Federal judge rules FBI exhausted search for Hillary Clinton’s emails
The Washington Times ^ | November 9, 2017 | Alex Swoyer

A federal judge tossed a lawsuit Thursday that would have pushed the State Department and FBI to do more to try to track down Hillary Clinton’s emails, ruling the government has done all it reasonably could to locate the former secretary of state’s messages.

Two watchdog groups, Judicial Watch and Cause of Action, had sued in 2015 demanding the government recover all of Mrs. Clinton’s emails, saying she violated open-records laws by not preserving her messages.

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, though, said the FBI did what it could, and did manage to recover thousands of messages Mrs. Clinton didn’t return herself.

“Those efforts went well beyond the mine-run search for missing federal records…and were largely successful, save for some emails sent during a two-month stretch. Even then, the FBI pursued every imaginable avenue to recover the missing emails,” wrote Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee to the court.

An Obama appointed judge says the Obama administration FBI and State Department did everything they could to recover criminal Hillary Clinton unlawful emails.

I guess this is no surprise.

Well, then, if her willful negligence led to a unrecoverable situation the charge her, try her and hopefully lock her up.

Anthony Weiner’s laptop is evidently in the same warehouse seen at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Did they look at Weiner’s laptop? Cause there were plenty of missing emails there.

Along with dick pics and sexts to under aged girls.

How’s about the NSA servers in Utah? Oh, didn’t think about that one, did ya Obama appointee?

(Oh, I’m sure he did - he pretended it doesn’t exist - well they used it to convict KimDotCom - I seriously doubt they only collected his emails)

They’ve stacked it with their operatives for decades. They knew what they were doing. It has worked very well for them.

During the Watergate inquisition, the left freaked out over 18-and-one-half minutes of Nixon's tapes.

An 18.5-minute gap would fit into Hillary's two months 4,670 times.

One citizen can’t fix this country. It would take an army of citizens. We elected a man willing to do whatever he could. But re-elected the deep state Congress.

This is pure and simple BS.

The only reason for an email is to communicate with one or more people (addressees) via an electronic medium that creates a digital record.

Those friggin’ emails went to other people. A search of available data stores for Hillary (or her surrogates or aliases) as the SENDER, should turn them up right quick, unless she managed to get to EVERYONE she sent them to and convinced (threatened) them to delete them (also criminal on their part, and on hers).

This judge’s ruling strains credulity...

“Our government is completely corrupt.”

It's beyond corrupt. The best of America is based upon Judeo-Christian values, the willingness to sacrifice self for innocent lives and family, and a belief in the sacredness of doing good for the sake of goodness. In the Judeo-Christian context all of this is embodied in God. Secularism, academics, politics, and the politically connected aspect of the entertainment industry are all building blocks in a modern reattempt to construct a tower of Babel. It is driven by the same hubris, is just as backward and delusional, and is even more devoid of meaning. It will end the same, or worse.

I’ve used the 18.5 minute gap as dry humor for years. Most people have no idea what I am talking about.
