FBI offers curious reason for refusing to turn over Clinton emails
Hot Air ^ | August 30, 2017 | Jazz Shaw

And here I bet you thought that the Hillary Clinton email scandal was over, didn’t you? No such luck.

The Daily Caller has a report on a puzzling development this month in the ongoing investigation. New York Attorney Ty Clevenger filed a Freedom of Information Act request in March of last year for a number of the Clinton emails which were under scrutiny. Now, seventeen months later, he’s finally gotten his answer. Nope. The FBI is refusing to turn them over. The reason? Because the petitioner failed to demonstrate a sufficient public interest in making the documents public. I’ll give you all a moment here to pick your collective jaws up off the floor.

The Deep State will always protect itself.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation could not have happened without the full cooperation of BOTH parties.

When I read stuff like this it makes me wonder who’s running the show today. Trump needs to give Sessions a “come to Jesus” session, and give him some very specific direction with regard to the agencies under his direction.

They act with impunity because there are zero consequences.

Note: At this time we do not have a national e-mail address for public questions or comments. Some of our local FBI offices, however, do have their own e-mail addresses.

Trump owes the nation to clean up the FBI. It has become a political tool for certain politicians to wreak havoc. Their job is not to pass judgment that is for the courts to decide. Yet under Comey’s tutelage the FBI done just that. Now we are getting one lame excuse after another for failure to do the job they are designated to do.

PDJT is most likely just a speed bump, a minor nusance, on the road to serfdom.

The FBI is a political formation, designed to protect the un-American cabal that has taken over.
Look at the aggression they show when going after those opposed to the deep state, look at the protection they show people like hillary.

Hard cold fact. The FBI was started by a homo, as an outgrowth of the Wilson progressive era and has always used blackmail and illegal surveillance. Why should anybody be surprised today at how they are?

“Note: At this time we do not have a national e-mail address for public questions or comments. Some of our local FBI offices, however, do have their own e-mail addresses.”

Nice way off blocking legitimate questions from about 99% of the public.

Even, my anti tech wife, SIL’s and a couple of BIL’s in the past 5 years or so started using emails and texting to communicate instead of writing.

christopher wray became director of the FBI to replace comey about 1 month ago.

so comey & mccabe have been running the bureau for the 16 of the 17 months since this request for hildabeast emails was made.

so to specifically answer your question of “who’s running the show”: it’s still the swampers

David M. Hardy of the FBI’s Records Management Division should be standing in an unemployment line this afternoon, but preferably not in the United States.

The FBI toilet needs some serious plunger work to flush down the floaters.

The FBI reports directly to the DOJ.

Where the FCUK is Sessions?
