redacted = transparency

When viewed in that manner it tends to make sense.

Well, anyone remember FBI’s Lisa Page said China did some hacking?

I thought the FBI always says, “No comment”.

Wonder how much she charged.


Hehehe. You’re probably closer to the truth, there.

I hope I love to see this corrupt collection of clowns permanently put out of business.
The FBI is a Federal Police force with absolutely no Constitutional justification.

A pack of crooked dirty cops from the top boss to the lowest private.

Sixteen hours after President Trump tweeted about a right-wing media story alleging that China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private email server, an FBI official is refuting the report in a comment to NBC News, a left wing media outlet....you filthy bastards.

The official refused to identify himself but claimed the inspector general’s report said so. However, the IG report said there is “no forensic evidence” to back up the possibility that a hostile power hacked Hillary’s emails. That’s not the same as affirmatively saying there was no hack. In fact, the IG said a hostile power may have hacked it. The fact there is no evidence is not conclusive proof there was no hack. The evidence was probably “erased” — “like with a cloth.”

So as far as I can see an unidentified FBI official is refuting the claim that the Chinese hacked Hillary’s server. I’m just a wee bit tired of these non identified officials making claims. Too convenient if you ask me.

Isn’t this old news? It was in some report or someones testimony.

Hillary smashed a bunch of her devices and used “Bleach Bit” on others. How could the FBI know. There were a total of 5 servers.

Is the FIB paying the Gerbilist to get the message out?

Maybe someone failed to disclose vital info to the IG. He’s not infallible.

Don’t believe anything that comes out of the mouth of Ken Dilanian. He’s a mouthpiece for Fusion GPS and I bet his name is on Session’s list of reporters getting inside info from the FBI.

When did the FIB recruit Richard Gere?

Oh, an “ANONYMOUS FBI Official.” Their source might be a corrupt lie factory leaking illegally. Or they made it up. NBC’s article is a fact-free rehash of the known corrupt non-investigation. Gohmert’s allegation — that Hillary’s server was sending a “courtesy copy” of every email to a particular address — can be true without “hacking” or evidence of intrusion. Notice how the anonymous source doesn’t really address the original claim?

How could the FBI assess Hillary’s various servers hen she had wiped the hard drives and done away with them? I presume the “no intrusion” claims derive from logs kept by Brian Pagliano. The guy who pled the fifth and had an immunity deal because ... everything was perfect.

Gohmert needs to push the issue.

A credible, independent examination of the whole

You have to be an idiot to believe that hacking was required.

What about the Weiner laptop? Hillary's emails were copied there but the FBI was surprised by that finding from the NYPD!

They can miss the copies to the Weiner but they are certain about the Chinese? How about the Paki's access to the DNC?
