FBI criminal investigation emails: Clinton approved CIA drone assassinations with her cellphone

The FBI has been conducting a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information for months.

An explosive new report reveals just what it is that the FBI is looking to: emails in which then-Secretary of State Clinton approved CIA drone assassinations in Pakistan with her cellphone.

From 2011 on, the State Department had a secret arrangement with the CIA, giving it a degree of say over whether or not a drone killing would take place.

The U.S. drone program has killed hundreds of civilians in Pakistan and other countries.

Under Sec. Clinton, State Department officials approved almost every single proposed CIA drone assassination. They only objected to one or two attacks.

The emails that are at the heart of the FBI’s criminal investigation are 2011 and 2012 messages between U.S. diplomats in Pakistan and their State Department superiors in D.C., in which the officials approved drone strikes.

I didn’t know the Secretary of State was in the CIA’s chain of command. Learn something new everyday.

You may be right, but from my seat, things have drug on too long and I still have any faith in a just end.

Interesting. That is indeed one possibility.

But what about Obama’s legacy! /sarc

The comments at Salon are amazing. A few honest Democrats really get attacked by those whistling past the graveyard and willing to excuse anything Hitlery does.

Maybe you are on to something.

I am not accusing Hillary as having had anything to do with it. But surely she knows more about it than was ever released. Biden was the one who leaked who killed Osama, but it put a target on every other member of SEAL team 6 in Afghanistan according to a Wash Times article.

I found an email from Cheryl Mills to Hillary in a short string at Wikileaks. She's one who used a state.gov email address, nothing suspicious. WSJ gave me a date gap, probably because I don't have the expertise to do a thorough search.

I'm not really equipped to discuss it in depth because didn't follow it closely.

Liberal rag scoops the mainstream media who just can’t seem to find anything negative to report about her. The MSM sure does like to protect their “firsts”.

Terminate, with EXTREME Prejudice

I don't know why they bothered to get the FBI involved anyway.

They had to find some kind of busywork for 150+ agents otherwise they'd just sit around playing with the ole Duncan Yo-Yo. That's not good for budget reviews.

With the NSA who wouldn't equip her Blackberry with the cyber tech Obama had on his, the agent sarcastically said the response was to go back to their coloring. More specifically "we were politely told to shut up and color"

Would you believe this? The NSA put out a coloring book for kids!!!! But that was about 2015 and the color remark was about 2009. That is funny!

It's kind of creepy though. From google results which I don't have time to read, it appears to some that they are setting kids up to be recruited as spies. Now what would that be for?
