Letter: Clinton, not Comey, responsible for email mess
Now we have James Comey, head of the FBI, coming under fire for re-opening the Clinton email scandal. It’s not Comey that should be the focus of this mess, but Hillary Clinton.
She alone is responsible for this entire debacle. Clinton alone should be the one under intense scrutiny. “Her people” allegedly scrubbed her email server using bleachbit, smashed phones, lied under oath to both Congress and the FBI, and then tried to cover their own tracks by even more lies. Watching the congressional exchange between James Comey and Trey Gowdy was stunning.
Apparently the FBI, Along with help from Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, Weiner’s estranged wife, now have enough information to reopen a case that should have never been closed in the first place. In fact, I’m not sure why Clinton wasn’t in jail two years ago for sending classified information. Obviously, there is enough there to hopefully have justice prevail.
In the meantime, the FBI is also investigating the Clinton Foundation’s dealings, whether or not there was some money laundering going on, and who was receiving funds. Innocent until proven guilty they say, but just based on evidence already there, the Clintons already are.
