FBI Now Investigating DNC Emails: Instead of Blaming Republicans, Dems are Now Blaming the Russians
Townhall.com ^ | July 25, 2016 | Justin Holcomb

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is once again involved with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. On Monday, the agency confirmed that it is investigating the release of thousands of e-mails that explicitly show tactics used to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the Democratic nomination.

And once again, one of Clinton's counter-parts has suddenly resigned as a result of a tumultuous scandal.

"The FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC and are working to determine the nature and scope of the matter," the agency said in a statement. "A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace."

Usually, when Clinton is attacked on her record and mischievous, reckless, and outright criminal behavior, she blames Republican conspiracy theorists. This time, with no one to blame but herself and the DNC for their constant security failures, she is blaming the Russians.

Yes, but the Russians invented baseball, and George Will is a known baseball enthusiast. So There.

The Texas big shots have told the Bernie delegates if they boo they’ll lose their convention credentials. So much for free speech.

Could it be the FBI is using this as an excuse to look at all the emails without having to get a warrant? Just a thought. But doubtful.

My response exactly. When the FBI let Hillary off the hook, after detailing all of her criminality, the FBI became irrelevant. Fidelity? Bravery? INTEGRITY??? Now the Dems will refer ALL their criminal acts to the FBI, because they know the FBI won’t do squat if the perp is a Dem.

The Russians held a pistol to her head and forced her to write those emails....and then they did the same to all the democrat operatives.

Those sneaky pa ruskies!

They FORCED them to put their thoughts, schemes, and corruption in print.

There should be a RED line in the sand....

FBI and State dragged their feet for months and months investigating the Hillary emails, but all of a sudden this is a priority.

“They are just trying to force Trump to put out his tax returns”

Trump said that he emailed them to Hillary. Maybe she deleted them.

Yep. What if they find Hillary to be source of the leaks? I guess that statement is no longer operative, as they used to say in the Nixon White House.

Well, by that logic, the DNC never intended to have these e-mails hacked, so, they’re off the hook for the content, right?

Demwits blame it on the Russians. Russians will blame it on the Ukrainians. And so on...

In a situation like this, I always like to take a step back and say, what if they are right.

If another country is trying to influence US elections, that is wrong and illegal. Look at what the Saudis have said about funding a quarter of Hillary's campaign. That is just wrong.

However, Putin, if this is a Russian hack is just messing with the DNC. Despicable, but are there any fingerprints that Trump requested this? Probably not. So let's assume that the FBI says yes the DNC was hacked by Russia.

So what did the DNC write those emails? If they didn't can they produce the actual emails? If the DNC knew the emails are false, why did they throw Debbie under the bus?

Has China, North Korea and Russia hacked all kinds of federal and private institution servers? Yes. Are they crimes yes! Are the victims criminals? No.

So what if Russia hacked the DNC and released their dirty little secrets. Russia is evil. Now we know that the DNC is also evil as well.

The media is trying their best to establish a link between Putin and Trump and then they can blame the RNC. Even if they can’t establish a link, which they can’t, they will simply make something up. It really is their only chance to get by with this debacle.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your heart it will creep...

Well, here’s the whole thing. Are we having a flashback? Am I reliving the sixties that I was too young to understand at the time?

For What It’s Worth”

There’s something happening here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking’ their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, “hooray for our side”

It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

We better stop
Now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

We better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

Ya think maybe her unsecured server was maybe the ENTRY point for the leaks?

That would be interesting; but I think there's a higher probability of the Iran Deal being connected in Hillary's SoS e-mails than this DNC stuff. You are correct that if there's a connection between Hillary's e-mails and these e-mails it'd definitely be interesting and probably have interesting implications as well.
