When did the premier law enforcement agency become so incompetent?
And why does that incompetence always work in Hillary's favor?
//The FBI didn’t flag that some emails from Hillary Clinton’s private email server were marked classified with a “(C)” when they were sent — something that seemingly would have been one of the first and most obvious checks in an investigation, and one that FBI agents instantly recognized put the facts at odds with Clinton’s public statements.
The Intelligence Community Inspector General noticed it after the FBI missed it, texts between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, reveal. “Holy cow,” Strzok wrote, “if the FBI missed this, what else was missed?”
“Remind me to tell you to flag for Andy [redacted] emails we (actually ICIG) found that have portion marks (C) on a couple of paras. DoJ was Very Concerned about this,” he wrote.
“Found on the 30k [emails] provided to State originally. No one noticed. It cuts against ‘I never sent or received anything marked classified,'” he wrote, referring to statements by Clinton downplaying the danger of her email practices.
Much of the more in-depth investigation considered whether Clinton and her aides emailed materials that were classified but were not marked as such, a harder determination to make.
The exchange occurred on June 12, 2016. FBI Director Jim Comey disclosed the findings of marked-classified emails to the House on July 7.
On May 10, 2016, Strzok had suggested that in his mind, the investigation was closer to being finished than to just getting started — suggesting that if it weren’t for the inspector general, it might have closed down and cleared her despite missing the most obvious first step.
“I cannot overstate to you the sense of urgency about wanting to logically and effectively conclude this investigation,” he said.
The ommission allowed Clinton to repeatedly and prominently state that she had “never received nor sent any material that was marked classified” on her private email server while secretary of state.
She even said so at major debates, and because the FBI hadn’t caught the letter (C), and therefore never stated its findings, PolitiFact rated the claim “Half True.”
When the FBI belatedly noticed and relayed the truth, the fact-checking site said “Now we know it’s just plain wrong.”//

The penny drops.
I have always been confused about Comey's indictment/exoneration news interview, where he laid out a compelling case to indict Clinton but then said, "Nope, not enough."
Prior to this presentation, the word was that Comey was facing a rebellion by FBI agents who knew that there was enough to indict Hillary and wouldn't put up with sweeping it under the rug. This article suggests that was the case.
So, probably, Comey's presentation was aimed at his FBI constituency and was intended to acknowledge what they knew but then "bafflegab" the presentation with "lawyerese" so that they might decide that he was acting in good faith and following the law.
If that's the case, Comey looks more corrupt.
//Republicans on key congressional committees say they have uncovered new irregularities and contradictions inside the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server.
For the first time, investigators say they have secured written evidence that the FBI believed there was evidence that some laws were broken when the former secretary of State and her top aides transmitted classified information through her insecure private email server, lawmakers and investigators told The Hill.
That evidence includes passages in FBI documents stating the “sheer volume” of classified information that flowed through Clinton’s insecure emails was proof of criminality as well as an admission of false statements by one key witness in the case, the investigators said.//
There is a cancer in the FBI and Deep State that needs to be excised.

Comey's Announcement Remains a Puzzle.
The FBI confirms that Comey wrote his memo exonerating Hillary months before he had his infamous presser laying out the case against her but then exonerating her.
If he was going to help the cover-up, why didn't he go all in and simply cherry-pick the investigation or just lie and say there was nothing there.
Perhaps Comey was just a prisoner of his own self-image of being an honest man. He knew he was going to participate in a corrupt deal but he wanted enough wiggle room to be able to look at his critics and say that he told the truth.
As far as I know, no one has ever explained that bizarre press conference adequately.
Comey certainly lacks the Clinton talent to "die with the lie."

Hillary's insiders have always known that her breach of national security disqualified her from running.
Everything they've said has been a gaslighting operation.
Everything they've said has been a gaslighting operation.
Why is this woman not in jail already.
General Petraus was court martialed for handing classified information to his biographer.
So, why shouldn't HIllary get the same treatment for letting Marina Santos print off classified information.
//In a classified 2012 e-mail dealing with the new president of Malawi, another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley, advised Clinton, “We can ask Marina to print this.”
“Revisions to the Iran points” was the subject line of a classified April 2012 e-mail to Clinton from Hanley. In it, the text reads, “Marina is trying to print for you.”
Both classified e-mails were marked “confidential,” the tier below “secret” or “top secret.”
Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.
From within the SCIF, Santos — who had no clearance — “collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton,” the FBI notes revealed.
Just how sensitive were the papers Santos presumably handled? The FBI noted Clinton periodically received the Presidential Daily Brief — a top-secret document prepared by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies — via the secure fax.
A 2012 “sensitive” but unclassified e-mail from Hanley to Clinton refers to a fax the staff wanted Clinton “to see before your Netanyahu mtg. Marina will grab for you.”
Yet it appears Clinton was never asked by the FBI in its yearlong investigation to turn over the iMac Santos used to receive the e-mails, or the printer she used to print out the documents, or the printouts themselves.//
Silly me....of course, I know that she is a Clinton and Clinton supporters think that the law only applies to the little people.

Well, at least knowing the result ahead of time takes the stress out of waiting for the DOJ to finish its "investigation."
We've never had a clearer view on how corrupt Washington really is.
//The hacked emails confirm that Podesta and Kadzik were in frequent contact. In one email from January, Kadzik and Podesta, who were classmates at Georgetown Law School in the 1970s, discussed plans to celebrate Podesta’s birthday. And in another sent last May, Kadzik’s son emailed Podesta asking for a job on the Clinton campaign.
“The political appointees in the Obama administration, especially in the Department of Justice, appear to be very partisan in nature and I don’t think had clean hands when it comes to the investigation of the private email server,” says Matthew Whitaker, the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a government watchdog group.
“It’s the kind of thing the American people are frustrated about is that the politically powerful have insider access and have these kind of relationships that ultimately appear to always break to the benefit of Hillary Clinton,” he added, comparing the Podesta-Kadzik meetings to the revelation that Attorney General Loretta Lynch met in private with Bill Clinton at the airport in Phoenix days before the FBI and DOJ investigating Hillary Clinton.
Kadzik's role at the DOJ, where he started in 2013, is particularly notable Kadzik, as helped spearhead the effort to nominate Lynch, who was heavily criticized for her secret meeting with the former president.
It gets better because, as we further revealed, if there is one person in the DOJ who is John Podesta's, and thus the Clinton Foundation's inside man, it is Peter Kadjik.
Kadzik represented Podesta during the Monica Lewinsky investigation. And in the waning days of the Bill Clinton administration, Kadzik lobbied Podesta on behalf of Marc Rich, the fugitive who Bill Clinton controversially pardoned on his last day in office. That history is cited by Podesta in another email hacked from his Gmail account. In a Sept. 2008 email, which the Washington Free Beacon flagged last week, Podesta emailed an Obama campaign official to recommend Kadzik for a supportive role in the campaign. Podesta, who would later head up the Obama White House transition effort, wrote that Kadzik was a “fantastic lawyer” who “kept me out of jail.”//

Hillary - Once a rapist enabler...
...always a rapist enabler.
I don't want to hear about "War on Women" until the Democrats stop enabling rapists.
From today's Wiki drop:
//Hillary Clinton's staffers knew as early as 2011 that Anthony Weiner had been messaging an underage girl, but they did nothing about it, according to WikiLeaks emails published Monday.
John Podesta - now chair of Clinton's presidential campaign - and Neera Tanden, another adviser, were forwarded news of an investigation into Weiner's online contact with a 17-year-old Delaware high school student by Jennifer Palmieri, the current campaign communications director, in June 2011.//

Laws are for the Little People, not for a Clinton.
Jonathan Turley looks at the information from the latest "Eve of Labor Day Document Dump" document dump and asks:
//There are also possible violations under obstruction, perjury, and violations of 18 U.S.C. 1001 that can be raised by such alleged conduct. I cannot imagine a private company or most individuals destroying an archive while under subpoena and not facing a series investigation for criminal charges. I may be missing something in this timeline, but it is hard to justify the destruction of an archive after the receipt of such a subpoena or constructive notice. PRN could claim that they were not subject to the subpoena but the record indicates that they were aware that a congressional committee was demanding all email evidence on the private server. Moreover, one would expect that one of the large number of lawyers working for Clinton would have immediately contacted their contractor to tell them to halt any further deletions or scrubbing and to preserve all records. Even when files are deleted on regular schedules in corporations, the Justice Department has reacted with charges in some cases for the failure to halt such “house cleaning” measures. This was not even a regular practice but an effort to scrub computer after the State Department demanded records and then a congressional committee sent a subpoena.

Let's make her President!!!
She can't work a cell phone and after 30 years in government she doesn't understand classified intelligence.
But she does understand how to sell off access for big bucks.
//Hillary Clinton suggested to FBI investigators in a July interview that she had little understanding of classified information when she served as secretary of state.
Clinton told FBI agents she could not remember ever receiving any training for how to preserve federal records or treat classified material.
"Clinton could not give an example of how classification of a document was determined," the FBI wrote in its notes.
"Clinton did not recall receiving any emails she thought should not be on an unclassified system," the FBI wrote.//

Put on your surprised fact, but it turns out that when Hillary said that she had turned over all Benghazi emails pursuant to the Congressional subpoena....
....she was lying.
//The FBI successfully recovered nearly 15,000 emails previously deleted from Hillary Clinton's private server, and we now know that at least 30 of those emails discussed the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.
These newly discovered Benghazi emails will add fuel to the fire surrounding Clinton's decision to use a private email server while she was Secretary of State and could raise further questions about whether she fully cooperated with an investigation into the attack that killed four American diplomats in Libya on September 11, 2012.
Even as this revelation adds a new dimension to Clinton's ongoing email scandal, it also brings the whole investigation back to where it started. It was the congressional inquiry into Clinton's handling of the Benghazi attack that initially uncovered Clinton's use of a private email server. After being ordered to turn over the content of that private server to the committee investigating Benghazi, Clinton's lawyers hastily deleted nearly 15,000 emails and claimed they were not connected to official government business. The FBI's subsequent criminal investigation of her use of a private server while being Secretary of State resulted in some of those deleted emails being recovered via a variety of different means and, well, now here we are back at Benghazi.
The Associated Press reports that the existence of the emails was confirmed by the State Department on Tuesday in a federal court hearing. The hearing was part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative group that has filed federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuits seeking the disclosure of Clinton's emails. In response, the State Department said the FBI has turned over about 14,900 emails "purported not to have been among those previously released," the AP reported.
Previously, Clinton has told reporters and a congressional committee that all work-related emails were turned over last year—and even though these new emails may well turn out to be of a personal nature, it's hard to believe that any discussion by a sitting Secretary of State about a terrorist attack on a U.S. consulate would be completely non-work-related. The text of the emails will not be released for at least another month, while the Department of State reviews and redacts them, according to the AP.

The many lies of Hillary...
....a never-ending drama.
Colin Powell rejects Hillary's attempt to blame him for her violation of the law.
//Of course she had, and for her own reasons. She wanted to hide as much of her business as possible from journalists and congressional committees seeking information on how she operated. Given the gross intermingling of State Department and Clinton Foundation business, this was only prudent.
If Hillary had her way, no one would know that Clinton Foundation honcho Doug Band tried to get donor Gilbert Chagoury a meeting with the recent ambassador to Lebanon, and Hillary aide Huma Abedin (who, amazingly, held positions at both the State Department and the foundation) was extremely solicitous.
No one would know that, in the latest revelation, when Band wanted the crown prince of Bahrain to see Hillary, Abedin coordinated with him on trying to set up the meeting.
No wonder that Colin Powell finds Hillary’s effort to enlist him as one of the justifications for her private server so galling. Over the weekend, Powell told a reporter, “her people have been trying to pin it on me.”
Referring to a description of his email practices he sent to her (at her request), Powell said, “The truth is, she was using [her private server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did.”
No one forced Hillary to use her private email for State Department business in a manner so flagrantly against the rules that in any other circumstance (i.e., if she weren’t the Democratic nominee for president), she would be vulnerable to sanction and prosecution.
And no one forced her and her husband to run their foundation as a vast pay-to-play scheme whose inner workings must be shielded from public view. That’s her responsibility and no one else’s — certainly not Colin Powell’s.//

Did Hillary really say that FBI Director Comey found her to be truthful?
She's delusional.
//Hillary Clinton is getting hammered for saying on “Fox News Sunday” that FBI Director James Comey confirmed her statements on her email scandal were “truthful” – with one prominent fact-checker giving the claim four “Pinocchios.”
The former secretary of state cited Comey when asked to account for her repeated claims that she never sent or received material marked classified on her personal email account. When host Chris Wallace noted that Comey said those things were not true, Clinton disagreed.
“That's not what I heard Director Comey say … Director Comey said that my answers were truthful and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails,” she said.
The Washington Post Fact Checker picked apart that statement, ultimately giving it four “Pinocchios,” its worst rating for truthfulness.//
Let's give her the nuclear codes.

As a culture we are screwed...
//"I've got a question for you," said Collins. "Driving down the road, speed limit says 55, I'm doing 65. Have I broke the law?"
"You would have to ask the Highway Patrol," Lynch answered, as the chamber erupted in snickers. "He would likely write you a ticket," she added helpfully.
The dumbfounded Collins exclaimed, "I went to a small law school. We were taught the law!" He noted that he wasn't so sure about Harvard (Lynch's alma mater) though.
He repeated his question, "Did you break the law or not — 65 in a 55? My dad was a state trooper..."
"As I said before, you would get a ticket for that," Lynch answered.
"So you broke the law!" Collins exclaimed.
"You would be cited for that," Lynch offered. "That would be considered an offense."
We seem to have entered a moment in American jurisprudence where the law is a completely subjective concept, to be upheld based on mitigating circumstances like the importance of the lawbreaker, the color of his skin, and perhaps his political party.//
This is another example of the toxic corruption of the Clintons. The need to excuse their crimes results in sane people denying reality to absolve them.

The death of justice.
Is there an exemption for the disclosure of National Security information to attorney's to get "good legal representation"? Is that what Comey is implying in this clip.
I doubt it.
Here's the problem - Comey was explaining Hillary's motive in violating the law. Motive is not an element of the crime. The issue is "intent" - specifically did she intend to give security information to people who were not cleared to receive it.
Comey has basically conceded that Hillary violated the law.
A Facebook friend observes:
"The prime federal law enforcement agency in the country has essentially told the American people they they are no longer willing or able to serve the interests of the people. They serve the interests of a currently unelected presumptive nominee and the elites who protect her. That is, in my mind, nothing less than a coup d'etat. And we are all just sitting here with our mouths open while the other half of the country is playing arm-chair lawyer/judge/jury by claiming that they know there was no case against her in the first place (no matter what Comey explicitly said)."
And this is AFTER we had the spectacle of the IRS targeting political opponents AND nothing was done to punish the guilty or protect the innocent.
We owe these people nothing.
As an attorney...dumbfounded.
Perjury.
Congress is referring Hillary Clinton to the FBI for a perjury indictment. Given FBI Director Comey's recital of Clinton's lies, that seems like a prima facie case.

I just finished reading Witness by Whittaker Chambers and I am reading Alistair Cooke's account of the perjury trial of Alger Hiss....what a coincidence.
What I am now amazed at is the fact that although President Truman was a Hiss supporter and viewed the HUAC's accusation that Hiss had been a Communist as a "red herring" in the election campaign, the US Attorney's office still proceeded to try Hiss for perjury DURING the Truman administration AND even though Hiss was surrounded by politically influential friends everywhere.
What a difference in the idea of professionalism 70 years has made.

Fox News gets the credit. In an exclusive report published June 11, Fox News revealed that one of Ms. Clinton’s emails had a “portion marking” that identified the specific information contained in the “portion” as being classified. That means the information was sensitive and was legally protected.
The information had the lowest level of classification, Confidential. It discussed a phone call with the president of Malawi, Joyce Banda. Fox News included an information-rich screen shot of the email."

Felony Update.
Hillary wrote emails with classified information on her unsecured server.
Hillary wrote emails with classified information on her unsecured server.
Hillary Clinton wrote 104 emails that she sent using her private server while secretary of state that the government has since said contain classified information, according to a new Washington Post analysis of Clinton’s publicly released correspondence.
The finding is the first accounting of the Democratic presidential front-runner’s personal role in placing information now considered sensitive into insecure email during her State Department tenure. Clinton’s authorship of dozens of emails now considered classified could complicate her efforts to argue that she never put government secrets at risk.In roughly three-quarters of those cases, officials have determined that material Clinton herself wrote in the body of email messages is classified. Clinton sometimes initiated the conversations but more often replied to aides or other officials with brief reactions to ongoing discussions.
