1) Why was James Comey
allowed to
oversee the Clinton investigation given the fact that he is personally
wealthy due to his association with the Clinton Foundation and former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?
2) Is it possible that the millions of dollars in James Comey’s
personal bank account, due to his private sector work that intersected
directly with the Clinton Foundation and former Secretary Clinton,
tainted the outcome of the investigation in any way?
First off, Comey is not a hard-charging “Republican lawman” as many
Members of Congress have referred to him. Comey became an Assistant US
Attorney for the Clinton administration in 1996. And get this: At the
time, Comey became good friends with Robert Mueller, the current
Special Counsel conducting the Russiagate witch hunt against President
Trump.
Comey and Mueller were described as “rising stars” in the Clinton
Justice Department when they were both mentored by (drumroll please…)
Eric Holder. Yes, that Eric Holder.
Here’s where things start to look really fishy. Comey took a break from
working in the Justice Department from 2005 until 2013. So what did he
do in that time? Well, he’s a lawyer, so one of the jobs he took during
his sabbatical from the DOJ was to serve as the lead counsel for
weapons contractor Lockheed Martin. As the main attorney for Lockheed
Martin, Comey was no doubt intimately involved in all of the weapons
contracts that the company procured through the State Department and
the Pentagon.
In 2010 — while Comey was working at Lockheed Martin — the company
donated $250,000 to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation. Bill
Clinton was paid $250,000 to deliver a speech in Egypt that year by the
American Chamber of Commerce (Lockheed Martin is a member of the
American Chamber of Commerce).
Just a few days before that speech, Lockheed received approval for two
new weapons contracts from the Clinton-run State Department. In fact,
over the course of that entire year, Lockheed Martin won approval for
17 separate weapons contracts that needed approval from the State
Department.
Lockheed Martin paid James Comey $6 million for his services in 2010.
But Comey’s private sector work that rubbed up against the Clinton
Foundation didn’t stop there.
