Hey Huey.... FBI formally confirms investigation is about Hillary

[The Tradition]

In a letter disclosed Monday in a federal court filing, the FBI confirms one of the world’s worst-kept secrets: It is looking into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Why say this at all, since it was widely known to be true? Because in August in response to a judge’s direction, the State Department asked the FBI for information about what it was up to. Sorry, the FBI said at the time, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any investigation.

Now, in a letter dated February 2 and filed in court Monday, the FBI’s general counsel, James Baker, notes that in public statements and congressional testimony, the FBI “has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

Baker says the FBI has not, however, “publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.”

He ends the one-paragraph letter by saying that the FBI cannot say more “without adversely affecting on-going law enforcement efforts.”

The letter was filed in one of the Freedom of Information Act cases brought against the State Department over access to documents from Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state. This one was filed by Judicial Watch.

Oops

 

[Raglefant]

What a baseless witch hunt! Taxpayers should demand more...

 

[swagsurfer02]

I'm shocked, there must be some mistake.

 

[IMCC965]

Why don't you go ahead and post your home address and your bank PIN. You shouldn't have any problem doing this because that's essentially what Hillary did with U.S. secrets. Only difference is, posting your stuff won't get anybody killed.

So? How about it?

 

[UNIowaHawk]

Regardless, everything will get swept underneath the rug.

the FBI “has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

Baker says the FBI has not, however, “publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.”​

I see nothing in either of those statements that the investigation 'is about HRC' or that she is the target of the investigation.
But, maybe I'm just intelligent enough to await actual charges against her or her aides on the matter before screaming 'fire' every other week...

Yeah, they're just looking to see if Hillary's server did something wrong by itself ....

 

[joelbc1]

What did you all think the FBI was investigating in the first place?

 

[swagsurfer02]

What did you all think the FBI was investigating in the first place?

Obviously if there was any wrongdoing by that damn rogue server!

 

[joelbc1]

Obviously if there was any wrongdoing by that damn rogue server!

Is that what the FBI is investigating? I thought it had something to do with "secret" e-mails not being properly protected....

 

[swagsurfer02]

No, the server was being careless and didnt protect itself. Very loose with the information it contained. Give it a couple shots and information just flows.

That's ridiculous. There is no evidence of wrongdoing and if it was anyone other than a woman, there wouldn't even be any questions asked. Pubs will stop at nothing to soil the image of a true patriot who has honorably served her country and will be our next president!

Yes, Hillary is being attacked because she has a vagina.......allegedly

 

[Raglefant]

Yes, Hillary is being attacked because she has a vagina.......allegedly

I feel as if you're not taking this accusation seriously. There is no doubt that the sexist Pubs are scared of a powerful woman and will do whatever is necessary to end her career.

 

[Herkmeister]

What a baseless witch hunt! Taxpayers should demand more...

To whom should I request an investigation of Mrs. Alford?

 

[Herkmeister]

I feel as if you're not taking this accusation seriously. There is no doubt that the sexist Pubs are scared of a powerful woman and will do whatever is necessary to end her career.

Really? 2016 & we still have a calculated glass ceiling? Really?

Except Sarah Palin ran for VP in '08. Since when does anyone have to end Hillary's career, she's screwed up enough by her own doing.

 

[Herkmeister]

Hill is the most caustic politician I have ever seen

 

[Raglefant]

Really? 2016 & we still have a calculated glass ceiling? Really?

If you think the men behind the curtain are actually going to let a woman be elected President, then I don't know what to tell you. From Benghazi to this BS email scandal, the fix is in and it's just sad that such a decent person has to be unjustly attacked like this.

Sure, I am just some dirt dumb farmer from Iowa, but I do not believe gender is the paramount issue. (That is one fine bullhead eating fish right there.)

 

[strummingram]

Hillary Clinton will NEVER be indicted, prosecuted, or anything else. I don't care what she may have done. People in her position are above the law... period. Thank yourselves and those who came before you. You all voted for it and you got it.

I have to apologize, I was hoping my fishing montage would adequately portray my insincerity as a sloppily executed trolling expedition. Hey, I believe in taking shots, learning, and iterating... failing is sorta my thing

No need to apologize my friend.

Yeah, she's slicker than Slicky Dick so she'll NEVER be indicted, prosecuted or anthing else......and they will go to a "special place in Hell" if you try.

Form letter. Delete "Hillary Clinton" and substitute "John Dillinger" or "Alphonse Capone."

 

[ottumwan in tx]

What did you all think the FBI was investigating in the first place?

I thought they were investigating some dude who put an anti-muslim video up on youtube while hill was gun running in Benghazi and getting an ambassador killed. see, it's the dude who put up the video-who is the bad guy. just like planned parenthood: it's always the folks making the video who are wrong, never the folks chopping up babies and selling the parts. never hill.

It's the right desperately clinging to the hope that Hillary gets nailed on this thing so that they can go into the Oval Office without being invited first.

Thread fails.

Mind explaining how the investigation is about her when the FBI hasn't said that it is? Or did you not bother to read your actual link? "the FBI has not...“publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.”

I hope she gets dinged bc of the stupidity of it all, meaning it was a really stupid and deceitful thing to do. No one should be above good common sense data security practices in this day in age...its common sense.

Why? The FBI has never said it's investigating her. This is just getting stupid.
