian agent."

Sorry but the misinformation is out of control!

The Anthony Weiner investigation led to a laptop Huma Abedin had used. Comey "affectively" announced the missing emails had been found! Except no NEW emails were there, the emails on the laptop were all already known. This was just weeks before the election and is at the exact point where all there were major shifts in the polls

prosecution of Obama is too much to hope for . the president has broad powers to do as he sees fit. If Obama was behind it and he may have been there will be a tarnish on his presidency. If its revealed to be corrupt enough to result in sweeping reforms on presidential power then his legacy will be a future weakening of the presidency. That in itself would be significant.

Obama's legacy, other than Obamacare, was ineptitude ... don't see anything too damaging to that legacy.

Judge Sullivan will have access to them.
I don't understand why you expect Barr to release National Security documents ... He's not a POS like Schiff!

I have repeatedly opined that Comey's revelation about Hillary cost her the election.
It was the final nail in the coffin of her dubious character and actions.

the same investigation that has now been revealed to be contrived for political purposes? The same investigation that was proven false by Mueller? And you think that should have been used to throw an election?

she cost herself the election. Trump was doing 5 rallies a day , hillary was doing nothing

because despite Comeys spin americans can smell bull without any help from the FBI. She deleted 30000 emails after receiving subpoenas for them. that alone should have gotten her locked up. No in reality the FBI assisted cover up allowed her to be able to lose on election day rather then standing trial for her many crimes.

the FBI didnt hurt her they propped up a bad candidate.

Comey tried to straddle the fence at the last minute just in case Hillary lost and his dirty actions would be exposed.

Must be why he refused to disclose that trump was under investigation.

He had nothing to announce it was all fabricated nonsense as we found out.

Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation

Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House. It was at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming administration.

“President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote in an unusual email to herself about the meeting that was also attended by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director James Comey, and Vice President Joe Biden.

This stunning operation was not just a typical battle between political foes, nor merely an example of media bias against political enemies. Instead, this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance. In light of the newly declassified documents released in recent days, it is clear that understanding what happened in that January 5 Oval Office meeting is essential to understanding the full scope and breadth of the corrupt operation against the Trump administration. It is long past time for lawmakers in Congress who are actually interested in oversight of the federal government and the media to demand answers about what really happened in that meeting from every single participant, including Obama and Biden.

So you are saying you don’t think this operation was inept?
I thought it was typical of anything Obama tried ... cloaked in ineptitude.

With all the stuff coming out recently it appears, in your words, inept and then some. We will see....
