FBI's Comey: lies and more lies....

In July, the NYTimes revealed that Trump's campaign manager, Paul Mantafort, has been getting kickback payments from Ukraine from the now ousted President. On the 19th, Mantafort "resigns" and another Trump advisor tweets that DNC hack John Podesta will soon be targeted. Random or calculated?

On July 19th, " Then-Senator Jeff Sessions, along with two Trump campaign advisers JD Gordon and Carter Page, meet Russia's ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak at the Global Partners in Diplomacy event staged by the Heritage Foundation. "Much of the discussion focused on Russia's incursions into Ukraine and Georgia," according to delegate Victor Ashe.

"In late July, the FBI opens its investigation of ties between the Trump campaign and Russia:

"FBI Director James Comey said on Monday during a public hearing before the House Intelligence Committee that the bureau opened its investigation into Russia's interference in the US election in July and concluded by December that Russia had interfered to "hurt" Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and "help" President Donald Trump." businessinsider

This disclosure was made on March 20, 2017, more than 4 months after the election and 7 months after it was begun; yet Comey said that he did not disclose the Trump investigation because it was in its early stages. Lie or bad memory?

So I ask: if Comey was sickened by the very suggestion that his disclosure of the investigation into Clinton a week before the election might have affected the election, and that concealment would have been catastrophic, why did he then conceal the investigation into Trump which began back in July, more than 3 months before the investigation? And why did he only disclose it 5 months after the election when the harm had already been done?

Such hypocrisy befits the public face of the Deep State. If we translate it into plain English, this is what we get: The FBI deliberately disclosed an investigation into Clinton, which according to the ABC poll (ABC polling has an A+ ranking at 538), made 1 in 3 voters "less likely to vote for Clinton" in an election decided by 100,000 votes, while concealing the investigation into Trump, with much more profound allegations and dating back nearly 4 months before the election.

The defense that "concealment" of the Clinton allegations (much less serious, in fact) was unacceptable proves to be a naked lie given that the Trump investigation, which is now 9 months old, was not revealed until March 20 of this year. So the catastrophe Comey spoke of, if he had not selectively disclosed the Clinton investigation, can be no other than that the plan to defeat Clinton would have failed.

Conclusion: James Comey is a bald-faced liar who helped elect Trump, most likely in order to defeat the despised Clinton and be able to blackmail Trump in order to control him. This is the way the Deep State operates. Trump is a bald-faced liar for claiming the rumors of ties to Russia were "fake news" when he knew that the FBI had the goods not only on Clinton but even more seriously on Trump and his ship of fools. Hillary Clinton, whom I have despised for 25 years now, has told the truth that without the Comey selective disclosures and concealment of the much more serious charges against the Trump campaign, she would today be President.

The evidence that the feuds between Trump and Comey are trumped up is that Trump reappointed Comey to lead the FBI. The best way to cover up collusion is to stage fake feuds.

Anyone who looks at the evidence about the links between the Trump campaign and policy decisions about Ukraine and the concealment by the FBI will, if they can look beyond their personal feelings, come to the same conclusion. The idea that the FBI orchestrated a coup is so outrageous that many cannot believe it could be true. On the other hand, the idea that the deliberate selective disclosures of Clinton's investigation while concealing Trumps did NOT affect the election, is even more absurd.
