Report: Comey Blocked FBI’s Investigation of Clinton’s Email Server

Tuesday, The Daily Caller reported on an interview transcript it obtained from “an intermediary who spoke to two federal agents” with the FBI last week in which it was stated that rank-and-file career agents of the bureau are frustrated by Director James Comey’s leadership.

The report states:

“This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have convened but was not. That is appalling,” an FBI special agent who has worked public corruption and criminal cases said of the decision. “We talk about it in the office and don’t know how Comey can keep going.”

The agent was also surprised that the bureau did not bother to search Clinton’s house during the investigation.

“We didn’t search their house. We always search the house. The search should not just have been for private electronics, which contained classified material, but even for printouts of such material,” he said.

“There should have been a complete search of their residence,” the agent pointed out. “That the FBI did not seize devices is unbelievable. The FBI even seizes devices that have been set on fire.”

The report suggests that when Congress returns from its pre-election recess, the FBI agents are looking forward to their opportunity to be subpoenaed to testify about the environment at the bureau, and specifically the Clinton email investigation. Washington, D.C., attorney Joe DiGenova said he’s been asked to represent several agents.

“People inside the bureau are furious,” he told a D.C.-based talk radio program. “They are embarrassed.

“They feel like they are being led by a hack but more than that that they think he’s a crook. They think he’s fundamentally dishonest. They have no confidence in him. The bureau inside right now is a mess.

“The most important thing of all is that the agents have decided that they are going to talk.”
