Hawley: FBI ‘Effectively Meddled’ in 2016 Election BY Mairead McArdle
nationalreview.com ^ | 12/11/19 | Mairead McArdle

Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) said Wednesday that the FBI “effectively meddled” in the 2016 presidential election and did so with the backing of the Democratic National Committee.

“Which is worse? Is it worse to have a foreign government trying to meddle in our elections, or is it worse to have our own government meddling in the election?” the Missouri Republican asked Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on the inspector general’s report examining the origins of the FBI’s Russia investigation.

Horowitz’s report shows that “the FBI effectively meddled in an ongoing presidential campaign,” Hawley charged.

“You expect it from foreign governments,” Hawley said. “But when our own government does it, how can the American have confidence, and what do we do?”

I don't care how many times we are told the FBI is the greatest investigative unit ever in the world.

It's all bull.

Of course the FBI meddled. But they don’t do anything without orders. Subpoena and question Lynch under oath. Then ask Obama under oath. Won’t happen but its the only way to get at the truth. Always wondered if that weasel Comey secretly taped his conversations with Lynch.

Since the FBI’s candidate Hillary lost, I would say they ineffectively meddled in the election.

This isn’t the first time they did it. It is just the first time they got caught.

Thank you for posting, although it makes me cry whenever I see those images. The FBI murdered those Mothers and their children, for being members of a church the FBI and the Clintons did not approve.

Exactly, they report to the EXECUTIVE branch (President), they take orders from the top. If you elect a crooked President like Obama, you’ll “automatically” see problems like this. (It isn’t rocket science!)

The Middle East tyrants enriched Rat causes like the Clintoon Foundation, and then the Rats themselves tried to take away the votes of patriotic American citizens who voted for a proven leader over an irate loser. If the Rats don’t pay for their treachery, we’ll get more of it. At least we can take back the House and intensify our control of the Senate, not to mention get PDT a second term. Historically, in a landslide, after being impeached. Then investigate the Rat treachery, at least to inform future generations what to be careful to avoid.

All the crimes committed during this coup attempt need to be prosecuted fully and the string-pulling orders traced as far as they go. Bring it out into the light. When the leftist media refuses to cover it, THEY will be exposed also.

Consider that leftists win when the American Public loses its trust in its previously trusted institutions. The left will throw these FBI operatives and conspiring politicians under the bus - what does it matter when there is ultimate tyranny to gain ??

I wouldn't doubt it. He is a loathsome creature.

What did Obama know and when did he know it?
