The now former FBI director had multiple conflicts of interest pertaining to the investigation of Hillary's emails
When James Comey made the decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton regarding her egregious security breaches involving State department email accounts, many suspected hidden connections between the Clintons and Mr. Comey.
There exists plenty of openly available information describing the links between Comey, the Clinton Foundation, HSBC and Lockheed Martin. Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media largely ignored these glaring conflicts of interest surrounding the then FBI director.

HSBC
In late 2012, a record settlement was reached between the US government and HSBC for $1.9 billion. HSBC admitted to laundering money for Mexican and Columbian drug cartels. In exchange for the fine, the Department of Justice declined to pursue criminal charges against the banking giant.
Breuer (long time Clinton cohort) this week signed off on a settlement deal with the British banking giant HSBC that is the ultimate insult to every ordinary person who's ever had his life altered by a narcotics charge. Despite the fact that HSBC admitted to laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels (among others) and violating a host of important banking laws (from the Bank Secrecy Act to the Trading With the Enemy Act), Breuer and his Justice Department elected not to pursue criminal prosecutions of the bank, opting instead for a "record" financial settlement of $1.9 billion, which as one analyst noted is about five weeks of income for the bank.
The banks' laundering transactions were so brazen that the NSA probably could have spotted them from space. Breuer admitted that drug dealers would sometimes come to HSBC's Mexican branches and "deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, in a single day, into a single account, using boxes designed to fit the precise dimensions of the teller windows."
This bears repeating: in order to more efficiently move as much illegal money as possible into the "legitimate" banking institution HSBC, drug dealers specifically designed boxes to fit through the bank's teller windows. Tony Montana's henchmen marching dufflebags of cash into the fictional "American City Bank" in Miami was actually more subtle than what the cartels were doing when they washed their cash through one of Britain's most storied financial institutions.

“Mr. Comey’s appointment will be for an initial three-year term which, subject to re-election by shareholders, will expire at the conclusion of the 2016 Annual General Meeting.”

It’s like a revolving door of money and special projects that the bank and the CF are involved in.
FBI Clinton Email Investigation
After months long investigations into the Clinton Email Scandal Comey offers his conclusion that there was ** No Intent** in mishandling government information
From Comey’s statement:
Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.
In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.
True Pundit on FBI Investigation
- Lead FBI agent John Giacalone abruptly resigned in the middle of the investigation in February 2016.
- pay-for-play involving the Clinton Foundation were not properly vetted, ultimately white washed
- FBI agents were blocked from serving search warrants to retrieve key evidence
- FBI agents were not allowed to interrogate witnesses and targets without warning
- FBI agents had been trying to interview Clinton since December 2015, approval delayed by top brass
- FBI agents believed Clinton case was being “slow-walked” to run-out-the-clock
- FBI agents stunned that targets Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were permitted to sit in on Hillary Clinton’s FBI interview.
- Clinton and aides cited amnesia. In Clinton’s case she claimed due to medical complications.
- Attempts to secure Clinton’s medical records to confirm her head injury were sabotaged by FBI Director James Comey
The FBI case agents and support personnel are forbidden to “go public” or comment on the record to share their frustrations and dismay because they each signed an unprecedented confidentiality agreement prior to signing onto work the Clinton investigation. Violating that agreement would likely cost them their careers and pensions.
Abedin couldn’t remember much during her time at State, according to FBI documents, including how to consistently print documents or emails from her secure Dept. of State system. Abedin told FBI agents in an April interview that she struggled to print secure docs and emails from her secure PC. Instead, she would forward the sensitive emails to:
- Her personal Clinton.com email address
- Her personal yahoo.com address
- Her email linked to husband Anthony Weiner
Abedin said she would then access those email accounts via webmail from an unclassified computer system at the State Dept. and print the documents, many of which were classified and top secret, from the largely unprotected webmail portals. Clinton did not have a computer in her office on Mahogany Row at the State Dept. so she was not able to read timely intelligence unless it was printed out for her, Abedin said. Abedin also said Clinton could not operate the secure State Dept. fax machine installed in her Chappaqua, NY home without assistance.
Perhaps more alarming, none of the multiple FBI agents and Justice Department officials who conducted Abedin’s interview pressed her to further detail what were repeated and obvious violations of a host of federal laws.
