    I'm starting to smell socks. They've been very quiet lately but no honest person could be this stubbornly wrong and unashamed to show it

    Comey sent the letter to Congress (knowing it would of course be leaked) opening the investigation because he was effectively being blackmailed (by the NY FBI field office and Ghouliani). Had he not done so the right wing noise machine would have savaged him as they are doing every person they see as opposition to Trump

    There isn't a single thing I could post that will convince you so why ask. You'll attack the source and ignore the substance. Typical lefty deflection.

    The information I posted about Hillary has been testified to under oath by FBI agents, FBI directors, and discovered through Congressional investigations.

    But then you already knew about Hillary's crimes ... you just don't care.

    "no honest person could be this stubbornly wrong and unashamed to show it"

    Then you don't know Comey ... this describes him perfectly ... nice job on that btw.

    You could quote from the report with links...but well...since what you're claiming is either not there at all or totally mischaracterized...you won't

    There is but one reasonable explanation for Comey's actions ... he had to do something and it had to be in Hillary's favor.

    The only thing he could do was rush through a sham investigation before the election and then proclaim she's clear.

    But somehow that doesn't show a clear political bias in the decision making and policies of the FBI or DOJ overseeing them.

    Strange how that works only for leftys.

    There absolutely is. Comey had to drop the investigation because there was nothing there. But "trashing" (the IG's words from the report) Clinton was well outside of the norm and was done because of the threat of leaks from partisan BIASED NY Field agents ...in cahoots with Ghouliani...

    Comey was trying to "do the right thing" AND protect his legacy.

    In the end he utterly failed...

    Where have you been the last 3 years? You're really asking for links of transcripts and video of Congressional hearings and links to public documents?

    In other words you want me to do your homework ... not gonna happen ... I don't play the link game but I'll throw you a bone.

    This is the first one I found ... took all of 10 seconds ... this is from September, 2016 ... happy now?

    Its all a few mouse clicks away and has been for some time ... why haven't you bothered to watch Comey's Congressional testimony or read the IG and FBI reports finding that Ms. Clinton did in fact destroy electronic devices that were under subpoena.

    Pardon me for being Captain Obvious, but there certainly was classified information within the emails on Huma's laptop and they came from or were sent through Hillary's server. Proving she acted with gross negligence when handling classified information.

    Comey had just whitewashed her email investigation and then Huma's email pops up ... you can see why he was concerned and why he acted the way he did.

    This is all common knowledge ... anyone following this story already knows this stuff. Do I need to produce a two year old link?

    I'm asking for you to find anything in the IG report that supports your idiocy. You won't because it doesn't

    I want you to do YOUR homework. " I don't play the link game" is just your way of saying you can't support your bullshit

    In testimony today, while answering a question posed by Senator Coons, Horowitz stated that there was extreme political bias, but he didn't find evidence that it was the determining factor in establishing the outcome of the Clinton investigation because he attributed it to Comey's improper disclosure of not referring the Clinton, "matter," as a criminal referral to the DOJ.

    That question lead Ted Cruz to ask about whether Comey had told the truth about the outcome, as McCabe's lawyers claim to have e-mails that prove that Comey lied under oath about telling McCabe that he could leak certain information about the Clinton, "matter," to the media.

    Strzok may very well spill the beans tomorrow in front of the House committee. I'd be willing to bet that he would rat on Comey before he would rat on McCabe. We shall see...

    Here it is. Find the relevant section.

    At 50.21 Ghouliani gets exposed as having advance warning about the "reopening"...

    Sorry, but the NY FBI office called Comey because they wanted a copy of the search warrant that he was supposed to have executed because they knew that what they had in NY wouldn't work for both jurisdictions.

    Comey had to cover his trail, because he hadn't notified Congress when he should have. He simply tried to play both ends and in the end, never adequately covered his own lame excuse.

    Hillary using bleachbit to destroy subpoenaed evidence ... this took me all of 10 minutes to find ... pp 38 of the OIG Report ... this good enough for you?

    As described in Chapter Five, Mills, Samuelson, and Combetta told the FBI
    that in late 2014 or early 2015 Mills and Samuelson asked Combetta to remove
    former Secretary Clinton’s emails from their laptops. Combetta then used the
    commercial software “BleachBit” to permanently remove or wipe former Secretary
    Clinton’s emails from Mills’s and Samuelson’s laptops
    .

    Will you give this up now ... or will you become a glittering example of why I don't play the link game with leftys and don't do their homework.

    You could have easily found all of this stuff yourself ... the fact that you haven't even bothered looking into this for yourself speaks volumes.

    Bullshit. There is no such requirement.

    Is that how it works in Moscow?

    Actually the report could not say that it could not document a link between bias and actions.
    That does not say bias wasn't there- just that hey could not nail down how it was used. Bias is a mental state and the actions result from judgments and conclusions, which while obvious, are difficult to establish as a hard link legally.

    When some jackass puts up a post that starts out with slandering the target of the post, do we expect the post will be objective?
    Would an investigator who repeatedly expresses intent to block Trump going to be objective?

    IF you could think logically, you would know that the bias is underlying motive behind all decisions of action. Just look at yourself.
    You demonstrate bias, and you are totally unable to see anything without your bias controlling everything you say.

    You are free to believe that............just as long as you realize it is in diametric opposition to the finding of the IG.

    Yes ... deep blue NY, "Trumpland"? Seriously? Here's what AG Horowitz said about Comey during his testimony yesterday. https://www.mediaite.com/online/ig-...on-probe-was-concerned-for-his-survivability/ Comey's "higher loyalty" is to himself. An arrogant, deceitful fraud who lusts as much for power, as he does his former salary.
