THE CLINTON EMAIL SCANDAL AND THE FBI’S INVESTIGATION OF IT An Interim Report
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate ^ | Feb 7 2018 | Senator Ron Johnson

Posted on 02/07/2018 2:58:54 PM PST by smileyface

Executive Summary Given the recent interest in Congress’s and this Committee’s oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the FBI’s investigation of classified information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server, this interim majority staff report serves as an update on actions we have taken and what we have learned to date. As the Committee continues to investigate, Chairman Johnson has requested additional documents and materials from the Justice Department. The FBI is the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, and it is crucial that the public has full faith and confidence in its integrity and impartiality. Unfortunately, a number of actions taken by high-level FBI officials have legitimately called both into question.

What investigation? It was just a direct deposit to circular file.

Maybe the report has more detail, but all the items I listed are public information and not included in the summary. It seems as if the summary left out the most egregious law breaking by Clinton and the FBI. That is a weak summary and maybe a weak report. It should have come down on them both a LOT harder.

And you place some confidence/trust in what the FIB has to say re Clinton email?

Hi Mike, just a tech note. Nobody else can access a file on your computer’s hard drive, which is what the link you posted (file://...) is.

Given the original draft had key language watered down or removed in subsequent drafts, yes, I do have some inclination to believe the initial draft.

“Too bad we don’t have an AG.”

If Sessions were an honorable man he would resign. He is not performing his job due to his own stupidity in recusing himself. He is harming the administration and nation by occupying a critical job he is unable to perform. A selfless man, who puts his country’s well being above his own pride, would resign. Jeff Sessions is not a patriot.

Who watches Hannity? Never a single original thought spouted from his mind. He simply rattles off a coterie of stats as if this is a reflection of erudition.

For real analysis all you need to watch is the Laura Ingraham Angle.

The rest on Fox is all bawawaa

Who resigned?

Who is covering this better than Fox? Let me know where you get your information so I can go there.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Imagine the conversation between Putin and the head of the FSB when he asks, “Comrade, did you hack into Hillary’s unprotected bathroom server?” And the response is, “No, Vova, but we hacked into the DNC and Podesta’s email and we learned that Chelsea is an entitled brat who runs to her dad when others are mean to her.” How well would that go over? The fact that we haven’t heard of a hack is more troubling. The Russians and the Chinese and others are not going to announce they hacked a server; they’ll just use what they learn in their dealings with the U.S. Even a Romanian hacker in his underwear hacked Sid Blumenthal’s email that first exposed that Hillary had a private server in the first place. One would think even he was able to hack into her server so I think it can be assumed she was most definitely hacked.

Summary: While we admit that crimes were committed, we’ve made a pledge to the ruling class that they will not be indicted. We’ll write a lot of reports and testify before Congress, but we’ll do nothing substantial.

Laura Ingraham is on Fox and is brilliant. No surprise there. Former top Dartmouth grad, Univ. Va Law School, and law clerk to Justice Thomas. No one else comes close.

Lanny Davis on Hannity said “FBI said Cankles’ server/emails were never hacked.”

Lanny is lying as usual through his unnaturally white teeth.

The server was so easy to hack that it could have been done without leaving a trace. Comey's testimony suggested that it likely happened.

It would be professional malpractice on the part of Russian, Chinese, Israeli and other national intelligence operatives if they did not hack this sitting-duck server many times, not to mention the proverbial Romanian basement-dwelling free lancers.
