The upcoming release of the new batch of previously undisclosed 15,000 Hillary emails by the State Dept. doesn't smell right.
I have a feeling Team Hillary ordered the State Dept. to cough them up because they've lost sleep at night worrying that Assange over at Wikileaks has them and will release them FIRST if they don't act now.
If Assange releases them first, especially given the fact they have been kept hidden from everyone including the FBI, the impact to her campaign would be greater than if she released them voluntarily.
I believe this was a preemptive move by Team Hillary against Wikileaks.
“If Assange releases them first, especially given the fact they have been kept hidden from everyone including the FBI, the impact to her campaign would be greater than if she released them voluntarily.”
The FBI has already seen these emails. They are the ones who provided them to the State Department. The reason they are being released now is because the courts ordered it after FOIA requests from the public. If they wanted to release them to preempt wikileaks they would just release them. Instead, they seem to be stalling and dragging their feet, so I don’t think that’s the case.
What Hillary needs to worry about is other emails that were deleted but not included in the 15,000 that the FBI was able to recover (there should still be 15,000 other missing emails out there). If wikileaks has those and releases them, and there is evidence of wrongdoing in them, then those could reopen the entire investigation, since the Justice Department and FBI never considered that evidence before making their determinations.
It’s all rigged. FBI, DOJ, State, WH.
They don’t want Wikileaks to release the emails , I’m guessing, covert operations “Operation Zero Footprint”. Rand Paul asked Hillary specifically about the transfer of arms from Lybia to Turkey. And she denied she knew about it. In other words she lied to Congress again.
Forgot the CIA.
And, if they are heavily redacted, it means that folks at DOJ have had all of them for a long time, and have been working them over to limit damage.
They are being released so at the debate Hillary and the media can declare this is old news. It’s the Clinton’s getting out in front of this with the media narrative. Which also explains why the media are reporting this.
Doesn’t matter if Wikileaks has them anyway. They can release them to the PUBLIC regardless of what obstacles the DOJ-FBI-State Department do.....................
Assange would read and compare her release first, then trumpet loud and long if his release had any differences.
Maybe the head of the FBI is setting a trap for Hillary
Her VP hasn’t been very visible here of late.
Wikileaks will likely show discrepancies and evidence of tampering by filling in holes.
He is just about as criminal as she is, he isn’t suppose to be ‘visible’ just there in case something happens to her, he can take over...Trump is ready for that one also...
Found this thread doing a search for "Freerepublic.com on the Wikileaks site.
Exactly!
Integrity and honesty mean nothing.
Yes. I think it solidifies the FBI’s reputation as corrupt to the core.
Clinton Playbook - If they have the goods on you, muddy the water.
Yes, that was my exactt first thought when I heard this last night as well. They are pre-releasung at least some to soften the blow.
Also likely is that these e-mails will have been modified, so that if/when Wikileaks releases the unmodified ones with more incrinating statements, Clinton can claim Wikileaks made the modifications instead.
That sounds about right- release and sequester. Assange needs to release his copies of them anyway.
