THE CONTINUING FARCE – AT 8:06 A.M. ET:  As we run our election campaign, Congress continues to inquire into the strange FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton and her band of merry aides.  It is weird, and disturbing.  We may well elect a president whose main claim might actually be, "I got away with it."  From the New York Post: 

It’s bad enough that FBI Director James Comey agreed to pass out immunity deals like candy to material witnesses and potential targets of his investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illegal private e-mail server.

But now we learn that some of them were immunized despite lying to Comey’s investigators.

In the latest bombshell from Congress’ probe into what’s looking more and more like an FBI whitewash (or coverup) of criminal behavior by the Democratic nominee and her aides, the Denver-based tech who destroyed subpoenaed e-mails from Clinton’s server allegedly lied to FBI agents after he got an immunity deal.

That’s normally a felony. As a federal prosecutor, Comey tossed Martha Stewart in jail for it and helped convict Scooter Libby for it as well. Yet the key Clinton witness still maintained his protection from criminal prosecution.

With Comey’s blessing, Obama prosecutors cut the deal with the e-mail administrator, Paul Combetta, in 2015 in exchange for his full cooperation and honest testimony. But the House Judiciary Committee revealed Wednesday that he falsely told agents in a Feb. 18 interview that he had no knowledge that e-mails he bleached from the server were under congressional orders to be preserved as evidence.

COMMENT:  I can't wait for this election year to be over.  Then we can plan for the next one.  What a cast of characters we have this year. 

The image of the FBI has been damaged, and Director Comey, well regarded in Washington, has been damaged as well.  When the Clintons touch you, this is what happens.
