James Comey’s brother Peter Comey does not deny speaking with his brother James Comey during his brother’s investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, but he denies talking about Clinton with his brother.
In a defensive interview with Big League Politics, Peter Comey — a top executive at the DLA Piper law firm that did the Clinton Foundation’s taxes and performed the “independent audit” of the Clinton Foundation during the case — would not deny that conversations with his brother took place during the investigation.
“I have never talked to anybody about the Clinton campaign and the Clinton Foundation ever, and I have no comment for you about conversations with my brother,” Peter Comey told Big League Politics.
“None of which I have anything to do with,” Peter Comey said of DLA Piper’s work for the Clinton Foundation, after first pressing me about the ownership status of Big League Politics. Peter Comey said that he is not a lawyer.
Big League Politics reported from Washington:
Former FBI director James Comey’s conversations with his brother, an executive at the law firm that prepares the Clinton Foundation’s taxes, could discredit his testimony and lead to more discovery against him in any cases pertaining to President Donald Trump.
James Comey’s documented meeting with brother Peter Comey at his home during the Hillary Clinton investigation is coming under scrutiny now in the nation’s capital. Peter Comey’s firm DLA Piper performed the independent audit of the Clinton Foundation during the investigation, which helped the Foundation avoid criminal charges from the FBI.
Peter Comey works at the Washington law firm DLA Piper, serving as “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas.”
Shortly before the election, my source called up DLA Piper’s offices in Chinatown and confirmed that the law firm immediately patches callers through to Peter Comey’s direct line there.
DLA Piper is one of Hillary Clinton’s top ten all-time career campaign donors.
DLA Piper also does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes. That’s right. In fact, when the Clinton Foundation scandal broke, it was DLA Piper that performed the 2015 audit on the Foundation, which was supposed to be an independent audit for the appearance of propriety.
Property records show that James Comey owns the mortgage on his brother Peter Comey’s house in Virginia. Therefore, James Comey had a direct financial relationship with a DLA Piper executive at the time he was investigating Clinton.
James Comey met with his brother Peter Comey at his residence during the Hillary Clinton email investigation, according to an FBI security officer senior enough to receive classified security briefings.
Big League Politics has learned that James Comey’s communications with his brother could disqualify him as a witness in any investigations that he has been involved in, due to conflict of interest.
Peter Comey has held his title at DLA Piper since June 2011, after the Obama administration expressed interest in the career of James Comey. Peter Comey also works as a real estate consultant for Procon Consulting, a firm that won the contract to re-design FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
