FBI mistakenly gives 27 'embarrassing' Hillary Clinton emails to Congress, now asks for them back
Bizpac Review ^ | Sept 13, 2016 | Kathryn Watson

The FBI asked HOGR Chairman and Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz' committee to return the emails after including them in an Aug. 17 document dump that was supposed to be identical to an Aug. 16 document — but wasn't, according to Chaffetz.

"The problem is the second set had 27 emails more than the other one, which we were grateful for … only to have the FBI try to come back and recover those," Chaffetz said in a Monday hearing with intelligence community officials over classifications and redactions from the FBI investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server at the Department of State.

"Not because it was SAP (Special Access Programs) material — because it was embarrassing. That's why. It was embarrassing. But we should have had it in the first round," Chaffetz said.

I feel so safe knowing that our competent government is taking good care of our national security.

Comey himself is the FBI’s biggest embarrassment.

Who cares whether they are classified or embarrassing or what. They released them. Use the Pentagon Papers decision as a go by. Once in the public they can be printed.

Special thanks to the NY Times for their diligence in embarrassing Nixon et al. Now it is time for the chickens to come home to roost as a infamous sometimes religious person once said.

Which is why Hillary’s deplorables comment is so prescient. Those of us who understand who the enemy is ARE deplorable and irredeemable. We had best be because we WILL win. Maybe not today, maybe not even this year. When the globalists have sucked the last drop of blood from America WE WILL STILL BE HERE. We will endure and at some point we will recognize who the enemy is and we will deal with it. We are AMERICANS, we are not degenerate Romans, we are not the corrupt popes of the Dark ages, we are not the Mediccis of Venice, while we are the fruits of the English Empire we have never been or desired an Empire. The parasitic globalists may have brainwashed enough of us to suck the resources out of our country but they can not and will never be able to subjugate us. We have allowed a humiliating defeat to occur twice now. Once on 911 and again in the administration of 0bama but even if it takes us until the globalists have discarded the withered husk WE WILL STILL BE HERE as DEPLOARABLE as that may be for some.

There’s a pretty good video on FR someplace, of Chavetz ranking down the FBI spokesmouth after he disclosed they had decided which emails to release and what would be redacted.

Chavetz asked him where in the Constitution does it give that authority, and how his constituents had elected him to see the files, and how his committee members elected him to chair the committee and view the information.

He then asked a couple more questions which the FBI hack declined, or answered no.

He then produced a packet of paperwork, subpoenaing the FBI to produce all the un-redacted e-mails...the complete file.

He said: “Consider yourself served”.

These extra emails were released by the FBI on purpose. Why? So they could use it as an excuse to resist releasing any more (the really damaging ones). In retail it’s called a loss leader.

What about the fact her server was once backed up to the Google Cloud and than transferred back to another server.

Or

What about the laptop with the emails on them that was sent by US mail and lost in the mail? Who mails a laptop with important things on it and not back it up.

Who really has her emails? The NSA? The Russians? or Julian Assange. My guess is all of them.

obammy and Comey have ruined the FBI.
A once great investigative body has become politicized and its reputation will NEVER recover.
Keep covering for these criminal Clintons, obammy’s Reids and muslims.

1) There was nothing sensitive on Hillary’s computer.
2) The emails released to the public had to be heavily redacted because a lot of their content was too sensitive to release.
3) Some of the stuff given to Congress was too sensitive for Congress to see and had to be returned to the FBI.
4) But the important thing to remember is: There was nothing sensitive on Hillary’s computer.

I see now why I failed Logic 101!

I could have been an FBI agent!

;-)

(Good Post!)

If they are classified send someone at the FBI to jail, otherwise tell the FBI to grow a pair.

This is a bit off topic, but I notice that Comey’s excuse for inaction was that “no federal prosecutor would take this case to court.”

But no one has asked him: Whether or not a prosecutor would proceed with the case, did Hillary or her associates break the letter of the law? Yes or no? Did the FBI find anything that suggests evidence was destroyed? Do you discern anything that might be a pattern of using lawyers and attorney client privilege to muddy the waters of accountability?
