More ‘attempted intrusions’ in voter databases — Federal Bureau of Investigation director

The U.S. government is not sure whether Russian Federation, which is said to have interfered in U.S. elections since the 1960s, aims to influence the outcome of the election or try to sow seeds of doubt about the sanctity of the process, Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper recently told The Washington Post in an interview.

The segment on Special Report opened up with fiery statements from two Republican representatives. They also voiced concern with the number of people who had been in the room with Clinton during her July FBI interview.

Comey also said the immunity was granted by the Justice Department.

“What are the lessons learned, and if you need additional support, we need to know about it very quickly”, Ayotte said at a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. We are not weasels, ” said Mr. Comey, who served as deputy attorney general under President George W. Bush.

Yes, a congresswoman tasked with questioning the FBI Director about his investigation into Clinton’s emails was wearing a pin for the Clinton campaign.

The liberal networks’ lack of coverage of the hearing proves that they are trying to move on from Clinton’s damaging e-mail scandal.

Comey explained that because Mills was not the target of the probe, Clinton was allowed to bring Mills with her to Clinton’s Federal Bureau of Investigation interview.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and other Republicans said Wednesday that an immunity deal for Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff, was improper and short-circuited a possible criminal prosecution.

Comey explained that part of the process includes a “queen for a day” procedure in which investigators talk to witnesses or potential witnesses to hear what they might say when testifying before deciding on whether to grant immunity. Partial and limited grants of immunity were given, he said, to get a laptop from a lawyer or testimony from a technology worker who otherwise refused to talk to investigators.

Comey pushed back against the criticism, telling Paul that he had his facts wrong in characterizing the FBI’s investigations into both Mateen and Rahami.

Comey said he suspects one reason is because Minnesota is one of the few areas in the country with a large concentration of people who may be susceptible to terror recruiting.

At a separate congressional hearing Wednesday, a Homeland Security official attempted to assuage concerns, saying the government has confidence in the integrity of the USA electoral system.

“Two months ago, Hillary Clinton, in talking about her emails, claimed that you said, and I quote, that, ‘my answers were truthful, ‘” Chabot said.
