In reply to the discussion: AL FRANKEN PLAYS HARDBALL - Presses Comey about Trumps Tax Returns! [View all]Sculpin Beauregard
(1,046 posts)81. Giuliani's law firm had ties to the NY FBI field office.
Days before Comey sent the letter, which Chaffetz made public, Giuliani was crowing to Fox News that there was a 'big surprise' coming.
In the next two days, Giuliani told Fox Newss Martha MacCallum, then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump would reveal a surprise or two.
Im talking about some pretty big surprise, he said.
Two days later, Comey sent a letter to Congress, revealing the Clinton matter which the FBI had earlier recommended be closed without charges was back on.
Democrats were furious. Did Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney and New York mayor whose former law firm represents the FBI Agents Association, have law enforcement sources who told him what was coming? Reps. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) and John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) called on the Justice Department inspector general to investigate.
Full article here. Giuliani was leaking, and that was hinted at in the hearing the other day.
