FBI, DOJ roiled by Comey, Lynch decision to let Clinton slide by on emails, says insider
Fox News ^ | October 12, 2016 | Malia Zimmerman, Adam Housley

Posted on 10/12/2016 12:31:46 PM PDT by jazusamo

The decision to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for mishandling classified information has roiled the FBI and Department of Justice, with one person closely involved in the year-long probe telling FoxNews.com that career agents and attorneys on the case unanimously believed the Democratic presidential nominee should have been charged.

The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity, said FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic July 5 announcement that he would not recommend to the Attorney General’s office that the former secretary of state be charged left members of the investigative team dismayed and disgusted. More than 100 FBI agents and analysts worked around the clock with six attorneys from the DOJ’s National Security Division, Counter Espionage Section, to investigate the case.

“No trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute -- it was a top-down decision,” said the source, whose identity and role in the case has been verified by FoxNews.com.

A high-ranking FBI official told Fox News that while it might not have been a unanimous decision, “It was unanimous that we all wanted her [Clinton’s] security clearance yanked.”

“It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted,” the senior FBI official told Fox News. “We were floored while listening to the FBI briefing because Comey laid it all out, and then said ‘but we are doing nothing,’ which made no sense to us.”

Andrew Napolitano, former judge and senior judicial analyst for Fox News Channel, said many law enforcement agents involved with the Clinton email investigation have similar beliefs.

There is a caveat here:

As we have seen, the Media is functioning as muscle for Hillary's campaign, and would likely be on any agent like Brown Shirts on a Jew.

I will give the FBI guys until the last week or so of October to Man Up, and take on the Corruptocrats.

I can see that firing before you can see the whites of their eyes would give the Media & Hillary time to defuse the situation, and still prevail on November 8.

If they don't drop the grenade in Her campaign's foxhole in time, then they're part of Her corrupt team.

“They would be replaced with people who will not disagree, will not leak this sort of information, and will be politically reliable.”

That’s what we have now, Mark.

I understand it was agents in the NSA that hacked the DNC because they were so enraged Hillary was so loose with security information that cost agents their life, and threatened others.

The Clinton and Obama Machinery is blaming everything on Russia because they have to have a scapegoat for those within the Government working against them.....they have to show the NSA and FBI is “for them” and their friend......

Maybe if they had the tiniest bit of faith that anyone in our government would have their back. From what I’ve seen, there is no one. Maybe when Trump gets in.

They are caught by the nether region. Behave as a patriot and resign, (as in days of old when principle mattered), or bitch and moan incognito to the media, because they lose everything they worked for in pension, retirement income and ability to meet their kids college and debts, if they resign. To the curb they go, if they speak.

Half of any govt agenda is going to be Democrats. So right there you have cut in half the potential pool of patriots that would blow the whistle on this nonsense.

The fact that people involved in the investigation who presumably signed the draconian NDA Comey forced them to sign to work on the Clinton investigation are coming forward suggests that they may have cut deals with Congress to come forward under Federal Whistle blower protections

This is exactly the way public opposition it stifled. Any day now, justice will be served. Same way with Ken Starr. Trey Gowdy's investigation. Any day now....

We are truly waiting for Godot.

"If they don't drop the grenade in Her campaign's foxhole in time, then they're part of Her corrupt team."

Absolutely no argument here!!!!

What scares the Sh** out of me, as at this point I'm afraid we will not hear a sound.

In a little over 200 years, We have converted from emancipation of the individual, to accepting ownership. Why?

The Germans running the trains for the Holocaust were very upset too. They still ran the trains.

I was thinking of something along these lines as well.

"I was just following orders" like then, will NOT excuse their actions for covering for these huge corruptions. I hope these government officials and employees come to realize that.

The old retired KGB guys are hooting and hollering in glee about how far down their FBI opponents have come in just 7 years.

At one time the FBI was the only law enforcement organization in the world that the KGB both feared and respected.

Today, it has been downgraded in Soviet/Russian eyes to the Keystone Cops level.
