Fox News: Contacts in the FBI and DOJ are 'Super Pissed Off' at the White House
PJ Media ^ | 1/30/2016 | Debra Heine

According to Fox News' chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge, her contacts in the FBI and DOJ are "super pissed off" at what White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said about Hillary Clinton's email problems Friday. "That's not something I'm worried about," he told reporters at the daily briefing.

Earnest threw cold water on predictions that Hillary Clinton will face a Justice Department indictment for mishandling classified information on her private and unsecure email server while secretary of State..

"That will be a decision that will be made by the Department of Justice," he said. "Some officials have said she is not the target of the investigation and it does not seem to be the direction in which it is trending." Pressed again on whether he believed Clinton could get indicted, Earnest said firmly: "It doesn't seem to be headed in that direction."

Catherine Herridge told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News Friday evening that her sources in the FBI and Justice Department have "their backs up" over Earnest's comments.

"That statement by Josh Earnest has got the back up of our contacts at the FBI and Justice Department for two reasons... They are super pissed off - to use a technical term. Number one, Josh Earnest has absolutely no clearance or visibility in the FBI investigation. Number two, they say it really seems part of a troubling pattern from the White House because the president earlier said he did not see any national security implications to the Clinton emails and then we found out he had never been briefed." Herridge said that by "weighing in and leaving the public with an impression that is not backed up by the evidence in the case," the White House was making the situation even more political than it needed to be.

When she mentioned the "troubling pattern from the White House," Herridge was referring to the October 60 Minutes interview in which the president called Clinton's use of a private server "a mistake," but said it had not endangered national security. He said the issue was being "ginned up" into an attack by Republicans for political reasons.

I am still curious who, if not HRC, is the target of the investigation?

Well, I think the Xlinton crew is much like a crew of thugs. To quote Cris Carter:

If you all got a crew, you got to have a fall guy in the crew, Carter said. If you all have a crew, one of those fools got to know, hes the one going to jail. We'll get him out.

I think the model applies here.

The DOJ and FBI is getting ready to give Hillary the glaring of a lifetime. She had better be ready, they are dead serious this time. Maybe even a little fist shaking will be involved.

Worse yet - she may be taunted a second time.

That job is a launch pad for big $$$ in crony capitalism.
As you can see with Bobby Gibbs (EVP McDonalds) and Jay Carney (SVP Amazon).


And the main job requirement is to lie with a straight face...

Killary and the Clintons—too big to jail. Of course, anyone else would be in jail already. They don’t comply with laws, why should we?

How about prosecuting/impeaching the following: Barack 0Bamma, Loretta Lynch, Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Josh Earnest.... That’s a start.

Unless they are pissed off enough to put their jobs on the line and tell the public the truth then it’s just more smoke being blown.

Off topic, but remember when that was one of Carlin’s 7 dirty words? I guess now it’s been replaced by “Redskins”.

I liked it better back then.

“I have a feeling the WH is saying these things to get those who are investigating so agitated they quit and in the end, nothing will happen.”

That’s probably the most accurate statement I’ve yet to read about this whole situation. We have some of the highest ranking members of the nation’s legal system under the thumbs of criminal syndicates who have managed to achieve the highest offices in the nation. People who have spent their whole lives and careers working to uphold the laws of our nation, and who are privy to blatent laws being committed by our so called leaders, sitting there with their hands tied out of fear of reprisals if they speak out.

Bill Gates of Microsoft.

He developed the editor that stripped the ‘classified’.

Or some lowly H1B from India.

First it was there as no classified emails. Then it was there are no emails marked classified. Now it’s there was no damaging information in the classified emails. We should March on Washington if she skates.

They could arrest Hillary and hope the Congress will impeach Obama for interfering with the investigation. Good luck with that.

We need some congressmen to start an additional line of attack that will REALLY concern the NSA and friends. Make anyone who wants freer/easier government surveillance defend Hillary. Explain/defend Hillary before demanding Apple provide a backdoor to my phone.

If "simple carelessness" (as Hillary puts it but still a crime) is enough to enable the highest level of secure documents to end up on a private server and in the cloud then we CANNOT allow mass surveillance, or any surveillance without a specific warrant. Just think what someone could do if they intended to use the information for blackmail or sell it. Hillary has shown that the information is not safe and the government doesn't care enough to press charges.

I'll admit that I am against any surveillance without a specific warrant and I don't care about the threat of terrorism, drug dealers, child porn, or whatever the latest example they want to use. Hillary is a prime example of why Apple should not be forced to provide a backdoor to their encryption. Everyone who wants a backdoor should be pissed at her because I have a specific example of why it's dangerous. I'm pretty sure the private key to my phone will not require higher security clearance than the documents she has. Nobody cares about me - but lots of congressmen, CEOs, and other high profile individuals use the same devices.
