Scandals: Among the many troubling revelations to have emerged regarding the FBI these days, one of the worst is finding out that an avowed Trump-hater softened language in a memo to exonerate Hillary Clinton.
Let's rewind the tape a bit. Until August 31, 2016, with the presidential election in full swing, former FBI director James Comey gave the impression that he hadn't arrived at his decision to let Clinton off the hook until after he had all the facts.
Then, in early November, we learned that an early draft of that memo had accused Clinton of being "grossly negligent" in handling classified material because she used an unsecured private email server while Secretary of State.
At some point during the editing process of that memo, "grossly negligent" became "extremely careless," which is how Comey put it in the final version.
The change was monumental. The criminal statute regarding mishandling classified material specifically cites "gross negligence" as a violation of the law, even if there is no intent involved. Had that language remained, Comey's claim that "no reasonable prosecutor" would take the Clinton email case would have been laughable.
So changing the language was obviously meant to clear the path for letting Clinton off the hook, whatever the facts might be.
But in late August we learned that, in fact, Comey and his team began drafting his get-out-of-jail-free statement for Clinton in April — right around the time President Obama publicly declared Clinton innocent of any crimes, and well before the FBI had interviewed dozens of key witnesses, including Clinton herself.

What’s really upsetting about this kind of statement... they are asking the question? They are saying it ‘looks like it’.. we’ll get nowhere if they don’t get it through their political minds that the proof has been out there for months and they ignored it.
If it looks like a duck.. walks like a duck.. quacks like a duck.... it doesn’t just look like a duck.. it IS a duck!
Comey, the FBI, hillary, the media, the democratic party, many republicans and many more entities.. all ignored what has been going on for years. It got worse under obama and they went full bore, believing hillary was going to win and they had their backs/sins/crimes covered until they could do the inevitable and take over everything... every constitutional protection we had... all would have been taken over, and the same as those above, ignored it. The frog was being cooked for years and they thought they had us... until the election did not give them their coverage.. they are still stunned... and full of vengeance for us ignorant voters who did this to them...
except the very same issues you have with the one stands for the other. Gender becomes race and the same optics apply.
Lock her up! Your not going to get Obama unlike Hillary he isn’t as big of a moron and was smart enough to not to leave his fingerprints. I will settle for both.
“Welcome to the United States of America, the World’s Wealthiest and most Powerful BANANA REPUBLIC on Earth, and we have Nukes!!!”
At least the BR’s have the moral turpitude to eventually execute their oppressors.
“I’m hoping it doesn’t come to the point where Hillary has to be charged”
Me too...hope she croaks ASAP.
Of course at the rate Jeff is plodding along we will all be gone before she is charged.
“The USA needs an IMPARTIAL investigation into government corruption—to include all government agencies!”
A military tribunal of WW2 vets.
Not just his mistress! She is a lawyer who works for the FBI. At the time she was assigned to the Special Counsel Team of Mueller. In June 2017 Lisa Page was added to Team Mueller due to her specialty in Money Laundering and White Collar Crimes. This link alone should be enough for criminal charges against Strzok, Page and Mueller. Not only did Mueller hide this evidence, he managed to remove Strzok and Page from Team Mueller and place them back into the FBI. This is where McCabe is involved.
Should be interesting the next few weeks. Watching Liberal criminals squirm is always worthwild.
Where’s the little duetschbag...AKA Sessions?
They wouldn’t have even had to be low ranking. The stupid part is of the public and how it is set up this way to protect certain people.
To get CAC clearance, you need to go through a series of film and written tests concerning OPSEC and COMSEC restrictions. This can use up a lot of time and will be extended with, possibly, daily upgrades or briefings from command level depending how bad the error was. And you cannot get access without signing off on the gained information, along with a supervisor and others up the chain. Even the lowest level of the military, in their book training for job knowledge and advancement have chapters in their studies about OPSEC and COMSEC every time they try to advance.
I saw on these boards a while ago where Hilary had signed off. She was well aware of the requirements. So she didn’t accidentally make a mistake, she screwed up and may have done it with a don’t give a $hit attitude.
A civilian falls under Title 18:
Sec. 798 (“Disclosure of classified information (a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the
United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information (1) concerning
the nature, preparation, or use of any code cipher, or cryptographic system of the United States or any foreign government; or (2) concerning the design, construction, use, maintenance, or repair of any device, apparatus, or appliance used or prepared or planned for
use by the United States or any foreign government for cryptographic or communication intelligence purposes; or (3) concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government; or (4) obtained by the processes of communication
intelligence from the communications of any foreign government, knowing the same to have been obtained by such processes - shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”); 18 U.S.C. 793(e), (f) (“Whoever having unauthorized possession
of, access to, or control over any [information] relating to the national defence, … willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it … (f) shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years”).
See also 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1030(a)(1) (punishing, with a penalty of up to 10 years, the willful retention, communication, or transmission, of
classified information retrieved through knowing and unauthorized access to a computer, with reason to believe that information “could
be used to the injury of the United States, or to the advantage of any foreign nation”); 18 U.S.C. Sec. 641 (punishing, with a penalty of up to 10 years, theft or conversion of government property or records for one’s own use or the use of another) (has been used to prosecute “leakers,” see Elsea at 13, note 85); Intelligence Identities and Protection Act of 1982, codified at 50 U.S.C. Sec. 421-26 (penalizes, with a
penalty of up to 3 years, the unauthorized disclosure of the identity of a covert agent, with reason to believe that such activities would impair U.S. foreign intelligence efforts; no possible charge for conspiracy, or aiding and abetting; only two convictions on guilty pleas).
She should have been convicted of gross negligence and penalized.

Thread BUMP! Thanks to every poster.
The rest of this year will fun for our side to read and watch the rats implode.
Best Election ever, continues to MAGA!
We will know that era by the never ending troop of
Democrat politicians, celebrities, and officials who
will be telling us that the American people are weary
of investigations and that it is time for all of us
to let bygones be bygones.
“She should have been convicted of gross negligence and penalized.”
She should be charged for her pay to play business activity, for hiding it by using a private email system, and for destroying thousands of documents under subpoena. Etc, etc, etc.
I wonder if Team Trump knows what her illness is and that perhaps her days are numbered. This may cause them to just wait it out. I rather was hoping she’d meet her maker sooner rather than later as well.
The entirety of Fedzilla has to cover up for the Clintons because they fear the exposure of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
I want her to meet her maker WHILE she is rotting in prison.
The United Nations???????????? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
It will get very interesting.
When the left wing thugs in the DOJ/FBI start outing each other to save their hides, like in Follywood and some of the TV fake news channels, it will get very interesting.
Former FBI agents and DOJ felons, do not want to go to a regular prison and become the nightly sex offering for the gangs in those prisons.
So we should see some of them rolling over on their peers to avoid jail sentences.
There’s more than that,also. I just got the basic one. And that one constitutes a possible 10 years in jail for one count.
