"Comey is Not a Stupid Guy"


Posted: Jul 14, 2016

"Please read and consider what I wrote here before you want to kill me. The director of the FBI did America a favor. He.presented his case to We the People. I think that Comey did all he could yesterday. Should a case have gone to trial, there would be no verdict prior to the election and all of the evidence would have been kept from the public. He circumvented a corrupt criminal justice system that he knew would fail us. According to the Constitution, all citizens are her peers, but in the court of public opinion, only a majority is required to defeat her. In a court of law, it must be unanimous . Comey presented his case today and there was truly damning evidence presented. Comey impaneled the American people today because there is no way that among 12 people there could be one that would not be compromised. He is all too familiar with the ways of the Clintons. Comey burned the rug today. This won't be swept under it. You have just received a call to jury duty. Be the captain. Speak loud. Comey did." Comey is not a stupid guy. He may have been directed to "take the fall" with his Hillary announcement (we know that Loretta didn't want this thrown on her desk to preside over, even though the FBI has no authority to make decisions whether or not to prosecute crimes; they only investigate and Justice Dept decides that). However, he decided to do something out of the ordinary -- lay out and disclose all of his evidence during his Press Conference. He knew what he was doing and he knew that it would create a "firestorm" of controversy. If he had just sent everything he had to AG Lynch, it might have all gotten buried or, at least, not disclosed until long after the election. Instead, he threw it all out for the public to know. He also knew that it would cause Congress to call for an investigation so, now, he will not just be able to go and answer their questions; he made himself available almost instantly ( tomorrow at 10 AM) full well knowing that they will want to dig even deeper, hear about more evidence and have an open-ended Q&A for the entire day if they want to. If he wanted to, he could have stalled this for a month just by saying "he's busy; send me a Subpoena or let's schedule it for a convenient time. I think Comey knew that this way the FBI's entire case will get a full public airing (and, since there isn't a prosecution pending, he can be candid and open about anything and everything). If it went to the Justice Dept's hands, it would die a slow death there. Nothing will be kept secret now; we'll learn about things (such as Hillary having 12 private servers) that no one even suspected existed. Comey can, literally, try this case before the public, just as he started to do laying out the key evidence just before "dropping the case", when everyone thought he was heading toward a recommendation of prosecution. The Public and Media will now get to know EVERYTHING that would or could have been presented in court if there was a prosecution (in fact, even more than what could be presented in court because there will be no rules of evidence holding him back). This hearing could be extremely eye-opening. Like I said, Comey isn't a stupid guy and he might have just outsmarted Lynch and Obama when they told him to "kill this case". A Grand Jury might have taken 6 months or longer to accomplish, if playing "according to Hoyle", plus it is secret, except for leaks. Now nothing will be secret. Again, Comey is not stupid and he might also prove that he is no one's lackey; however, he will just "play it straight"; answer all of the questions and not have to volunteer anything. After all, Obama and Lynch can't tell him to lie to Congress. He might look foolish laying out this case when not recommending prosecution but he might be wiser beyond our thinking because now he will just be responding to questions "under oath." That's my take on this scenario. This could come out to be the biggest fake-out in American history and, possibly, the only way to take down a liar and dishonest government official who is being "protected". It might, actually, be worse than anything Hillary and Bill ever imagined. Who knows; maybe this will also carry into the Foundation crap as well. We will see.;

Totally agree!!

Taken in context - all smiles

Taken the "breach of security" situation of the e-mails on a private server, I am glad for one that Comey came out with the information for this reason:

Throughout history there have been other breaches of security, and in the instances I heard about, on the late night talk shows, the males who breached security got a slap on the wrist. The breaches were

1) A 4-star general giving his personal book to his mistress - said book containing highly classified information - guilty of a misdemeanor.

2) A government employee who mistakenly took home a highly classified document in his briefcase and then just put it in a desk drawer at home. I think this person was reprimanded.

Given the 2 above that I know of and I suspect there are more, I really would prefer congress get to work for the American People rather than hold endless hearings to see how or what they might charge Hillary with. I suspect in the end, it would be another guilty of a misdemeanor.

I'm really tired of Congress endless holding hearings over countless hours when they know there is little if anything that ultimately they can do.

It is not right that a person can breach security and be slapped on the wrist, but that is what it is.

So, I hope congress moves on to something more important like the decaying infrastructure or the wages, etc.

This is how she gets away with her corruption. - People don't care.

Seemingly intelligent people growing impatient with fact finding just blows my mind!

NOPE listen - there is no crime!! - all smiles

There is a serious problem with the lack of actual 'crimes' one can be charged with regarding breaches of security, including, but entirely not limited to, using an unsecure e-mail server.

BUT THAT IS NOT THE OFFENDER'S FAULT. It is the fault of congress for not creating statutes that spell out the crimes one can be charged with when breaching security.

Did you watch what Ash Carter told congress when they TOLD HIM that he could not use his own private e-mail? Saw it straight from his lips.

The gist of his response was he didn't know it was an issue. He didn't know he had done something wrong and he sure would not do it again.

So, okay.

If you want Hillary to be charged with a crime, then tell congress to MAKE IT A CRIME.

It is not a crime to use an unsecure e-mail server unless you are blatantly intending to breach security and put the government at risk. Anybody willing to believe Ash Carter was blatantly wanting to breach security and put the government at risk?

Perhaps the 4-star general was blatantly wanting to breach security and put the government at risk?

Perhaps the guy who put the highly classified document in his desk drawer at home was blatantly wanting to breach security and put the government at risk?

Probably not. Should they all have known? Probably yes. Should they be more diligent? Perhaps. Maybe.

But then think about the flip side: So the secure server is down (yea like government e-mail servers never go down), there is a very serious to potentially catastrophic situation NOW, and you must contact somebody NOW.

What do you do? Wait until the government server comes back up? Use your personal cell phone (yea, really secure)? Use your semi-secure private e-mail server?

What do you do? Bide by the rules and let the catastrophe happen?

How Does Comey Escape The Latest Referral OnJul 13, 2016
Perjury requires intent.  One must "knowingly" make false statements under oath.  Note that Comey built an escape hatch for Hillary into his statements made both in his public announcement and in his testimony before Congress...namely, that Hillary was "unsophisticated" about these matters.  Stupid but not culpable. Ignorant but not blameworthy. Prediction:  This referral is going nowhere. ...
