Mileage Psycho Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Quote FBI's Comey opposed naming Russians, citing election timing: Source FBI Director James Comey argued privately that it was too close to Election Day for the United States government to name Russia as meddling in the U.S. election and ultimately ensured that the FBI's name was not on the document that the U.S. government put out, a former FBI official tells CNBC. The official said some government insiders are perplexed as to why Comey would have election timing concerns with the Russian disclosure but not with the Huma Abedin email discovery disclosure he made Friday. In the end, the Department of Homeland Security and The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued the statement on Oct. 7, saying "The U.S. intelligence community is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations…These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process." An FBI spokesperson declined to comment on Comey's role in the decision making surrounding the Oct. 7 statement. According to the former official, Comey agreed with the conclusion the intelligence community came to: "A foreign power was trying to undermine the election. He believed it to be true, but was against putting it out before the election." Comey's position, this official said, was "if it is said, it shouldn't come from the FBI, which as you'll recall it did not." Comey took a different approach toward releasing information about the discovery of emails on a laptop that was used by former Congressman Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, the official said. "By doing a press conference, and personally testifying and giving his opinion about the conduct, he made this about James Comey and his credibility," the official said. "You can see why he did it, from his perspective, once he had had that press conference." The official said FBI investigators can get a "preliminary read" of the newly discovered emails within a couple of days and come to an initial conclusion about whether there is classified material in the files. "The questions is whether they will decide to share that read or not," the official said. "Normally in the FBI we would not, but we're not in normal land anymore." Comey's decision to announce the new investigative steps has come under severe criticism from Democrats, including Hillary Clinton who addressed the issue at a rally Monday. "I'm sure a lot of you may be asking what this new email story is about and why in the world the FBI would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of any wrongdoing with just days to go. That's a good question," Clinton said. "I am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the last year. There is no case here." The Donald Trump campaign, meanwhile, has praised Comey for continuing to investigate Clinton. "The right thing to do whatever the FBI thinks," said Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on CNBC Monday morning. "It's not for us to say speed it up because of the election or slow it down because of the election." http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbis-comey-opposed-naming-russians-citing-election-timing-source/ar-AAjETv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoslinger Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) i was wondering if comey didn't reveal this e-mail thing, to counter balance a russia/trump investigation announcement? that way he doesn't look like he's favoring clinton. cause let's face it, anyone with any sense doesn't want trump in office. i think comey has some sense.

Zambroski Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Poor Hillary supporters. One more thing they have to try to water down and cut into bite size pieces to be able to choke down and swallow while continuing to curtsy for their oh so corrupt and lying queen. It must be absolute torture to sacrifice ones own integrity for absolutely no real gain. But I guess if you don't have much to begin with, well......easy peazy!

Oh yes. When our political "leaders" run out of scape goats within our own nation. These people are throwbacks out of the 1970's. And yes, blaming and insulting the worlds second largest superpower (nuclear) then saying Trump isn't stable enough to hold the "nuclear codes". It's a damn children's book! And a bad one at that!

Do you think the Republicans dont know their time is coming? I bet the behaviour shapes up knowing they could be exposed at any time. I'm all for exposing any corruption and I don't think a single thing has been exposed that the public didnt have a right to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidest shit ever. are you really this naive? serious question. there are many valid concerns with russia and their desires and plans. having a puppet like trump in the WH would benefit them, and him, very nicely.
