The FBI refused to cooperate Monday with a court-ordered inquiry into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email server, telling the State Department that they won’t even confirm they are investigating the matter themselves, much less willing to tell the rest of the government what’s going on.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan had ordered the State Department to talk with the FBI and see what sort of information could be recovered from Mrs. Clinton’s email server, which her lawyer has said she turned over to the Justice Department over the summer.
The FBI’s refusal, however, leaves things muddled.
“At this time, consistent with long-standing Department of Justice and FBI policy, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any ongoing investigation, nor are we in a position to provide additional information at this time,” FBI General Counsel James A. Baker wrote in a letter dated Monday — a week after the deadline the Justice Department had set for the FBI to reply.

Isn’t this the norm for the FBI, from even before Obama? Don’t they as a rule not comment on active investigations? Is this just grandstanding on the part of Grassley?
“What are we witnessing? Bureaucratic feudalism. A government so large and entrenched that no real oversight is taking place. Each agency is its own feudal duchy, nominally answerable to the Sovereign but really answerable to no one. And each bureaucratic duchy has it own army to back it up.
“
Sums up our Gov’t perfectly!
Forgetting for just a moment what this vile witch has done to this country with her massive and consistent failures over many years in each and everything she’s ever been involved in... Look what she’s perfectly willing to put this country through to save her snakeskin fatass.
Like that jag-off dickwad husband of hers, they have zero consideration for everyday Americans, and the expense and national disgrace they continuously engender. Not just one disaster, but one after the other—each one even more unbelievable.
Imagine starting a new job at say, a Big Bank, bringing in your own server, and saying gosh thanks, no need to set me up on your secure system, I brought my own. Don’t worry, you can trust me... And when you crash the entire bank, blame those idiots in the IT department for your mess.
Hate that GD wicked cow. Her and Bill are the most dangerous domestic enemies this country has ever faced, and the blowjob press is fine with it.
Bill Clinton was their 1st reich, Obama their 2nd, they are on the way to having Hillary as their 3rd reich. I believe she will be stopped, but it’s a scary prospect.
Ping.
Comments about the article, posted by freeper yoe:
Watch for a Friday dump of maybe the following?
1. The much anticipated testimony by Ms. Clinton in October will not take place. Why not? Because:
2. The US Attorney General will appoint a “special council” to investigate Benghazi and Ms. Clintons private server.
3. As the two matters will be “under investigation” by the special council all other inquiries by any entity or person (Congressman Trey Gowdy?) will be put on hold until the “special council” files his/her findings and recommendations with the Attorney General’s office.
4. Ms. Clinton’s response to the appointment of a “special council”….. “I was so looking forward to testifying before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. But I must abide by the law. Therefore I am not allowed to speak about them until after the completion of the investigation.”
5. It is anticipated that the special council’s report will be expedited and as such will be completed by the spring of 2017.
6. Under no circumstances can the Democrats allow Ms. Clinton to be destroyed by Congressman Trey Gowdy or anyone else. Obama cannot allow Congressman Gowdy to ask Ms. Clinton about where he was the night of the Benghazi attack.
One response:
The ultimate story of Benghazi is that it was a staged event that got out of control, designed to establish Barry’s foreign policy credentials in the lead up to the 2012 election at a time when it appeared he was in trouble.
Probably involved criminal, perhaps Treasonous conduct on the part of both Barry and Hillary and there are a bunch of military officers who know about it.
That alone ought to give Hillary the horsepower to effectively deal with Barry on endorsements etc. as well as obstruction of Congress investigations.

This is a double whammy, theres enough evidence for Benghazi treason, also enough evidence for a second investigation for espionage over the top secret defense information being physically downloaded onto the world wide web (Hillary’s server).
Did Comey cave? Not unsuspected given his liberal leanings and his desire to leave a clean legacy at the FBI.
Not J. E. Hoover quality, this man.
“In space, silence is no excuse not to talk anyway”.
It would be cute, but I don’t think it will happen
That was the very first thing I thought also. JAIL ALL OF THEM for Contempt!
The judge is the same one who demanded Lois Lerner’s emails be turned over...
Well, who’s above the FBI? Who can arrest the head? anybody?
Remember the notation in Table on Content in the Kenya section of the Britiah Archive. It was Hillary who made the trip in 2009 and placed the hold on the actual document.
We have US Marshals with the power and balls? I thought they were only on TV or non existent like the USMC White Knights.
and they wonder why we only obey the laws WE want to...
Is this Hillary’s home free card?
I dont know what’s more frustrating.
this corrupt regime or watching the Jets trying to give the game away to the Colts.
She will win. Our elections are now a farce......the ballot stuffing and voting machine glitches will prevail.
There is only one way for all of this to end.
