Sources: Comey acted on Russian intelligence he knew was fake (attorney, weapons)

[Noc]

Then-FBI Director James Comey knew that a critical piece of information relating to the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email was fake -- created by Russian intelligence -- but he feared that if it became public it would undermine the probe and the Justice Department itself, according to multiple officials with knowledge of the process.

It just gets more and more confusing.

Yes indeed. A revelation almost every day. The intelligence community is at war with Trump and are leaking like a sieve. This is unprecedented and I believe they are so disturbed with currently undisclosed info that the president in undermining our democracy that they are purposely trying to bring him down.

This piece of information actually helped Trump.

There is good reason both Democrats and Republicans were concerned about Comey's ability to do his job.

We really need answers.

I find this part interesting.

From the article

The Russian intelligence at issue purported to show that then-Attorney General Lynch had been compromised in the Clinton investigation.


I have my doubts that these emails were fake, I completely believe Lynch made this go away for Hillary, and she made Comey the fall guy.

This is not Russian propaganda, Lynch was without question compromised, at the very least by meeting with Bill on his plane.

If the allegations are true, what Comey did was allow his actions to be dictated by what he believed to be questionable, if not totally false, information from the Russians. The idea he felt he had to act upon Russian accusations tells me he may have been more worried about appearances than anything else.

All he needed to do was say there was information coming out of Russia and that until proven otherwise he was going to act as if it is false. I don't buy Comey felt he had to act upon it.

First he fails to tell the public BOTH candidates were under investigation. Now this.

Strike two.

Sooo if Comey was mislead, misdirected or simply confused by a Russian memo that it caused him to come out to reopen the case against Hillary just before the election and possibly tipping some voters who were on the ledge toward Trump are we talking that this could be the Collusion between Trump and the Russians???


Fake Facts?
Fake News?

Shrug. Again, Russia has gotten nasty with this, and we should start hitting back, either with conventional weapons, or unconventional ones. We need to make them regret this.
