FBI memo: Comey feared 'risk of being misunderstood'



In a note to his staff, FBI Director James Comey said he felt obligated to alert Congress to a development in the Hillary Clinton email server investigation, despite concerns about being misunderstood.

In an internal memo obtained by the Washington Post, written before he sent a letter to lawmakers about newly recovered emails that may have an impact on the investigation, Comey said he felt “an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent moths that our investigation was completed.” “Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record," he wrote.

In his letter, Comey was sparse on details of the new messages, saying only that they were uncovered through a separate investigation and that the bureau would take proper "investigative steps" to determine their pertinence to the Clinton case and whether any contained confidential information.

“Given that we don’t know the significance of his newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression," he wrote in the memo.

”In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood.”

Comey did this for one reason and one reason only. He knows Trump is going to win and have his head on a platter for his prior actions to close the investigation. He's doing this solely to protect himself from prosecution. And he couldn't have decided to do that at a better time!!!!

Thank you dear Donald Trump for keeping the heat on the FBI!! When our FBI falls to the evil of corruption, there is no law in our federal land and no justice in our country for our citizens.

VOTE TRUMP!!! VOTE TRUMP!!! VOTE TRUMP!! VOTE TRUMP!! VOTE TRUMP!!
