After another release of documents, FBI finds itself caught in a partisan fray
Washington Post ^ | 11/1/2016

Posted on 11/01/2016 6:00:57 PM PDT by mathprof

The surprise tweet from a little-used FBI account came about 1 p.m. Tuesday, announcing that the agency had published on its website 129 pages of internal documents related to a years-old investigation into former president Bill Clinton’s pardon of a fugitive Democratic donor.

The seemingly random reminder of one of the darkest chapters of the Clinton presidency a week before the election drew an immediate rebuke from Hillary Clinton’s campaign — with its spokesman tweeting that the FBI’s move was “odd” and asking whether the agency planned to publish unflattering records about Republican candidate Donald Trump.

“Will FBI be posting docs on Trump’s housing discrimination in ’70s?” asked Brian Fallon.

For the second time in five days, the FBI had moved exactly to the place the nation’s chief law enforcement agency usually strives to avoid: smack in the middle of partisan fighting over a national election, just days before the vote.

The publication of the files related to the Marc Rich pardon inquiry, which an agency official said was done in response to pending public records requests, came as the Clinton campaign and Democratic lawmakers continued to fume over FBI Director James B. Comey’s decision with less than two weeks before the election to announce that he was effectively resuming a review of Hillary Clinton’s email practices.

I think that talk that we were hearing about a mutiny at the FBI was true. Way to go FBI guys. Clintoonie and her ‘RATS shouldn’t have rubbed the July 5th fiasco in their face.

FBI’s revenge. The Clintons thought they owned the FBI. They were wrong.

I saw it stated somewhere today that this account has been used to publically display docs once they fall under the FOIA. Or, it could back up that whole coup thing.

They should write:

After another release of documents, Hillary finds herself caught in her own web of deceit and corruption

The ComPost clearly didn’t get the message.The Community Organizer-In-Chief himself declared Comey’s move to be kosher.So any partisanship that exists is being manufactured by the Rats.

I'm not the one that put this together, but here's a bit of speculation.

There isn't much in this document dump. But, it's a reminder that Marc Rich's attorney was Peter Kadzik.

Who is Kadzik? He's now the assistant attorney general in charge of the DoJ's investigation into Huma Abedin's email cache.

Might this be a warning to Kadzik from the FBI?

This tweet was clearly a leak by Hillary loyalists to embarrass James Comey

Not the FBI. Or, not JUST them. Follow the Drudge headline re: insiders. Supposedly very high level intelligence operatives above the DOJ. Like NSA, et al.

They call themselves the counter coup.
