Is The FBI Now An Arm Of The Democratic Party?
2016-10-09
[INVESTORS] Justice: The FBI once was known as incorruptible, a legendary enforcer of American law that fought traitors, spies, organized crime and government corruption with equal fervor and fearlessness. Recent revelations about the FBI's moves during its investigation of Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ...
's rogue email server suggest that that FBI no longer exists.

Of particular relevance are the so-called side agreements signed by the FBI with high-level Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson as part of the investigation. It's important to note that both of these aides were in the thick of things in Hillaryland, and surely knew much about Clinton's likely illegal use of a private server and her exposure of U.S. secrets.

Those side deals essentially tied the hands of the bureau in its investigation. And that was the FBI Director James Comey's intent all along -- to keep from having to do what it knew should be done, and that is indict Hillary Clinton for repeated "careless" violations of national security law, and for subsequently lying about them to the FBI and Congress.

A letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., to Attorney General Loretta Lynch was summed up as follows by Andrew C. McCarthy, a former U.S. attorney and now a columnist for the National Review: "Pursuant to these side agreements, it was stipulated that (a) the FBI would not scrutinize any documents dated after January 31, 2015 (i.e., about five weeks before the most disturbing actions suggestive of obstruction of justice occurred); and (b) the FBI -- in an investigation critically involving destruction of documents -- would destroy the computers after conducting its search."

Let that sink in for just a moment. This sounds not like an investigation but a carefully choreographed cover-up.
'Carefully choreographed is it?' Same could be said for gay synchronized swimming I suppose.
If so, this will surely do long-term and perhaps irreversible damage to the FBI's reputation for evenhandedness. Worse, it looks a lot like the FBI is now being directed by Democratic politicians outside the bureau -- a frightening prospect in a nation that is built on the idea of equal application of the law to all citizens. If the director of the FBI can be suborned by political leftists, what does that say about the rest of our government?

For those who say forget it, this is old news -- it isn't. Just this week, the Washington Examiner reports, a new bunch of emails have been handed over showing high levels of complicity between Hillary Clinton's State Department office and the Clinton Family Foundation.

"The trove of roughly 200 pages of records made public Wednesday was just the latest and most convincing indication that, rather than operate as an independent organization, the Clinton Foundation leaned heavily on the State Department (while Hillary was secretary of state) to expand its global reach," the Examiner wrote.

So the FBI's cover-up, far from being a trifling favor paid to a political patron, turns out to be part of a much bigger cover-up of the numerous corrupt linkages between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation. If so, this is criminality on a massive scale, dwarfing even Watergate.

#16  Oh for the days of J. Edgar Hoover.

This is why he kept files on all the power-players in DC -- so he could stay independent of them.

#15  Notice that "our" side won't bother to do one damn thing about Comey. He's a fucking traitor to the rule of law, and with it OUR nation.

Fuck him, and fuck "our" side for sitting on their hands.

#14  they're retired. Active-duty know that if they respond, it'll get leaked and they'll suffer under Hildabeast

#13  A large majority of retired FBI Agents polled want Comey out.

#11  Maybe it's time to make FBI Director an elective office. I nominate Joe Arpaio.

#10  You give the Civil Service WAY too much credit. I've seen them in their natural habitat. 95% of them fall into the what I refer to as "welfare w/dignity". They have job, they get paid, but they don't have to show up that much. When they do show up, they don't do much. The gov't works in spite of them.

#8  William, you ever heard the expression "the banality of evil"?

Sure as in Adolf Eichmann. My point is this - the vast majority of CS employees are mind-numbed robots on a habitrail hamster ball to nowhere. There are a few (too many) at high levels that exert power and influence beyond their pay grade and intellectual ability. Those are the ones that bear watching.

#7  Is the FBI now an arm of the Democratic Party?? You bet! I didn't think so until Comey testified in front of the House oversight committee. DOJ and the rest of the bureaucracy are arms of the Democratic Party as well. IMHO nothing short of a second revolution is going to clean up this mess.

#1  I think the FBI has made it abundantly clear that there TWO kinds of Law in the USA, one for the Elite and one for the Peasants.

And the Democratic party seems to have the ability to use the IRS to harass people it doesn't like who are TOO Conservative. And the Democratic party seems to be able to
enforce discrimination of Conservative values using US govt. institutions to do it.

We don't have a sovereign BORDER anymore. There are ( some estimate ) 43 MILLION illegal now living here in the US and even tho' they are illegal they claim as their right...Welfare and the rights of Citizens which they do not deserve and to which they are NOT entitled..at the Expense of Americans.

It is OBVIOUS that the US Govt. is CORRUPT and does not work, especially to serve the needs of LEGAL citizens.

People are buying guns in record numbers. More and more of the Police are being shot trying to keep Order. The Media is BIASED and can't be trusted. There are tens of millions of American without jobs.

Moslems are being imported and forcibly settled in American towns. The American people are not being asked, they are being told.

You figure it out. It is only a matter of a single spark and it all explodes. The trucks stop delivering food to the local supermarkets and the hungry inner city floods out to the Suburbs and then the Farms ( what farms ). And if you are hungry and armed.....
can't ever happen, right? How much ammunition have you got stored, better buy another box or two.

But then, I could be wrong, maybe its all Mayberry and let's go fishing with Cooter.
