A Coup at the FBI: James Comey Fired for Lying to Congress About Anthony Weiner Laptop (yes, it was the clintonemail.com backup)

by Scott Creighton (Happy Birthday to Me…)

The fake left are beside themselves this morning ranting about President Trump’s firing of the man Hillary Clinton said just last week caused her to lose the election. In no uncertain terms, Hillary said in an interview that had the election been held on Oct. 27th 2016, she would have won. FBI Director James Comey made his announcement about the Weiner laptop emails on Oct. 28th.

And now, here we are, less than a week later and the fake left is outraged that the man Hillary says cost her the election has been fired for mishandling the Clinton investigation.

Talk about Bizarro World.

On the surface, that is a hard one to understand but if you dig a little deeper you find, like most other things, it makes perfect sense.

President Trump fired James Comey yesterday by sending a short letter to the FBI main offices in D.C. and by sending him some sort of electronic communication. Comey was all the way on the other side of the country in L.A. attending a meeting. The FBI director left that meeting and rushed to his plane and flew back to D.C. as fast as he could.

In the short letter Trump was less than clear as to why he was firing Comey (emphasis mine)

Dear Director Comey:

I have received the attached letters from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the United States recommending your dismissal as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have accepted their recommendation and you are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately.

While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau. It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores the public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Donald J. Trump

The recommendations from Jeff Sessions and Deputy AG Rosenstein, dated yesterday, can be found here. They speak exclusively about Comey’s mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email server as the reason they felt they needed to remove him from office in order to preserve the integrity of the FBI.

Something else happened yesterday which is extremely relevant to this situation.

The FBI issued an official letter to congress regarding James Comey’s May 3rd 2017 testimony in which they say he “mispoke” regarding the Huma Abedin emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. That’s the same laptop that prompted James Comey’s Oct. 28th announcement that he had to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a personal server.

I myself wrote on  May 4th James Comey’s Explanation of the Clinton Emails on Weiner’s Computer is Total Absolute Bunk

You might recall, James Comey said that the Weiner laptop contained official State Department emails and communications from Huma and Hillary that, according to Comey, were forwarded to him by Huma so he could print them out. He said “thousands” of official documents, some clearly marked “classified”, were sent to him in this manner.

When pressed by members of congress as to why Huma hadn’t been arrested for mishandling classified material in this way, he said it was because they couldn’t determine there was an “criminal intent” on her part which is totally absurd.

I have been on record, since Nov. 2nd 2016, concluding that the Anthony Weiner laptop was not his personal laptop, but it was in fact the missing back-up laptop Huma and Hillary made of her complete record of her time serving as the Secretary of State and they made it just prior to taking the clintonemail.com server offline. I have said this laptop was the Holy Grail of evidence against Hillary Clinton because it contained all of the emails they turned in after being forced to and all those she deleted and hid from public record. Part of the reason for my conclusion comes from Huma Abedin’s own testimony.
