New FBI release on Clinton email probe refers to 'SHADOW GOVERNMENT'
cnbc ^ | 10/17/16 | Everett Rosenfeld

Posted on 10/17/2016 3:15:54 PM PDT by Tilted Irish Kilt

A new trove of interview summaries and notes from the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails lays out a series of allegations that could prove fodder for future attacks on the Democratic presidential nominee.

The 100 pages, released Monday morning, include claims that Clinton "blatantly" disregarded protocol. Other claims include that a group of powerful State Department employees attempted to coordinate a document release, and that a department official asked for a "quid pro quo" related to the former secretary of state's emails.

Many Republicans have criticized that decision, but FBI Director James Comey has repeatedly insisted the move was apolitical.

"I want the American people to know we really did this the right way. You can disagree with us, but you cannot fairly say we did it in any kind of political way," Comey said in July. "We don't carry water for anybody. We were trying to do what the right thing is."

One revelation in the documents came from an interview with an unidentified person who suggested that Freedom of Information Act requests related to Clinton went through a group sometimes called "the Shadow Government."

"There was a powerful group of very high-ranking STATE officials that some referred to as 'The 7th Floor Group' or 'The Shadow Government.' This group met every Wednesday afternoon to discuss the FOIA process, Congressional records, and everything CLINTON-related to FOIA/Congressional inquiries," the FBI's interview summary said.

It is not “shadow” anything, it is called treason, a hanging offense.

This one looks like a game-changer to me. Anyone now voting for Hillary Clinton is voting for an indictable felon if the “quid pro quo” was offered on her behalf. And only an innocent child would believe otherwise.

Fire everybody on the 7th Floor. I’m serious. This is not the first time that senior State officials consider themselves a law unto themselves and the unchallenged arbiters of U.S. foreign policy. Harry Truman fired the lot of them. Personally. I’ll volunteer for the job.

Sorry but I am suspicious. I suspect that some of this stuff may be disinformation, and I am leery about trusting an "unidentified Person".

Let's be careful folks and double source our information.

How is this the rule of law?
Could anyone else get away with all this?

People are rotting in jail for far, far less offenses.

A shadow government is exactly what it was. The SOS office was run through the Clinton Global Initiative. An entirely separate government behind or maybe in front of that feckless leader that’s been in the oval office the past 8 years

If this were a news "source" I couldn't agree more. But the skepticism you're asking for is unwarranted in this case.

This is not a anonymous news source.

This is an unredacted FBI account released under pressure from Congress. The source of this information is not anonymous: he or she is KNOWN TO THE FBI. That means this is a State Department employee offering what is clearly a testimony against their own interests, in a interview where it is a felony to lie.

That is not the same thing as some jerk telling a "journalist" some story that may or may not be verifiable or even true.

The Clintons are just errand boys for the true shadow government...look at the roster of the CFR to find the true leaders.

Suspicious of what and why?

Please pay attention: we are no longer a free society. This is the Matrix. If you are old enough, we, the USA, are now exactly like the former USSR we all pitied back in the 1950s/60s/70s/80s. The difference is, we have goods in our stores and you are free to shop if you have the money.

Nor is there no denial that these 7th floor meetings were held, that they dealt with important issues of national security and that quid pro quos were asked for. All the PTB claim is that there were no perks extended in exchange for redrafting charges.

The disinformation may well be that there were no exchanges of *favors*.
