What James Comey And Hillary Clinton Ironically Share When It Comes To Inspector General Reports
Hillary Clinton was put under the microscope of the FBI during the 2016 election. Her email fiasco was in full bloom. She had an unauthorized homebrew server that was unsecured and was infiltrated multiple times while serving as secretary of state. It had classified information on it. A couple of those emails were marked classified at the time they were sent/received. The woman who could’ve been president had reportedly mishandled classified information. It’s a news story. It rehashed the old criticisms of the power couple from the 1990s. It’s not the throwback moment you want—and Comey torched the former first lady and now-two-time presidential loser, describing her actions concerning handling this information, along with her staff, as “grossly negligent.” Clinton got trashed—big league. And rightfully so since she thought the rules didn’t apply to her.
And yet, now we have James Comey also being dragged through the mud because…he thought the rules didn’t apply to him. Talk about Hillary getting revenge, albeit indirectly, and both share that inspector generals have both trashed them and exposed them for the lies that they peddled. At the State Department, the IG report torched the Clinton narrative that her unsecured server was approved and that she had received permission when in fact, Clinton hadn’t done that; she also would have been denied such a system if she had asked. . .
These memos got the special counsel wheels moving and soon Robert Mueller was tapped to lead (for lack of a better term) a two-year witch-hunt that produced zero solid evidence that the Trump team and the Russians colluded during the 2016 elections. And yet, Comey told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he wasn’t a leaker and that he never violated FBI department policy. So, like Clinton, his narrative just got torpedoed. This ironic intersection where Clinton and Comey meet is interesting. You can’t make this up. They both oppose Trump, they both thought the rules didn’t apply, they both got ripped by the media and their respective inspector general’s offices. This town, they say when it comes to D.C. intrigue and hypocrisy. Yes, this town is the undefeated champion in that cesspool contest.
