FBI: Criminal Investigation Into Clinton ‘Imminent’ Following Comey Departure(?)

There is some talk about this this morning. From Yournewswire.com:

The firing of FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday has “cleared the pathway” for the Justice Department, headed by Jeff Sessions, to relaunch an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified data while she served as Secretary of State, according to insiders at the bureau.

[…]

Comey’s congressional testimony last week, in which he made false statements later corrected by the FBI, was the final straw for the Trump administration.

The sight of the FBI Director admitting that Hillary Clinton broke the law, and then insisting that she will not be prosecuted because of a lack of intent, was too much to bear.

“I do think Director Comey was compromised,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said to Fox on Wednesday. “And the President made a presidential decision.”

Following the link to Fox we find it takes us to ABC affiliate WCVB where the headline is:

“‘Director Comey was compromised’: Paul Ryan speaks on former FBI director”

They quote a Fox News report:

Paul Ryan on Wednesday addressed former FBI Director James Comey’s departure. Speaking to Fox News, the Speaker of the House said Donald Trump ultimately made the right call.

“I do think Director Comey was compromised,” Ryan said. “And the President made a presidential decision.”

Ryan did not go on to explain just How he thought Comey was compromised. Even Professor Jacobsen at Legal Insurrection is asking, “With Comey out of the way, will Hillary now be prosecuted?”

All this begs a question. If Comey was compromised, who compromised him? The first link above assumes he was covering for Mrs. Clinton. Speaker Ryan just say he was ‘Compromised’.

Is it possible that Comey was the link between Russia and the surveillance and hacking?
