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.

“I don’t recall” is the lawyerly statement that combines “I take the Fifth” with “Screw you” into an unassailable package.

You can’t “prove” that someone is lying when they say they don’t remember, unless you attach a polygraph and then give credence to the results. About the only thing you can do is make the statement look highly doubtful, or find a smoking gun afterwards which shows that at least they did remember what they did at some intermediate point in time.

Link: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton completed no security briefings or courses on the proper handling of classified materials and how to conduct secure communications while at the Department of State, according to new Obama administration legal filings before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

State Department records released to TheDCNF show that Cheryl Mills and Jacob Sullivan, two top Clinton aides, took cybersecurity awareness courses once, but not for all four years. The records show Clinton and aide Huma Abedin never took any cybersecurity awareness training.

In addition to showing Hellary to be an incompetent, if not brain-damage, leftist perjurer, the released documents show that FBI Director Comey, along with other Traitorobama kakistocrats, should also be prosecuted as accessory after the fact.

Although I agree with the article, no question it was Friday before a holiday weekend document drop, to minimize controversy ... it wasn't late in the day ... more like mid- to late morning.

Well there you go, she’s just too flipping special, can’t be bothered with the mundane, “protecting our national interests” stuff.

How can we trust someone like this in ANY security position?

No Hillary is devastating to Hillary, despite the FBI trying to rescue her from herself.

Good points on the weekend Smartphone sharing.

I think this is another example of:
—Hillary controlling her own campaign instead of listening to younger staffers
—Hillary convincing the FBI to release the documents on Labor Day Weekend based on the ancient maxim that nobody cares about the news on Labor Day weekend
—Everybody talking to everyone about this and the strategy blowing up in Hillary’s face

I am beginning to enjoy this campaign!

That was my big prediction many weeks ago.
No prosecutor will indict Hillary because her medical conditions prevent her from forming intent. How convienent.

Noticed the vid of Hillary struggling to roll out of her handicap van. Hillary’s first three steps and she almost walks into a parked Mercedes. Just as if she was drunk.

Just wondering, when Hillary goes to big fundraisers and dances with Paul McCartney, do these worldly people, the self identified important people, ever notice something is wrong with Hillary?

Hillary lies so often, could she be playing up her health impairment for both sympathy and as a dodge to avoid jail??

Late Friday document dumps are so passe

All they do these days is document and red flag attempts at bad faith and an attempt to conceal
