Weasel Comey lied to Trump

Real Clear Investigations is doing something rare in 21st century America. It is committing journalism.

RCI reported, "Sources tell RealClearInvestigations that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will soon file a report with evidence indicating that Comey was misleading the president. Even as he repeatedly assured Trump that he was not a target, the former director was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent.

"Two U.S. officials briefed on the inspector general’s investigation of possible FBI misconduct said Comey was essentially running a covert operation against the president, starting with a private defensive briefing he gave Trump just weeks before his inauguration. They said Horowitz has examined high-level FBI text messages and other communications indicating Comey was actually conducting a counterintelligence assessment of Trump during that January 2017 meeting in New York."

That defensive briefing was when Jimmy the Weasel Comey planted a two-page memo on President-elect Donald John Trump that darkly hinted Vlad Putin was blackmailing him. On reality, the memo referenced a dossier purchased by Hillary which was used by Comey and company to justify the Obama administration's spying on Trump's campaign a month before the election. They had tried earlier, but the FISA judge reviewed the application and refused to approve the spying.

That memo kicked off the events that led to the Mueller witch hunt which eventually vindicated President Trump.

Democrats on Wednesday will try to get Robert Mueller to give them a reason to impeach President Trump.

The inspector general's report may thwart that effort. Comey apparently is a target.

RCI reported, "In his recently published memoir, 'A Higher Loyalty,' Comey denied having 'a counterintelligence case file open on [Trump],' though he qualified the denial by adding this was true only in the 'literal' sense.  He also twice denied investigating Trump, under oath, in congressional testimony."

I said all along that book would get him in trouble because prosecutors would go over each statement with a fine-toothed comb. They apparently have.

RCI reported, "What remains unclear is why Comey would take such extraordinary steps against a sitting president. The Mueller report concluded there was no basis for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theories. Comey himself was an early skeptic of the Steele dossier -- the opposition research memos paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that were the road map of collusion theories – which he dismissed as 'salacious and unverified.'

"Republicans including House Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Devin Nunes believe that Comey, like his top counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, was attempting to 'stop' the Trump presidency for political reasons."

The news industry praised Comey as this knight in shining armor because he tried to stop President Trump from serving as president.

Actually, Comey's actions were unAmerican because he tried to overturn an election. He was not alone.

The fish rots from the head, and in this case the head was Obama. Sadly, his status as the first black president gives him immunity from justice.

But that does not mean Comey and the rest should not face prosecution.
