WOW!

LINK

quote:

A government watchdog group revealed Thursday that former FBI Director James Comey was advised by senior FBI officials to seek Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s advice prior to testifying before “any congressional committee” about President Donald Trump’s campaign and its alleged collusion with Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election, according to new emails obtained by Judicial Watch reveal.


quote:

Comey was also advised to seek Mueller’s counsel on the circumstances surrounding his firing by Trump before providing testimony to Congress, the Department of Justice emails obtained by Judicial Watch reveal. It is the first time evidence reveals there was coordination between the Special Counsel and Comey in the long drawn out controversial Mueller investigation.


quote:

“The emails, along with news reports, also reveal that Comey met with Mueller prior to his June 8, 2017, testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee…”

What's the timeline for Comey to come out as a transgender/sexual kinda nutjob? I'm going with 2 months; it'd make him untouchable.

He's a potential witness. So yeah.

I recall It was even questioned/predicted at the time that Comey might have to consult Meuller before the hearing since there's an active investigation.

Unless theres some nefarious link I'm missing, this is a nothingburger.

Have you ever seen people stack the deck so much and then lose this much?

None of this makes any sense. RR should be recused. Why is it that honest Bob and his merry team of democrat hyperpartisans are setting themselves up for spoilage of the entire SC? Are they so used to unfettered power?

Why does this matter exactly? Not flaming, just curious.

This isn't a "boom" just some of you are dumb.

OF COURSE Mueller wouldn't want certain things made public about his investigation.

This is ONE of the MANY reasons I quickly lost interest in taking the job. I would have wanted to have been the ONLY person(s) investigating this.

The real issue is this: Was there a conspiracy via DOJ/Intel Community Operatives to 'Fix' the HRC Investigation...and frame/prosecute/effect the election of DJT? Is there Evidence which verifies said Conspiracy?

Let the FACTS decide. Equal Justice/Rule of Law...or...else!

This is bad when the investigators are investigating themselves.
quote:

JUDICIAL WATCH TIMELINE PER PRESS RELEASE:

May 17, 2017 — Comey was notified to appear before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the House Oversight and Government AffairsCommittee.
On May 18 and 19, 2017, an email chain with the subject line “Future testimony” shows former Comey FBI Chief of Staff James Rybicki, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Assistant Director Gregory Brower, Comey and others discussing Comey’s upcoming testimony
May 18 at 6:30 pm, Comey sent an email to Rybicki confirming that he had accepted the invitation to testify before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
In that same email chain Comey noted that he declined the invitations from the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee.
In the email to Rybicki, Comey says, “Last, would you please tell OGC [Office of the General Counsel] that I would like to be able to review any documents authored by me or on which I am copied that will be produced to SSCI in connection with my testimony and would like the opportunity for that review before I testify?”

It doesn't. Comey was involved in the original investigation, and is likely a witness, so Mueller wanted to make sure he didn't reveal anything that may compromise his ongoing investigation. It's pretty standard and was expected to happen before it did.

The responses in this thread are why it's been reported now as some big bombshell.

The only caveat being if anyone involved decided that lying to Congress was the way to go.

But as far as an investigator not wanting certain facts about a case known prior to them bringing forward criminal charges goes, that's SOP.

Doesn't it make sense that these two would talk with each other about the investigation?

Either you're incredibly naive or just spinning. It's not consulting. It's strategizing.
