James Comey: I'd Still Have A Job If Hillary Clinton Had Won The Election

James Comey: I'd Still Have A Job If Hillary Clinton Had Won The Election
By Harriet Sinclair On 5/1/18 at 8:32 AM

Former FBI director James Comey says he believes he would still be running the bureau if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 presidential election.

Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump in May 2017, refused to comment on whether he wished Clinton had won the election during an interview with Axios’ Mike Allen, but said he would still be in a job if Clinton was in charge.

“I think I would still be the FBI director… Secretary Clinton is someone deeply enmeshed in the rule of law, respect for institutions, a lawyer,” Comey said in response to a question about what he thought would have happened to him if Clinton had won the election.

Yes, he would still be the director and should not have been fired no matter who was president.  That was one of the Trump firings; you will recall there were several/many.
He did not vote for president in the 2016 election due to the problems that were happening.

He's lucky he wasn't fired on day one as he damned well should have been!

@Victoria33
You're right Trump shouldn't have fired him.  Trump shouldn't have had too.  He should have been fired for screwing up the Hillary email investigation and then his public statements about it.  Not to mention being prosecuted for his mishandling of classified data.

That you would excuse Comey because of your blind hatred for Trump speaks LOUDLY.

My opinion of the FBI investigation of Hillary and other investigations, has nothing to do with Trump.  I gathered information how the Hillary investigation and others were done.  Based on that, Trump should not have fired him for doing his job.

@Victoria33

I could not agree less.   Hillary and Team broke a multitude of laws related to handling of govt information and national security.   There is no way that people shouldn't be in jail today, her included, for the email server fiasco.   People most likely died and severe damage was done to the United States. 

James Comey covered up the crimes and allowed evidence to be destroyed.  Then he made public statements trying to justify his decision.  Those statements were against FBI regulations.

He not only didn't do his job but he didn't do it for political reasons which this article is just one more example of. 

 Please take a moment to reflect.  You are better person then this.

After knowing how the FBI investigates, the number of people involved, how it works, I do not agree with you.  Thanks for your reasonable post, not personally attacking.

@Victoria33
I've been on the receiving end of several national security investigations after people I worked with screwed up.  The Feds do not screw around.   They don't call you politely and inquire when you might be available for an interview.  They sure as hell don't return any evidence before the investigation is complete, and IF they do that evidence sure wouldn't still contain classified information.

All govt information is required by law to be processed on govt systems.   Transferring any govt information out to yahoo, or a personal server is against the law.   Transferring the lowest level of govt information (For Official Use Only) to a personal computer has ended careers and been prosecuted.   Transferring classified information, removing classification markings, even possessing classified outside of a govt system is a crime (felony).   She and her crew did all of these things.

All of those things are clear cut crimes.  The govt doesn't have to show intent, they don't have to show anything except that you mishandled classified information.   This was a crime against our nation and it absolutely resulted in severe damage to our national security.    Comey was Director of the FBI and was responsible for investigating it.  yet he had his letter of apology written for Hillary before he even interviewed her. 

There is absolutely no way the FBI did their job.  Perhaps the rank and file did but certainly not the people at the top of the FBI and DOJ.   The made their decisions based on their personal politics and looked the other way when our govt officials were GIVING Top Secret special access information to our enemies.

There is no excuse for it.   People are in prison today for doing far far less.   That you look the other way while these people continue their anti-American agenda is mind boggling.

We are in complete agreement on this one. What Comey did was political corruption at the highest levels of government and it was done in our faces with no apologies or remorse. It is what makes "Banana Republics" Banana Republics. There's law for the little people and "law" for our rulers and they aren't the same and no one in power cares.

The FBI report about restarting the Clinton investigation and it being completed was sent to congress by the FBI.  It was not on twitter, etc.

Yeah, I was a bit confused by it myself.  Went back thru the thread to see if there was any relevance.  Didn't find any.   :shrug:

So... how come Comey isn't blaming or accusing Rosenstein?  He's the one that recommended that Trump fire Comey, after all.  And funny.... Rosenstein wasn't even mentioned in his book.  Wonder why?
