These are the unassailable professionals leading the IC that we were told about?
Comey’s interviews are giving a much better insight into just how unprofessional and political these guys really were.
Comey admitted in his interview:
1) That he relied on polls to make his decision on whether to announce a reopening of the HRC email investigation - he said that he felt that after looking at her poll numbers, he thought that she could withstand the hit. So the apolitical FBI was making critical decisions based on political calculations. It also clearly implies that if HRC’s poll numbers were bad, then he wouldn’t have made the announcement.
2). That he leaked classified information
3). That McCabe lied, and that he himself has lied - he actually openly admitted this.
4). That when he briefed president on the Dossier, he never revealed that it was obtained from political opposition research and that he didn’t do so because “it didn’t fit in with my Goals”.
We also know that he also never told the FISA judge about this when obtaining a warrant to spy on the campaign of the present admins political opponent.
Keep talking Jim. The book tour has 28 days left,
Bombing and the Whitey Bulger fiasco. Right Corey?
He got 4 innocent people sent to jail and cost the taxpayers M$100. He also screwed up the Anthrax investigation, among other things. But Comey deserves a lot of criticism too. Both of them are despicable.
"Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other “top echelon” informants who committed numerous murders and crimes. When the truth was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders committed by (the FBI operated) Bulger gang."
"Current media applause omits the fact that former FBI Director Mueller was the top official in charge of the Anthrax terror fiasco investigation into the 2001 murders, which targeted an innocent man (Steven Hatfill) whose lawsuit eventually forced the FBI to pay $5 million in compensation. Mueller’s FBI was also severely criticized by Department of Justice Inspector Generals finding the FBI overstepped the law improperly serving hundreds of thousands of “national security letters” to obtain private (and irrelevant) metadata on citizens, and for infiltrating nonviolent anti-war groups under the guise of investigating “terrorism.”
"For his part, Deputy Attorney General James Comey, too, went along with Bush and Cheney after 9/11 and signed off on a number of highly illegal programs including warrantless surveillance of Americans and torture of captives. Comey also defended the Bush administration’s three year-long detention of an American citizen without charges or right to counsel."
"Neither Comey nor Mueller—who are reported to be “joined at the hip”—deserve their current lionization among politicians and mainstream media. Instead of Jimmy Stewart-like ‘G-men’ with reputations for principled integrity, the two close confidants and collaborators merely proved themselves, along with former CIA Director George “Slam Dunk” Tenet, reliably politicized sycophants, enmeshing themselves in a series of wrongful abuses of power along with official incompetence."
