Comey, Who Investigated Hillary Clinton For Using Personal Email For Official Business, Used His Personal Email For Official Business (buzzfeed.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Former FBI Director James Comey, who led the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of personal email while secretary of state, also used his personal email to conduct official business, according to a report from the Justice Department on Thursday. The report also found that while Comey was "insubordinate" in his handling of the email investigation, political bias did not play a role in the FBI's decision to clear Clinton of any criminal wrongdoing.
The report from the office of the inspector general "identified numerous instances in which Comey used a personal email account (a Gmail account) to conduct FBI business." In three of the five examples, investigators said Comey sent drafts he had written from his FBI email to his personal account. In one instance, he sent a "proposed post-election message for all FBI employees that was entitled 'Midyear thoughts,'" the report states. In another instance, Comey again "sent multiple drafts of a proposed year-end message to FBI employees" from his FBI account to his personal email account.

Comey is the quintessential empty suit and everyone in Washington knows it. Senator Graham toyed with him once during a hearing. He asked Comey if guns ordered on the Internet would be shipped to his house, avoided a background check. This is the director of the FBI employed during Fast and Furious; a person who should have detailed knowledge of FFL laws in the US. So what did he think?
"... I assumed it's shipped to you, but I don't know for sure actually ..."
Graham didn't pursue it. He knew what he was dealing with and was just amusing himself.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
Not only that, Comey WAS NOT BIASED, they found! "Comey 'broke norms but not biased' - agency watchdog report" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44488351
Quit lying. The report merely stated the IG couldn't find any evidence Comey was biased. That's not the same thing as saying he wasn't biased.
Given everyone thought Hillary was going to win, Comey's actions can easily be interpreted as a clumsy, biased attempt to whitewash the investigation into Hillary's blatantly illegal email server - after all, why would you piss off the next President? But if you go public with data just a few days before an election she wins anyway - you give the impression of being transparent.
Because, get this:
IG refers five FBI employees for investigation, as more anti-Trump messages revealed
Yep - five FBI agents in the Hillary email investigation are demonstrably biased against Trump - and that was the same group that handled the "Russia investigation" that's the foundation of Mueller's "Russia! Russia! Russia!" collusion investigation.
This IG report rips the roots right out from under Mueller.
Because do you really think that if this office tossed protocol and procedure out the window in order to exonerate Hillary, they didn't do the same in order to frame Trump?
So if Mueller actually does have anything on Trump (almost certainly nothing at all - given Mueller keeps charging his witnesses with process crimes that destroy their credibility as witnesses, and given anything on Trump would have been leaked by Mueller's partisan clown posse by now...), it's going to be fatally tainted.
And Mueller doesn't have anything anyway.
