Changes

President Obama exchanged emails with Secretary Clinton and knew of her use of an illegal server prior to the time he said he learned of it.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/01/hillary-clinton-barack-obama-emails-key-decision-not-indict-hillary/</ref> In early May 2016 Comey emailed his draft statement exonerating Secretary Clinton to FBI Deputy Director [[Andrew McCabe]], [[FBI General Counsel James Baker]], and FBI [[Chief of Staff]] [[James Rybicki]], even though only one year prior Bryan Nishimura was charged for a nearly identical situation. The reference to communicating with "the President" in the revised draft was changed to “another senior government official". However, in Comey's final public statement, even the reference to “another senior government official” was blotted out as too incriminating, and stricken altogether.

Comey met with President Obama on the morning of May 16, 2016;<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/katica-2.jpg</ref> by afternoon his revised draft was circulating among McCabe, Baker, Rybicki, [[Peter Strzok]], [[Bill Priestap]], [[Trisha Anderson]], [[Johnathan Moffa]], David Bowdich and others.<ref>[https://vault.fbi.gov/drafts-of-director-comeys-july-5-2016-statement-regarding-email-server-investigation/Drafts%20of%20Director%20Comeys%20July%205%2C%202016%20Statement%20Regarding%20Email%20Server%20Investigation%20Part%2001%20of%2001/view FBI Vault: Drafts of Director Comeys July 5, 2016 Statement Regarding Email Server Investigation Part 01 of 01].</ref><ref>http://thegatewaypundit.com/2017/12/386625/</ref> Obama intervened in the investigation when he publicly stated that Hillary Clinton showed “carelessness” in using a private e-mail server.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/10/obama-says-hillary-clinton-emails-did-not-endanger/ </ref><ref><small>"in April, 2016, President Obama gave an interview in which he seemed to have foreknowledge that Hillary Clinton would be exonerated for her “carelessness” and did not “intentionally” mishandle classified emails, words that Comey would use just a few months later...In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Mr. Obama seemed to prejudge the outcome of the ongoing inquiry into Mrs. Clinton’s email scandal, and he disputed the notion that any of the emails contained classified information of true importance. "She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy,” he said. “What I also know is that there’s classified and then there’s classified. There’s stuff that is really top secret top secret, and then there’s stuff that is being presented to the president, the secretary of state, you may not want going out over the wire.”…<br>...we now see how Obama’s pledge that politics would not taint the investigation was a bald-faced lie. This confidence in her exoneration was shared by Mrs. Clinton, who also seemed to have foreknowledge that the fix was in: The FBI is investigating the matter, and while Mrs. Clinton has virtually promised she will not be indicted, the scandal still hangs over her presidential ambitions...“That is not going to happen,” she told NBC News when asked if she would be indicted. “There is not even the remotest chance that it’s going to happen.”<br>''[[National Review]]'' Contributing Editor Andrew McCarthy has long argued that Obama was the ringleader in obstructing justice in the Hillary email investigation: "From the first, these columns have argued that the whitewash of the Hillary Clinton-emails caper was President Barack Obama’s call -- not the FBI’s, and not the [[Justice Department]]’s… The decision was inevitable. Obama, using a pseudonymous email account, had repeatedly communicated with Secretary Clinton over her private, non-secure email account....If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton -- Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges."<br>...a draft dated June 30, 2016 (i.e., five days before Comey delivered the final version), contained a passage expressly referring to a troublesome email exchange between Clinton and Obama. (I note that the FBI’s report of its eventual interview of Clinton contains a cryptic reference to a July 1, 2012, email that Clinton sent from Russia to Obama’s email address. See report, page 2.) The passage in the June 30 draft stated: ''We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including from the territory of sophisticated adversaries. That use included an email exchange with the President while Secretary Clinton was on the territory of such an adversary. [Emphasis added.] Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account.''<br>On the same day, according to a Strzok–Page text, a revised draft of Comey’s remarks was circulated by his chief of staff, Jim Rybicki. It replaced “the President” with “another senior government official.” So not only were edits made to Comey’s draft memo to hide Hillary’s guilt but also Obama’s involvement.<br>From the Strzok-Page text messages we know that Loretta Lynch knew Hillary would not be prosecuted. That meeting on the tarmac was to tell Bill Clinton the fix was in, a fix whose impetus came from the [[White House]] and an occupant concerned with both his legacy being erased by a President Trump but also by his involvement in covering up Hillary’s crimes....<br>This is [[Watergate]] on steroids. Not only do we have one party colluding with government agencies to keep its candidate from being prosecuted for her [[crime]]s and preventing the election of the other party’s candidate, but we also have a sitting and corrupt President using the powers of his office to subvert an election and hand-pick his successor.<br></small>[https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/01/obama__leader_of_the_deep_state_coup.html#.WnCBy6djFw9.facebook Obama -- Leader of the Deep State Coup, By Daniel John Sobieski, ''American Thinker'', January 27, 2018.</ref> Strzok struck Comey's original finding, "grossly negligent", and inserted Obama's "extremely careless."

Comey never investigated Hillary's willful destruction of documents. Comey later admitted the investigation was driven  by politics, and not the law, a desire to clear Hillary Clinton so she could win the Democratic nomination for president.

The same day the ''Intelligence Community Assessment'' was released, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and Adm. Rogers traveled to [[New York]] to brief President-elect Trump on the report. Comey asked for a one-on-one briefing with Trump at the end of the meeting. Without informing Trump of the true origins which Comey knew was [[Democrat]] and Clinton opposition talking points, Comey represented the "salacious" allegations to Trump as some sort of official US government intelligence report.

Comey’s testimony to Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector [[Michael Horowitz]] directly contradicts what he had sworn to Congress about his January 6, 2017 briefing of President-elect Trump.  Comey had testified to Congress that he was briefingPresident-elect Trump on the "salacious and unverified" ''[[Steele dossier]]'' "because we had been told by the media it was about to launch. We didn’t want to be keeping that from him. He needed to know this was being said. I was very keen not to leave him with an impression that the bureau was trying to do something to him.” Comey told the inspector general however that the information he obtained from his conversation with Trump “ought to be treated…[like] FISA derived information or information in a [counterintelligence] investigation.” <ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/comeys-trump-tower-meeting-was-used-for-fbis-counterintelligence-investigation_3064569.html</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLw-cdK827I</ref>

Comey conspired with Brennan, Clapper, and Obama to publicly embarrass the incoming president with false information.  The IC label as the source of the information in news reports gave the false information credibility in the eyes of the public.

In May 2017, Ciaramella was instrumental in helping generate the “Putin fired Comey” narrative.  A Ciaramella email the day after Comey's firing ended up in the media, which is reported to have allegedly called Comey “crazy, a real nut job.”
