Fitzgerald, and Comey knew from the beginning the identity of the leaker, Colin Powell\u2019s assistant Richard Armitage. While both Armitage and Powell continued their duplicitous silent assent to damaging W\u2019s second term, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenewamerican.com\/reviews\/opinion\/item\/10903-the-truth-about-the-valerie-plame-case-finally-emerges\">Comey did nothing<\/a> to stop this miscarriage.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Comey\u2019s reputation as an even-handed government lawyer isn\u2019t as fair-and-balanced as it would seem at first blush. His participation in the whitewash of the Clinton Whitewater cover up, when he was<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/4276988\/jim-comey-hillary-clinton\/\"> assistant counsel for the Senate Whitewater Committee<\/a>, was accompanied by a simultaneous assertion that the Clintons engaged in\u00a0 \u201ca highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Later, as U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, his Vidi aquam over the corrupt Bill Clinton pardon of Marc Rich, an alleged quid pro quo for campaign contributions, betrayed Comey\u2019s own role as a prosecutor working for Rudy Giuliani\u2019s successful conviction of Rich\u2019s tax evasion fifteen years earlier.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To what end was Comey\u2019s convenient and cynical equivocations? Mere warm-ups for his disgraceful tenure at the FBI.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Comey\u2019s fitness report while heading the FBI is a compendium of incompetence, and dissembling, beyond his blockade-running interference for Hillary\u2019s email felonies, and AG Loretta Lynch\u2019s deliberately compromising encounter with Bill Clinton on the Phoenix airport tarmac:<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>View the complete article including links and comments at:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/articles\/2017\/05\/trump_drops_bunker_buster_on_comey_and_the_deep_state.html\">http:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/articles\/2017\/05\/trump_drops_bunker_buster_on_comey_and_the_deep_state.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image reference, in addition to that cited directly on the photo &#8211; http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/us-drops-mother-of-all-bombs-in-afghanistan-according-to-reports-2017-04-13 ========================================================= Trump Drops Bunker Buster on Comey and the Deep State American Thinker by Geoffrey P.Hunt 5\/15\/2017 Excerpt: For all of his stage-crafted gravitas and preening, James &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/trump-drops-bunker-buster-on-comey-and-the-deep-state\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8104"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8107,"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8104\/revisions\/8107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wasobamaborninkenya.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
