Hillary Aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin Lied In Interviews With Peter Strzok But, Get This, Neither of Them Were Charged With Any Crime
Thumbs firmly placed on the scales, and into the eyesockets, of justice.
The FBI agent who was fired from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation team for sending anti-Donald Trump text messages conducted the interviews with two Hillary Clinton aides accused of giving false statements about what they knew of the former secretary of state’s private email server.
Neither of the Clinton associates, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, faced legal consequences for their misleading statements, which they made in interviews last year with former FBI section chief Peter Strzok.
Specifically, both women claimed to not have learned about Hillary's secret server until after she left State -- but there are emails from both of them dating from as early as 2010 talking about the server they claimed they didn't know about.
The starkly different outcomes from Strzok's interviews -- a felony charge against Flynn and a free pass to Mills and Abedin -- are sure to raise questions from Republicans about double-standards in the FBI’s two most prominent political investigations. FBI Director Christopher Wray will likely be pressed on the Strzok scandal on Thursday when he attends an oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.
Despite clear evidence that they lied, straight-shooting lawman James Comey defended them to the hilt and claimed that these were just mere inconsistencies that didn't suggest any kind of deliberate lie.
Former FBI Director James Comey defended the Clinton aides' inconsistent statements in a House Judiciary Committee hearing held on Sept. 28, 2016.
"Having done many investigations myself, there's always conflicting recollections of facts, some of which are central [to the investigation], some of which are peripheral," Comey told Jason Chaffetz, a former Utah congressman who served on the committee last year.
Fire Mueller, fire Rosenstein, and impeach Comey retroactively to strip him of his pension.
