FBI refuses to cooperate in Hillary Clinton email server probe
Washington Times ^ | 9/21/15 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 09/21/2015 6:51:39 PM PDT by markomalley

The FBI refused to cooperate Monday with a court-ordered inquiry into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email server, telling the State Department that they won’t even confirm they are investigating the matter themselves, much less willing to tell the rest of the government what’s going on.

Judge Emmet G. Sullivan had ordered the State Department to talk with the FBI and see what sort of information could be recovered from Mrs. Clinton’s email server, which her lawyer has said she turned over to the Justice Department over the summer.

The FBI’s refusal, however, leaves things muddled.

“At this time, consistent with long-standing Department of Justice and FBI policy, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any ongoing investigation, nor are we in a position to provide additional information at this time,” FBI General Counsel James A. Baker wrote in a letter dated Monday — a week after the deadline the Justice Department had set for the FBI to reply.

We’ll see. I’ve not seen one earnest official go after her yet.

“Each agency is its own feudal duchy, nominally answerable to the Sovereign but really answerable to no one. And each bureaucratic duchy has it own army to back it up.”

Believe me, the FBI is in no way, shape or form an “army.” If the FBI faced an army battalion, the FBI would run or be slaughtered.

For the purposes of dealing with suppression of the peasantry, each agency, including the FBI, has sufficient military force to constitute an “army.” How many armed enforcement troops (agents) does the Secretary of the Treasury control? In how many different armed agencies? The Department of the Interior, same question. I would be willing to bet that Energy and Education Departments also have their own armed enforcement or security detachments. Why?

In my lil ol pinion..which don’t mean much. I think Hillary is in trouble.

The way I read this, the FBI doesn’t want to give indications as to the direction of it’s investigation. They may have uncovered lotsa criminality and they are holding their cards close to the vest.

Just my read.

Makes me wonder how many of the imported Muslims are stationed/working at for the FBI.

Is that judge overseeing the stay of Obama’s immigration policy going to haul his ass into court for contempt?


Nope!

I would guess that the FBI as a prime information organization is loaded with some of Obama’s Muslim honchos. Just look at who the chief honcho is and from whence he came.

Could it be that the FBI doesn’t trust the State Dept, thinks it will pass any details it learns about the investigation over to the Clintons? Giving them a leg up in trying to counter or stop it?

That was my thought. If the FBI is in locked down mode then it could mean they are serious about investigating Hillary and don't want any leaks.

Hillary has said that she has about 1/5 of the Democratic delegates (the super delegates) committed to her which means to me that the only way she can lose the nomination is to drop out of the race.

Obama wants Biden not Hillary so this e-mail investigation is to get Hillary to drop out under threat of indictment. At least IMHO.

IMO that's just basic 'Sherlock Holmes' investigative protocol. You don't trust anybody or share your findings with anyone until you get a handle on what's going on. But as far as your suspicion goes I'd say that was highly warranted. The State Dept. has been jerking everyone around regarding Her Thighness. Congressional committees, FOIAs and the press have all been stonewalled and lied to.

This article is ridiculous though. The judge didn't order the FBI to share anything with anyone. I think that would be quite unusual for a judge to interfere that way in an ongoing investigation.

“For the purposes of dealing with suppression of the peasantry...”

Armed government thugs rounding up the peasantry is not an army. The phrase you’re looking for is “state-sponsored terrorist organization.”

Obama is behind much of this. I can smell his ichorous spoor all over the Hillary server issue.The FBI can neither confirm or deny that they kept their hands of the IRS when they committed fraud against conservative organizations. The FBI is just another Obama organization. Christians In Action is not, yet.

How many FBI personnel that were working there in the 90's are still there now?

Good question. May be quite a few. Some may have moved up to other powerful government positions.

As you say, it's been over 20 years, so it's probably a stretch to prove that those files are protecting her now. Must be some other reason.

Apparently, the 'Just Us" Department has decided she is one of them!

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

I heard this morning that the FBI has found all Hillary's emails that she said were personal and is doing there own determination which are and which are not. Not relying on the State Department’s assessment. I'm thinking she's in big trouble.
