REPORT: The FBI put its 'A-team' on the 'extremely serious' Hillary Clinton email probe
Business Insider ^ | 08/30/2015 | Natasha Bertrand and Michael B Kelley

Posted on 08/29/2015 7:46:30 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The "extremely serious" investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state is being led by an FBI "A-team," an intelligence source told Fox News.

The source said the investigation is centered around 18 US Code 793, a section of the Espionage Act related to gathering and transmitting national-defense information.

Two emails reportedly found on Clinton's server from 2009 and 2011 contained information regarded as "Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information," one of the highest levels of classification.

The two emails were drawn out of a batch of 40 randomly selected from about 30,000 "work-related" emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department from her time as secretary of state, from 2009 to 2013.

Some of the information — such as communications intercepted via satellite or drone — is protected under the law 18USC798, which means they have tighter rules and higher penalties.

Massimo Calabresi of Time recently noted that the law "makes it a crime not just to knowingly mishandle such secrets, but also to use them 'in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States.'"

As a result, the FBI's investigation has gone "way beyond what the intelligence community's Inspector General ever would do," a senior intelligence official familiar with the case told Time.

Earlier this month the New York Times shed light on the FBI's "unusual" decision to run the investigation out of its headquarters in Washington, DC.

"Nearly all [FBI] investigations are assigned to one of the bureau’s 56 field offices," according to The Times.

Wouldn’t this be something?

That was the subject of Willard and Bammy’s golf game. A lot of balls/cards were played. It is a game of chicken since Bammy doesn’t know all the dirt PIAPS has in her files.

Remember the photo of her in the room with all the other top government officials watching as Bin Laden was taken down?

Remember how she said she didn’t have any other cell phones or computer systems besides her private, personal ones?

Yet, she wants us to believe she never sent or received any classified information while she served as our Secretary of State?

When she was invited to the big Bin Laden takedown?

Anybody who supports Hillary Clinton after all this information has been revealed is stupid or a traitor and probably both.

“Field offices” ? You mean like “cotton fields” ? That’s raciss...

But seriously, if Obama wanted to be succeeded by Hillary, he could squash this investigation and would have done so from the start.

It’s looking better for Biden.

THE FBI NEEDS TO CONNECT THE DOTS --- All possible connections WRT emails, State Dept activities, and donations to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation must be explored.

FACTOID Clinton and her senior staff routinely sent foreign government info among themselves on unsecured networks several times a month. Within the 30 email threads reviewed by Reuters, Clinton herself sent at least 17 emails that contained this sort of info. In at least one case it was to a friend, Sidney Blumenthal, an individual not employed by the US government.

The cunning Clintons are hiding plenty.....however, smirking Sid's emails should sound numerous L/E alarms.

DOCUMENTED CONSPIRACY AND COLLUSION TO DECEIVE In 2009, the Clintons duped the public, by announcing Clinton crony Sidney Blumenthal, had been hired...... (wait for it) "to work at the Clinton Foundation on a project to promote Bill Clinton’s presidential legacy. "

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

But Sid's secret emails show that, while on the foundation payroll, ostensibly "promoting Bill's legacy," Blumenthal fed back-channel, usually unreliable, intelligence reports on Libya to then-Secy of State Clinton.

Hillary sent Sid's reports on to senior State official without attribution......as if they were her analyses.

========================================

REFERENCE The NYT reports extensively on Blumenthal's secret emails to Hillary (emails she did not want revealed):

<><> the Clintons announced Blumenthal was hired @ $320,000 per year by the Clinton Foundation to "promote Bill's presidential legacy",

<><> at the same time Blumenthal was tight w/ American Bridge and Media Matters — two Democratic groups aiding 2016 Clinton's effort,

<><> Blumenthal was also a paid advisor to businesses seeking Libyan contracts (compromising US ntl interests, by marketing his influence at the State Dept);

<><> Clinton Foundation employee Blumenthal was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya, paid $320,000 per year;

<><> at the same time, Sid also pocketed $200,000 a year from Clinton political ally David Brock's media operations for Hillary 2016.

The real question is who has more dirt on the other: the Clintons or Obama?

The Clintons are expert at collecting dirt. Obama has control of the FBI and other investigative resources.

Obama wants a successor who will cement his legacy. He does not seem to trust that Hillary is the one to do that.

Is all of the current negative news about Hillary just an attempt to say later — next summer — that Hillary was fully vetted and none of the negative allegations proved true?

Step 1) declare that the best of the best is investigating
Step 2) late, declare that only mistakes were made but no evidence of law breaking

Step 3) accuse republicans of attacking women

It appears there has been no suspension of her Classified Status. Therefore nothing is being done. You don’t investigate when the subject has the ability to see what you are doing in real time.

Is Obama just waiting for the proper time to drop the bomb on Hillary? When would he pull the plug on her? Has Hillary threatened Obama with a 'Samson' maneuver if he does it? Would she do it? Is Obama pulling strings to get Biden to run? Is Biden just being coy or does he really want to run?

So many questions come to mind.

Sadly, you are right. Nothing would do this nation better than to see high level lawless politicians & judges in stripes and/or impeached & convicted.

If a news story comes out in a “reputable” MSM outlet that has suddenly found out shocking pieces of information about Urkel’s legally sealed past, you will find the Hillary investigation will go absolutely nowhere.

Despite the overwhelming sleaze of the Clintons they have a lot of well connected sycophants out there willing to do anything for their idols and there is no such thing as sealed documents.
