CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 2, 2019
PEOPLE ARE RIGHT TO BE CYNICAL ABOUT WASHINGTON AFTER THE CONCLUSION BY THE INSPECTOR GENERAL THAT FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY DID NOT COMMIT ANY INDICTABLE OFFENSES WHEN HE LEAKED MEMOES AND OTHER INFORMATION TO THE MEDIA.
JUDICIAL WATCH HAD THE MOST SUCCINCT STATEMENT ABOUT THIS: “THE IG REPORT CONFIRMS MR. COMEY IMPROPERLY KEPT FBI FILES ON PRESIDENT TRUMP AT HIS HOME AND THAT HE ILLICITLY LEAKED THESE FBI FILES TO THE NEW YORK TIMES IN ORDER TO ADVANCE HIS PERSONAL AGENDA OF GETTING A SPECIAL COUNSEL APPOINTED TO TARGET THE PRESIDENT. COMEY ALSO MISLED BOTH THE FBI AND CONGRESS ABOUT HIS HANDLING OF THESE DOCUMENTS. ON TOP OF ALL THAT, IN VIOLATION OF LAW, HE KEPT AND DISCLOSED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. IT IS BEYOND BELIEF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REFUSED TO PROSECUTE COMEY FOR HIS SERIES OF CRIMES, TO INCLUDE A SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY TARGETING PRESIDENT TRUMP.”
SHADES OF HILLARY CLINTON, WHO GOT A FREE PASS FROM COMEY WHEN SHE VIOLATED LAWS AND REGULARIONS PERTAINING TO HER HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN EMAILS TO PEOPLE NOT AUTHORIZED TO RECEIVE THEM. NO WONDER SO MANY PEOPLE ARE CYNICAL ABOUT WASHIBGTON. I’M CAL THOMAS.
