Clinton, Comey, Lynch and Mills oh my!

THE CLINTON/COMEY/LYNCH/MILLS CIRCUS

Most of the country first heard of James Comey when he was appointed as FBI Director by Barack Obama.  Some only heard of him during the Hillary Clinton email scandal during the 2016 election campaign.  However, the Clintons had known him for years, in fact a couple of decades.  Let's talk a walk through the time line, shall we?

Comey's first brush with Clintons came in 1996 when he was assigned as Deputy Special Council during the Whitewater investigation.  Comey, reportedly, found some pretty damning evidence of wrongdoing by the Clintons including mishandling of documents, destruction of documents and a host of other charges...yet the Clintons, mysteriously, walked away mostly unscathed (except, perhaps in the court of public opinion).

The whitewater investigation over, Comey parlayed his role in it over the next few years until in 2002 he became the top federal prosecutor in Manhatten. Fifteen years earlier, Comey, working in the same office he now worked in, had prosecuted Marc Rich.  Imagine his surprise when Bill Clinton pardoned him on his last day in office.

Of course, many of the pardon recipients had connections to the Clintons through donations to the Bill Clinton Presidential Library and Hillary's 2000 Senate Campaign.  Comey investigated it but conveniently found no wrongdoing.

Shortly after, Comey was appointed as, get this, Deputy Attorney General (the same position RR now holds) by George Bush.  During his time in that position he launched an investigation into the leaking of CIA Officer Valarie Plame's identity.

It was also during his time as DAG that he temporarily blocked the NSA's Stellar Wind program of collecting telephone metadata after going up against Alberto Gonzalez. This would not be the last time Comey and Gonzalez would lock horns.  In May of 2007, after Gonzalez had replaced John Ascroft atop the DOJ.  It was during that time that Comey testified before the Senate, in a public hearing, the details of the Stellar Wind program.  Funny how Snowden got slammed for exposing the NSA's spying programs when Comey did it first.

What some may not know is that Comey has fairly deep ties to the Clinton corruption machine, and their money.  First, James Comey hold the mortgage to his brother Peter's mansion.  Now, his brother Peter just so happens to work as an executive officer at DLA Piper which just so happens to be the law firm that files taxes for...drumroll please...the Clintons.  Can we say conflict of interest?

Now, flashback to 1996 when James Comey was appointed as DAG in the Whitewater scandal where, again, the Clintons came out unscathed despite several others involved being charged with over 40 crimes.  Comey, supposedly, decided not to persue charges against the Clintons, even though he acknowledged that they had obstructed the investigation and destroyed evidence because of 'lack of intent' (sound familiar, it should).  Flash forward 23 years and Comey again gets HRC off the hook because of, you guessed it, lack of intent.

Now, let's go back a few years and have a look at the career of James Comey.  After leaving the Justice Department in 2005, he went to work in the private sector as General Counsel for Lockheed Martin.  When Comey left Lockheed Martin in 2010 he had been paid over $6 million (hell of a salary for only 5 years, eh?).

Immediately after leaving Lockheed, Comey became a partner in...drumroll please...The Clinton Global Initiative and was awarded 17 contracts by HRC's State Department.  Also during this time, Comey joined the Board of Directors at HSBC Holdings, a British Bank and longtime partner of...drumroll..The Clinton Foundation.

With these kinds of ties to the Clintons, is it any wonder that HRC walked scott free on the email scandal? No matter how you slice it, mix it, throw it in the oven and bake it, Comey not recusing himself during the HRC email scandal was a serious conflict of interest.

About Loretta Lynch.

From 199-2001 Lynch was U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.  A post Obama reappointed her to in 2009.

Loretta Lynch work for Hogan and Hartson Lawfirm from 2001-2010 during which time the law firm had taken over the filing of the Clinton's taxes.  It was also during this time that the law firm worked in the patent for MX Logic software that HRC used on her private email server.

Loretta Lynch was also the lawyer that prosecuted a money laundering case involving HSBC Bank (you know, the one Comey was working at).  Through shrewed tactics she managed to not win the case which saw the bank only paying a fine in the end. Not a single banker ended up going to prison.

In 2015 Obama appointed Lynch as Attorney General, making her James Comey's boss.  Intresting positions considering they had crossed paths before during the HSBC proceedings.

And let's not forget the meeting on the Tarmac between her and Bill Clinton.

It is also worth noting that Lynch just so happens to be a long-time friend of Eric Holder's wife (you know, the fast and furious guy).

Cheryl Mills

Ah, Cheryl Mills, long time associate of the Clintons (dating back to...can you guess?...Whitewater).  She was Attorney for the Clintons during Whitewater, the Lewinsky scandal and a host of other 1990s Clinton legal issues.  She became Chief of State under HRC's State Department in 2009.

So, it would seem, HRC, Comey Lynch and Mills have been around each others circles for at least two decades.  Is it any wonder HRC and BC have managed to get away with so much for so many years?
