Did Podesta Hint At What Was Coming: "FBI Leakers Should Shut Up"
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 6 November 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/06/2016 4:03:26 PM PST by Rockitz

With just two days left until the election, John Podesta went on one of the Clinton campaign's "friendly" political talk shows to bash FBI agents leaking harmful info about their various investigations into Hillary's assorted criminal cases. In an interview that wreaked of a little desperation, Podesta lashed out at FBI agents saying "the leakers should shut up." With the interview occurring earlier this morning before the recent news that the FBI has balked, yet again, at bringing official charges against Hillary, it certainly seems possible that Podesta had advanced knowlege that a Comey announcement was forthcoming (see "Hillary Cleared As FBI Folds Again: Comey Says "Conclusions Unchanged From July" On Clinton Email Review").

I think what Mr. Comey did just 9 days ago was a mistake. I think it broke with precedent. I think it was criticized roundly by democrats and republicans. It was a mistake.

There is a reason for that policy. It looked like it was interfering in the election.

I think the men and women of the FBI are doing a tremendous job out here across the country. But the leakers should shut up.

That’s the problem. Hillary voters don’t care how corrupt she is. They are either the takers (just give me stuff that belongs to others), the revolutionary nuts who think socialism and communism are great, and the corrupt political class that gets rich and powerful by fooling the other 2 groups. None of these people are going to vote for anyone other than a corrupt Democrat.

LOL! Not your fault, Sasparilla. Listen, ANYTHING is possible with those weird and sick people. After all that’s come out in the past week alone, Hitlery seems capable of just about anything. Cheers, FRiend.

At this point I am beginning to believe that a Cabal that controls all the mainstream media, has supressed the news, has rigged presidential debates,has controlled voting machines (George Soros), has the backing of multi-billion dollar globalist conglomerates (Goldman-Sachs, etc.), is supported by internationalist syndicates (UN, “US” Chamber of Commerce, Saudi Arabia and Gulf States, EU, Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, etc.) is going to permit the BILLIONS of dollars at play here to be lost through a mere popular election. I am beginning to agree with Assange that regardless of any REAL vote, the bogus polls, the suppressed news, the untelevised crowds for Trump, is all a kibuki show to cover a rigged election.

If the leakers were biding their time, hoping that Comey was going to do the right thing, it is obvious that he hasn’t.

The leakers should release EVERYTHING. They should put all the juiciest stuff into one batch and let people know that it’s the meat of the story, and they should put everything else out there as well for all to see.

It sounds to me like the would be leakers have been played by Comey and the Clintons. Time to strike back. Time to leak EVERYTHING.

Let us not forget that back in the summer when the FBI cleared Hillary, she actually went down in the polls, to the bewilderment of her campaign and the liberal media. So this might not be the golden ticket they hope it is, people don’t like even the appearance that the powerful get special treatment...

It’s time for them to resign, step forward, and tell the truth about the dictator Obama, his ton-ton Macoutes Lynch and Comey and the criminal actions of Hillary Clinton.

No doubt Palmieri knew about the Comey letter before posting this:

Okay great. Well then you tell folks it’s a waste of time to vote.

I’m not going to.

I urge them to get out and vote.

Praying about it goes without saying, but evidently you thing nobody else knows that.

I sure hope so.

Bush taking a pass on all that Clinton’s people did, sure worked wonders didn’t it.

I think most people that know about the details were already not going to vote for her anyway. The people that get news from MSNBC and CNN don’t really know that much about it. our bigger problem than the dems is the MSM.

Podesta told the FBI leakers to shut up, so they did. The FBI is now a Clinton operated outfit.

I think you encapsulated this perfectly. Yes, there is no way they will allow Trump to win. Even Assange said so.

There’s more than praying, there is a heart relationship to the Lord that hears His voice.

One could even vote in Trump, and still be on a losing path.

I know you mean well, but these posts of your are simply annoying. They aren’t revealing new information. You try to cover everything from a deeply religious point of view, and from that point of view you just go nearly postal.

I don’t totally disagree with what you are saying, but I didn’t come here to get into an in-depth religious discussion.

I came here to comment on Trump and the news of the day.

If I wanted to get into the nity-gritty of how this all plays into religion, I’d be on Bible Republic.

I’m not.

I wouldn’t expect, of myself, to “reveal new information.”

I would simply hope for people to act on “old information” that is as old as the bible. That God giveth wisdom unlike that of the world.

You seem to want to hold out an element of disagreement with this... why?

That’s true, you aren’t, and that’s a mistake.

As for FR itself, it clearly has elevated God to a high position.

Yup. Sometimes what God wants us to do may sound absolutely absurd compared with worldly wisdom. That is especially true where the grace of God is concerned.

I think whoever wrote that meant to type"reeked".
