More evidence of Comey’s misuse of powerful position

Matt Vespa writes for Townhall.com about a new revelation involving a former FBI director fired during the first Trump administration.

Everyone hates James Comey. 

Conservatives hate him for his role in the Russian collusion hoax, but also that absurd “86/47” social media post. In that ridiculous tale, Comey claims he saw some shells arranged that way while walking on the beach. The man has increasingly become more unhinged since he was fired by Donald Trump, almost ten years ago.  

Democrats hate Comey for shedding light on the Hillary Clinton email scandal, wherein the former secretary of state used an unsecured email server for all official government business—a big no-no—and it was later determined that classified materials were sent through that system. Foreign intelligence services also hacked it. What made it worse was not Comey, but Clinton’s statement that it was allowed, only to have the State Department inspector general say that it was not; Clinton never inquired about it either. 

Well, maybe Democrats can forgive Comey a little (not really) because a new document dump from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) showed that the fired FBI chief pulled punches while investigating the email server, failing to follow department procedures regarding the investigation. It’s not just Comey, either—the other two clowns in the mess, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, are also named. A series of thumb drives given to FBI investigators from a source contained highly sensitive information that might have been germane to the probe. They never reviewed. Could it be because it would’ve roped in the Obama White House? …

… [I]t’s another chapter in how the Obama administration weaponized intelligence and its related agencies to go after Trump. Barack Obama’s name keeps getting mentioned—it’s as if he’s the head honcho here.
