What Does Comey Know About Trump and the New York FBI?

WHAT DOES JAMES COMEY KNOW ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, HILLARY CLINTON AND THE FBI?
BY NINA BURLEIGH ON 4/17/18 AT 2:01 PM

Among the many controversies of the 2016 election is what exactly provoked FBI Director James Comey to announce he was reopening the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails just days before the election while keeping secret the fact that the FBI was looking at Russian active measures in support of the Trump campaign.

Now that he is a private citizen and is making himself available to journalists because he has a book to promote, Comey can address the still murky connections between the New York FBI office, elements of the New York Police Department and Donald Trump.

Comey does not address it in his book, but Trump’s connections to the FBI and the New York police are deep and go back a long way. He sent his favorite longtime personal bodyguard, former NYPD officer Keith Schiller, to deliver the walking papers to Comey when he fired him. Schiller had worked for Trump for years, until leaving the White House late last year. Trump supporters among the NYPD showed up at the president’s victory party at the Hilton in New York City on election night, some in full dress uniform. The NYPD sex crimes chief donated thousands of dollars to the Trump campaign.

Trump also employed as a bodyguard an FBI agent named Gary Uher, after he was involved in a deal to bring Trump Organization business associate and Russian-mob-linked Felix Sater back from Russia in the late 1990s. The deal allowed Sater to avoid prison time for a Wall Street fraud by working as a government informant, according to an investigation by McClatchy DC.

Repubs have been screaming about leaks for two years, but who the hell was leaking to Rudy?? Not to mention Carter Page.
Is it not illegal for an FBI employee to leak information about an ongoing investigation to a non FBI employee? Sure, Comey could have handled it better, but there are things behind the things here......no way Giuliani should have known anything. That's why he disappeared soon after.
