Was Bill Clinton Plea Bargaining With The Attorney General? Comey with his long list of wrong doings by Hillary Clinton is now gone. No wonder Democrats are in a tailspin.

Four years from now, the complaints will be similar, since they aim to undermine Trump's every move. Both Democrats and Republicans fear that Trump will succeed in draining the swamp, murky as it is.

President Donald Trump followed the recommendation of his deputy attorney general when he fired FBI boss James Comey.

What did Rod Rosenstein say?


Over the past year, however, the FBI's reputation and credibility have suffered substantial damage, and it has affected the entire Department of Justice. That is deeply troubling to many Department employees and veterans, legislators and citizens.

The director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General's authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution. It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement. At most, the Director should have said the FBI had completed its investigation and presented its findings to federal prosecutors. The Director now defends his decision by asserting that he believed attorney General Loretta Lynch had a conflict.

My perspective on these issues is shared by former Attorneys General and Deputy Attorneys General from different eras and both political parties.

Judge Laurence Silberman, who served as Deputy Attorneys General under President Ford, wrote that "it is not the bureau's responsibility to opine on whether a matter should be prosecuted." Silberman believes that the Director's "Performance was so inappropriate for an FBI director that [he] doubt[s] the bureau will ever completely recover."

Jamie Gorelick, Deputy Attorney General under President George W. Bush, to opine that the Director had "chosen personally to restrike the balance between transparency and fairness, department from the department's traditions." They concluded that the Director violated his obligation to "preserve, protect and defend" the traditions of the Department and the FBI.

I know for a fact that anyone who did what Hillary did would have lost their job and thrown in prison. But Hillary's above the law obviously. Alphabetical marking Hillary? If she didn't know better than to have secure emails on a private server she should not be president.

So what else did Comey know and keep hidden? Jeff Sessions can review the evidence now.

What do you think about that sentence in Trump's letter to Comey regarding Trump being appreciative that Comey confided in him about the investigation about him?

Quote:
While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.
What was that about? And that was Trump pulling the shenanigans.
