Under oath, testifying before Congress, former FBI director James Comey insisted that the decision not to recommend charges be brought against Hillary Clinton came after Hillary Clinton was interviewed by the FBI on July 2nd, 2016. It was a fact that he was adamant about in his testimony, yet now it is a fact that may have been have been proven completely false.
According to text messages between FBI officials that were released by the DOJ just days ago, it’s clear that members of the FBI knew with certainty that charges would not be filed against Clinton before her interview with the FBI took place. If this is indeed true and Comey did make the decision not to recommend charges before Clinton’s July 2nd interview, it stands in direct contrast with what the director told Congress under oath during his hearing.
Now, there’s a chance that Comey will be called in front of Congress to testify again in order to clarify his remarks. If he is unable to provide a good explanation for why the DOJ releases contradict his previous testimony, the former FBI director could be facing serious charges.
