Did A Corrupt FBI Give Hillary Clinton A Free Pass? Sure Looks Like It
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 12/07/2017 | Editorial

Posted on 12/08/2017 6:23:47 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Bill was accused of rape and Hillary openly sold her influence to Russia, yet they are beloved of the left.

Hah! — If that level of "grossly negligent" handling had been done by a 'nobody' in the military (eg a lower-enlisted), they'd be turning big rocks into little rocks in Leavenworth… if they weren't executed for Treason.

FBI gave her inner circle immunity in return for nothing.

And their computers were wiped, as I recall.

"Did the FBI give Hillary a free pass?"

No, they obstructed justice.

I’m hoping it doesn’t come to the point where Hillary has to be charged. The only reason I say this is because it will look so bad on the Republicans, putting an elderly woman through that. I dare say if she is charged we’ll very quickly find out about whatever illnesses she is suffering from - which will make optics even worse. The best scenario is for Hillary to lead to Obama. Now that’s the guy I would love to see behind bars.

The USA needs an IMPARTIAL investigation into government corruption—to include all government agencies!

There’s your collusion. A “justice is blind” FBI and DOJ would have let the chips fall where they may. If Hillary was indictable, so be it. That would not be interfering in the election, it would be justice taking its course. The real interference came in deciding to let the criminal Hillary remain a candidate, despite convincing evidence of High Crimes and Misdemeanors. And the fact that it was done so by a partisan is damning. Bernie’s people should be livid.

Charge her with the promise of no jail time. She has defense money. Punishment should be house arrest with Bill. Go after the lieutenants.

Now it appears that the infamous FBI philander/known Trump hater, Strzok, made those changes for Comey! (Did Mulehead/Comedy order Strzok to make those changes or did Hilliarily demand the changes? Did Obama/Lynch ask for those changes in wording.

FBI, Mueller Investigation Of Trump Is Politicized — Shut It Down!
12/04/2017 IBD OPED

Justice: One of the FBI’s “finest”, who worked on the Russian election-meddling investigation turns out to be a die-hard Hillary Clinton supporter who also worked on the botched Clinton email investigation. No, we’re not making this up.

The political contours and misconduct in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and the Russian government just get weirder by the day.

As the New York Times reported last weekend, Peter Strzok, whom the newspaper of record called “one of the most experienced and trusted FBI counterintelligence investigators,” was summarily demoted by Mueller last August.

Strzok, one of the lead investigators into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information on her private server, played a similar leading role in investigating the Trump campaign’s supposed ties to Russian officials seeking to undermine the 2016 election.

So why did Mueller let him go last August?

It turns out the married Strzok, that FBI paragon, was tweeting bad things about Trump to an FBI lawyer “colleague” — in fact, his mistress.

Thanks to Travis McGee for the above. As more crap about these acts of treason floats to the service, Travis, may need a Cray computer to keep track of the criminals in DOJ/FBI and Obama administration involved in this treason.

From the FR Minority Report:

HRC deserved the “Free Pass” having paid
millions of dollars to the McCabe and Comey
and Mueller families alone, through the Clinton Foundation’s
fungible money obtained through taxpayers,
treason and children raped and killed and their organs
and blood harvested.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How about sending in UN investigators?

Seriously. The United Nations routinely investigates fraud, corruption and election irregularities in the banna republics.

The United States may be a first class nation, but we just held a third world election.

Fortunately, the right person won.
