FBI Director James Comey was manning the key choke-point in the decision to<em> not<\/em> hold Clinton accountable for what so many before her have received convictions for. What many are not aware of is the political and organizational links between Hillary Clinton and James Comey <em>behind the curtain of international high finance<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An argument can be made that FBI Director<strong> James Comey<\/strong> has <em>multiple<\/em> conflicts of interest when it comes to interfacing with the great and the good, and the Clintons in particular. Based on the evidence available to hand \u2013 one could easily flag-up Comey\u2019s relationships and past and present involvement with questionable banks, and the Clintons \u2013 as a type of conflict of interest (albeit indirect), if not an accessory to\u00a0 institutional corruption, where Comey\u2019s role as a top-level \u2018fixer\u2019 is self evident \u2013 fixing outcomes for those members of an elite international club of high finance and organized crime.
