A few days ago President Trump said that the Department of Justice advised former FBI director James Comey not to answer certain questions during the House deposition.
Trump stated: “It is being reported that Leakin’ James Comey was told by Department of Justice attorneys not to answer the most important questions. Total bias and corruption at the highest levels of previous Administration. Force him to answer the questions under oath!”
Now, it’s being reported that Comey gave up some information that Hillary & Democrats surely won’t like. Comey admitted that the FBI used the anti-Trump dossier that the Hillary campaign & the DNC paid for as evidence for a FISA warrant request.
Via the Daily Wire:
“James Comey, the former FBI director fired by President Trump after he botched the handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation, testified in a closed-door meeting Friday in front of congressional leaders, and some of his responses, including his repeated claims of lack of knowledge or recall, have caused a stir. Perhaps most notable of his comments is his admission that FBI officials had not verified the information in the notorious Democrat-funded Steele dossier when they used it to obtain a FISA warrant for a Trump associate.
On Friday, Comey acknowledged under oath that the FBI used an uncorroborated document funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC as “evidence” in officials’ request for a FISA warrant to surveil Trump adviser Carter Page, a key step in the Russia collusion “witch hunt,” as Trump calls it. Not only was the dossier, produced by ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, not verified when it was used in the Carter request, Comey admitted, it was still unverified when he was fired six months later.
The Hill’s John Solomon, who has been closely following the developments in the Russia probe, highlights the “enormity” of Comey’s bombshell acknowledgment that his “investigative team (in the form of the Steele dossier) and his general counsel James Baker (in the form of evidence from a Democratic Party lawyer) accepted politically tainted evidence to further the probe of Trump.”
“Everyday Americans now know that the FISA court process is an honor system and that the FBI may only submit evidence it has verified to the judges,” he writes. “Comey now has confirmed what Republican lawmakers like Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Rep. Mark Meadows(R-N.C.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have warned about for months – that the FBI used an unverified dossier, paid for by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party as political opposition research, to justify spying on the duly nominated GOP candidate for president just weeks before Election Day.”
Comey also admitted to committee members that he never bothered to direct FBI agents to ask Hillary Clinton about the infamous tarmac meeting between Bill and Attorney General Loretta Lynch despite stating publicly that the meeting “bothered him so much he made insubordinate move to cut Lynch out of plans to clear Hillary,” Perry notes.”
President Trump shredded Comey for “not remembering” answers to questions when he was being grilled by House members:
“On 245 occasions, former FBI Director James Comey told House investigators he didn’t know, didn’t recall, or couldn’t remember things when asked. Opened investigations on 4 Americans (not 2) – didn’t know who signed off and didn’t know Christopher Steele. All lies!”

Trump went on:
“Leakin’ James Comey must have set a record for who lied the most to Congress in one day. His Friday testimony was so untruthful! This whole deal is a Rigged Fraud headed up by dishonest people who would do anything so that I could not become President. They are now exposed!”

With Comey’s revelation that the FBI used the Hillary-paid-for dossier to get the witch hunt started, it looks like Trump has been vindicated. The whole thing was an effort by Democrats to take Trump down because Hillary lost the election.
President Trump regularly calls fake news media the “enemy of the people.” I think he can add the Democrat Party to the list.
Share this if you want the witch hunt shut down & Hillary behind bars!
