FBI agents knew of Clinton-related emails weeks before director was briefed

The FBI agents investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server knew early this month that messages recovered in a separate probe might be germane to their case, but they waited weeks before briefing the FBI director, according to people familiar with the case.

FBI Director James B. Comey has written that he was informed of the development Thursday, and he sent a letter to legislators the next day letting them know that he thought the team should take "appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails."

Rudy Giuliani May be the FBI’s go to man. There are very few people they can trust.

That fits into the scenario I think is most likely: the NYPD has been looking at Weiner’s computers because of the sexting investigation and discovered Huma had classified info on the shared machine. Who are they likely to leak that info to? Rudy, who has always been the best friend of the NYPD.

Hey, whatever it takes to blow Hillary out of the water.

Ah... good ole tricky Dick.... those were the days when politicians knew when to quit......

Tricky Dick is redeemed as far as I’m concerned. He wasn’t this bad.

[virgil]

I think the Clinton camp knew about them weeks in advance too. That’s why she told everybody to get out and vote early. This is all spin and damage control.

Could have been tipped off by their progressive buddy, de Blabbio.

I suppose this vindicates your faith back in early September in FBI rank-and-file.
I feel the same way about the Border Patrol. They want to do their jobs too: law enforcement.
The problem has always been a lawless Obama and his `Wesley Mouch’s’.

I think Comey’s arm is still hurting from being twisted the first time, and that this time he did a little “play action” to give the arm twisters less room to maneuver as the clock runs down on the election. Under extreme pressure he gave them what they wanted, and now he is going to make them pay for it.

I think comby is a clintoon grifter first, last and always. Just look at his record!

The game here is to distract from proven malfeasance like Clinton Inc., and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKING THE FIFTH, and focus on airy-fairy emails.

"... the FBI is trying to put Trump in office!"

And well they should, if the FBI agents don't want to end up taking naps in Fort Marcy Park.

They know that payback's a bitch, especially when it's from a lying, murdering traitorous bitch.

I am unclear on when Abedin and Weiner’s personal computers and phones were confiscated by the FBI. After the first sexting that got Weiner kicked out of Congress, must have been 4 years ago, or, after the latest that caused his separation from Huma, about 6 months ago. How long has the FBI had their devices?

Payback is a bitch!

Maybe Deputy Director McCabe, who headed up the investigation, withheld information from Comey.

"Maybe Deputy Director McCabe, who headed up the investigation, withheld information from Comey."

The questions to be answered are: What did Hillary know about the FBI investigation reopening, and when did she know it?

Taking their time like this is a case of smart, patriotic bureaucrats getting their ducks in a row. If you’re going to go to your boss with something he’s not going to like, you better be absolutely sure you’re right before you go into his office. That’s what happened here, meaning there’s definitely hot stuff in those emails.

The NYPD rank and file is really pissed about the Witch getting in bed with the BLM assassins who murdered two of their brothers. Pissed off cops make bad enemies.

Nixon the Great!

I’ll bet NYPD has a backup of everything, just in case Comey ... “loses” ... the FBI info.

Yesterday someone posted that when a police department is investigating a case, they don’t work off the original data. They copy everything on to another drive and do their investigation using that data. So there’s an original and at least one copy.

[libstripper]

“The Trump camp had to know, Rudy Giuliani mentioned early in the week on Fox news that something big would be coming down this weekend.”

They knew and they probably know a lot more. NYPD cops hate the Witch because she supports the BLM murderers who assassinated two of their brothers. It’s payback time for the Witch, courtesy of the NYPD.
