Joe DiGenova: FBI agents refused orders to destroy laptops and they still exist
American Thinker ^ | October 30, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Joseph DiGenova, a former US Attorney and Washington, DC superlawyer is no flake. He has plenty of contacts within the FBI and a reputation to protect. So I take his words on Sirius/XM’s David Webb show quire seriously, as reported by Kerry Picket of the Daily Caller:

Washington D.C. attorney Joe DiGenova said on The David Webb Show on SiriusXM Friday night that despite the FBI agreeing to destroy the laptops of Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson as part of immunity deals made during the initial investigation of Clinton’s email server, agents involved in the case refused to destroy the laptops.

“According to the agreement reached with the attorneys who handed over their laptops, the laptops were to be destroyed per the agreement after the testimony was given –the interviews were given – – by the attorneys. The bureau and the department agreed to that,” DiGenova said. “However the laptops contrary to published reports were not destroyed and the reason is the agents who are tasked with destroying them refused to do so. And by the way the laptops are at the FBI for inspection by Congress or federal courts.”

DiGenova said the laptops have already been subpoenaed and the FBI is waiting for Congress to ask for them.

If true, it indicates that a serious rebellion was underway in the FBI, with agents refusing a direct order.  Although I am no lawyer, I suppose they might have regarded the order as illegitimate, part of a conspiracy to destroy evidence. It is possible that Comey knew of this rebellion, and that this knowledge shaped his decision to write Congressional leaders on the resumption of the investigation.

Now that DiGenova has gone public, how long until the laptops are subpoenaed?

I heard Joe say this on David Webb’s show last Friday, which means that if true then there is still a treasure trove of evidence for a future Special Prosecutor to comb through.

How long before certain FBI agents wind up on Hitlary’s list of suspiciously deceased?

Unless she wins, she doesn’t have that power.

I so want this election to end with a total defeat for the Ds.

Or, there is evidence (Wikileaks, etc.) that those immunized (Mills, Abedin, et al) have violated their immunity agreement. That looks to be the case with Mills, "we've got to clean this up" comments and also the Wiener laptop emails just turned over.

Those who defied should be given promotions in the FBI by Trump

In nearlt all situations, I believe in being honor-bound by your agreements.

However, when dealing with criminals, which is what most of these Clinton aides are, where is the honor? By being immunized from prosecution, it would be expected that they’d be forthright and honest in answering questions. Instead, we got pleadings of the 5th, numerous “I don’t recalls”, and obvious stonewalling and attempts to obfuscate, all in order to protect the Clinton bitch and smugly thumb their noses at us, the great American unwashed.

Many of thsee frequent memory ‘lapses’ are, without question, unprovable lies, spoken with smug impunity under oath. (Except for Hillary, who apparently doesn’t have to answer under oath...)

They don’t deserve the FBI sticking to the terms of the agreement, IMO. Screw ‘em all...

It’s called justice and CYA.

If this is true, Hillary is just the tip of the iceberg. Do you think Obama is isolated enough not to be dragged into this?

Maybe Lynch and Hillary were just really good friends and she acted alone in helping her. Could be, considering Lynch had a friendly moment on the tarmac with Bill. If she were that close to the Clintons it would all make sense.

If DJT wins next month all this will go away largely because The Former Twelfth Lady will be finished.If she wins these laptops will be the source of lots and *lots* of fun.

Fun for *us* that is...not for the Rats.

Just wondering.... Does the Obama clan have a legal name for their memorial library?

Where will the facility be located?

Is the outfit registered with Guidestar?

I was at a Halloween party last night. If I had known this latest development was coming, I would have purchased an orange jumpsuit or orange flannel PJ and a Hillary mask, What a lost opportunity!
