The road not taken: Another FBI failure involving the Clintons surfaces
The Hill ^ | 08/22/19 | John Solomon

August in Washington can be the political equivalent of an elephant graveyard: One good rain can wash away the dirt and expose the bones of scandals past.

And this August did not disappoint. Thanks to the relentless investigative work of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), we are learning that the Hillary Clinton email case may not really be settled.

A staff memo updating the two senators’ long-running probe discloses that the FBI — the version run in 2016 by the now-disgraced and fired James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok — failed to pursue access to “highly classified” evidence that could have resolved important questions.

The failure to look at the evidence back in 2016 occurred even though the agents believed access to the sensitive evidence was “necessary” to complete the investigation into Clinton’s improper transmission of classified emails — some top secret — on her unsecure private email server, the memos show.

To make matters worse, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has known about that decision since at least 2018, thanks to the work of the DOJ’s internal watchdog, Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz, who provided DOJ leaders and Congress with a classified appendix explaining what happened.

They don't call it the deep state for nothing.

The President can remove a civil service person if there is proof that they’ve committed a crime but he can’t summarily fire the entire rank of employees.

They may not be able to be fired, but I could clear the entire DC head quarters by reassigning every member to another field office with order to report to their new place on Monday. If they object the stock answer is "Your resignation has been accepted". Pick their new duty stations out of a Hat that just happens to not include NYC.

FROM THE ARTICLE: "But Johnson and Grassley have been unable to get answers for a year, even from Attorney General William Barr, about whether the FBI intends to look at the critical evidence it skipped back in 2016."

It has taken a while but, it's time for people to realize that this is all just pond scum in the swamp and nothing ...NOTHING, will come from any of these investigations that will satisfy people who believe in following the law.

Wm. Barr summed it up with one word during his confirmation hearings when Lindsey Graham asked him if he trusted Robert Mueller and his simple answer was, "YES".

freepers should realize by now that the military nor the police will be protecting any of us.....they follow orders....they justify their actions...and they get life long pensions and no stinking Branch Davidian babies and children will get in their way.....

end police and military pensions....it entices these people to follow orders, not their minds, hearts and souls.....

on a larger note, didn't we all understand that when they got away with burning those children alive and there was not one peep from the govt nor the media that life in the USofA had changed for the worse, forever...
