22. Don't See How Comey Can Survive
Wed Dec 14, 2016, 12:46 PM

Both of his letters to the public were misleading. The FBI did not have any "new" emails. The email resides on the server and the FBI already had that. What they discovered was a back-up file. When Hillary deleted 25,000 emails she said were personal it was after this back-up file was taken so what Comey was really seeking was some of those deleted emails. And, indeed, they found some. Comey even gave an example of where Hillary discussed what to wear to an upcoming event. So what this showed was that what Hillary deleted was personal in nature so it confirmed what she had been claiming. Damningly, Comey knew what the outcome would be when he wrote the first letter. The only "new" email that there could be is email that was later deleted, as Hillary had already testified to. Comey was looking to file perjury charges days before the election but the data instead exonerated Hillary. That is the true story of what is happening here. The grounds for seeking the warrant was an obvious lie.
