Darrell Issa: ‘Tainted DoJ Cannot Be Trusted to Fairly Investigate Email Scandal
[Breitbart] Issa’s comments come in the wake of Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s secret Phoenix airport meeting with former President Bill Clinton amid a cloud of suspicion surrounding the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s apparently illegal private email server. Issa says the only way to achieve real justice now is for the voters to reject Hillary Clinton -- the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee -- in November.
So the 'Sky Harbor' meeting 'queers' the entire Benghazi-email, Trey Gowdy, DoJ process and we must now spend the next two years arguing over the appointment of an Independent Counsel or Special Prosecutor. A rather excellent move by Clinton and Lynch ek se.

#2  So treason, espionage, lying to Congress, public corruption, charity fraud, selling out the country is all O.K. now? If so, Washington might need a thorough cleaning by the people.

Hildebeest Scheduled To Meet With FBI On Saturday
[Daily Caller] Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to meet Saturday with the FBI, a source close to the investigation into her private email server tells The Daily Caller.

The source went on to suggest the interview may take place at her Washington, D.C. home.

The bureau’s interview with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is believed to be the final step in its investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information on Clinton’s private email server.

Hundreds of now-classified documents -- some of them "Top Secret" -- were sent and received through Clinton’s private server, which she housed at her New York residence during her tenure at the State Department.

#4  Handcuff her, take her away, book her. You can't hide it then or burying even in the MSM. Force your masters to expose themselves, end the circus, and the sham this all is. Make them disavow your actions and then accept the consequences of showing its all a oligarchy, not a country of laws, but of special interests, much of which is for sale.

#5  The Phoenix airplane meeting may well have been the sharing of the approved questions list for todays interview so that Hilda can be prepared for the best possible mosaic of memory loss, outrage, and feigned ignorance. Look for any MSM news soon after to define the narrative on how it is to be nuanced and explained. Few perps have had more time in the box than Hildie, and she knows her whole life's pattern of grifting and deceit hinge on this interview, so the fangs and temper may emerge. One can only hope a few FBI guys remember what the letters stand for in the motto.

#10  I agree Rambler. Safest COA for her. She can't know at this point, what everyone else has said. Slick might have tipped Lynch off to what was ahead during their not-so-secret, hush, hush, Sky Harbor meeting. We should know by daze end.

#11  Within the next two weeks or so, the expectation is there will be an announcement of no charges being brought against Clinton so long as no evidence of wrongdoing emerges from her interview with the FBI, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN. CNN has previously reported no charges were expected to be brought against Clinton because the investigators had not found evidence to warrant charges, according to multiple law enforcement officials. A Democrat close to Clinton said Saturday the campaign believes the FBI will announce its decision before the conventions.

#12  Our land is now lawless.

#13  The problem with lawless societies is that lawlessness works both ways. Civilization is a thin veneer over some really serious entropy.

#14  Assuming she departed from and returned to Chappaqua (approximately 9 hours round trip) and was interviewed for 3-1/2 hours, we're looking at at an approximately 12 hour jaunt. Assuming she returned to Chappaqua at, say, 11:00 am this morning, this whole dog and pony show would have had to begin at 10:00 pm yesterday, and the interview would have begun at 0200 hours today.

Most business meetings begin at approximately 0800. If she returned to wherever it was she went after the interview at approximately 1000 hours (deduced from the timestamps of some of the news articles about the confab.), the meeting would have had to begin at approximately 0630, assuming she went into post-"interview" hiding directly next door to FBI HQ.

The timing numbers don't seem to work out.

Clinton sought secret info on EU bailout plans as son-in-law's doomed hedge fund gambled on Greece
[Fox] Hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky had friends in high places when he bet big on a Greek economic recovery, but even the keen interest of his mother-in-law, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wasn't enough to spare him and his investors from financial tragedy.

In 2012, Mezvinski, the husband of Chelsea Clinton, created a $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners banner through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs. The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country’s distressed bonds. One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.

Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president. But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared "protected" State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.

That America’s top diplomat kept a sharp eye on intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank is not a problem. However, sharing such sensitive information with friends and family would have been highly improper. Federal regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information to further private interests or the interests of others. The mere perception of a conflict of interest is unacceptable.

Through its press representative, Eaglevale declined to comment for this story. Clinton’s campaign press office did not respond to a request for comment.
