How many times they gotta specify "by the book" though??

I mean, is there any other way??

You do realize that portion of the email has already been known for over 2 years right?

How do you not know this?

So basically Rice and Obama sent this to set up Comey as the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter if this ever became public. They can say Comey was out on his own after this meeting on the 5th.

I do believe it was a CYA email to herself. As to the unredacted portion, i don’t see it as damaging to the Feds, but wouldn’t expect it to be in a cya memo.

Her sending the exoneration letter to herself goes to intent. She knew what they did was criminal....CRIMINAL, her guilty conscious just couldn’t help but write that.....She knew!

Although I think he is guilty as hell, this will be used to give ODumbass a pass.

Comey went off the reservation even after ODumbass told him by the book...

If you have to say "by the book" then its definitely done NOT by the book
"by the book" is spook code speak for "whatever it takes/anything goes", legal or otherwise. The only surprise is that they didn't include a asterisk next to the "by the book"

and then notate a * "wink wink" at the bottom of the page.

That’s a “CYA” for Obama

This guy gets it!

Why else would Rice write an email and quote that or mention it?

What weren’t they doing “by the book”?

Why does Obama have to stress “by the book”?

Devil's advocate time:

Even if Rice's email is 100% accurate then it means HRC, the DNC and their phony dossier disrupted the peaceful transfer or power as it raised questions about members of the incoming administration to the point where the outgoing administration was concerned about sharing national security interests with the very people who needed to know it.

And all the while there were members of the FBI (some in the highest levels of management) who knew the Russian Collusion narrative was a hoax.

So even in the best possible light this treads damned close to treason (levying a war against the US via a soft coup attempt).

The obvious answer is they don’t always go “ by the book”.

Remember Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men?

The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.


This is a weird paragraph (previously released).
Why - after Obama left office - should Comey keep him informed?

No need to answer...

DEVELOPING: Declassified Rice email documenting WH meeting 1/5/2017 obtained @CBSNews



Curious she sent this e-mail almost exactly 15 minutes after Trump was sworn in. Maybe they were holding out hope that he wouldn't get sworn in and she waiting until the last possible moment. Also strange that she was worried about sending an e-mail when everyone from the Obama administration was on capitol hill for the inauguration.
