Comey counted chickens before they came home to roost

The late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover may have dressed up like Hillary Clinton, but he never would have exonerated her before he had the chance to interview the former secretary of state. 

But J. Brien Comey Jr. did--he exonerated Hillary Clinton over the email investigation in which she admitted publicly to using a private email server before he even interviewed her.

Equal justice in the eyes of the law for all?

Hardly.

Comey began drafting a statement exonerating Clinton in the investigation before interviewing key witnesses besides Hillary Clinton herself, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and SC Sen. Lindsey Graham. They wrote in a letter to the FBI this week that "The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy."

Ironically, the FBI denied a FOIA request made by a New York attorney, Ty Clevenger on the grounds that the public is no longer interested in the story.

Grassley and Graham explained that they learned of Comey's draft exoneration statement after they reviewed transcripts of interviews with top Comey aides.

"According to the unredacted portions of the transcripts, it appears that in April or early May of 2016, Mr. Comey had already decided he would issue a statement exonerating Secretary Clinton," the senators said.

"That was long before FBI agents finished their work," they added. "Mr. Comey even circulated an early draft statement to select members of senior FBI leadership. The outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while FBI agents are still hard at work trying to gather the facts."

Unless Comey was directed by someone higher up in the food chain.

In a news release Thursday, Grassley and Graham said Comey began drafting a statement in April or May of 2016, which was before the FBI interviewed 17 key witnesses including sweet Hillary Clinton [and her village] along with other top aides.

The statement came before the FBI entered into an immunity agreement with Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, both top aides to Clinton.

But right now, the left wing media is more upset over Melania Trump wearing stiletto heels onto Air Force One on the way to the Texas devastation, than they are with real news.
