Documents Show Former FBI Director Comey Edits Revealed: Remarks on Clinton Probe were Watered Down
COMEY AND THE FBI WERE BIAS AND CORRUPT AS HELL …
America, people need to go to prison for what was done and sorry Democrats, its not Donald Trump. Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said he had obtained from the FBI the draft remarks in which Comey laid out the FBI’s basis for declining to recommend criminal charges against Clinton and her aides.
Newly released documents obtained by Fox News reveal that then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft statement on the Hillary Clinton email probe was edited numerous times before his public announcement, in ways that seemed to water down the bureau’s findings considerably
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to the FBI on Thursday that shows the multiple edits to Comey’s highly scrutinized statement.
In an early draft, Comey said it was “reasonably likely” that “hostile actors” gained access to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account. That was changed later to say the scenario was merely “possible.”
Another edit showed language was changed to describe the actions of Clinton and her colleagues as “extremely careless” as opposed to “grossly negligent.” This is a key legal distinction.

Harvard CAPS-Harris Survey?: 54% Say Special Counsel Robert Mueller has Conflict of Interest
NOW THEY FINALLY THINK THAT MUELLER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST? HE HAD ONE WHEN HE WAS NAMED THE SO-CALLED INDEPENDENT SPECIAL PROSECUTOR …
According to The Hill, a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Survey is out that shows that a majority of Americans believe that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has a conflict of interest. 54% responded that the “relationship” between the two amounts to a conflict of interest, which includes 70% of Republicans, 53% of independents and even 40% of Democrats. Really, how long have we been saying Mueller has a conflict of interest? It has been proved that the FBI and DOJ had a bias against Donald Trump and for Hillary Clinton. The Mueller special counsel was supposed to uncover collusion between Trump and the Russians. However, all we have learned is that there was collusion between the DNC and the Clinton campaign, Hillary/Obama, Uranium One and the Russians, the Russian dossier/Hillary/FBI, and the FBI involved in possible election meddling by the FBI, Be very careful what you ask for Democrats, you may not like the truth.
So much for the impeccable reputation of being a Boy Scout
A majority of polled voters say special counsel Robert Mueller has a conflict of interest because of his past ties to former FBI Director James Comey, according to the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey.
When asked if Mueller has a conflict of interest “as the former head of the FBI and a friend of James Comey,” 54 percent responded that the “relationship” between the two amounts to a conflict of interest, including 70 percent of Republicans, 53 percent of independents and 40 percent of Democrats.
“The special counsel has serious perception issues as a clear majority now see him as having a conflict of interest,” said Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris survey.
In the Harvard CAPS-Harris survey, a plurality of voters, 36 percent, said Trump and his allies are getting harsher treatment from the special counsel than Clinton and her aides received during the FBI investigation into her handling of classified material. Twenty-five percent said both parties are getting the same treatment, 24 percent are unsure and 15 percent said the president is getting more lenient treatment.
Comey cleared Clinton of wrongdoing and one of her top aides, Cheryl Mills, received an immunity deal during the investigation. Mueller’s probe so far has resulted in guilty pleas from former national security adviser Michael Flynn, as well as former campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, both of whom are cooperating with the special counsel. Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and one of his top aides, Richard Gates, face a litany of serious charges pertaining to alleged financial crimes.

EPIC … Rep. Trey Gowdy Rips Rosenstein About DOJ, FBI Corruption and Conflicts of Interest (VIDEO)
TREY GOWDY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ATTORNEY GENERAL …
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday morning and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) let his have it. Bob Goodlatte, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. called for the hearing after recent media reports revealed the political bias and motives of Special Counsel Mueller’s staff.
As Gowdy begins his grilling of Rosenstein … “What the hell is going on at the Department of Justice and the FBI!!!”
Trey Gowdy questioned the conflicts of interests in the DOJ, FBI and the Mueller Special Counsel. Gowdy pointed out the very reason for a Special Counsel is to avoid conflicts of interest then continues to outline all of the corruption and conflicts of interest with the associates in the Mueller investigation. The DOJ, FBI and Mueller Special Counsel is rife with conflicts of interest, collusion and corruption.
Mueller Probe ‘Conflicts of Interest’ Troublesome for an ‘Objective FBI’:
Congressman Trey Gowdy said the perceived conflicts of interest in Robert Mueller’s probe of President Trump hurt the FBI’s and DOJ’s standing in the public’s view.
“This was a really bad fact pattern,” Gowdy (R-S.C.) said of allegations of politically charged language or actions against Peter Strzok, Andrew Weissmann and Bruce Ohr.
“These are really bad facts if you believe in an impartial Department of Justice and FBI,” he said.
Gowdy grilled Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about “obsequious emails” sent by Weissmann to “a fact witness” later identified as outgoing Attorney General Sally Yates.

Clinton Mole & FBI Agent Peter Strzok Dismissed from Mueller Probe Changed Comey’s Description of Clinton to ‘Extremely Careless’
WHAT A SHOCK, A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR HILLARY CLINTON …
Just how much corruption was there in the Hillary Clinton email investigation? How does the pro-Hillary FBI agent Peter Strzok find his way on both the Hillary Clinton email server investigation and Robert Mueller’s witch hunt? Does anyone really wonder? And why didn’t Mueller inform everyone that one of the key investigators had such a conflict of interest? Mueller has a HUGE credibility problem. Mueller already had conflicts of interest in this investigation. Now it would seem impossible how this investigation could ever be impartial or credible. It was a witch hunt from the outset.
A former top counterintelligence expert at the FBI, now at the center of a political uproar for exchanging private messages that appeared to mock President Donald Trump, changed a key phrase in former FBI Director James Comey’s description of how former secretary of state Hillary Clinton handled classified information, according to US officials familiar with the matter.
Electronic records show Peter Strzok, who led the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server as the No. 2 official in the counterintelligence division, changed Comey’s earlier draft language describing Clinton’s actions as “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” the sources said.
The drafting process was a team effort, CNN is told, with a handful of people reviewing the language as edits were made, according to another US official familiar with the matter.The shift from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for “gross negligence.”
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, raised questions over why the change was made after receiving documents from the FBI last month, but the identity of who was behind the edit has not been reported until now.
CNN has also learned that Strzok was the FBI official who signed the document officially opening an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to sources familiar with the matter. As the No. 2 official in counterintelligence, Strzok was considered to be one of the bureau’s top experts on Russia.
But the news of Strzok’s direct role in the statement that ultimately cleared the former Democratic presidential candidate of criminal wrongdoing, now combined with the fact that he was dismissed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team after exchanging private messages with an FBI lawyer that could be seen as favoring Clinton politically, may give ammunition to those seeking ways to discredit Mueller’s Russia investigation.
