...

Emails among DNC employees were released by anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks over the weekend appearing to expose favoritism for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over her chief rival in the primary contest, Senator Bernie Sanders.

The correspondence prompted the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Sunday, ..

Separately, the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee has been briefed on the hack ..

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook told CNN on Sunday that the emails were released by suspected Russian hackers in order to sow discord at the convention and help Republican nominee Donald Trump, her rival in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

I don’t see why her team would announce these emails were made available courtesy of Russia if they weren’t. Maybe the logic is that if Putin doesn’t release anything from Hillary’s account than that wasn’t compromised ?

Why? I'm sure leaving your servers unsecured without intent isn't prosecutable. The hackers just happened upon the servers. No intent. Right Loretta? Right James?

Spit.

Since FBI Director Comey took it upon himself to opine on whether or not Crooked Hillary should be indicted for her crimes.

This is Obama’s FBI...not to be confused with the real US FBI.

Can you believe this?

A statement from the FBI confirmed that it is “investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC,” adding that “a compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously.”

Just one more example of the elites throwing it in our faces.

“It wasn’t intended”. “What difference does it make?”.

Hitlery, obama, comey, and lynch set the precedent. Nobody can be held accountable for leaking, stealing, and making public any and all e-mails. Once you hit the “send” button, your email is up for grabs by anyone who can retrieve it.

So hitlery, obama, the FBI, the DOJ, and the DNC can go suck it. Turnabout is fair play.

Maybe they’ll find the missing CLINTON emails.

Yep, you got hacked. No evidence of bad intention, so no crime.

Maybe Russia hacked, through Hillary’s server, then gave it all to WikiLeaks. Yeah, Russia!

“Yes, you get right on that investigation, FBI, joke that you have become. Are you going to arrest any hackers that you find, while continuing to give Crooked Hillary a pass on her email server and national security breach crimes?”

Blame it on a video. That seems to work well.

Maybe Comey will rule that the hackers had no evil INTENT.

LOL!

I wonder how much of this hack and release has some connection to Kim Dotcom. His tweets since Friday suggest this is just the beginning and that something special is planned for Hillary’s birthday in October, pointing out that his house was raided on his birthday in 2011.

“Not investigating DNC corruption. Investigating who exposed DNC corruption.”

That’s what evil people always do when exposed.

Remember when the traitor Ken Starr allowed his investigation into Clintstone’s real crimes to be dead-ended into the Lewinsky smokescreen? All the attention was fixed on how awful Linda Tripp was to have exposed his sexual depravity.

There was very little or no coverage of the fact that she only went public because she feared for her safety.

Thus was the bent one allowed to get away with multiple counts of first-degree murder, as well as many other crimes.

Bingo! They want to shift the focus so as to put a smokescreen over the damaging content of the emails. Also likely hoping that an “investigation” will discourage further leaks.

Bottom line: FBI is helping Hillary with damage control.

Something tells me that in this email investigation, the FBI agents won’t be forced to wear blinders, muzzles, and handcuffs. The FBI director won’t have to create a spin that no one with a living brain cell believes.

“Anybody know why Russia would want Trump as POTUS?”

Because he will discontinue Obunghole’s policy of handing the world to the pigdog murder-muzzies.

Remember Beslan.

The appeal of the Mafia at its inception was that it was the only route to justice for people dominated by an oppressive, corrupt government.
