I would have to agree with this. Someone called it a Red Herring being put out there by the media.

It is the same FBI group that was unable to determine if Russia hacked into her personel server

To be accurate the FBI said if they did they probably couldn't be traced

"I am really confused here. I can’t decide if this is satire or real, or both."

I am afraid that it is real, and it is very sad. When you see corruption at the highest levels of our U.S. government, you have to assume that it's infected the entire barrel. CD

The FBI investigating the many crimes that are shown in the email. Bribery, fraud, election fraud, corruption, conflict of interest and other crimes are documented in the emails.

Now bring in the other "investigative agencies" that have a stake in both the investigation and the outcome: Secret Service, FBI, FEC, Homeland Security, House Intelligence Committee, NSA, Justice Department itself, and many others.

This will need a special prosecutor before it is concluded....and there is no stopping it now.

Why don’t they investigate that jackass Mexican President who was bad-mouthing Trump and the other assorted politicians in Britain and wherever who have taken shots at him.

Go ahead FBI. Why don’t you take a trip to Russia? I’m sure Putin will welcome you with open arms if indeed you think the Russians hacked the DUMBNC. But prepare for a long stay because he won’t put up with your shat and fake investigations.

The FIB could not find a cheeseburger at McDonald’s at lunchtime much less a hacker.

The FBI couldn't find their ass with both hands while standing at PARADE REST!
