Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Comey is as guilty as Hillary for treating government work product including top secret information as personal. Comey, just like Hillary, claimed the memos were all “personal” that he made talking to Trump because he did not trust him (contrary to his trust for Clintons). There is no such “personal” qualification and he leaked those memos to the New York Times which he admitted openly in Congress. But those memos contained classified information and that was a CRIME for him to leak them no less pretend they were he “personal” property.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Every FBI agent signed a confidentiality agreement as do traders working for a bank. The agreement signed by Comey states plainly: “all information acquired by me in connection with my official duties with the FBI and all official material to which I have access remain the property of the United States of America.” This means (1) he stole government documents obstructing any investigation of him, and (2) he then leaked classified information to the New York Times. Let’s see; they say Snowden should be indicted for the same thing. Curious!
This is why Comey never recorded Hillary’s “interview” before the FBI to ensure she could never be charged as Martha Stuart was for “lying to the FBI” in such an interview and sent to prison. Comey wrote private memos when talking to Trump, but not Hillary, and then leaked classified information to the New York Times releasing his memos. Legally, he should be prosecuted as they prosecuted Lewis “Scooter” Libby who was Dick Cheney’s chief of staff for leaking information.
In United States v. Libby, he was put on trial for interfering with special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s criminal investigation of the Plame affair by lying in an interview with the FBI for which he was indicted by a federal grand jury on five felony counts of making false statements to federal investigators. This is what Comey protected Hillary from by not recording the “interview” which is standard operational procedure. Libby served as Assistant to the President under George W. Bush and Chief of Staff to Dick Cheney from 2001 to 2005. Bush denied giving Libby even a pardon.
Then Comey granted immunity to Hillary Clinton’s lawyer Cheryl Mills to protect her against prosecution. In fact, Comey strikingly gave wholesale immunity deals to virtually every person who had intimate knowledge of Hillary Clinton’s illegal private server and emails. This protected Hillary for nobody would testify against her under threat of imprisonment. Comey abused his discretion and made sure that Hillary could not be prosecuted nor any of her staff.
There is now more than enough information to hand to a Grand Jury for Comey to be indicted the same as Libby. Comey stole government work product (memos) and who knows what else and that is a crime in itself. Then they had classified information – count #2. And he should be indicted to colluding with Hillary not to record her “interview” and then giving immunity to everyone around her obstructing justice. You give immunity to someone for testifying against someone – not on a wholesale agenda to cover everything up.
If Congress FAILS to prosecute Comey, then Trump should pardon Snowden!!!!!!!! What happened to “Equal Protection of Law” and where is “justice for all” we indoctrinate children to pledge in school? nIf Comey can walk on water, then so should Snowden.
Snowden should be pardoned irregardless. Snowden upheld his oath, Comey defied his.
“What happened to “Equal Protection of Law” and where is “justice for all” we indoctrinate children to pledge in school?”
Really? We all need to grow up. None of these nice little principles have existed for a very long time now. Power, money and narrative are ALL that matter now. Snowden will never be pardoned and Comey will never be indicted. Not because of right and wrong, but because the system is corrupt. Duh.
All comments and articles about how things should be or how the Constitution guarantees this or that are useless. We are not on a level playing field. Adjust accordingly.
To be fair, those things didn’t exist in the founding law of the land anyways.
Equality, all men being created equal, equal protection under the law for all Homo Sapien Sapiens… none of it is there at the start which means…
A man who built his his life on playing both ends against the middle.
An extraordinary weasel actually. Top of the heap.
There’s no way he pays a price. He’s a lackey for the deep state. He’ll skate as sure as the next high tide. He’s on the side that makes the ‘laws’ not has to live to them.

Re: article about hat. I hate that sob. Prosecute him. Then put him in with a bunk mate named De Leroy.
“If Congress FAILS to prosecute Comey”… uh Congress doesn’t get to prosecute any one. But DOJ does and while I am not holding my breath for real justice this was a good read. Unfortunately we do not have a justice system, we have a system of corruption. For the masses we have a system of corrupted laws and corrupted enforcers. The empowered are not to be held accountable, unless one is deemed worthy of sacrifice for the good of ‘Justice’ so we of the masses can be assured that all is well and good. Keep your arms close and your powder dry.
I am so tired of the Russian thingy, and the Clinton thingy, and all the minions surrounding the protection of the Clinton-Obama gang. The persecution nay crucifixion of our President is not going to end well for any of us. Maybe the man on horseback will save us. Oh wait, I forgot.

For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”

The DNC and the clinton campaign met with Ukrainian government officials at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington trying to expose ties between Trump, and his campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, Manafort resigned, but nothing to see there either, move along……..
Armstrong is wrong about 1 thing, unless this has changed recently. The FBI does not, in fact, typically record interviews between subjects and agents. From an internal memo: First, the presence of recording equipment may interfere with and undermine the successful rapport-building interviewing technique which the FBI practices. Second, FBI agents have successfully testified to custodial defendants’ statements for generations with only occasional, and rarely successful, challenges.
And: [A]s all experienced investigators and prosecutors know, perfectly lawful and acceptable interviewing techniques do not always come across in recorded fashion to lay persons as proper means of obtaining information from defendants. Initial resistance may be interpreted as involuntariness and misleading a defendant as to the quality of the evidence against him may appear to be unfair deceit.
the FBI policy on electronic recording of witness interviews is: “agents may not electronically record confessions or interviews, openly or surreptitiously, unless authorized by the SAC or his or her designee.” Instead FBI agents take notes and later type up a summary report called a form 302.
Ordinarily, this practice would obviously be used to railroad people, since who are people going to believe, some guy charged with a crime by the illustrious FBI, or a stellar, above reproach FBI agent? (To be clear, I was being somewhat sarcastic, as the FBI has lost much of the previous reputation with this clinton affair and others). But, in cases like this, there is no recording, anywhere, and the FBI agents can essentially write down whatever they want on the summary, including to say that Clinton did nothing wrong. Hell, there may not have even been much of an ‘interview’. The outcome of that case was decided long before any investigation was begun in earnest anyway. That was all just kabuki theater for our benefit, to continue the fantasy that there is equal application of the law with people like killery.
“In fact, Comey strikingly gave wholesale immunity deals to virtually every person who had intimate knowledge of Hillary Clinton’s illegal private server and emails. This protected Hillary for nobody would testify against her under threat of imprisonment.”
That is a stupid statement. Immunity deals are given to remove the threat of prison to intice someone to testify, not to later threaten them with prison. The only way an immunity deal would land you in prison is if you intentionally withheld information from investigators after pledging to testify/provide information/evidence by signing the immunity agreement.
Face facts , Comey is an Obamanite with his nose so far up Loretta Lynch’s ass he can smell Bill Clinton’s dick
