Hillary Clinton Responds to Report Comey Conducted FBI Business via Gmail: 'But My Emails'

Source: Mediate


by Tamar Auber | 5:55 pm, June 14th, 2018

Hillary Clinton has weighed in on the report that former FBI Director James Comey used his personal Gmail account to conduct FBI business.

According to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz‘s report, which dropped earlier today, Comey conducted “unclassified FBI business,” using personal email.

The report also found that his actions were “inconsistent with Department policy.” Kyle Cheney tweeted out the news Thursday afternoon.




In response, Clinton tweeted out a three-word response: “But my emails.”

And I'm frankly not talking about Republicans here as that's just their nature. I'm more angered by the way the media - and even some people on our side - have portrayed her over the years.

We're being lead around by the minority, when we could have had a true patriotic American leading us forward.

Fucking republicans!

Thank you Hillary for setting the record straight yet again!

The Republicans are so two-faced. Democratic politicians are too fair, too often. We need to start being firmer about protecting our own..and attacking the opposition, giving them no slack. Apparently that works.

He also tears up documents that he has read. They have multiple White House staffers who go behind him and tape together the documents he ripped up. Which means there is a good chance he's destroyed documents. As I doubt they caught everything he trashed. So he's probably violated the records acts a few times.

at some hearing in the future, "Well, we attempted to tape together documents he'd torn up. But we didn't always receive the torn up documents, so we don't know what is missing."

He is turning into a king. He openly disobeys the laws. No checks & balances system is working at this time.

His actions, however, probably played into the loss of Hillary's campaign.

and look the least biased as he could weighing all he thought he knew. I see that it was inevitably the wrong call. I would have probably done the same in his shoes, but then again I would never be in his shoes.

from people in the Inspector General's office to not say anything about re-opening the investigation into Clinton's emails after the Anthony Weiner computer fiasco. Since they had no idea what was on the computer and what the emails were about, he was advised to remain silent. Comey didn't. He opened his big mouth 11 days before the election and the rest is history.

I don't think you ,"would have probably done the same in his shoes" after receiving advice to not open his mouth. You're not that dumb, or partisan, whatever the case may be. Comey was a loose cannon with a big mouth, and although not in the same league as Trump when it comes to narcissism, he certainly like the sound of his own voice.

I can't quite believe he did it just to prove he was, "oh, oh — being fair and balanced." Not buying it. Not at all.

Well at least it's official. But plenty of us knew all along that the email scam was a witch-hunt and Comey was the self appointed Witchfinder General. And he's still lying 24/7, these days to save his butt from the criminal malfeasance trial he so richly deserves.
