Callls for FBI Director Comey to RESIGN Over Total Sham of an Investigation
By Richard Pollock
FBI Director James Comey should resign, according to former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova, after giving immunity deals to Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff Cheryl Mills and four other aides in the investigation over the former Secretary of State’s use of a private email server for government business.
Matthew Whittaker, another former federal attorney, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Congress should know why the Clinton aides were “treated differently than any other investigation has ever been done.”
Mills got the immunity deal after refusing to let investigators examiner her computer, according to the Associated Press, which first reported on Friday the multiple agreements shielding key figures in the Clinton emails scandal from prosecution.
“This now gets to the point of a serious question as to the director’s fitness for office,” DiGenova told TheDCNF. He said a grand jury should have been convened and they should have issued a subpoena for Mills’ computer.
“You go to a federal judge, you get a grand jury subpoena and you fight that out. He didn’t want to do that. And neither did the Justice Department,” DiGenova said.
“The contours of this investigation are so embarrassing to the FBI because it is now clear that they immunized people who had criminal exposure and did not conduct a proper investigation before they gave immunity,” he said.
DiGenova called for Congress to hold hearings with Comey testifying under oath and to consider sanctions such as censorship or impeachment. Such a hearing is scheduled for Sept. 28, 2016, before the House Judiciary Committee.
DiGenova’s comments echoed the remarks by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the Utah Republican who is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Chaffetz revealed the immunity deals to AP, saying he was “absolutely stunned” the FBI granted multiple immunities to key potential witnesses.
Copies of the immunity agreements were provided to the oversight committee by the Justice Department this week under seal, according to Chaffetz.
“No wonder they couldn’t prosecute a case,” Chaffetz told AP. “They were handing out immunity deals like candy.”
DiGenova called the FBI investigation “a sham.”
“This was not a real investigation,” added DiGenova. “This was a ‘protected investigation’ designed to look like an investigation.” He called it a “politically corrupt investigation.”
Matthew Whitaker, another former U.S. Attorney, said he “was very frustrated” and he thought Congress should dig deeper into the handling of the Clinton email server case.
“I think it’s an appropriate role of Congress to ask why this group of Clinton people was treated differently than any other investigation has ever been done,” he said.
DiGenova also said he was surprised that given her immunity, the FBI allowed Mills to attend Hillary Clinton’s interview at FBI Headquarters.
“Not only was she given immunity, but she attended Hillary Clinton’s interview. It is the first time in history that an immunized witness has attended an interview of the ultimate target of an investigation. This is one of the single most embarrassing moments in the history of the FBI,” DiGenova said.
Besides Mills, John Bentel, former director of the State Department’s Office of Information Resources Management, and Heather Samuelson, Clinton’s executive assistant, received immunity, according to Chaffetz.
Brian Pagliano, who maintained the private server and then followed Clinton to the State Department was granted immunity earlier this year.
An employee at Platt River Networks also received immunity from prosecution. PRN maintained and backed up Clinton’s private server in her home and a backup server in New Jersey.
DiGenova was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and also served as the Independent Counsel in the Clinton’s passport case. Whitaker was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa.

It is a sham in this country that this government has allowed such criminal activity. As the 1st black President, obama, you were supposed to uphold this office with great respect. You failed in this priveleged office. You have already gone down as the Worst President in American history. Shame on you. Already giving hillarys staff who comitted Treason, pardons.
You are a joke of a muslim extremist. Hiding. You belong in prison with your wife. All your accounts need to be confiscated, with properties.
I agree 100% with you Nancy
Giving Immunity makes sense ( in some cases ), since without it the Prosecutor does not have enough evidence to prosecute the actual master mind!!
The Good example of such case is JOHN GOTTI and SAMMY THE BULL!!
The question of CORRUPTION, in this case, is beyond and above valid and should be investigated, since non of the given testimonies were used against the State Department’s JOHN GOTTI!
Actually, it seems like they were given this immunity for future protection and not for the purpose of getting HILLARY for her crimes!!!! COMEY HAS A LOTS OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!!
I’m waiting for the waterfall moment, which I’m sure is coming, not watergate WATERFALL! They are all hiding, and or destroying evidence that implicates, I think a whole host of people. I’m keeping my eye on this one and watching as the true hero’s of our time come forward and make sweeping changes to our government. After all this is what needs to happen. Take back our country!
