The Interview

FBI seal, J. Edgar Hoover Building¹

FBI Director Comey informed today's House oversight committee hearing on Capitol Hill that he was not present for the long awaited "interview" of the former Secretary of State, nor was she under oath, nor was the session recorded, nor was session transcribed, nor was he certain he spoke with the agents conducting the "interview."

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz cut to the chase: “Did Hillary Clinton lie?” “To the FBI?" Comey queried, concluding with "We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI.” This was painfully obvious at that point in the hearing. Yet, without the aforementioned protocols, Comey gave the House the implausible assurance that "it’s still a crime to lie to us.”



The Director, some weeks ago, reprimanded Clinton's use of the euphemism “security review,” rather than the FBI appropriate word “investigation.” However, it now appears that the FBI conducts "interviews" not “investigations,” to which, Hillary has no objection!

"And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey" (cf. Isaiah 59:14-15).
