FBI holiday weekend document drop is devastating to Hillary
American Thinker ^ | 3 Sep, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/03/2016 8:24:23 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The decision to wait for late Friday on Labor Day weekend to release the FBI’s investigation notes of Hillary Clinton’s email practices offers further evidence of the politicization of the agency. As the United States slides into a banana republic, we now know that a political thumb is on the scale at the two most feared federal agencies: the IRS and the FBI.

Still, one can understand why the Hillary faction wanted to obscure the documents, for they contain toxic revelations that disqualify Hillary Clinton from the presidency.

Normally, a holiday weekend ensures that few people analyze or even hear about the content of the documents. But this is a presidential campaign, and the emails are a gift that keeps on giving to her opponents, with hackers and the slow-walk investigation dripping out further revelations. Although her camp is already declaring, “Nothing to see here; move along,” the Trump campaign and the dissident media will not let this drop, and the facts are so disturbing (and consistent with Trump campaign themes) that when the Labor Day haze lifts, the issues will still be hot.

First and foremost: Hillary has blamed her head injuries for startling memory lapses.

Julia Edwards of Reuters reported that "Hillary Clinton told federal investigators she did not recall all the briefings she received on handling government records while U.S. secretary of state because of a concussion suffered in 2012."

A moment’s reflection reveals that Hillary Clinton has admitted that she was unable to adequately perform job functions directly related to national security because of a brain injury.

That reminds me of the classic "blonde joke".

Q. How do blondes' brain cells die?

A. Alone.

Author is wrong - holiday weekend plus the first big college football weekend means nobody is paying attention.

Oh, and there’s also an earthquake and hurricane.

There should be training documents that she and her staff would have to have, either in classes or on-line.

FBI TO HILLARY: "Do you know what "C" means in a State Dept e-mail?”

HILLARY: "Yes, it means email for the "C"linton Foundation
to sop up money selling state secrets to foreign countries."

Eh, if I recall my days working with classified you had to SIGN documents that you had been properly briefed, trained, etc. Where are those documents, are did those get conveniently lost as well?

Spread the meme: Hillary lied, her brain is fried!

#HillaryLiedHerBrainIsFried

America loves a good rhyming meme.

Probably. When I sat a Fed desk, I had to take annual on-line courses reaffirming that I knew how to handle classified documents, what could happen if I was was careless and whatnot.

Every time I logged in, there was a disclaimer I had to read and acknowledge concerning the secrecy. It was a long disclaimer but it was prominent and absolutely no BS.

Those documents were saved somewhere.

It used to be that a document dump late Friday on a holiday weekend would be effective at keeping the attention of the public to a minimum. After all, people were busy packing and getting ready to go out of town. Their TV watching would be at a minimum all weekend.

NOT ANYMORE. Most people have a smartphone and can watch the news, FB feeds, Twitter texts, etc. ALL WEEKEND LONG, no matter where they go(practical limitations aside).

Not only that, but they will be spreading the news to those who somehow haven’t heard it.

FBI is supposed to be non partisan

This Friday news dump into a long weekend proves the FBI is on Hillary’s side

Trying to minimize the news damage by releasing it on a Friday into a long weekend

“Hillary has blamed her head injuries for startling memory lapses. “

Hillary said she had memory lapses and couldn’t remember anything that would incriminate her. Other than those specific memory losses, she claims she’s good to go in running for President and is in tip-top mental shape.

Yeah... like everyone on this holiday weekend WON'T be looking at Facebook and Twitter while they are sitting next to you in the car or out in the boat, or in front of the TV.

I disagree. This was perhaps the BEST time to release it.

Everyone will be reading about this on their SMARTPHONES. They will be talking about it to all the people they are visiting or encounter on this 3 DAY WEEKEND.

Even if one presumes the FBI released it to minimize the damage, I believe it will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT.
