This doesn't stink at all...
« on: May 10, 2018, 10:50:40 AM »
A government watchdog group revealed Thursday that former FBI Director James Comey was advised by senior FBI officials to seek Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s advice prior to testifying before “any congressional committee” about President Donald Trump’s campaign and its alleged collusion with Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election, according to new emails obtained by Judicial Watch reveal.

The Office of General Counsel stands ready to discuss with you in consultation with the Department of Justice and the Special Counsel, institutional privileges or prerogatives that may be presented by any such testimony.


The actual email doesn't seem to match the intent of the headline. If there was an ongoing investigation, and there was, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to consult with the investigator to insure there was no contamination of that investigation. But the email doesn't even go that far. It talks about timing, privileges or prerogatives that may be presented.


While there could very well have been unethical conspiracies between the FBI and Mueller to destroy Trump, this email doesn't indicate that
