FBI has 'reopened' case on search for Lynch-Clinton tarmac meeting records
Fox News ^ | August 16, 2017

Posted on 08/16/2017 10:06:53 AM PDT by jazusamo

The FBI has "reopened" its consideration of a request for records on the infamous 2016 tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton, the group behind that request told Fox News.

American Center for Law and Justice President Jay Sekulow called the development a “positive sign,” in an interview Wednesday on “Fox & Friends.”

Sekulow said the FBI sent him a letter saying it had reopened his Freedom of Information Act request for documents related to the June 2016 meeting. At first, the FBI and DOJ said they did not have documents detailing the tarmac meet-up, before recently releasing a batch of emails. They are now searching for more records.

“While we appreciate that the FBI has ‘reopened’ the case file and is now ‘searching’ for documents responsive to our duly submitted FOIA request from more than a year ago, it stretches the bounds of credulity to suggest that the FBI bureaucracy just discovered that ‘potentially responsive’ records ‘may exist’ on its own accord,” Sekulow said in a written statement.

Baloney. Those posers have no intention of doing anything that smacks of law enforcement unless their RAT masters approve it. And the RATs aren’t going to approve of investigating any klinton. They might throw Lynch under the bus, but not the klintons.

A week ago I would have thought the Rats would not be so bold as to try to remove Trump. At the time I thought they had to realize that the country would burn, Antifa’s shenanigans would be comparatively like a Sunday School Picnic. After reading freerepublic for the last several days, I don’t think so. The Rats are gonna go for Trump’s throat and the RINOs will be there to stab his back and Trump is gonna be on his own. Too bad, really.

When you say “conservatives go on offense” what sort of image comes to your mind? Just curious.

A week ago I would have considered that a foolish bet but after the last couple days I do believe your are secure.

I’m beginning to suspect that Jeff Sessions intends to take NO action until all pertinent Statutes of Limitations have run out.

Yeah, whatever.

What happened to:

1. the bathroom server
2. Unauthorized people with access to H’s mail
3. What happened to Carlos Danger’s laptop?
4. Why did Carlos get a free ride to a sex addiction facility?

Investigating the crimes of Obama and Hillary with as much fervor as the Russia Nothingburger Investigations.

Oh stop, there has been no kill shot! This is the hundredth time the @sses in the media have declared Trump DOA, and they are always always wrong. This too shall pass.

Good grief.......

I heard that Sessions is working to enforce a warrant on the internet hosting company of the website that organized the anti-inauguration riots.

If successful, he’ll get the IP addresses, names, email addresses, etc. of, IIRC, a million antifa a-holes.

You can bet that every one of the paid rioters we have been seeing lately will be on that list.

We wouldn’t know about this if the hosting company didn’t make a statement about challenging the warrant.

It seems to me that Sessions is doing stuff in the background.

Justice is slow, but it’s coming...

And I forgot to add that when asked about this warrant, the DOJ refused to comment.

We’re not going to know much about the DOJ doings until the indictments actually come down.

So please have patience.

Which in your infinite wisdom will happen first? The Rapture or the indictments coming down?

LOL!

But really, I think this is a big story that is being missed by all the Sessions bashers on this site.

Just think of the gold mine of data on antifa that the DOJ will get! Let the a-holes wear their masks while swinging their bike locks and baseball bats.

With this data, we’ll know who they all are through their own stupid logins to the main antifa website!

Thanks, sport!

But DOJ has to win the court challenge against the warrant first.

This is why many times Justice is so slow in coming - these crap court challenges!

But DOJ seems to have good grounds for this warrant since it stems from the ongoing REAL prosecution of some of the DC anti-inauguration rioters that were arrested at the time.

But again, unless the hosting company makes another statement about the disposition of the challenge, we may know nothing until some indictments are actually handed down.
