I think it’s BS. Millions of people weren’t going to vote for Hillary anyway.

As far as Comey goes, he did what Clinton needed, within a week declared that there is nothing to see here move on. Standard Clinton tactic-and necessary once it became clear that someone was preparing to spill the beans.

Every time I see this story it annoys me because it offers very little in the way of new information. I believe that 99% of what was on that laptop has been covered up forevermore. And my guess is that the evidence has already been destroyed.

Isn't it comforting to know that Strzok, head of FBI counter-intelligence, decided, prior to knowing that thousands of government documents were located on the laptop of an easily blackmailed pedophile, that there was no intelligence threat to the United States?

Isn't it also comforting to know now that the FBI lacks the resources to pursue TWO possible counter-intelligence cases at the same time. All our enemies have to do is plant TWO agents in the U.S. in order to breach our security? Imagine the damage if they planted a dozen or two agents.

Strzok finds himself in the unenviable position of having to portray himself as stupid and incompetent. The alternative would make him a very dangerous enemy of the nation.

I hate the corruption. Unfortunately the corruption is on both sides, in the SES civil service, and widespread in DC. Selling out your country and it’s citizens for money, perversion, power and another day in the shadows is demonic.

Robertson said 600k emails.
The OIG report says 141k emails.

From here: https://www.justice.gov/file/1071991/download
I. Discovery of Emails by the FBI’s New York Field Office
pdf pages 302-304; document pages 273-275.

note the footnote ( I wonder if this agent is Robertson ) kinda scary

165
"No electronic record exists of the case agent’s initial review of the Weiner laptop.
The case agent told us that at some point in mid-October 2016 the NYO ASAC instructed the case agent to wipe his work station.
The case agent explained that the ASAC was concerned about the presence of potentially classified information on the case agent’s work station, which was not authorized to process classified information.
The case agent told us that he followed the ASAC’s instructions, but that this request concerned him because the audit trail of his initial processing of the laptop would no longer be available.
The case agent clarified that none of the evidence on the Weiner laptop was impacted by this, explaining that the FBI retained the Weiner laptop and only the image that had been copied onto his work station was deleted.
The ASAC recalled that the case agent “worked through the security department to address the concern” of classified information on an unclassified system.
He told us that he did not recall how the issue was resolved."

#11. It may be four years too late but just in time for the November election.

If this claim is true and possibly proved by the revealing/publishing of such documents, then it undermines all those ex-DOJ/FBI officials/agents who said that Trump was guilty of “Russian collusion” and should be impeached.

The Truth can be a two-edged sword. You just have to know how to handle it (I was a fencer) and when to thrust it up the ass of these fools, incompetents and traitors.

Just think of how deep the deep state really is. Control of the media is a must and destroying evidence is common place. Controlling those around you with force, extortion and ruination is also essential

Sadly this will not get any notice. The SCOTUS nomination will suck the oxygen out of all of these kind(s) of stories until it is over or the election happens.

Wasn’t RBG the controlling factor of all legal entities in the NE court/legal system and was able to keep a lid on many things?

The know-it-all Muslim Abedin-—Hillary’s top aide-—told us insignificant infidels that SHE put the emails on her husband’s laptop.

Said she wanted to copy them.......as if Obama’s billion dollar State Dept had no copiers available and no staff to do the copying.

The buzz is Secy Hillary’s communiques were all linked to the Clinton Foundation, so BillyBoy would know who to shakedown next.

ARCHIVES: JUDICIAL WATCH REPORT——Dec 2016
FR Posted by jazusamo

New Documents Show Clinton Conflicts of Interest

Further confirming the need to “clean house” on the Clinton corruption scandals, we just uncovered 508 pages of new documents thanks to our historic Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit seeking information about possible conflicts of interest involving the Hillary Clinton State Department and Bill Clinton’s various activities.

More than 440 pages of the documents were redacted either in full, or with only minor notations remaining. The documents were released as a result of a federal court order in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the State Department on May 28, 2013 ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-00772)).

The documents included an undated, unsigned memo entitled “Private Sector Opportunities for WJC” [William Jefferson Clinton]. The memo provided capabilities analysis of three companies with major investment interests in Haiti: Tetra Pak, Seaboard, and Cemex .

The documents also include a lengthy March 2009 email from Clinton Foundation Director of Foreign Policy Amitabh Desai to former Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Shapiro and subsequently forwarded to top Clinton aide Jake Sullivan containing the names of nearly 200 then-current and former heads of state to be invited to the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting. The list includes dignitaries from Saudi Arabia, which gave $14.5 million to the Clinton Foundation; Kuwait, which gave between $5 and $10 million; Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar – all of which donated between $1 and $5 million over the years. In February 2015, the Washington Post reported, “A third of foundation donors who have given more than $1 million are foreign governments or other entities … and foreign donors make up more than half of those who have given more than $5 million.”

In July 2014, Judicial Watch released more than 200 conflict-of-interest reviews by State Department ethics advisers of proposed Bill Clinton speaking and consulting engagements during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. The documents show that Mr. Clinton’s office proposed 215 speeches around the globe. And 215 times, the State Department stated that it had “no objection.”

The Washington Examiner published a report by Judicial Watch Chief Investigative Reporter Micah Morrison and Examiner Senior Watchdog Reporter Luke Rosiak which notes that Mr. Clinton “earned $48 million while his wife presided over U.S. foreign policy, raising questions about whether the Clintons fulfilled ethics agreements related to the Clinton Foundation during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.”

It is a scandal that the Obama administration stalled the release of these smoking gun documents for over five years. These documents show that Hillary and Bill Clinton’s machine sought to shake down almost every country in the world, from Saudi Arabia to desperately poor Haiti.

Again, all the more reason for President-elect Trump to launch a serious criminal investigation of the Clinton cash machine.

Four year bump.

Still we know very little about what shocked certain NYPD personnel to the core.

State Department identifies 23 violations, 'multiple security incidents' concerning Clinton emails

Then-FBI Director James Comey outright lied----he insisted that the agency had “reviewed all of the communications” discovered on the Weiner laptop......some of which were designated "top secret." The FBI examined just 3,077 of the 694,000 emails on Weiner's which was used by his wife Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, a report said.

DID COMEY STOP LOOKING B/C HE WAS AFRAID HE WOULD FIND EVEN
GREATER OUTRAGES PERPETRATED BY HILLARY AND HER CRIMINAL CREW?

Hillary Aide Huma Abedin Forwarded State Dept Passwords to
Yahoo Before It Was Hacked by Russian and Foreign Agents

By Luke Rosiak, The Daily Caller / January 02, 2018

Huma Abedin, a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, routed sensitive information through Yahoo multiple times.

Huma Abedin forwarded sensitive State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her personal Yahoo email account before every single Yahoo account was hacked, a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of emails released as part of a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch shows. Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work.

This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was affected by one or more of a series of breaches—at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”

The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.

A separate hack in 2013 compromised 3 billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, regularly forwarded work emails to her personal humamabedin@yahoo.com address. “She would use these accounts if her [State] account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” an FBI report says.

Abedin sent passwords for her government laptop to her Yahoo account on Aug. 24, 2009, an email released by the State Department in September shows. Long-time Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal sent Clinton an email in July 2009 with the subject line: “Important. Not for circulation. You only. Sid.” The email began “CONFIDENTIAL … Re: Moscow Summit.” Abedin forwarded the email to her Yahoo address, potentially making it visible to hackers.

The email was deemed too sensitive by the government to release to the public and was redacted before being published pursuant to the Judicial Watch lawsuit. The released copy says: “Classified by DAS/ A/GIS, DoS on 10/30/2015 Class: Confidential.” The unredacted portion reads: “I have heard authoritatively from Bill Drozdiak, who is in Berlin. … We should expect that the Germans and Russians will now cut their own separate deals on energy, r
