Re impeachment, they may well try it (certainly many of the more extreme types will push hard for it). But one could presume that such speech right now has a more immediate goal - the continuation of smear by innuendo.

And let's not forget that the last time the GOP set out on the impeachment thing, they got hammered electorally and Gingrich got the boot. On the other hand, these people aren't sane enough now to remember that far back or take any lessons from it. And they sure as hell aren't sane enough or ethical enough to consider how their behavior is damaging the entire political process in America.

@giujohn,
Simple. None of those emails were on her server so it shouldn't be a problem for you.

@blatham,
Hillary and her use of an private server in her home is the reason for the damage. Her continued lies and falsehoods about it and then playing dumb when she got caught. Compare her public statements from the start of the email fiasco to the statements she gave to the FBI and you will see she has been dishonest from the start. Add all the rest of the shady **** going down between Lynch and Bill Clinton and the timing of the whole encounter and we have damage the our election system.

The FBI would have testified to Congress about it and we would have seen it on WikiLeaks.

Not if they were in the 30,000 emails that were deleted. No one got to see those.

From Spencer Ackerman at The Guardian
Quote:
Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told the Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election.

Current and former FBI officials, none of whom were willing or cleared to speak on the record, have described a chaotic internal climate that resulted from outrage over director James Comey’s July decision not to recommend an indictment over Clinton’s maintenance of a private email server on which classified information transited.

“The FBI is Trumpland,” said one current agent.

This atmosphere raises major questions about how Comey and the bureau he is slated to run for the next seven years can work with Clinton should she win the White House.

The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.”

You're being too cute by half, george. Your implicit charge might have a bit more heft if I had quoted opinions about Clinton written in a newspaper published by her daughter.


I think you are projecting a bit here. Lash posted an opinion piece from an obviously biased source which I believe she accurately acknowledged. You do exactly the same here very frequently, but from differently biased sources. None of these things could be described as scholarly and neither you nor she claimed they were (though you may well believe that your's are) . But when she did something you do frequently you chided her contemptuously for the "scholarly" bit. THAT, to use your phrase, was "too cute by half" .... and a bit hypocritical as well.

I made no "charges" at all : merely pointing out the double standard.

@engineer,
Let's be clear here the FBI has stated that Hillary's server was exposed to at least 5 foreign National security agencies. On that server would have been special access program information. This would have exposed methods names dates places Etc. This would certainly place human Intel operatives in jeopardy both now and in the future. That's treason man... Plain and simple.

@blatham,
The FBI does not favor Trump as much as they are like everyone else in that they hate Hillary. It's kind of like with Putin if he is responsible for the hacks it's not because he loves Trump or wants to see Trump as president so much as he hates Hillary for her interfering in his Nations election. It's not like Julian Assange loves Trump and wants to see the president as much as it is how much he hates Clinton. Do you see a pattern here? It's all about how much everyone hates Hillary because they know he's nothing more then a lying piece of ****

‘Biggest Scandal In US History’ Developing As Official Confirms Clinton Emails Found on Weiner’s Computer

"... it’s just about to break ..."
by
Jack Davis
November 3, 2016 at 5:08pm


Even as federal officials were confirming Thursday night that emails from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s days as secretary of state have been found on former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop computer, a reporter who helped break major pieces of the email scandal’s unfolding story predicted the “biggest scandal in U.S. history” is ready to break loose.

The emails found are not duplicates of ones that were reviewed by the FBI in its earlier investigation, CBS quoted a federal official as saying.

The emails came from Weiner’s wife and close Clinton aide Huma Abedin, who separated from Weiner after he was involved in sending lewd pictures of himself to various women, allegedly including an underage girl. Jerome Corsi, a senior staff writer at WND.com, stumbled onto the scheme in August when looking at emails released by the watchdog group Judicial Watch. He pieced together the address where Abedin was sending them.


“As soon as I had that, I realized that she was sending many classified State Department emails offline to Yahoo, which is completely insecure. She was sending both emails she received at State.gov and emails she received at the private server,” Corsi explained.

Other sources have noted that Abedin forwarded emails to herself to print outside the State Department. Corsi noted that as he pieced together the picture, Abedin was not alone.

“Hillary was sending emails from Clintonmail.com to Huma Abedin at Yahoo.com. They were both involved, and they completely compromised the State Department security, because anybody that had the password or username could read, in unredacted form, all these emails in real time,” Corsi said.


Corsi said there is no question there was sensitive, classified information included in these emails.

“Some of them that I found and published had been marked classified by the State Department,” he said. “One in particular I remember was a Sid Blumenthal email. It came to Hillary. She sent it to Huma, and Huma sent it to herself, and the State Department marked it classified.” Blumenthal is a longtime Clinton confidant.

Corsi said there had to be an extra device in the mix that was used. That device was found when the New York Police Department began its investigation of Weiner.

“It was really the FBI and the New York Police Department that decided to go knock on Weiner’s door with a search warrant,” Corsi said. “Once they found the computer and the emails, they knew they had a case. This way, they didn’t have to go get permission …”


Corsi said what Abedin and Clinton did was more than a violation of procedure.

“That’s obviously a major felony in violation of federal security laws for handling classified information,” he said. “You can’t do that.”

“This was such an obvious violation of law, and perhaps leading to an espionage case or a treason case, that when presented to [FBI Director James] Comey, he really had no alternative than to go forward,” the WND report said.

Corsi said that, to him, the NYPD involvement was crucial.

“With the NYPD in on it, in addition to the Department of Justice in New York, there’s no way to contain the case by saying you’re not allowed to pursue it from the FBI’s point of view. The New York Police Department said, ‘Well, we’ll pursue it,’” he said.

Corsi suggested Clinton and Abedin moved all the emails in preparation for a pay-to-play scheme.

“This is a crime scheme that stinks,” Corsi said. “I think this WikiLeaks and this cache of 600,000 emails from the State Department, plus the other documentation we’ve gotten over time, I think this is going to be the biggest scandal in U.S. history, and it’s just about to break.”

FBI finds emails related to Hillary Clinton's State Department tenure

CBS NEWS
Last Updated Nov 3, 2016 7:54
The FBI has found emails related to Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state on the laptop belonging to the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, according to a U.S. official.

These emails, CBS News’ Andres Triay reports, are not duplicates of emails found on Secretary Clinton’s private server. At this point, however, it remains to be seen whether these emails are significant to the FBI’s investigation into Clinton. It is also not known how many relevant emails there are.


Trump and Clinton push on as race tightens
In a letter to Congress last Friday, FBI Director James Comey indicated that the agency was taking steps to review newly discovered emails relating to Clinton’s private email server. Those emails came from the laptop of Weiner, a former New York congressman. Abedin reportedly said she had no knowledge of the existence of any of her emails on Weiner’s laptop. On Monday, CBS News reported that the FBI had obtained a warrant for the emails.

In a separate matter, CBS News confirmed that there were disagreements between FBI agents looking into the Clinton Foundation and their superiors in Washington and at the Department of Justice. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the FBI was facing an “internal feud” over how to handle the Clinton Foundation case in the middle of election season. Officials say tension like this is common in many cases.

It is still unclear whether the FBI inquiry into the Clinton Foundation was a full-blown investigation. The current status of that inquiry is also unclear. However, no known charges have been filed related to the foundation.©

Clinton emails: Clinton, aide discussed sending secure cell phone via FedEx

AP
Nov 3, 2016 8:57 PM EDT
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton and a senior aide discussed sending a secure cell phone to the secretary of state by FedEx or a personal courier, according to emails released Thursday. The State Department said either approach would have been acceptable, if the telephone was rendered inoperable for the journey.

The unusual exchange from 2010 begins with Clinton confidante Huma Abedin telling her boss that she would mail the secure phone from Washington before her husband, then-Rep. Anthony Weiner, takes her to the airport. Clinton asks if one of Weiner’s assistants could make the delivery.

“OK I will (redacted) just fedex secure cell phone from dc. Anthony leaving office to bring me to airport now so hopefully will make it just in time,” Abedin writes in the afternoon of Aug. 2, 2010.

“Maybe one of Anthony’s trusted staff could deliver secure phone?” Clinton responds four hours later.

The emails show the degree of trust Clinton had for Weiner before he was hit by scandal. Abedin is perhaps Clinton’s closest aide and Bill Clinton officiated at her wedding to Weiner.

Abedin recently separated from Weiner after the latest in a series of sexually explicit text messages surfaced from the one-time rising star of the Democratic Party.

Clinton and Abedin wrote to each other using private email addresses outside the State Department’s system, a practice that has roiled the Democratic nominee’s campaign for the presidency. Clinton has apologized for using a private email account connected to a server in the basement of her New York home. The FBI announced last week it was examining emails found on a computer seized from Weiner during its unrelated investigation of his sexually explicit texts to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina.


Weiner resigned his seat in Congress in 2011 after accidentally posting on Twitter a picture of himself in his underwear, which he intended as a private message to a woman who was not his wife. In 2013, the publication of further messages killed his campaign for New York mayor.

It is unclear where Clinton was at the time of the emails. State Department schedules listed no public events for her between July 27 and Aug. 2, 2010.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said it was unclear how the phone might have been delivered, or if it was at all. He said officials wouldn’t speculate.

But Toner stressed that the options mentioned by Clinton and Abedin would have been appropriate, if the necessary safeguards were taken.

“In 2010, secure cell phones were available to State Department employees, and they could be configured in such a way as to render them suitable for transport. When configured in this manner, the device would be inoperable until paired with additional components,” Toner told The Associated Press.

A secure cell phone would be shipped through a carrier that provides tracking, like FedEx, and an individual outside the State Department would be allowed to deliver the device.


The use of secure cell phones is commonplace among State Department staff when traveling to countries with advanced cyber espionage capacities, such as China or Russia.

When the FBI interviewed Abedin as part of its emails probe, she told investigators that Clinton’s team “would sometime use secure cell phones when they were traveling but they were not used on every trip.”

“Secure phones were only used when traveling in hostile operational environments,” Abedin said, according to the FBI’s notes of the interview. “The secure phones were maintained by Diplomatic Security (DS) and would be provided to the team.”

The exchange over the secure phone was among 1,280 pages of emails that the department released Thursday. The department received the documents from the FBI and received a court order to release them under the Freedom of Information Act. The documents weren’t among the 55,000 pages of emails Clinton provided to the department in 2014 and which have already been published online.

Of those previously released, the department classified more than 2,000 emails, mostly at the “confidential” and next-highest “secret” levels. Twenty-two emails were withheld entirely from publication on grounds that they were “top secret.”

No new classifications were made Thursday. Many of the new documents are “near duplicates” of those previously released, Toner said.

They have a good claw in two Clinton insiders, Huma Weiner and Anthony Weiner. The more pawns that fall the closer they are to getting some witnesses to flip. The investigation of Bill Clinton Inc. has been going on for a year....the heat is on high.

@Brand X,
I have reason to believe a cataclysmic release will clean up Washington. It has far-reaching implications and will take down the Clintons and their high-ranking lackeys across several agencies and institutions.

Should be soon.

Thank you Weinerman. Our long national nightmare is almost over.

FBI launches internal investigation into its own Twitter account

Quote:
An FBI tweet may have crossed the line.

The FBI has launched an internal investigation into one of its own Twitter accounts.

The account at issue, @FBIRecordsVault, had been dormant for more than a year. Then on October 30 at 4 a.m., the account released a flood of documents, including one describing Donald Trump’s father Fred Trump as a “philanthropist.”

But it wasn’t until two days later, when the account tweeted documents regarding President Bill Clinton’s controversial pardon of Marc Rich, that the account began to attract significant attention.

The account has not been active since that tweet.

ThinkProgress has learned that the FBI’s Inspection Division will undertake an investigation of the account.

Candice Will, Assistant Director for the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility, said she was referring the matter to the FBI’s Inspection Division for an “investigation.” Upon completion of the investigation, the findings will be referred back to the the Office of Professional Responsibility for “adjudication.”

Federal law and FBI policy prohibit employees from using the power of the department to attempt to influence elections.

Will was responding to a complaint from Jonathan Hutson, a former investigative reporter who now works in communication in Washington, DC. She did not respond to requests, via phone and email, for further comment.

Nancy McNamara, the Assistant Director of the FBI’s Inspection Division, also confirmed to Hutson that she had received the complaint. She copied Voviette Morgan, a 19-year veteran now serving as Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles office.

News of the internal investigation is at odds with the FBI’s official position, which is that the Twitter account followed all FBI procedures.

“Per the standard procedure for FOIA, these materials became available for release and were posted automatically and electronically to the FBI’s public reading room in accordance with the law and established procedures,” the FBI said in a statement.

The strange tweets come days after James Comey released a letter revealing that the department was reviewing some emails that could be relevant to the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The Justice Department opposed release of the letter, arguing that it violated department protocols.

Since that time, there has been a series of leaks about FBI activity that appear to be designed to damage Hillary Clinton and benefit Donald Trump. An anonymous source for example, leaked to the Wall Street Journal that there was an investigation — including “secret recordings” — into the Clinton Foundation. The New York Times, also citing anonymous sources, reported that the FBI believed that Russia was just trying to disrupt the U.S. election, not help Donald Trump.
