Deputy AG says he ‘cannot defend’ Comey’s handling of FBI’s investigation of Clinton emails

Posted by Farmboy @ 21:31 on May 9, 2017  

President Donald Trump terminated FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday at the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Sessions told Trump in a letter that he believes “a fresh start is needed at the leadership of the FBI.”

In a memorandum titled “Restoring public confidence in the FBI,” Rosenstein said he couldn’t defend Comey’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

“The Director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General’s authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution. It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement,” the deputy attorney general said.”
