Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert doubled down after the FBI dismissed claims that a Chinese state-owned company hacked former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons private email server.
'[P]artisan politics, sadly, are very much at play within some of the leadership at the FBI," the Texas congressman said in a statement late Wednesday.
The Daily Caller first reported that the FBI was notified of the purported hack in 2015, when the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) warned the bureau of the intrusion. The hack reportedly implanted code that generated a courtesy copy for almost all Clinton's emails -- which was then forwarded to the Chinese company.
A source briefed on the matter confirmed to Fox News the details of the Callers reporting. Gohmert also had told Fox News on Tuesday that the emails were obtained by a foreign countrys intelligence, though he declined to name the country in question.
But on Wednesday, the FBI sharply disputed the claims, saying it has not found any evidence the servers were compromised.
In his overnight statement, Gohmert argued it was the ICIG -- not the FBI -- that discovered the breach. He said the FBI conveniently omitted that detail.
CHINESE COMPANY REPORTEDLY HACKED CLINTON'S SERVER
Its not surprising that the FBI has not found any evidence regarding Clintons servers being breached, Gohmert, R-Texas, said. It was the Obama-appointed Intelligence Community Inspector General that discovered the breach. It was not the FBI that found it, so their statement was technically correct, but very deceptive in its omission.
The FBI also had referred Fox News to the Justice Departments Inspector General report, which was released in June, to push back on the Caller's reporting.

Hillary! Clinton declined to commment other than to say...
“At this point, what difference does it make.”
The FBI says it has spent thousands of hours investigating and found nothing. But, in an off hand comment, mention that they were limited by the fact that they lacked some of the key server equipment...
No kidding. You can “investigate” all you want, but if you don’t have the server, you will never find “evidence of intrusion”, will you. So, technically true. They looked and looked, and never found anything. Not even the infamous server.
Why do we have overlapping Inspector Generals?
What fetchin’ gov’t waste!
But we now know Clinton paid off the Chinese.
“It was not the FBI that found it, so their statement was technically correct, but very deceptive in its omission.”
Lesson #1729 in “spin”. Please pay attention.
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR!!! NOW!
Let's fix that to read: "But on Wednesday, reporters claiming to have anonymous sources within the FBI said that the FBI disputed the claims..."
Let’s remember that Sessions is supposed to be in charge of the FBI too.
What if she wasn’t hacked? Could she have sent along the password for $$$?
I wouldn’t put that past her.
Q:
“We have the server.”.........................
That would be treason....................
Every department has IGs.....................
I’m feel like I’m back in the Clinton Whitewater/Vince Foster days. The system is rancid and not a bloody thing is going to happen, except that DJT and his family are in danger, thanks to Magoo & his pal Mueller. I hope Trump pulls it all down (fire Magoo, Wray, Rosenstein & Mueller) before the midterms, if we lose the House things will be far worse. The media/Establishment firestorm that will follow will be our rallying cry.
I’m so poor I can’t even pay attention.................[rimshot]......
...oh, I suppose there's out-and-out "treason."
Its this kind of twisted denial that is so damning to the intelligence agencies.
Look for a Clinton Foundation contribution with a trailing 5 zeroes that divides evenly by the number of forwarded "courtesy copies" x $100k.
It'll be from a Chinese front, most likely.
Love that Texan Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert.
YOUR FBI
Now Slightly Less Believable Than Joe Isuzu
And Darn Proud Of It!
The FIB has no credibility on anything.
