I’ve heard it said that “what goes around comes around.” Former FBI Director James Comey had lots of dirty things going around before the bar of justice came around and he was indicted for obstruction of justice and lying to Congress. Those charges represent just the tip of the filthy iceberg when it comes to Comey’s misconduct. The charges were brought now because of an impending statute of limitations deadline. More charges for Comey and others will likely be Comeying in the future.
James Comey was at the center of nothing less than a coup de etat, designed first to keep Donald Trump from being elected in 2016, and then to drive him from office once he was elected. Many others participated in this conspiracy, but Comey was the key figure.
Comey was the key because of his position. Director of the FBI. From that post, he had the ability to use the FBI and the Justice Department to affect the 2016 election and its aftermath. He did just that.
On July 28, 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed Obama on a plan from Clinton foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan (later Biden’s National Security Advisor), “to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.” James Comey, Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper attended the briefing.
Smear jobs by political rivals are commonplace. It’s no surprise that the Hillary campaign would stoop so low, as she had her own problems, stemming from her use of an unsecured server, which led to the hacking of thousands of emails containing classified material. Comey was supposed to be investigating that. What he, Il Duce Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and AG Loretta Lynch were not supposed to do was to take what they knew to be false information and use it to investigate, and then smear Donald Trump during and after an election. But that’s precisely what they did do.
Comey left a trail of emails. Here’s the one that proves he knew what he had been given was false. “Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date.” “An exchange (REDACTED) discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” Translation – “This is a political hit job, made up by Hillary.” The reference to “fusion cell” likely refers to the Strategic Intelligence Group, Fusion GPS, which Hillary hired to produce the false Steele Dossier which contained supposed embarrassing information about Trump. The Fusion GPS director has since testified that his organization had a mole in the Trump campaign who provided information. Steele himself has testified that the claims in the dossier were “unconfirmed.” Translation – He just made that shit up.
Comey used the false “Russia is interfering in the election” smear, and the completely false Steele Dossier in Operation Crossfire Hurricane, an investigation, not to investigate Hillary’s misconduct, but instead to spy on the Trump campaign, and later on President Trump. Comey signed three of four FISA Court warrant applications that authorized wiretapping of the Trump campaign and Administration. The warrants were based on the Steele Dossier. Comey vouched for former FBI informant Christopher Steele as a trusted source, although he had fired Steele for lying to the FBI. That conduct was itself a crime.
Before the 2016 election, Comey went on TV to tell the world that, although Hillary Clinton did improperly possess classified documents, “no prosecutor would bring that case,” thus disposing of her potential legal problems before election day. Meanwhile, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Il Duce, and even Joe Biden, continued to stir the pot on Russian interference.
When Trump was elected, Comey went to him, not as a subordinate, but as an investigator dealing with a criminal target. Comey wrote a report of his discussion with the President, which he shared with close friend, and Columbia law professor, Daniel Richman. More about him later. The Russia hoax investigation led to a special prosecutor, crippled Trump’s first term, and two impeachments followed.
Comey got away with lying to federal judges. The indictment charges him with lying to Congress in testimony he gave in 2020. At that hearing, Comey was questioned about whether he authorized others to leak information about the Russia investigation. Comey denied it. Problem is that the aforementioned Daniel Richman has testified to investigators that he did just that. He regularly took information Comey shared with him, which included classified information, and passed some of it to the New York Times.
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker told investigators that he was instructed to leak information to the Times, and he understood that the orders had come from Comey. And we know for a fact that the media took the leaked information and ran with it.
I’ll never forget watching NBC news on election night 2016 (just to enjoy their pain). Overcome with shock, at 1:26 a.m., Lester Holt and other commentators reminded America that there was Russian interference in the election which may have affected its result. Where did that notion come from? James Comey, with a big assist from Congressman (now Senator) Adam Schiff for brains, who also was leaking his ass off.
What Comey and company did was far more than a political dirty tricks campaign. That happens all the time. What Comey and the others did was to weaponize the DOJ, the FBI, and the rest of the intelligence agencies to undo the will of the people who had chosen Donald Trump as their President. Simply put, Comey and the others were the very “existential threat to democracy” that lying Democrats are always harping about.
All that being said, do I think the current charges will result in a conviction which will see Comey behind bars? Probably not. The case will be heard by an Obama appointed judge in Virginia. But I don’t care how it ends, so long as it ends with Comey destitute from having to pay his lawyers. Hopefully the rest of the conspirators will face charges as well. Each and every one of them should be forced to endure the same pain and financial ruin, that the Biden Justice Department visited on President Trump and his close supporters.
It’s about time that what has gone around is coming around. Some may call it retribution. I don’t care. There’s no need to seek retribution unless you’ve been wronged first. Let’s hope the next thing that comes around is justice for Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and company.
