After Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting, FBI Scrambled to Find and Punish Source, Emails Show
Newsweek ^ | December 15, 2017 | By Max Kutner

After news broke about an airport meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in the midst of last year’s presidential campaign, the FBI scrambled to identify the source who leaked details about the encounter and discipline him or her, according to emails released on the FBI website on Friday.

The internal emails show that on June 29, 2016, a senior spokeswoman for the Justice Department emailed her counterparts at the FBI to flag articles that were starting to appear about the meeting. In the email, the spokeswoman, Melanie Newman, described the encounter as “a casual, unscheduled meeting.” She provided talking points, which are redacted in the released version.

That same day, multiple FBI officials sent links about the story to Comey, who responded to one email, “Got it, thanks sir.” Also on those email chains were FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whom President Donald Trump and others have accused of a pro-Clinton bias because his wife received money for a political campaign from entities associated with Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton ally; and Peter Strzok, who was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team because of text messages critical of Trump. Strzok oversaw the Clinton email investigation.

Glad to hear the FBI thought its primary mission was to protect the Democrats...

The pattern of the previous admin (the regime) - agencies have a mission.

NASA: Muslim outreach

FBI: 'Rat outreach

Just fire every Democrat in the FBI. Democrats can’t be trusted. That’s it.

Obama's legacy will be that he utterly DESTROYED our federal agencies by stacking them from top to bottom with TREASONOUS, TRAITOROUS, LYING SCUMBAGS.

And over in the military Obama was demoting and outright firing many of our PATRIOT Generals and officers serving there.

Make a witness to a crime, sign a non-disclosure agreement, stating that if they disclose the crime they observed, they will charge them with a crime.

I’d like to see that conversation, I can think of several reactions I’d like to see.

This FBI has gone from disappointing, to despicable to downright diabolical.

This dog needs put down.....
