| Subject: Corrupt FBI Director Comey Takes Stand Again To Answer For "Handing Out Immunity Agreements Like Candy" Thu Sep 29, 2016 6:26 am | |
| As the credibility of the FBI continues to dwindle away over it's handling of the Hillary email investigation, FBI Director James Comey is back on the Hill today to explain why he was "handing out immunity agreements like candy." Comey has come under consistent attack recently from members of the House Oversight Committee who have alleged political bias in an investigation that granted immunity to 5 of Hillary's top aides and IT professionals while seemingly receiving minimal cooperation in return. The testimony can be viewed on C-SPAN. Allegations of impropriety were exacerbated by the FBI's decision to, not once but twice, dump information on the media late on a Friday afternoon in an obvious attempt to "bury the story." The latest 189-page, Friday afternoon document dump included, among other things, new revelations that Hillary maintained a gmail account while Secretary of State and that Obama, after previously denying knowledge of Hillary's private server, actually communicated with her on that server using a pseudonym. According to the Wall Street Journal, the FBI usually only “proffers” immunity deals in return for genuine information and requirements that the recipients cooperate with other investigating bodies, such as Congress. That said, in this specific case its unclear what the FBI received in return for their immunity deals other than what they could have otherwise taken with a subpoena. As Jim Jordan (R-OH) said, “if the FBI wanted any other Americans’ laptops, they would just go get them—they wouldn’t get an immunity deal." But, of course, by offering immunity, the FBI exempted the laptops and their emails as potential evidence in a criminal case.
