Attkisson: Reminder: Here’s What Comey Originally Wrote About Clinton’s Emails

 

By JAMES BARRETT

In the wake of reports that fired FBI Director James Comey is getting reprimanded for his defiance of authority in his handling of the Hillary Clinton email case, former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who’s become a thorn in the side of the establishment media she once represented, issued a friendly reminder about what Comey originally wrote concerning Clinton’s “grossly negligent” handling of classified information.

In his original draft of his famous press conference announcing his recommendations not to charge Clinton for gross negligence in handling classified information, Comey originally wrote:

There is evidence to support a conclusion that Secretary Clinton, and others, used the private email server in a manner that was grossly negligent with respect to the handling of classified information.

But as Attkisson highlights, Comey’s top subordinates dramatically revised that statement to emphasize the alleged “intent” of Clinton and her team, which is irrelevant in gross negligence cases, and to replace the legal term “grossly negligent” with the less legally charged phrase “extremely careless”:

The statement comes as Trump was already feuding with Macron and Trudeau ahead of the world leader meeting in Canada.

President Donald Trump on Friday called for Russia to be reinstated into the group of the world’s largest economies, drawing the ire of both Democratic and Republican lawmakers and further inflaming tensions at the G-7 meeting in Canada.

“Now, I love our country. I have been Russia’s worst nightmare,” Trump said. “But with that being said, Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?”

His suggestion that the G-7 welcome Russia back into the fold is likely to heighten tensions in Quebec, where the president is expected to meet with allies irate over his decision to impose tariffs on imports from Canada and the European Union. In recent days, Trump has engaged in a war of words with French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The G-7, short for Group of Seven, was the G-8 until 2014, when the group’s members expelled Russia over its invasion and annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. The G-7’s current membership comprises the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain.

“I would recommend — and it’s up to them, but Russia should be in the meeting, it should be a part of it. You know, whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run,” Trump told reporters. “And in the G-7, which used to be the G-8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”

Watergate? Trump and Pence’s double act fuels conspiracies on social media

 

editor’s note:  anyone see this?  first DJT removes the water, then pence follows.  also of note – melania is there – very intriguing in a trench coat – love the look.  (fema meeting to discuss hurricane season – innocent enough…)  gave me chills and a big smile.  does this mean “off the table” – someone said water in german is wasser – a reference to d. wasserman?  notice how DJT also takes a napkin and places it on his lap.  he is so flipping brilliant in his symbolism and actions.  media is going to be up in a frenzy – msm likely saying “trump steals water at fema meeting”.  could be a troll move of distraction too…  also nice to know we have an actual sitting president who doesn’t answer to the v.p.  body language shows who is in charge….

The strange moment was captured on video, and soon went viral. Social media users were both mystified and amused by the double act, and no explanation has been given for the curious incident.

As reported earlier the first DOJ leaks on the upcoming Inspector General report does not look good for fired former Director James Comey.

The IG report found that Trump-basher Comey “defied authority” and was “insubordinate” in his behavior at the bureau.

But the leaks to ABC News also reveal that Obama Attorney General Attorney General Loretta Lynch was determined to hide evidence of Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing from the American public.

FBI agents found a trove of emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop as they were conducting an investigation into lewd text messages the disgraced politician exchanged with an underage teenager.

ABC News was given a draft of the IG report early for today’s announcements.

By Judson Berger | Fox News

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday that he’s canceled most of the chamber’s traditional August recess, citing Democrats’ “obstruction” and the need to pass spending bills.

In a brief written statement, he said: “Senators should expect to remain in session in August to pass legislation, including appropriations bills, and to make additional progress on the president’s nominees.”

McConnell’s announcement had been expected, as he’s faced pressure for weeks from fellow Republicans to keep members in session over the hot summer stretch.

Their appeal focused on the need to wrap up spending bills and confirm President Trump’s nominees to various positions. McConnell cited exactly that in his statement Tuesday.
