It Gets Worse: Comey Defied Attorney General - His Boss...

[Tom Horn]

Loretta can't fire him, that's the beauty of it

Only the president can fire him....the Senate can also impeach him but in either case gross malfeasance or an actural crime has to be the reason. Clinton is the only president to fire an FBI Director that I can recall.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

So why doesn't Loretta fire him? Why doesn't she tell Hillary what Hillary wants to know?

Obama can...but that would be suicide, Obungles is stupid but not that stupid and there is no way the Senate is going to touch him

Ruh ro....how does one say perjury?

Huma Abedin Swore Under Oath She Gave Up ‘All the Devices’ With State Dept. Emails

They voided all of these yesterday.

Defying your boss usually doesn't turn out well...

Really?
So you think Lynch will fire him?

FBI Director James Comey Defied Attorney General With Email Announcement

“It is shocking and disheartening that someone I admired would do this,” a former federal prosecutor said.

WASHINGTON ― FBI Director James Comey’s unprecedented decision to insert the bureau into the presidential campaign less than two weeks from Election Day has caused a rift in federal law enforcement.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch wanted Comey to follow DOJ protocols and traditions and not reveal the discovery of new emails that might be pertinent to Clinton’s case, The Huffington Post was able to confirm on Saturday, following the account of a Justice Department official in The Washington Post.

The U.S. Attorneys’ manual emphasizes the importance of “limited confidentiality” in “ongoing operations and investigations” to safeguard “the rights of victims and litigants as well as the protection of the life and safety of other parties and witnesses.”

Julie Werner-Simon, a former federal prosecutor who retired from DOJ in August 2015 after 29 years of service, argues that Comey’s decision to make public an incremental development in the investigation with little clear significance is a breach of the protocol outlined in the manual.

“It is shocking and disheartening that someone I admired would do this,” she said. “If I did what he did, I would be censured.”

“My view is that there should be an investigation” into Comey’s behavior, she added. “Under the rules that he violated, that investigation should be secret. That’s the point.”

There are exceptions to this protocol under unusual circumstances, but Comey would have had to consult with a senior official at DOJ before doing so, according to Werner-Simon, who instructed federal prosecutors about these protocols as senior litigation counsel at DOJ, the last position she held there.

“Who gave him permission? If he is going to use unusual circumstances under the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual, who did he discuss it with?” Werner-Simon said.

Nancy Gertner, a retired federal judge appointed by President Bill Clinton who now lectures at Harvard Law School, had a similarly stinging indictment of Comey’s actions.

“I cannot think of any reason except Comey’s own personal interests to make public the possibility that there may be emails whose content he does not know that may be relevant to the investigation,” Gertner said.

Nope, has to be Obungles or the Senate. The bitch tried to stop Comey and evidently he told her to pound sand. Maybe he grew a set

I believe the leak that the guy he put on the email investigation has a wife who took over $700K campaign contribution from a FOB (Terry McAuliffe) was the last straw for Comey. If this torpedoes her campaign he can say only a fool gets stung by the same bee twice.

IDK why he decided to do it...but it sure threw a wrench in the works

Yeah, you said that in your OP. Then you posted this 11 minutes later. What's the matter? No one reply to your original fast enough for your tastes so you had to bump it?

Funny how Comey was the darling of the left back in July, but when new, potential evidence in an unclosed case turns up during a separate investigation you can't wait to burn him at the stake. And why? Because in the course of doing his job he makes your precious candidate look worse than she has. Darn.

As for his breaching standard DOJ protocol, just consider it and act of transparency from "the most transparent administration ever" and be proud! You can still wallow in the knowledge that Lynch still refuses to tell anyone what she and Bill spoke of on that plane and the fact that she refuses to answer questions from Congress about the ransom paid to Iran! With all that, why pile on Comey?

A sign of how desparate the Republicans are.

This is why Obama should have cleaned house in 2008. Get you a liberal FBI director and generals. Don't try to work with republicans

So you're saying a liberal FBI director wouldn't follow law? LMAO

A liberal FBI director would bring up some bullshit on whoever you guys decide to run in 4 years.

That's the thing about the FBI being used as a political tool. Works both ways. Remember you guys cried that the IRS was picking on tea party PACs? Apparently you approve when it's your side being shade.

Remember Alberto Gonzales? You dont recall? Love bringing him up.

It goes both ways...unfortunately for you it got you loons 10 days before the election

You got nothing. Not even a blip on the radar. In fact it might backfire

Yep, it will probably backfire on Crooked Comey and the NaziCons. Lord help all those evil bastards when Hillary becomes president. She takes names and kicks ass!

She'll have dropped out by next Friday....Kaine will be your candidate and Trump will DEMOLISH his ass.

Fuck Loretta lynch....she's a fascist pig and traitor to America....

 

[leftwinger]

Well, I don't want this to put me over 5000 posts (but it might)? I will try to drop out.

It seems they are looking for a scapegoat. First choice was Mr. Weiner (not good enough), it is going to have to be Huma Weiner it so it seems. Oh they will SPIN mightily the next few days "HRC had no idea", "Huma swore to me she did not keep copies", "Anthony sabotaged Huma".......on and on. This has nothing to do with HRC!

Chief yoga-pants will line up at that community Tepee and punch in Hillary with red pride and then have a bottle of Annie Green Spring Apple Wine to celebrate around the campfire ............. no matter what. Even if HRC pulls out.....Chief will vote her in.

What you saying is that Comey should be just as corrupt as Lynch and stuff an investigation.

Corrupt? In what way? Provide "credible" proof. Just making shit up doesn't count. Opinions ain't facts.

She conspired with Comey to obstruct the prosecution of Clinton. She met with Slick Willy on the tarmac to discuss her terms for letting Clinton off.

[bripat9643]

Get your resume ready, Comey.

He should resign immediately.

His actions were reckless and irresponsible.

Imagine, defying the Democrat political elite. It just isn't allowed

They were frothing all over themselves after comeys first assessment. Now, theyre ready to burn him salem witch style.

The part on it's "how he handled it" that's particularly hysterical. None of them seem to be able how specifically investigating a Democrat is to be handled ...

What they mean is that he actually attempted to follow the law. That's what they object to.

Comey's first "assessment" sucked. He should have left out all the partisan subjective shit. He basically said "she's an idiot - not a criminal"...

Wrong. What he actually said is that Hillary is a criminal, but I'm not going to prosecute her because my ass will be toast if I do.

Here's a novel thought, if Clinton and company hadn't decided to break the law this wouldn't be happening. She created her own dilemma
