Just in case your sensibilities haven’t been offended enough, the FBI wants you to know that your interest in Hillary Clinton’s emails is less important than protecting her privacy. Therefore, the FBI says it will not be releasing any more information on the subject. In effect, the FBI is telling you to go to hell and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it.
In March 2016, Ty Clevenger, a New York City lawyer sought government correspondence on the subject of Clinton’s emails under the Freedom of Information Act. Earlier this month, the head of the FBI’s Records Management Division finally got around to answering Mr. Clevenger’s query. The FBI informed Mr.Clevenger that the Bureau has “determined you have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public’s interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject.” In other words, the FBI blew off Mr. Clevenger and the rest us. And it took over a year for the FBI to do so. Perhaps, the FBI also believes that Clinton’s privacy is so important that it justifies her deletion of over 30,000 emails, which were government records.
Given its terse reply, the FBI could have answered Mr. Clevenger the same day it received his inquiry, instead it deliberately stalled over a year before offending Mr. Clevenger and we, the public, with its ridiculous self-serving answer. The FBI’s reply recalls New York City’s Tammany Hall leader, Boss Tweed, who famously told pain-in-the-ass citizens, who dared question him about blatant public corruption, “What are you going to do about it?”

Evidently there are more than one petition being circulated.
Is there any way these can be combined or somehow co-ordinated?
Petitions don’t matter. The decision is a legal one. Evidence in an ongoing, or even closed, investigation isn’t normally made public for some time after. Someone with the standing to request it be made public would have to show harm or benefit from the information. Curiosity doesn’t qualify.
‘personal privacy interests of the subject’
Uh, I thought the emails were/are Government property so they belong to the public, no? How can we fight the corruption when the Govt agencies protect the criminals??? The American people are FED UP with CRIMINAL Democrats flaunting their corruption with no consequences!!
Sign the petition!
Sign the petition.
Apparently some ‘top sekrit’ emails about yoga class and illegal funding of Chelsea’s wedding.
Not a clue.
Just sign them all.
Sessions really needs to buy himself a pair of man pants and ditch the panites
Paging Mr Assange-—white telephone please—
I thought Trump’s nominee was in at FBI Director? Is this who is saying no?
In retrospect, Clinton's loss in 2016 looks less like a populist uprising and more like a Deep State-enforced retirement of an unreliable player.
Some of Trump’s picks for Cabinet positions leave a great deal to be desired. The Swamp continues - challenged but unabated.
The FBI Blows Off the Public.....
Been doing it for many years...
No, government doesn't work anything like that.
Government property does not belong to the public, it belongs to the government.
Example :The FICA taxes they take from YOU doesn't not belong to the public and certainly not you.
It belongs to them... they can and do with it what they wish.
Like how they spent the SS surpluses for decades on other stuff.
OMG who is in charge of our government? Where is Trump?
The FBI is blaming the public for their trying to cover for Hillary Clinton, nothing more. Their claim that the public doesn’t care is a lie. We care plenty. How though, are we supposed to show it when the news will cover for Hillary also.
Why isn’t Donald Trump doing his job?
Has he been paid off by the usual suspects?
