FBI May "Leak" Clinton Email Probe If DOJ Blocking Continues
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 23 April 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 04/23/2016 1:30:53 PM PDT by Rockitz

The feud between the FBI and the Department of Justice over whether or not to proceed with charges against Hillary Clinton in the ongoing email investigation just took an unexpected turn.

Recall that one month ago, we found out that on one hand, the FBI is seemingly hell-bent on chasing down every possibly angle involving Hillary's email abuse, when we reported that one hundred forty-seven FBI agents have been deployed to chase down clues and leads and that the FBI has accelerated the investigation because officials want to avoid the possibility of announcing any action too close to the election. A former Clinton staffer is also cooperating with that investigation, and it’s believed Clinton herself will be questioned.

The flipside has been the Department of Justice which has been stonewalling the probe every step of the way. It hasn't been alone in its unwillingness to pursue Hillary: on April 1, the state department announced that it is suspending its probe of "top secret" Clinton emails.

The divergence of these two paths, one which wants to get to the bottom of Hillary's email probe and the other which is dead set on blocking it, has led online betting markets such as PredictIt to put the the odds of federal charges being filed against Hillary at record lows.

Which, paradoxically, could be bad news for Hillary.

On Friday, US Senator Chuck Grassley who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, and who has pushed for additional scrutiny of Clinton’s email use during her tenure as secretary of state, dropped a dramatic "hint" during a breakfast meeting with the Des Moines A.M. Rotary club when he suggested that the FBI "might leak", hypothetically-speaking of course, reports of its investigation into presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.

It appears that he just generated an article by scrambling details that have been out for months. State stopped their investigation at the request of the FBI.

There’s also the problem of more than 300 federal judges appointed hy Obama. When you add them to the federal judges appointed by Bill Clinton, about 2/3rds of the federal judiciary are Obama or Clinton judges.

Four years ago we were certain that O would be a one term president. After all, the recovery was sluggish and Benghazi demonstrated that his entire Middle East strategy was in tatters.

The Clintons and the Obamas made a deal. The First Rapist saved Obama's bacon for the second term (Great Speech!!) and Obama would support Hillary in '16...

Valerie had a different plan : "Baraq, you are the president! You don't need to keep any proomise you make to anybody...! Eff them..."

The drama continues.

The only ‘hope’ is that Burnie’s voters either stay home or despise Hillary so much that they’ll vote for Trump.

There aren’t 147 agents investigating to find something to get Her Heinous behind bars.

There are 147 agents investigating to find something which will allow Her Heinous to skate, like her husband did.

The real Bill Clinton coverup was about selling technological secrets to the ChiComs. The thread they found to pull that wouldn’t unravel the sweater was perjury over sex. Everyone is still confused and thinks that was what that whole kabuki theater was about. It wasn’t. It was about diverting attention from treason and fogging the lens.

Expect the same here. The story is not whether there was a server or whether there were secret documents on the server. This coverup is to obfuscating the evidence of a shadow government running through that server, the trails of funneling arms to ISIS through State, the Clinton Foundation selling State favors for cash donations, and God only knows what else.

Whatever actually comes of this, rest assured it will be only the most minimal misdeeds, which will result in diverting attention from that treason, and fogging the lens, again.

The FBI leaks. The Media ignores it. The conservative alternative Media has a field day. And Hillary gets elected by the brain-dead, and the people with their hand-out.

Then what?

FBI has passed the point of no return here. They have to get her or she will get them next year if elected. That was one reason a lot of people didn’t volunteer to be readers for the e-mail probe at State. They don’t want to lose their heads later. BTW, State was told to stand down by the FBI, it didn’t stop its work on its own.

My guess is that the Clinton Global Crime Initiative is on the front burner and really more important than the Email scandal. Slick Willie and Benghazi and Baby Hubbell were laundering their billions of ill gotten gains thru the “charity” (aka Clinton slush).

dJT is setting it up : the system isn’t fair (super delegates) and Bernie understands one sided Trade. .... (But he doesn’t know what to do about it. )

Some will no doubt switch to support Trump

This administration is ferocious in going after whistleblowers so any leaker would know he'd get no mercy...and Hillary would certainly go after any leaker.

What would be the impact of a leak anyway? Most of the public doesn't care.

With Twitter and social networking the MSM does not have the control it once had Word will get out.
Also consider DJT has many friends in NYC. If there is a transcript or video of one of her high price speeches , it will appear.

Anythng’s possible between now and election day. Many Bernie voters are saying that they’ll do just that.

Correct. It’s absolutely shocking how the public doesn’t care. A friend, with top secret clearance, told me of the protocols necessary to access this information. Clinton had to move mountains to do this, and use her position as SOS to get it accomplished. Oh, and then we have the Clinton Foundation - I would loose my job were I to have family get paid from those who have “issues” before me.

I tell my lib friends, and get blank stares - you see, they all do it, is the reply.

Oddly, some who do care are Sanders supporters, who have written their objections. Good for them.

I would love that, but if nobody reports it, what good is the leak?

The emails are the tip of the iceberg. The real corruption is the patent influence peddling through donations by foreign governments to the phony Clinton foundation in exchange for State Department approvals. I expect the FBI to leak the report as DOJ will do nothing.
