OK, for technical folks, this is an insanely red flag. A non techie analogy would be that that statement reads like: "I brought the gun into the bar because my wife was home baking a cake". It is first very alarming (I sent the email to gmail == I brought the gun into the bar), and secondly makes no freaking sense. Using gmail to secure an outlook server email box just makes absolutely no sense. There was another reason they sent that email to a personal gmail account. And probably an important one from a criminal investigation standpoint. | ||

One thing I haven't seen any comments on is the effect having all these revealed e-mails must be having within the Clinton campaign and the larger Democratic organization. Given the stories about her temperament, Hillary has to be going off on some of these people (including her top aides) who said less-than-flattering things about her in their e-mail exchanges. Whether she's elected or not, I imagine there will be hell to pay for some of these folks after the election. She doesn't seem likely to forgive and forget. | ||

She doesn't seem likely to forgive and forget. It would be one of the few things that she hasn't forgotten!!!     | ||

I doubt she cares beyond being mad that they were sloppy enough to put it in writing. I suspect she believes everyone is as nasty and hateful as she is, and isn't the least surprised at it. | ||

Corruption of the FBI in this manner is just sickening. I guess we should expect nothing less from BO. Expect worse from Clinton... What Happened to the FBI? By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano October 27, 2016 When FBI Director James Comey announced on July 5 that the Department of Justice would not seek the indictment of Hillary Clinton for failure to safeguard state secrets related to her email use while she was secretary of state, he both jumped the gun and set in motion a series of events that surely he did not intend. Was his hand forced by the behavior of FBI agents who wouldn't take no for an answer? Did he let the FBI become a political tool? Here is the back story. The FBI began investigating the Clinton email scandal in the spring of 2015, when The New York Times revealed Clinton's use of a private email address for her official governmental work and the fact that she did not preserve the emails on State Department servers, contrary to federal law. After an initial collection of evidence and a round of interviews, agents and senior managers gathered in the summer of 2015 to discuss how to proceed. It was obvious to all that a prima-facie case could be made for espionage, theft of government property and obstruction of justice charges. The consensus was to proceed with a formal criminal investigation. Six months later, the senior FBI agent in charge of that investigation resigned from the case and retired from the FBI because he felt the case was going "sideways"; that's law enforcement jargon for "nowhere by design." John Giacalone had been the chief of the New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., field offices of the FBI and, at the time of his "sideways" comment, was the chief of the FBI National Security Branch. The reason for the "sideways" comment must have been Giacalone's realization that DOJ and FBI senior management had decided that the investigation would not work in tandem with a federal grand jury. That is nearly fatal to any government criminal case. In criminal cases, the FBI and the DOJ cannot issue subpoenas for testimony or for tangible things; only grand juries can. Giacalone knew that without a grand jury, the FBI would be toothless, as it would have no subpoena power. He also knew that without a grand jury, the FBI would have a hard time persuading any federal judge to issue search warrants. A judge would perceive the need for search warrants to be not acute in such a case because to a judge, the absence of a grand jury can only mean a case is "sideways" and not a serious investigation. As the investigation dragged on in secret and Donald Trump simultaneously began to rise in the Republican presidential primaries, it became more apparent to Giacalone's successors that the goal of the FBI was to exonerate Clinton, not determine whether there was enough evidence to indict her. In late spring of this year, agents began interviewing the Clinton inner circle. When Clinton herself was interviewed on July 2 — for only four hours, during which the interviewers seemed to some in the bureau to lack aggression, passion and determination — some FBI agents privately came to the same conclusion as their former boss: The case was going sideways. A few determined agents were frustrated by Clinton's professed lack of memory during her interview and her oblique reference to a recent head injury she had suffered as the probable cause of that. They sought to obtain her medical records to verify the gravity of her injury and to determine whether she had been truthful with them. They prepared the paperwork to obtain the records, only to have their request denied by Director Comey himself on July 4. Then some agents did the unthinkable; they reached out to colleagues in the intelligence community and asked them to obtain Clinton's medical records so they could show them to Comey. We know that the National Security Agency can access anything that is stored digitally, including medical records. These communications took place late on July 4. When Comey learned of these efforts, he headed them off the next morning with his now infamous news conference, in which he announced that Clinton would not be indicted because the FBI had determined that her behavior, though extremely careless, was not reckless, which is the legal standard in espionage cases. He then proceeded to recount the evidence against her. He did this, no doubt, to head off the agents who had sought the Clinton medical records, whom he suspected would leak evidence against her. Three months later — and just weeks before Clinton will probably be elected president — we have learned that President Barack Obama regularly communicated with Clinton via her personal email servers about matters that the White House considered classified. That means that he lied when he told CBS News that he learned of the Clinton servers when the rest of us did. We also learned this week that Andrew McCabe, Giacalone's successor as head of the FBI Washington field office and presently the No. 3 person in the FBI, is married to a woman to whom the Clinton money machine in Virginia funneled about $675,000 in lawful campaign funds for a failed 2015 run for the Virginia Senate. Comey apparently saw no conflict or appearance of impropriety in having the person in charge of the Clinton investigation in such an ethically challenged space. Why did this case go sideways? Did President Obama fear being a defense witness at Hillary Clinton's criminal trial? Did he so fear being succeeded in office by Donald Trump that he ordered the FBI to exonerate Clinton, the rule of law be damned? Did the FBI lose its reputation for fidelity to law, bravery under stress and integrity at all times? This is not your grandfather's FBI — or your father's. It is the Obama FBI. | ||

Y'all will recall that Catherine Engelbrecht/True the Vote was the first, and hardest, hit by IRS and DOJ weaponization in the lead-up to the 2012 election. She was brutalized by our federal government, for something as common sense as wanting to ensure our voting process is honest and robust. Why?

Clinton and 0bama are campaigning together in NC today. NBC hack Monica Alba (with, apparently, a straight face) Tweeted this caption and photo today:

I've seen PTA meetings that are better attended... If this is the one in Winston-Salem, NPR's afternoon news report claimed there were ~10,000 people in attendance.  | ||

So they were originally scheduled to appear at Wake Forest University's Hearn Plaza, in Winston-Salem, NC, but at the last minute the event was moved inside do the threat of "inclement weather":

And yet, if you listen to the paid political pundits, especially if you're not listening for their spin, they'd have you believe that Clinton and Trump are neck and neck in the polls, or, even, that Clinton is ahead. Not. A. Frikkin. Chance. In. The. World. | ||

Not. A. Frikkin. Chance. In. The. World. Hm. I recall you saying the same thing with Romney. Unless you are referring to Dump being ahead. Then the last line would be right. But, I will enjoy the heading explosions on here again on Nov. 9th. | ||

So the FBI is reopening it's investigation into Hillary! Anybody trust the FBI at this point? The FBI has proven itself to be corrupted. Time for a special prosecutor! | ||
| Macbuell |
Posting a link. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/28/fbi-reo pens-investigation-into-clinton-email-use.html I honestly do not know what to make of this. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Genuine? Or fabricated distraction from Wikileaks? | ||
| Zane |
Genuine. It's been on Fox for the last hour or so. The FBI must have found something to big to ignore. | ||
| Mtnmason |
Imagine the sh!t stew that'd be created if her candidacy were to be withdrawn. That would mean that this election would be 'delayed' at best. Paging Cityx...  | ||
| Ratbuell |
Not questioning the accuracy of the fact they're investigating. WHY are they investigating? 1. They're genuinely going to look for criminal activity 2. They just want ANYTHING in the news for the sheeple to watch, that isn't Wikileaks. #2 would, of course, be another dnp / msm fabrication to distract said sheeple from fact. The timing is just a little too convenient.... | ||
| Macbuell |
There is no way they would use the FBI reopening a criminal investigation 11 days before the election as a distraction. My guess is maybe the FBI got wind of something that Wikileaks was going to release and wanted to get out in front of it to save face. |
