Originally Comey accused the former secretary of state of being “grossly negligent” in handling classified information in a draft dated May 2, 2016, but that was modified to claim that Clinton had been “extremely careless” in a draft dated June 10, 2016. Comey stuck to that modified language when he announced in July 2016 that there would be no charges against Clinton. Federal law states that gross negligence in handling the nation’s intelligence can be punished criminally with prison time or fines, according to The Hill, which first reported on the memos. “There is evidence to support a conclusion that Secretary Clinton, and others, used the email server in a manner that was grossly negligent with respect to the handling of classified information,” one of Comey’s earliest drafts states. The former FBI chief is being investigated for actions he took during reopening the Clinton probe, while congressmen are looking into a uranium agreement with a Russian company.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Monday that he is seeking more details about the language modification in Comey’s decision. “Although Director Comey’s original version of his statement acknowledged that Secretary Clinton had violated the statute prohibiting gross negligence in the handling of classified information, he nonetheless exonerated her in that early, May 2nd draft statement anyway, arguing that this part of the statute should not be enforced,” Grassley wrote in a letter today to current FBI Director Christopher Wray. A case agent looking into Clinton’s emails previously told Fox News that Comey had insisted investigators find “intent” for prosecution. ”Gross negligence” under the statute does not require intent. A former FBI agent with decades of national security experience reacted: “I along with many retired FBI Agents are very disappointed with the disrepute that Comey's handling of the Clinton mishandling of classified information brought upon the Bureau. This cheapens the sacrifices of our friends and colleagues who died in the FBI. These drafts would have been on FBI Computers. Therefore, I would like to know when Comey [got] these emails and was there anyone in the FBI complicit in delaying their disclosure to Grassley?”
During a May 11, 2016 briefing for reporters at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Comey was pressed by Fox News on whether the law for mishandling classified information would be applied equally to then-candidate Clinton and her team. His comment of denial about special treatment for Clinton appeared to pose another conflict for Comey, as lawmakers have pressed the former FBI boss — who was fired by President Donald Trump on May 9 — to address public discrepancies in his past statements about his handling of the Clinton case. FBI records — titled “Drafts of Director Comey’s July 5, 2016 Statement Regarding Email Server Investigation Part 01 of 01” — confirmed that Comey drafted a statement on the Clinton case two months before interviewing her and eventually recommending no criminal charges. The contents of the emails are unclear because most of the material was redacted. However, the now-public records show an email titled, “Midyear Exam — UNCLASSIFIED” was sent by Comey on May 2, 2016 to Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, General Counsel James Baker and James Rybicki, then chief of staff and senior counselor. Fox News previously reported that Trump accused Comey of having “totally protected” Clinton in the 2016 presidential election in a series of tweets. |

Why did this not get any traction for an entire month? Shouldn't it have come to light a year ago, in reality? They are acting like it NEWS now. |

Clinton's believe they are made of Teflon .... and seemingly so ... either out of fear for one's life should they ever 'cross' a Clinton, or out of monetary enrichment through funds from their slush fund known as the Clinton Foundation. In any event, even the highest law in the land was compromised by these low-life grifters. |

Let's take a moment to review the Clinton's political resume: 12 rape accusations, 121 mysterious deaths, 1 dead American Ambassador, 3 Navy Seals dead, 10 investigations, 1 impeachment, 2 disbarments, 30,000+ emails deleted to hinder a federal investigation, and helped arm and create ISIS by political decisions made as Secretary of State Throw in the Clinton Foundation scams, and the left has some high quality people steering the ship..... |
