Comey, Lynch, and The Clinton’s, are Dirty

‘THE BOTTOM LINE’

Published July 11, 2016

If you really want to know the truth about Hillary Clinton and why she created her own private dark email servers for classified government documents and communications, then you will want to read this rather lengthy dot connecting assemblage of highly documented Intel, blowing the lid off of the history of Hillary’s lies, connections, and cover-ups, all for personal monetary gain.   Follow the money as they say! And if you doubt the authenticity of this research, then be sure to click on all the highlighted underlined hyperlinks connecting you to the source. This dirt won’t wash…

The first thing that smelled funny when I began this research, is that it is NOT FBI Director James Comey's job to decide to prosecute or not to prosecute.  His job is to collect and present the evidence in the case against Hillary Clinton over her use of private email servers, and not to decide whether or not to prosecute the case. 

I'm not really surprised about the outcome of the investigation against Hillary Clinton. But the statement “that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case”, tells me that somebody got to Comey.  Or is he just one of the good ole boys?

So, here is my opinion for whatever it may be worth.  Very simple---these things usually are. Part of it speaks to Bill Clinton’s so called innocent rendezvous with Loretta Lynch.  There is nothing innocent about Bill Clinton, good ole “it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’, is.”     

On Tuesday, after making his announcement about the findings in Clinton's case, in which Comey presented all’ the reasons why it was against the law to use a private e-mail server for high security Intel and how Hillary lied, committing perjury to the Congress and the FBI and after presenting all the evidence and making the case that should have given Hillary a long vacation in Club–Gitmo, Comey concluded with "no reasonable prosecutor would bring criminal charges against the former Secretary of State and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.”

To say that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” means that if anyone dare disagree, you're unreasonable if Attorney General Loretta Lynch decides to move forward, she's unreasonable. What it told me was that they are all in bed with each other. As it turns out they have quite a history…

Lynch, said, following a highly criticized meeting with former President Bill Clinton, said that she would follow the recommendations of Comey and other prosecutors in determining whether to file criminal charges against Clinton. Of course she would.  Especially after her subtle talk with Billy.  A complete setup.

The normal protocol, is the evidence would be presented to the prosecutors at the Department of Justice, even though oftentimes you ask the F.B.I. agents involved if you have a recommendation on whether the prosecution should go forward, but it's up to the prosecutors whether there should be an indictment. The federal standard is a probability a crime has occurred based upon the evidence given to you by the FBI.
Meanwhile, Lynch could still decide to move forward, but Comey has locked her into a ‘between a rock and a very hard place’ position.

Now why would Comey look the other way?
Well for one thing I scraped up a little history on Comey, Lynch, and the Clintons, and it seems FBI Director James Comey as well as the AG Loretta Lynch have a long history of involvement in Department of Justice actions that arguably ended favorably to the Clintons. All these criminals should share the same cell.
Cases such as the 2004 criminal investigation of Sandy Berger.  Comey, then serving as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, apparently limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger, which left out former Clinton administration officials who coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives. The documents were relevant to accusations that the Clinton administration was negligent in the build-up to the (9/11) terrorist attack.
Oh, what a tangled web we have found, and wait, just you wait until the end of the article.  The question of…why did Hillary illegally use her own private servers to process and store government classified documents and communiques. You will find that it was not just a mistake to use private servers, as Hillary has said. It was actually quite deliberate.
And curiously, Berger, Lynch and Cheryl Mills of the CIA all worked as partners in the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson, which prepared tax returns for the Clintons and did patent work for a software firm that played a role in the three private email servers Hillary Clinton used when she was secretary of state.
Lynch and Comey both served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. They crossed paths in the investigation of HSBC bank, which avoided criminal charges in a massive money-laundering scandal for which the bank paid a bribe of $1.9 billion.
After Attorney General John Aschroft recused himself in the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame affair in 2004, Comey appointed as special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who ended up convicting “Scooter” Libby, a top aide to then Vice President Dick Cheney, of perjury and obstruction of justice. The charge affirmed the accusations of Plame and her former ambassador husband, Joe Wilson – both partisan supporters of Bill and Hillary Clinton – that Libby outed her as a CIA agent.  The thing of it was Plame worked, at the time, as an office worker, not a field agent. 
New York Times reporter Judith Miller’s 2015 memoir strongly suggests Fitzgerald improperly manipulated testimony and withheld crucial evidence like Plame was not a field agent in obtaining a conviction against Libby in his 2007 trial.

Prosecutor in Berger case
Deputy attorney general, Comey was involved in the investigation of Berger, as Fox News reported in 2004
Berger at that time was under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for removing from the National Archives various classified documents that should have been turned over to the independent commission investigating the 9/11 terror attacks and for removing handwritten notes he made while reviewing the documents.
The New York Times reported in 2005 that Republican leaders speculated Berger removed the documents from the National Archives because he was trying to conceal material that could be damaging to the Clinton administration.
Various statements Comey made about Berger’s mishandling of classified documents bear comparison to his comments regarding Hillary Clinton’s email server.
In 2004, Fox News noted Comey told reporters he could not comment on the Berger investigation but did address the general issue of mishandling classified documents.
“As a general matter, we take issues of classified information very seriously,” Comey said in response to a reporter’s question.
He added that the department had prosecuted and sought administrative sanctions against people for mishandling classified information.
“It’s our lifeblood, those secrets,” Comey continued. “It’s against the law for anyone to intentionally mishandle classified documents either by taking it to give to somebody else or by mishandling it in a way that is outside the government regulations.”
So what is he saying now?  That Hillary unintentionally mishandled classified documents?  That she didn’t intend to hide the fact that she violated the law hiding classified Intel? What? The devil made her do it???
On April 1, 2005, Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of intentionally removing documents from the National Archives and destroying some of them. He was fined $50,000, sentenced to 100 hours of community service and two years’ probation. A slap on the wrist if I ever saw one, oh, also, his national security license was stripped for two years. What about Hillary’s top security clearance.
Several messages found stored on one of Clinton’s private email servers showed that Berger – a convicted thief of classified documents with a revoked classification license – had been advising Clinton while she served as secretary of state and had access to emails containing classified information.

For example, in an email dated Sept. 22, 2009, Berger advised Clinton of how she could leverage information to make Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more cooperative in discussions with the Obama administration over a settlement freeze.

Oh! You want more? Okay, a Washington Law firm ties Berger, Lynch, Mills together.  Berger worked as a partner in the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson from 1973 to 1977, before taking a position as the deputy director of policy planning at the State Department in the Carter administration.
When Carter lost his re-election bid, Berger returned to Hogan & Hartson, where he worked until he took leave in 1988 to act as foreign policy adviser in Gov. Michael Dukakis’ presidential campaign.
When Dukakis was defeated, Berger returned to Hogan & Hartson until he became foreign policy adviser for Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign in 1992.
On March 28, WorldNetDaily reported Lynch was a litigation partner for eight years at Hogan & Hartson, from March 2002 through April 2010. All one big happy family.

Mills also worked at Hogan & Hartson, for two years, starting in 1990, before she joined then President-elect Bill Clinton’s transition team, on her way to securing a position as White House deputy counsel in the Clinton administration.
According to documents Hillary Clinton’s first presidential campaign made public in 2008, Hogan & Hartson’s New York-based partner Howard Topaz was the tax lawyer who filed income tax returns for Bill and Hillary Clinton beginning in 2004.
In addition, Hogan & Hartson in Virginia filed a patent trademark request on May 19, 2004, for Denver-based MX Logic Inc., the computer software firm that developed the email encryption system used to manage Clinton’s private email server beginning in July 2013. A tech expert has observed that employees of MX Logic had access to all the high level clarified emails that went through her account.
In 1999, President Bill Clinton nominated Lynch for the first of her two terms as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, a position she held until she joined Hogan & Hartson in March 2002 to become a partner in the firm’s Litigation Practice Group.
She left Hogan & Hartson in 2010, after being nominated by President Obama for her second term as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, a position she held until Obama nominated her to serve in her current position as attorney general.
A report published April 8, 2008, by The American Lawyer noted Hogan & Hartson was among Hillary Clinton’s biggest financial supporters in the legal industry during her first presidential campaign.
“Firm lawyers and staff have donated nearly $123,400 to her campaign so far, according to campaign contribution data from the Center for Responsive Politics,” Nate Raymond observed in The American Lawyer article. “Christine Varney, a partner in Hogan’s Washington, D.C., office, served as chief counsel to the Clinton-Gore Campaign in 1992.”
While Lynch may not have played a direct role either in the tax work done by the firm for the Clintons or in linking Hillary’s private email server to MX Logic, the ethics of the legal profession hold all partners jointly liable for the actions of other partners in a business“If Hogan and Hartson previously represented the Clintons on tax matters, it is incumbent upon U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to disclose what, if any, role she had in such tax matters,” said Tom Fitton, president of Washington-based Judicial Watch.

HSBC link
When Lynch’s nomination as attorney general was considered by the Senate one year ago, the Senate Judiciary Committee examined her role in the Obama administration’s decision not to prosecute the banking giant HSBC for laundering funds for Mexican drug cartels and Middle Eastern terrorists.
WorldNetDaily was first to report in a series of articles beginning in 2012 money-laundering charges brought by John Cruz, a former HSBC vice president and relationship manager, based on his more than 1,000 pages of evidence and secret audio recordings.

The staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee focused on Cruz’s allegations that Lynch, acting then in her capacity as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, engaged in a Department of Justice cover-up. Obama’s attorney general nominee allowed HSBC in December 2011 to enter into a “deferred prosecution” settlement in which the bank agreed to pay a $1.9 billion fine and admit “willful criminal conduct” in exchange for dropping criminal investigations and prosecutions of HSBC directors or employees.
From 2002 to 2003, Comey held the position of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the same position held by Lynch.
On March 4, 2013, Comey joined the HSBC board of directors, agreeing to serve as an independent non-executive director and a member of the bank’s Financial System Vulnerabilities Committee, positions he held until he resigned on Aug. 3, 2013, to become head of the FBI.

Comey, Fitzgerald and Valerie Plame connection
On Jan. 1, 2004, the Washington Post reported that after Attorney General John Aschroft recused himself and his staff from any involvement in the investigation of who leaked the name of CIA employee Valerie Plame after journalist Robert Novak named her in print as a CIA operative, Comey assumed the role of acting attorney general for the purposes of the investigation.
Comey appointed Patrick J. Fitzgerald, a U.S. attorney in Chicago, to act as special counsel in conducting the inquiry into what became known as “Plamegate.”
At the time Comey made the appointment, Fitzgerald was already godfather to one of Comey’s children.

On April 13, 2015, co-authoring a USA Today op-ed piece, Plame and her husband, retired ambassador Joseph Wilson, made public their support for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, openly acknowledging their political closeness to both Hillary and Bill Clinton.
The first two paragraphs of the editorial read:
“We have known Hillary Clinton both professionally and personally for close to 20 years, dating back to before President Bill Clinton’s first trip to Africa in 1998 — a trip that they both acknowledge changed their lives, and gave considerable meaning to their post-White House years and to the activities of the Clinton Foundation. Joe, serving as the National Security Council Senior Director for African Affairs, was instrumental in arranging that historic visit.
Our history became entwined with Hillary further after Valerie’s identity as a CIA officer was deliberately exposed. That criminal act was taken in retribution for Joe’s article in The New York Times in which he explained he had discovered no basis for the Bush administration’s justification for the Iraq War that Saddam Hussein was seeking yellowcake uranium to develop a nuclear weapon.”
In January 2016, Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller reported that Hillary Clinton emails made public made clear that one of her “most frequent favor-seekers when she was secretary of state was former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a longtime Clinton friend, an endorser of Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and an Africa expert with deep business ties on the continent.”
Ross noted that Wilson emailed Clinton on Dec. 22, 2009, seeking help for Symbion Power, an American engineering contractor for whom Wilson consulted, in the company’s bid to pursue a U.S. Agency of International Development contract for work in Afghanistan.
In the case of the Afghanistan project, Ross noted, Clinton vouched for Wilson and Symbion as she forwarded the request to Jack Lew, who served then as deputy secretary of state for management and resources.  Ross further reported Wilson’s request might also have been discussed with President Obama, as one email indicates.
In 2005, Fitzgerald prosecuted Libby, a prominent adviser to then Vice President Dick Cheney, in the Plame investigation, charging him with two counts of perjury, two counts of making false statements to federal prosecutors and one count of obstruction of justice.  On March 6, 2007, Libby was convicted of four of the five counts, and on June 5, 2007, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton to two and a half years in federal prison.
On April 6, 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported the publication of New York Times reporter Judith Miller’s memoir “The Story: A Reporter’s Journey” exposed “unscrupulous conduct” by Fitzgerald in the 2007 trial of Libby.  WSJ reporter Peter Berkowitz noted Miller “writes that Mr. Fitzgerald induced her to give what she now realizes was false testimony.”
“By withholding critical information and manipulating her memory as he prepared her to testify, Ms. Miller relates, Mr. Fitzgerald ‘steered’ her ‘in the wrong direction.’”
Why three private off the grid computer servers?
So why did Hillary purposely choose to use her own private computer servers to process and store all her emails including all the highly classified and top secret U.S. Government Intelligence?  Well “the crime partnership of Bill and Hillary Clinton had the perfect set-up with Bill heading the Clinton Foundation and Hillary appointed secretary of state,” said Corsi, a WorldNetDaily senior staff writer. “The opportunity for the Clintons to enrich themselves was never greater with Bill positioned to solicit donations from those desiring favorable State Department policy decisions from Hillary.”
So hear it is, this scam would not work if Hillary’s State Department emails were available to be archived on the State Department system, thus subject to FOIA requests. According to Corsi, the scam required emails passing classified information to top officials in the Clinton Foundation as well as Teneo, a corporate advisory firm established by Clinton ally Doug Band.
“With advance knowledge of U.S. foreign policy initiatives – including meetings being scheduled with foreign heads of state – the Clinton Foundation and Teneo could work overtime to make sure foreign operatives seeking favors knew where to send checks in their ‘pay to play’ scheme,” Corsi explained.
“By keeping all her emails on a private servers, Hillary and her trusted operatives in the State Department – Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills – could play like an orchestra on Hillary’s schedule, orchestrating her policy decisions for maximum gain – provided Bill Clinton and top officials at the Clinton Foundation and Teneo had inside access to classified top secret national security information sure to pass through Hillary’s email traffic.”
All of this adds up to two crimes, in Corsi’s estimation.
“The crime was not only corruption – the selling of ‘official acts’ as secretary of state for personal gain obtained via ‘donations’ to the Clinton Foundation – the crime was also inurement – operating a 501 3(c) tax-favored charity for personal gain.”

THE BOTTOM LINE:  So does that show intent to violate the law or what?  Is the FBI, the State department and the DOJ digging themselves a bigger hole, enough to bury them all, or, will the good ole boys in Washington again be able to fool all the people all of the time? A lot depends on how corrupt the media has become.  Bear in mind they know all of this information, they have just refused to report it.  

Yeah!  Well...my guess is that it will become just so much corrupt judicial dust swept into the round file archives of political history…

But that’s just my opinion!

What can you do?  Well you can contact your Representatives Here and tell them to continue to investigate the corruption of the Clintons, the FBI and the DOJ.  Or ‘…you can just go sit by your swimming pool, sip your Mint Julips and just let the whole world go by in a blur.  Bear in mind that is what got us into this apathetic mess in the first place.  Come on! Do your job…
