James Comey’s memo to FBI employees
To all:
Because it is generating a lot of interest, I thought I should update you on where we
are with our commitment to transparency in the wake of the Clinton email
investigation. As I promised in July, we have leaned very far forward in providing
transparency, on a couple fronts:
Congress. In order to afford Congress ample opportunity to discharge its oversight
responsibilities, we took the unusual step of sending relevant 302s, our case
summary Letter Head Memorandum, and the classified emails we recovered during
the investigation to the House and Senate security offices. That permitted them to
be reviewed by a number of committees with jurisdiction, instead of requiring that
committee staff come to FBI headquarters to review the documents as we would
normally require. There have been a variety of complaints because we redacted
personal information and, at the request of the originating agency, restricted certain
classified portions only to the Intelligence Committees, but our production has been
unprecedented. I will be up on Capitol Hill the last week of September to testify
before the House Judiciary Committee. This is our regular annual oversight hearing,
so I'm hoping to cover many aspects of the Bureau's great work. Of course, I'm
guessing folks will want to ask about the email investigation. Through public
statements, testimony (4 hours and 40 minutes without stopping, but who's
counting), and prompt document productions, we have offered unprecedented
transparency of the high-quality work your colleagues did in the case. Now I would
like to talk about our other work, of which we have plenty.
FOIA. As you might imagine, we have also received many requests for information
under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and lots of your colleagues have been
working very hard to process materials under the statute, get the necessary sign-off
from other agencies with interests in the information, and get it out to the public.
We finished that process Friday morning with respect to the 302 of Secretary
Clinton's interview and our Letter Head Memorandum summarizing the
investigation. I almost ordered the material held until Tuesday because I knew we
would take all kinds of grief for releasing it before a holiday weekend, but my
judgment was that we had promised transparency and it would be game-playing to
withhold it from the public just to avoid folks saying stuff about us. We don't play
games. So we released it Friday. We are continuing to process more material and
will release batches of documents as they are ready, no matter the day of the week.
You may be sick of this, but let me leave you with a few words about how I have
been describing the email investigation in private to our former employees as I meet
them around the country. I explain to them that there are two aspects to this: (1)
our judgment about the facts and prosecutive merit; and (2) how we decided to talk
about that judgment. I tell them that the difficult decision was actually the second
part, not the first. At the end of the day, the case itself was not a cliff-hanger; despite
all the chest-beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn't a
prosecutable case. The hard part was whether to offer unprecedented transparency
about our thinking. I explain to our alumni that I struggled with that part, but
decided the best way to protect the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the American
people's sense of justice was to announce it in the way we did - with extraordinary
transparency and without any kind of coordination.
I explain to our alums that I'm okay if folks have a different view of the investigation
(although I struggle to see how they actually could, especially when they didn't do
the investigation), or about the wisdom of announcing it as we did (although even
with hindsight I think that was the best course), but I have no patience for
suggestions that we conducted ourselves as anything but what we are - honest,
competent, and independent. Those suggesting that we are "political" or part of
some "fix" either don't know us, or they are full of baloney (and maybe some of
both).
I will try not to bother you with this any longer.

Said Republic has been circling the drain since the Gulf of Tonkin and the insanity which followed.
I had a glimmer of optimism when the Berlin Wall came down. Didn't last long.

Hillary (If she is Obama's 3rd term)supports the leaders of Iran, where dissenters are shot, women suffer genital mutilation, homosexuals are prosecuted under Sharia Law, and terrorists are funded.
Vote for Hillary and you're voting for the corrupt despots who are trying to develop nucs on missiles.
Do I really believe that? No more than I believe the similar statement on Trump.

Sometimes this election seems like the beginning of the end, but then again the next 4 years should be a bonanza for comedians.

Who is going to play Hillary in the bio pic? My money is on Christopher Walken. If he fattens up his ankles, he's a shoe-in.

FBI director: Clinton email case ‘was not a cliff-hanger’
In a memo to employees about the decision not to charge Hillary Clinton, James B. Comey said that “despite all the chest beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn’t a prosecutable case.”
So, the Repug attack dogs are left with two options:
Repubs are not politically correct, and tell the truth, and Hillary did not commit a crime; or
Repubs are chronic unbelievable liars, and will tell any lie to get their way, and Hillary did commit a crime. Trust them.

Then how about Gary Busey as Trump. Of course needs to fatten up all over, plus another traumatic brain injury.

"So trump wants to increase the size of the military, and yet he calls Hillary a hawk."...
Let's see...
America has a money issue...
I have a great idea!!!...
Let's spend BILLIONS and BILLIONS on WAR...
That'll help EVERYONE...
There IS a Repug logic, here. The planes and tanks don't burn money, the money goes, ultimately, to paying people. Defense jobs tend to be good paying jobs.
Of course, that is nothing to the money that defense CONTRACTORS make! And you can't help but wonder if Trump is not thinking about his ability to steer contracts to favored (his) companies......

To say she had no influence is to just be absurd. It was her job.
No one but YOU are saying that. You said "all on her own", but that was not the case. You now admit that you knew that.
Troll or Liar?
