Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, January 22, 2026

In the run-up to the 2016 Democratic Party convention, FBI Director James Comey gained access to at least eight thumb drives containing large volumes of former Secretary Hillary Clinton's sensitive State Department emails " as well as some from President Obama " that appeared to have been compromised by foreign hackers. Instead of investigating the explosive new batch of evidence revealed in recently declassified documents, Comey rushed ahead to close an investigation into whether Clinton improperly transmitted and received classified material from a private, unsecured server she kept in her basement. Comey also took the extraordinary step of bypassing the attorney general and personally exonerating Clinton of wrongdoing during an unusual press conference on July 5, 2016. Just hours later, Obama invited Clinton " who would be formally nominated as the Democrats' standard bearer three weeks later " aboard Air Force One to help launch her multicity campaign tour

60 character limit led to a goofy headline.

It should read: Obama's fingerprints all over investigations of Trump and Clinton.

Following the January 6 United States Capitol attack, Paul Sperry was among the first to spread the conspiracy theory that antifa were inciting the violence, writing on Twitter in a widely retweeted post that a "former FBI agent" had informed him that "at least 1 bus load' of antifa thugs infiltrated peaceful Trump demonstrators.

LOL

"Instead of investigating the explosive new batch of evidence"

Instead of getting distracted by investigating the explosive new batch of evidence, he kept working on the task at hand.

I am not sure how this makes you a Victim.
But it definitely makes you a Victim.
Thanks for sharing.

"As a reporter, Sperry wrote numerous articles against Democratic politicians such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, and Adam Schiff. He described Obama as the "defender-in-chief of Islam", and warned of an "Islamic fifth column" growing inside the United States.

He has said that Obama was "'flooding' the United States with a 'huge surge' of Muslim immigrants."[1] Sperry has also noted that "unbeknown to most Americans", Obama in order to try to mandate racial equality, was creating a "diversity police state" while "furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school"all to document 'inequalities' between minorities and whites."[13]"

It's his "varied sources". The full spectrum, from NRO to WorldNutDaily.

What's next, the ironically-named American Thinker?!?

American Stinker, considering the bad breath and the biased reporting.

I feel for Jeff, though; it's hard being a Republican in the Trump Error, er, Era.

"No one has to give a crap about stuff like this until after the full Epstein Files are released."

To be clear, Trump is clearly weaponizing the DOJ. Bell is silent.

Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions off the office of the Presidency. Bell is silent.

ICE announces it doesn't need to follow the Constitution. Bell is silent.

Trump is currently denying Due Process to "persons" in the USA. Bell is silent.

Republicans pass a tax code which borrows new trillions. Bell clutches pearls about debt, but never, EVER connects the two.

And now, a thread. Not about weaponizing the DOJ, or Trump and his family profiting off the Presidency. Not about ICE infractions or dead protestors. Not about denial of Constitutional rights.

A thread about baloney, which never addresses the central historical question: When Comey announced the FBI was re-opening its investigation of HRC, why did he make no mention of the ongoing investigation of DJT?

It burns at his racist white heart that a black man was the President of the United States.

If it weren't for the physical exam, BullBringer would have joined ICE months ago.
