Comey May Have Tipped The Election To Trump Based On A Fake Russian Document

[christiefan915]

A troubling new report says that James Comey may have intervened in the 2016 presidential election because he was misled by fake Russian document about an agreement between the Clinton campaign and the Department of Justice on whether or not Hillary Clinton revealed classified information with her use of email.

“In the midst of the 2016 presidential primary season, the FBI received a purported Russian intelligence document describing a tacit understanding between the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Justice Department over the inquiry into whether she intentionally revealed classified information through her use of a private email server. Current and former officials have said that document played a significant role in the July decision by then-FBI Director James B. Comey to announce on his own, without Justice Department involvement, that the investigation was over.

That public announcement — in which he criticized Clinton and made extensive comments about the evidence — set in motion a chain of other FBI moves that Democrats now say helped Trump win the presidential election. But according to the FBI’s own assessment, the document was bad intelligence — and according to people familiar with its contents, possibly even a fake sent to confuse the bureau.”

The Russian meddling may not have been limited to spreading fake news and colluding with the Trump campaign. The Russians may have also passed along fake intelligence to the FBI to get Comey to intervene in the election. If this report is true, it raises serious questions about why the FBI would not take steps to verify the document before Comey ever held that disastrous July 2016 press conference. They are the FBI. They should never be taking intelligence documents obtained by a hostile foreign power at face value.

That's why he had to be fired. He's a chump.

Maybe if Hillary wasn't so anxious to reveal state secrets in exchange for donations to her family slush fund Comey would have never received such information. lol

I wonder if Trump's DOJ raided Comey's office right after he fired Comey while he was 3,000 miles away.

Maybe Trump found a "tape" in Comey's office.

"...according to the FBI’s own assessment, the document was bad intelligence — and according to people familiar with its contents, possibly even a fake sent to confuse the bureau. The Americans mentioned in the Russian document insist they do not know each other, do not speak to each other and never had any conversations remotely like the ones described in the document. Investigators have long doubted its veracity, and by August the FBI had concluded it was unreliable.

The document, obtained by the FBI, was a piece of purported analysis by Russian intelligence, the people said. It referred to an email supposedly written by the then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), and sent to Leonard Benardo, an official with the Open Society Foundations...

In the supposed email, Wasserman Schultz claimed Lynch had been in private communication with a senior Clinton campaign staffer named Amanda Renteria during the campaign. The document indicated Lynch had told Renteria that she would not let the FBI investigation into Clinton go too far, according to people familiar with it...

Wasserman Schultz and Benardo said in separate interviews with The Washington Post that they do not know each other and have never communicated. Renteria, in an interview, and people familiar with Lynch’s account said the two also do not know each other and have never communicated...

Moreover, Wasserman Schultz, Benardo and Renteria said they have never been interviewed by the FBI about the matter.
