Trump rips 'rigged system' as we learn Comey drafted Hillary exoneration statements well before probe was concluded

We touched on this earlier but it's worth revisiting so we don't miss the big picture on this story. Townhall's Katie Pavlich has the details this morning of the revelation that then-FBI Director James Comey was preparing an "exoneration statement" of Hillary Clinton months before he announced his decision publicly, and well before the FBI itself had completed its investigation. This has prompted a FOIA request for details about the FBI's process, which the FBI attempted earlier in the week to deny, only to be told this morning by a federal judge that it has to comply with the request. Clearly, the internal bureaucracy at the FBI is trying to cover its own asses on this, and President Trump has made his feelings known this morning:

Wow, looks like James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before the investigation was over...and so much more. A rigged system!
