A Fox News inquiry about an alleged quid pro quo involving a senior State Department official and Hillary Clinton’s classified emails apparently was so sensitive that then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was called on to give his approval, according to newly released emails disclosed as a result of a federal lawsuit.

The 10 pages of email traffic from mid-October 2016, just weeks before the presidential election, were obtained by Judicial Watch as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit and were revealed Monday. They showed that the FBI's top brass quickly circulated Fox News' questions about an alleged offer from the State Department's then-Under Secretary of State for Management, Patrick Kennedy, to give the FBI additional personnel slots in Iraq in exchange for the FBI reducing the classification of a Clinton email.

Almost all of those executives have since left the bureau -- some fired, others reassigned, demoted or retired.

Felons all. Why not just go after them with the DOJ? At worst, you can bankrupt them with legal fees and make their lives hell.

The top echelon of the FBI under Obama, Lynch and Comey, was completely corrupt.

I hope the current leadership can bring it back.

I’m getting a “404” error. Has the story been taken down?

Standard operation procedure in the Obama/Clinton government.

Good to see you back, Bitt.

The offer was made, that is the crime.
Whether or not it was accepted doesn't matter.

In one word...intent.
In two words...criminal intent.
