Former FBI Director James Comey’s controversial decision to detail the FBI’s findings in the Hillary Clinton email case without Justice Department input was influenced by a dubious Russian document that the FBI now considers to be bad intelligence, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The secret document, which purported to be a piece of Russian intelligence, claimed that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch had privately assured someone in the Clinton campaign that the investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information would go nowhere.
This is all over the news. WaPo reported it yesterday...It is being aggregated by many other news sites, including the Hill and Fox News.

For days now we have been hearing hints there was a smoking gun e-mail regarding AG Lynch putting the fix in for HRC not to get in any legal trouble.

ETA: UPDATED-

You won't believe this part of it...It is all convoluted; because it is a fake news story *and or* lies.

quote:

The document, obtained by the FBI, was a piece of purported analysis by Russian intelligence, the people said. It referred to an email supposedly written by the then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), and sent to Leonard Benardo, an official with the Open Society Foundations, an organization founded by billionaire George Soros and dedicated to promoting democracy.
quote:

But according to the FBI’s own assessment, the document was bad intelligence — and according to people familiar with its contents, possibly even a fake sent to confuse the bureau. The Americans mentioned in the Russian document insist they do not know each other, do not speak to each other and never had any conversations remotely like the ones described in the document. Investigators have long doubted its veracity, and by August the FBI had concluded it was unreliable.

Current and former officials have said that Comey relied on the document in making his July decision to announce on his own, without Justice Department involvement, that the investigation was over. That public announcement — in which he criticized Clinton and made extensive comments about the evidence — set in motion a chain of other FBI moves that Democrats now say helped Trump win the presidential election.

WaPo PAYWALL link

This has to be fake or they are very sloppy and dumb in a cover up of a cover up.

The FBI (Comey) never asked AG Lynch about it *AND* Comey decided it was unreliable and a fake from the Russians

Because get this....

DWS told him she never talked to this guy before much less in emails and doesn't know him...
you really can't make this up...I hope 4chan and reddit works on proving DWS knows this guy and the story is proven to be fake.

This is huge. Comey was under the impression the Clinton Campaign had put pressure on the DOJ to sweep this under the rug and immediately he announced that no charges would be pending. Then when it turns out the deal had not been made he starts investigating again?

Does not look good for Comey.

Did Russia fake Loretta Lynch meeting with Bill Clinton in a private plane? Because I saw it on live TV. I guess those were Russian actors playing Loretta and Bill?

This is all they leaked about muh Russians and Trump...
quote:

Top Russian intelligence and political officials discussed ways to gain influence over Trump through his advisers during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to The New York Times.

Conversations between the officials targeted Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman for Trump at the time and Michael Flynn, the retired general who was advising Trump during the campaign. American spies collected the information last summer, according to the Times.

Both Manafort and Flynn, who was later hired and fired as Trump’s national security adviser, had indirect links to Russian officials. The officials allegedly felt confident that each man could be used to help shape Trump’s opinions on Russia.

Some of the Russian officials involved in the communications bragged about how well they knew Flynn while others discussed utilizing ties between Viktor F. Yanukovych, the deposed Ukranian president living in exile in Russia, and Manafort, according to the report.

Both Manafort and Yanukovych previously worked closely together.

his is unbelievable, now they are saying the Russians created the document and it wasn't real and it is why Comey did what he did in July. WaPo started this so we don't know---yet again if it is real or planted by the IC as a pre-cover for Comey.




For me it covers everybody but Comey. I understand your points, but it seems like it suggests Comey participated in the coverup, by stopping an investigation because of a deal/promise to protect Hillary. Maybe I am reading and understanding this incorrectly.

That's the way I interpreted it. Looks bad for Comey while covering everybody else.

I only wonder how long it took them to create this? This was slowly leaked out about an 'email' that was bragged about that Lynch was going to make sure HRC's mess was covered-up.

Now they put the Russian handprint on it in the intel world. So Comey has a perfect cover story. No one will believe this...

I see it as a WEAK cover story for the cover up of the fix being in for HRC via AG Lynch and Obama and why Comey made the July statement.

But you are correct: if Comey saw an email regarding obstruction regarding AG Flynn and Obama. Comey would have used the words obstruction of justice, abuse of power and cover up regarding POTUS and AG Lynch. He didn't.

So yeah, Comey looks real bad but the intel committees won't call him on it. It sure seems that the fix is in to frame and sabotoge Trump with improper protocols... Because Comey is butthurt his reputation is tarnished and is a hostile witness now because he is a disgruntled employee. The DC committees look to be bowing to Comey's every word as gospel.

No fake document in July prohibited the FBI from convening a grand jury earlier - no subpoenas - or not seizing evidence, or granting immunity in bushel baskets, or all the rest leading up to Comey's BS pronouncement that no charges were warranted.

Clinton - apparently had NO frickING IDEA that letting her personal attorneys have access to her State Department e-mails would be -- the greatest security breach in the history of the State Department.

Clinton Idiocy on Parade

1) 3/10/15 Clinton admits at a NEWS CONFERENCE that that her personal attorneys viewed her state department e-mails:

"We went through a thorough process to identify all of my work- related emails and deliver them to the State Department.”

LINK /

2) Under oath adamantly maintains that her attorneys viewed her emails:

“CLINTON: I know that because there was an exhaustive search done under the supervision of my attorneys, and that is exactly the outcome. We turned over every work related email, in fact, as somebody referred to earlier, we turned over too many.”

LINK /

3) Director Comey confirms the attorneys were not authorized to view them:

“Did Hillary Clinton give non-cleared people access to classified information?” Chaffetz asked.

“Yes,” Comey replied.

Though the FBI director could not say exactly how many “non-cleared” people had access to that classified information, Comey did estimate it was between two and 10."

Both Chaffetz and Jordan questioned whether Clinton’s lawyers had security clearances and were exposed to that classified information when they were sorting through the emails that would later be turned over to the State Department.

Though Comey said Clinton’s lawyers were among those who were “non-cleared” and accessed classified information, Fallon, spokesman for Clinton, tweeted that the lawyers who sifted through the former secretary of state’s emails had Top Secret-level clearance."

LINK /


This is all a clear violation of the Espionage Act. USC 18 S. 789(f)

(f)
Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense... (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."


Clinton "Delivered" her SD e-mails to people not authorized to see them. David Kendall and her other minions violated (g)

(g) If two or more persons conspire to violate any of the foregoing provisions of this section, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy shall be subject to the punishment provided for the offense which is the object of such conspiracy.

Yeah there is a hell of a lot of laws HRC broke-involving national security; but they need to cover for Comey's July announcement of an indictment but not an indictment-- to soothe the butthurt.

This new load of BS that the Russians created emails that Obama/Lynch said the fix was in for HRC- is a joke. Comey is a POS liar period. He never uttered the words obstruction or abuse of power. Which he would have if his July announcement was because he saw the email and then oooopsie later saw Russians created it...

This story makes no sense. Either Comey is the most corrupt and/or stupid person alive, or WaPo just jumped the fake news shark.

So let me get this straight....

To cover up the claim that Lynch assured DWS that the investigation into Hillary would result in no charges, Comey publicly became the grand jury, judge, jury, and district attorney, and then did exactly what Lynch assured DWS would happen, nothing.

And this is now th fault of the Russians?

This is retarded and makes no sense.

Comey gets bamboozled by fake intel and then does exactly what the intel suggests Lynch was going to do?

So they are suggesting Comey sacrificed himself for Loretta Lynch? And he only did it because he was duped by fake intel from the Russians?

That's the dumbest shite I've ever heard. Was he in love with Lynch or something? Are they soulmates? Why in the blue frick would he throw away his career to save hers?

And oh yeah, she has no credibility. Between the tarmac meeting with Bill and her signature on the EO 12333 changes, she's as dirty as they come. So not buying this nonsense. They're all in on it.

This smells like bullshite to allow Comey to fully come back into the Democrat fold as another victim of muh Russians and to also kill the Lynch-Clinton corruption issue.

I don't believe any of this at all.
