FBI releases Bill Clinton closed case files days before vote
Yahoo News ^ | Nov. 1, 2016

Washington (AFP) - The FBI has unexpectedly released documents concerning ex-president Bill Clinton's pardon of the husband of a wealthy Democratic donor, in a surprise move just days before the election in which his wife is seeking to become America's first female president.

The release of the heavily redacted 129-page report over the pardon of trader Marc Rich -- an investigation that closed in 2005 without charges -- triggered questions from Democrats already angered by the FBI's probe into hundreds of thousands of newly uncovered emails possibly linked to Hillary Clinton.

While the Rich documents were published online Monday, they received little notice until they were posted on Tuesday on a Twitter account for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's division managing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that had had no posts since a year ago, except for a small handful released simultaneously on Sunday.

"Absent a FOIA litigation deadline, this is odd," said Hillary Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon.

"Will FBI be posting docs on Trump's housing discrimination in '70s?" he added, referring to Clinton's Republican rival Donald Trump, a billionaire real estate magnate.

The FBI said the documents were posted shortly after they were processed, as with FOIA materials requested three or more times.

The reason for the release was to show that the assistant AG put in charge of the investigation, Kadzik, is a FOB from way back.

God bless you for this forum Jim, especially right now.

I agree. I am going to make a donation right now. It's a small one, but on my budget it's a big one.

Therefore, release all of the FBI files!!

“Pardons based on donations and payment are about as sleazy as it gets. “

So glad her deny and attack has finally come back to bite her in the ass in spades at just the very right moment.

As the saying goes "Someday your'e going to [insert inappropriate behavior here] the wrong person and it's going to a. Bite you in the ass. b. Come back to haunt you, c. Deny you the presidency and get you thrown in jail, and/or d. All the above. :D

I agree - some major machinations are in the works.

Something that we don’t know has gotten under Comey’s skin. And to what extent is Obama involved in these machinations?

I’d personally like to see the Presidential pardon power changed and limited to only a certain group of crimes. It ought to also limit any donations to the President or his political party to strictly a thousand dollars maximum from the pardoned guy.

Someone at the FBI is POed. Possible that the slander from the democrats behind the scenes is over the top. Most FBI agents are honest hard working professionels. The corruption there is in the upper crust.

FBI starting to build a public case for findings yet to be released? They are going to take massive political pushback for going after the Clinton mafia.

There was something in the air a while back.

I’m hoping the FBI, etc have finally had enough DC BS and are just going to blast the dam. Done right, this could take out thousands of people, and not only drain, but dry and vacuum the swamp.

The pushback from the people is being heard loud and clear by anyone with a conscience, and knowing it will not be righted by non-violent terms, the Patriots are forcing some hands to avoid having bullets fly. I only wish I knew how far it will go, but if not far enough the citizenry may have to up the ante and finish the job.

There IS a God and he is on our side.

If anyone noticed Obama suddenly supports Comey and has backed off Clinton. He may have been warned that his butt is on the line and he can only make it worse. I hope a pardon is off the table.

It must really gall a bunch of arrogant politicos to realize that they are indeed servants of the people and the people are the ones with the final say.
