    FBI Director James Comey: No Criminal Charges for Hillary Clinton Based on Additional

    FBI Director James Comey: No Criminal Charges for Hillary Clinton Based on Additional Emails



    6 Nov 2016

    WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI director James Comey tells Congress review of additional Clinton emails does not change conclusion she should not face charges.

    Comey says that agents have “reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton” that were part of newly discovered emails.

    Comey sent a letter to Congress Sunday informing them that the FBI has “not changed our conclusions” from earlier this year that she should not face charges.

    The emails were found on the computer of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

    Comey’s brief letter did not indicate how many emails were reviewed or what sort of material was found in Abedin’s emails.

    Comey’s initial letter last month revealing that agents were reviewing the newly discovered email breathed new life into Donald Trump’s campaign. Trump has repeatedly warned that a cloud of scandal would follow Clinton to the White House.

    FBI tells Congress it has not changed conclusion on Clinton emails



    Reuters


    October 6,2016

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - FBI Director James Comey told Congress on Sunday a recent review of newly discovered emails did not change the agency's conclusion reached in July that no charges were warranted in the case of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

    U.S. Republican Representative Jason Chaffetz said in a tweet that Comey had informed him of the conclusion. Comey's letter to Congress informing it of the newly discovered emails had thrown Clinton's presidential race against Republican Donald Trump into turmoil.

    We hear the NYPD has copy of devices. We hear they will do something if the FBI does not. We hear others have information to doom them, to expose them. We hear, we hear, then nothing. C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N.

    Lots of things have come to light In leaks but this country stays in the dark as to doing anything.

    It supposedly took 15 months to review 30,000 emails and now we should believe 650,000 emails were reviewed in 7 days????

    FBI director: new Hillary Clinton emails show no criminal wrongdoing

    FBI director: new Hillary Clinton emails show no criminal wrongdoing

    James Comey says surprise batch of emails discovered during Anthony Weiner investigation ‘have not changed conclusion’ of inquiry completed in July

    The FBI has determined that a new batch of emails apparently related to Hillary Clinton’s private email server “have not changed our conclusion” that she committed no criminal wrongdoing, FBI director James Comey told congressional leaders in a letter on Sunday.

    As campaigning continued ahead of Tuesday’s presidential election, a Clinton spokeswoman said the candidate was “glad this matter is resolved”. Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, did not immediately address the Comey letter as he spoke at campaign events.

    On 28 October, only 11 days before the presidential election, Comey sent those leaders a letter informing them that agents had discovered emails “that appear pertinent” to the bureau’s months-long investigation into Clinton’s use of a private server while she was secretary of state.

    The move, so close to an election, proved tremendously controversial. In July, Comey had announced that Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless” but that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case against them.

    Writing to Congress on Sunday, Comey said: “Since my letter, the FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation.

    “During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state.”

    He concluded: “Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton. I am grateful to the professionals at the FBI for doing an extraordinary amount of high-quality work in a short period of time.”

    Clinton was aboard her campaign plane when the news broke, as was the case with Comey’s first letter nine days ago. Jennifer Palmieri, a spokeswoman for the campaign, made a brief statement to reporters.

    “We are glad to see that [Comey] has found, as we were confident he would, that he has confirmed the conclusions that he reached in July and we are glad that this matter is resolved.”

    Aides could be seen huddling toward the front of the plane and reading from an iPad as reports of Comey’s letter came through. Palmieri was seen to enter Clinton’s cabin at very front, shielded by a curtain, moments before she spoke to the press.

    Leaving the plane in Cleveland, roughly 30 minutes after Comey’s announcement, Clinton ignored a reporter’s question about whether she had seen the letter.
    When the letter was released, Trump was speaking in an airplane hangar in Minneapolis, to deafening cheers from an enthusiastic crowd. He did not mention the letter, instead continuing to rail against his Democratic rival.

    “Hillary Clinton will be under investigation for a long, long time, likely concluding in an indictment,” he said to loud chants of “lock her up” from the crowd. “It’s a rigged system and she’s perfected it … She’s protected by a rigged system and she shouldn’t be allowed to run for president.”

    Earlier, Trump told a cheering crowd in Sioux City, Iowa: “There is little doubt FBI director Comey will be able to garner more then enough evidence for indictments against Hillary Clinton despite her efforts to disparage and discredit the FBI.”

    He added: “If she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation we could very well have sitting president under federal indictment and facing criminal trial.”

    The new emails were discovered on a laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner, a former congressman and New York mayoral candidate who is the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, a close aide to Clinton. Weiner is under investigation for allegedly exchanging sexually explicit messages with a minor.

    Comey’s first letter surprised both campaigns and cast the FBI into the middle of an acrimonious and volatile race. Senior Democrats accused Comey of political meddling, Clinton said she found the letter “deeply troubling” and Trump gleefully predicted the emails would reveal a corruption scandal “bigger than Watergate”.

    Department of Justice officials expressed surprise that Comey would break with decades of tradition regarding investigations and elections. Leaks from within the agency revealed acrimony and political rifts within the FBI, and Comey’s letter appeared to reinvigorate Republican opposition to Clinton.

    Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said on Sunday Comey’s letter should end “once and for all” accusations that Clinton had committed any crime.

    “While the original letter should never have been sent so close to an election,” Schiff said, “the expeditious review of these emails should put to rest the irresponsible speculation indulged in by the Trump campaign and others.”

    Republican House speaker Paul Ryan was unrelenting in his criticism of Clinton, saying in a statement: “Regardless of this decision, the undisputed finding of the FBI’s investigation is that Secretary Clinton put our nation’s secrets at risk and in doing so compromised our national security. She simply believes she’s above the law and always plays by her own rules.”

    Ryan, who has endured a difficult relationship with Trump, went on to say: “Fortunately, the American people have the opportunity to ensure Secretary Clinton never gets her hands on classified information again. Let’s bring the Clinton era to an end by voting for Donald Trump on Tuesday.”

    The FBI said it had nothing to add to Comey’s letter. Yet while the immediate drama has ended, Comey remains in a precarious position.

    John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House judiciary committee, signalled political battles to come, saying: “We will have many questions about the FBI’s handling of this investigation.”

    Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat on the Senate intelligence and judiciary committees, said the end of what she called Comey’s “October surprise” made his decision to intervene “even more troubling”.

    Feinstein called on the justice department to “look at its procedures to prevent similar actions that could influence future elections”.

    Just the fact that all emails were forwarded to a shared device AND hillary forwards all to abedin's yahoo account in her own name that anyone could hack is more than enough to be charged for risking classified info can be in bad hands.

    And the story of hillary having her maid print out emails at her request, weiner and the maid do not have security clearance - neither does chelsea and she rec'd classified info all the time from hillary. dopey chelsea even discussed things with others too.

    All corrupt, not worth a wooden nickel and get away with it - disgraceful.

    I agree Jean, it just shows:

    COMEY'S GOTTA GO!!!

    What these stupid crooked elites don't understand is there are at least 50 solid, valid reasons to vote for Trump even if Hillary was an Angel in her conduct. He's not winning because she's a crook, he's winning because he knows how to fix our country, wants to fix our country and has what it takes to get it done.

    SAVE OUR NATION!!

    FIX OUR COUNTRY!!

    END THE CORRUPTION!!

    COMEY'S GOTTA GO!!!

    VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!

    FBI director: No charges after new review of Hillary Clinton emails

    FBI director: No charges after new review of Hillary Clinton emails

    6 Nov, 2016 20:41

    FBI Director James Comey has told Congress that a new investigation by his agency of Hillary Clinton's private email server has not unearthed any information that would warrant any charges being brought against the Democratic candidate.

    Saying that his team "has been working around the clock," studying emails on a laptop belonging to the husband of an aide of Hillary Clinton's, Comey claimed the review of the additional material "from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation" did not change the investigators' previous
    conclusion regarding Clinton's email practices.

    In July, the FBI said no charges were warranted in the case of the former secretary of state concerning her use of a private email server.

    [We] have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton," Comey wrote in his letter on Sunday.

    Since late October, the FBI director has found himself in hot water following his announcement of new "appropriate investigative steps" in the months-long investigation into Clinton’s use of a private server while she served as America's secretary of state.

    The FBI then obtained a search warrant that allowed it to scour through some 650,000 emails discovered on a laptop belonging to ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner and apparently also used by his wife, Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin.

    Reps & Dems square off over emails review


    Commenting on the announcement that there would be no charges, Clinton's campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri told reporters they were "glad that this matter is resolved."

    Earlier Sunday, the chairman of Clinton's campaign, John Podesta, accused the FBI chief of revealing the new investigation in the first place by calling it a "mistake."

    "I think the men and women of the FBI are doing a tremendous job out here across the country, but the leakers should shut up," Podesta said in an interview with NBC News' Meet the Press.

    However, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) remained unfazed by the announcement, saying that the latest review does not change the fact that classified information was “placed at risk.”

    Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway pointed out that despite the clearance given by the FBI to Clinton, the agency has not changed its previous conclusions.

    “This means she still was reckless and careless, still lied about classified info,”
    she tweeted.

    RNC reaction to news FBI is not changing its conclusions after reviewing newly-discovered Clinton emails:
    1:38 PM - 6 Nov 2016


    The RNC chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that findings from the FBI’s criminal probe into Clinton’s use of private email server showed “a damning and unprecedented indictment of her judgment,” adding that the FBI investigation proved that she “placed highly classified information at risk and repeatedly lied to the American people.”

    Commenting on the FBI director’s letter, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan also said that Clinton “put our nation’s secrets at risk and in doing so compromised our national security,” citing the “undisputed finding” of the FBI’s probe.

    Comey must be under enormous political pressure to cave like this and announce something he cant possibly know.
    12:56 PM - 6 Nov 2016

    Another prominent Republican, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, alleged that Comey had given in to “enormous political pressure” by releasing the letter days ahead of the vote.

    “The destruction of James Comey by political pressure is painful to watch,”
    he tweeted.
