So gird your loins people.
****
I see the usual idiots immediately attempting to spin this.
Listen up: Horowitz’s MYE investigation was into the *FBI’S CONDUCT* in handling the Clinton email investigation.
He didn’t empanel a grand jury to investigate that.
****
Priestap is testifying that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the subject of a grand jury investigation probing how she came to have multiple accounts on a Blackberry device while she was Sec State.
****
If Clinton *never* disclosed these multiple email accounts on the Blackberry, & they found them on their own, and went an obtained the emails from Blackberry’s servers, and they found CLASSIFIED information in those emails up to and including Special Access Programs [SAPs]....
****
HELL YES there is a grand jury investigating this.
THIS DOESN’T INVOLVE THE PRIVATE SERVER AT ALL. THIS WOULD BE NEW.
****
Let’s take a poll! Who believes while Secretary of State, having both a private server *and* a personal Blackberry with multiple email accounts on it, Hillary was sending CLASSIFIED INFO by email thru the server but NOT thru the Blackberry email accounts? ...she did?...she didn’t...
****
Again I have to explain the obvious.
Gregory Craig once WAS the subject of a grand jury investigation.
Alas, now he no longer is.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
****
Because the grand jury FINISHED IT’S WORK AND INDICTED HIM and then that indictment was sealed until John Demers and Jessie Liu were ready to unseal it.
****
So people instantly leaping to assume the use of the past tense in that sentence to only mean the Grand Jury must’ve no billed Hillary are jumping the gun here.
A grand jury also ends it’s investigation when it RETURNS AN INDICTMENT.
Brian Cates
And the US Attorney who empaneled that grand jury can SEAL that indictment and hold it and wait until they want to unseal it.
Let me give you an example of this I’m already 100% positive about:
The sealed indictment/s relating to ANDREW MCCABE.
****
What do we *already know*?
Andrew McCabe engaged in illegal leaking, was investigated by the DOJ IG, admitted to MULTIPLE acts of perjury to OIG investigators, was fired, referred for criminal prosecution.
****
And?
Well after that, PUBLICLY, as far as the DOJ/AG goes, NOTHING.
No public announcement of a US Attorney assigned?
No public announcement of a grand jury empaneled?
****
But aside from the fact the DOJ *never made a public announcement about it*, we found out McCabe is/was being investigated by a grand jury for his leaking. And when we found this out in Sept. of last year, that GJ had been investigating McCabe for months to that point.
****
So all the people going “Well shit bro, if they’d launched a new email investigation of Clinton, they have TOLD US BY NOW!”, I can’t f**king roll my eyes hard enough at people who will never, EVER grasp how stuff actually works no matter how many times you tell them.
****
Literally NO INDICTMENTS COMING OUT OF THE DOJ has the start of it’s investigation publicly announced, the public identification of the US Attorney leading the grand jury announced, the end of the grand jury’s probe announced, whether indictment made/sealed.
****
I mean, why can’t some of you grasp this?
Is it, like, a mental glitch or something?
****
Quick, find me any public announcement by the DOJ about the start of the grand jury investigations of:
1) James Wolfe
2) Natalie Edwards
3) John Fry
4) Meng Wangzhou
5) Andrew McCabe
6) James Baker
Go head, I’ll wait.
[humming to myself]
****
So basically people keep asking me to *explain* why the DOJ isn’t doing something that.....
and pay attention here!
...why the DOJ isn’t doing something that is ALMOST NEVER DOES.
****
Think of how politically sensitive these investigations would be, how many of them involve nat. sec. issues and classified info.
And yet morons pester me endlessly about WHY ISN’T THE DOJ BEING COMPLETELY OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ABOUT THESE INVESTIGATIONS, WHEN THEY START, ETC?
