Tic Tock Jim Comey!


Comey is not going to get indicted from his time as FBI director.
The Justice Department has decided against prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey for leaking classified information following a referral from the department’s inspector general, sources familiar with the deliberations told Fox News.

“Everyone at the DOJ involved in the decision said it wasn’t a close call,” one official said. “They all thought this could not be prosecuted.”

Inspector General Horowitz found that Comey violated FBI policy regarding the memos, but the Department of Justice declined to prosecute Comey.[22] The New York Times and The Washington Post reported on November 22, 2019 that a forthcoming Horowitz report did not find Comey engaged in politically biased actions against Trump.[23][24]

I'll try this again.

Ajax. Can you explain what Clinesmith altered and how it, specifically, allowed the Russian probe to move forward?

No, Ajax. I want YOU, personally, to explain the following:

1) What Clinesmith altered specifically.

2) And how it, specifically, allowed the ENTIRE Russian probe to move forward?

Ajax's response reminds me of common responses by flat-earthers to flat earth debunking sites. They often respond by providing a link to some flat-earth video or other that supposedly clearly disproves the globe theory. Never can they state or explain in their own words what particular arguments in the linked to video proves the flat earth, or how they cast serious doubt on the earth's globularity.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

"Clinesmith was referred for potential prosecution by the Justice Department's inspector general's office over an altered email about former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page claiming he was "not a source" for another government agency. Page has said he was a source for the CIA."

The DOJ relied on that assertion as it submitted a third and final renewal application in 2017 to eavesdrop on Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The investigation should have died at this point since the FBI knew the dossier was a hoax. Several of these members of the FBI probably misguided Congress to further their coup attempt to undo the 2016 election. This has been a breach of trust between the American people and the FBI. We need FISA to combat terrorism but until the people who abused this go to jail, we're not going to get that trust back.

I guess I'm not going to get answers from Ajax. I don't think he understands what he thinks is a gotcha moment in the Russia investigation. Oh well.

To be fair, I think the tried/true Democratic party strategy of one rotten apple ruins the bunch is being attempted here. And given that other FBI officials have exhibited similar behavior, you can reasonably argue for a pattern emerging that calls into question not just the veracity of the report's information but also the idea of a concerted effort seems more plausible. Now is this a "gotcha" moment, a.k.a. smoking gun, no I do not think so - but it does appropriately counter the propaganda that many Democratic party members may want perpetuate in the ramp up to November.
While I think most people will recognize that memories Russia-gate are mostly impotent against Trump, lingering gossip can be confusing to people who were not paying close attention to the matter.
Simply put, the death by a thousand accusations can be applied to Democrats as well.
