FBI Failed to Record Hillary’s Interview or Administer a Sworn Oath


If ever there was an indication of a coverup, it was when Comey discussed the interview his agents conducted with Clinton. It would be reasonable to assume that if there was no crime and no attempt to lie to the agents, a recording of the interview, or at least of a transcript, would be released to the public. Nope, and no effort was made to even ensure that she would have some concern if she was shown to be spinning tales again.

Clinton did not swear an oath to tell the truth before meeting with the FBI for three and a half hours last weekend, and the interview was not recorded, FBI Director James Comey told House lawmakers on Thursday.

The lack of a sworn oath does not remove the possibility of criminal penalties against Clinton if she lied to the FBI, though he said he had “no basis to conclude” that she was untruthful.

FBI policy is not to record interviews as part of its investigations.

Yet the revelations will nonetheless raise questions among Republicans, who have been skeptical of the FBI’s investigation and have demanded to see the transcript of the former secretary of State’s interview in downtown Washington on Saturday.

Under FBI policy — and to the dismay of civil libertarians and staunch transparency advocates — the bureau does not conduct electronic recordings of interviews.

The FBI did, however, complete a federal form summarizing the interview, known as an FD-302, Comey said.

Comey himself was not among the “five or six” agents who interviewed Clinton, he testified on Thursday. But he assured lawmakers that Clinton told the truth throughout the session.

“I don’t think the agents assessed she was evasive,” he added.

We have been told all along that Comey is an independent straight-shooter who would tell the truth. In fact, the final outcome, with a secret, unrecorded meeting with Clinton by a few agents who may, for all we know, be Democrat plants, and then the Comey announcement that she was telling the truth in spite of her string of lies leading up to the final decision speaks volumes of the corrupting influence of Clinton. And in making up a new requirement that Clinton had to show intent to defraud or mislead when there are multiple cases of other government employees who had to pay a stiff penalty for mishandling secret documents without the standard of intent is a true miscarriage of justice and a slap in the face to the American people.

The only reasonable conclusion is that Comey was somehow taken in by the Clinton web of corruption. He must now resign, and perhaps be prosecuted. The Democrats are now celebrating, but the outcome of this very clear-cut case of illegal activities is a shame on this nation and a terrible lesson to our youth.

When Richard Nixon violated his oath of office, the FBI was front and center in investigating the crime, and many people in Nixon’s administration took up the case against him. That type of ethical response exists no more, and the Democrat party seems more than willing to support a felon into the Oval Office. The end of the United States as a beacon of correctness and leadership is not yet, but you can surely see the end from here.
