What is the FBI hiding in its war to protect Comey?

comeyTom Fitton – As the James Comey saga continues to unfold, the James Comey legend continues to unravel. The more we learn about his involvement in the deep state’s illicit targeting of President Trump, the more reason the American people have to question both his motives and his management as director of the FBI, the now-disgraced agency he headed before Trump fired him on May 9, 2017. Comey has left a trail of suspicious activities in his wake.

Comey now looms large over a burgeoning constitutional crisis that could soon overshadow Watergate at its worst. To deepen the crisis even further, it now appears some of Comey’s former FBI and Justice Department colleagues continue to protect him from accountability.

Three suspicious activities stand out, all intertwined: the so-called Comey Memos, Comey’s controversial testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee and Comey’s book deal.

After Comey was fired by President Trump on May 9, 2017, he arranged to give The New York Times a Feb. 14, 2017, memorandum he had written about a one-on-one conversation with Trump regarding former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The New York Times published a report about the memo on May 16, 2017. Special counsel Robert Muellerwas appointed the following day. 

On June 8, 2017, Comey testified under oath before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, where he stated he authored as many as nine such memos. Regarding the Flynn memo, Comey admitted: “I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter [for The New York Times]. I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”

Comey also testified about Trump’s firing of him, and he detailed multiple conversations with Trump, during which Comey confirmed he told Trump three times that he was not a target of investigation. Judicial Watch is pursuing numerous FOIA lawsuits relating to Comey’s memoranda and FBI exit records as well a lawsuit for Justice Department communications about Comey’s Senate testimony. The American people deserve to know what, if any, complicity his former colleagues had in drafting that testimony and/or in engineering the appointment of Mueller.

The day before Comey’s testimony, Fox News reported: “A source close to James Comey tells Fox News the former FBI director’s Senate testimony has been ‘closely coordinated’ with Robert Mueller.” Comey may have violated the law in leaking his official FBI memos to the media, and it would be a scandal if Comey coordinated his Senate testimony with Mueller’s special counsel office.

That we have had to sue in federal court to discover the truth speaks volumes. The FBI has built a protective stonewall around Comey by refusing to release the Comey memos and refusing to disclose records of communications between the FBI and Comey prior to and regarding Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Since his forced departure from the FBI, Comey signed a book deal in August, set for publication in April, for which he reportedly received an advance in excess of $2 million. Given the fact that the FBI appears to be letting Comey get away with stealing and leaking official government documents and colluding with the special counsel to get Trump, even a trusting person must be suspicious about his book deal.

The FBI has fanned those suspicions by, you guessed it, adding a new layer to the protective stonewall around Comey. Again, Judicial Watch has been forced to sue a recalcitrant FBI for records, including but not limited to forms Comey was required to complete relating to prepublication review of the book by the FBI. Did Comey’s cronies give the fired FBI director a pass on this long-standing requirement? Is that why they are stonewalling the Judicial Watch FOIA?

Based upon Comey’s performance to date, this book likely will be an elaborate exercise in self-apotheosis. That’s why the American public deserves to know if Comey’s former colleagues — many of whom we now know aided in his exoneration of Hillary Clinton and have participated in the contrived investigation of Donald Trump — scrutinized his literary claims or simply green-lighted his every word.

There is no doubt that the deep state is in deep cover-up mode. The FBI, Justice Department and the special counsel all are stonewalling our requests for Comey documents. The more they stonewall, the deeper the suspicions grow about Comey’s complicity in the entire attempt to use the bogus Trump dossier to prevent the election of Donald Trump, and then use it to undermine his presidency once he was elected to office. In my experience in Washington, when people refuse to come clean, it is usually because they are hiding dirty laundry.

  1. Gillian, after reading the comments by DH a thought occurred . . . given the ‘hidden agenda’ meme it would follow that Comey is yet another patsy, albeit a BIG one literally (at 6’8″) as well as figuratively given his golden parachutes from top world players and his association with the likes of Lockheed and HSBC.

    An over-riding question remains as to what end the chicanery plays and it would further follow that Comey’s behind-the-scene protectors and/or puppeteers could obviously shed much light in answer to the question.

    Thanks for sharing the article and kudos to ‘Judicial Watch’ . . . that the JW staff manages to persevere in the face of out-right and on-going violation of the US Constitution and the Rule of Law is truly remarkable!

    1. Before I’d call Comey a “patsy” I’d call him a very willing participant. There are some photos of him and videos that tend to suggest he may have been traumatized sexually as a child. If this is true then he could be being blackmailed to insure he performs as Cover Upper In Chief. However it seems more likely that he has had few qualms re taking the Left Hand Path. He is most assuredly NOT a good guy.

  2. My humble opinion: I have survived at least 32 years of gov’t targeting with ops,chemicals,directed energy weapons from infrasound to microwave. This is a topic that no one will address.

    Those involved with gov’t,policing,medics and emts,firemen,etc…know something if not everything. Certainly the FBI is deeply involved as well as defense industries such as Snake Head Martin. The FBI and SHM are technologically married. SHM does all the FBI computers and more. The fbi has offices on location at SHM to do employee screening for security clearances.

    James Comey was VP of operations for SHM in Maryland b4 becoming fbi head I believe. They are all involved in extrajudicial torture and murder. When they do that as when anyone embraces things like torture and murder-they have sold their “soul”.

    They have sacrificed their right to be human as well as their connection to “God”. As all this relates to a cover-up it should then become apparent that if the stupids ever become woke,the ship will hit the sand…Thx.

    1. Thanks for commenting, DH. Of course you’re right concerning the evil operationalized as “the agenda” globally. Time for change. Past time, in fact. -g
