Hillary Under FBI Investigation For More Than Email:


http://www.inquisitr.com/3077124/hillary-clinton-is-under-investigation-by-the-fbi-for-more-than-e-mail-if-elected-could-she-be-impeached/


Hillary Clinton is under investigation. The intensive FBI probe has expanded to include potential obstruction of justice if any sensitive email been withheld or destroyed. Also under FBI investigation, are gifts and payments received by Hillary on behalf of the Clinton Foundation. Other charges could also come out as the probe broadens.

Hillary Clinton, while under investigation by the FBI, must be treated with impartiality and held accountable for any wrongdoing. James Conway, Managing Director of Global Intel Strategies and former FBI agent, told RT the FBI will continue to go after her regardless of her government position until they are satisfied the investigation is complete. Mr. Conway is confident in the impartiality of the agency.



“It is immaterial whether it is the First Lady, or it is the lady down the street, or it is the mayor of a city – it doesn’t matter. The FBI has a long history of enforcing the law. And sometimes people who are subjects of those investigations happen to be high-level political officials. So, it has happened a number of times.”

So, a messenger is still getting "killed"

But wait...there's more ....

"Wait, there’s more! This word doesn't usually appear in our free dictionary, but we’ve shared just a bit of the information that appears in our premium Unabridged Dictionary. There’s more definition detail there."

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opinionator

Wiki doesn't yet have it, so you can go there to make it kind of official.

The page "Opinionator" does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.

And I haven't seen Fawke Em's post, but as I wrote...journalists routinely take information and put it into their own words. And, they Always put their own particular spin on it. It doesn't make it wrong, or libel, just an opinion...like yours and mine. And Kill the Messenger is the norm here, which is just only I don't like what s/he said. Facts can be manipulated and enhanced. No big surprise.

Splitting hairs on semantics doesn't fool anyone. This investigation is into Hillary Clinton's actions, mis steps, ignorance, folly...on and on...and yes, it's my opinion. There are lots of "real links" that discuss this better than I. But then again, a real Liberal listens, reads, thinks, compares, and ultimately makes a decision. And she's created this/in this up to the neck, and they'll work their way up to that soon.

Others just listen to the newest "expert". So, there's that.

https://seocheaters4344.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/inquisitr-still-tops-the-serps-despite-accusations-of-plagarism-from-npr-and-link-schemes/

The Inquisitr is on the top of my list of websites that make me crazy. They only started covering reality celebrities last year but somehow managed to trick Google into thinking they were worthy of a top spot in the SERPS and they have convinced Google that they deserve to be called “news”.

Their articles are on par with WetPaint…the titles are click bait, the content is often scraped from smaller sites with no attribution or worse scraped from websites that publish hoaxes! In addition to the erroneous click-bait they engage in unnatural link schemes with pals like WetPaint.

What’s interesting is that NO one knows who owns The Inquisitr. Considering Google considers transparency and accountability key to getting a high Page Rank, how did this site manage to get such a high PR with no trace of ownership?

The closest thing we have is a domain registrant which is Enom which is the infamous Demand Media. So they may be Demand Media content farm 2.0, but who knows.

I don't really care about all the "kill the messenger" nonsense. I didn't see anything that I hadn't heard before. So, what do you have to say about the CONTENT?

Just like Hillary, it doesn't matter if the emails are "marked", that has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, it is the CONTENT that matters. If the content of the emails is about classified things, then it is a classified message marked or not.

What do you disagree with in that article? If you've got nothing,

I personally know the man they interviewed and he's knowledgeable about both how the FBI works and about the challenges of handling national security information online.

Here's his company: http://globalintelstrategies.com/ (a competitor of the company I work for, but it's still a small community)

John Edwards. Up until that, it fell into the CT category. They often do the work and take the risks MSM aren't willing to risk. Kind of like the Court Jester of old.

Supposedly, the NYT had information on the extended inquiry iunto HRC, but held it. Now, it takes a mighty big hand to hold off the MSM on a juicy story.

Nothing is going to give Bernie the nomination. Nothing. If you want to push tabloid crap on DU, knock yourself out. You and your pals are only talking amongst yourselves.

...anything else.

The "source" for this "article" is James Conway, a FORMER FBI agent???!! Yeah, that's a reliable source!

But it's Monday, and this hasn't been talked about in a few days, so I guess it's time to bring this stuff up, whether its true or not.

...forthcoming and tell us an accurate assessment of what that investigation is about.

It's been pointed out a number of times by the FBI, DOJ, and others that Hillary Clinton is NOT "under FBI investigation".

108. Seems you are using the "depends on what the definition of "is" is." Here's what the FBI say:

"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.

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.”


Looks a lot like an investigation to me.

Hopefully the FBI will have something iron clad before the convention.
We really do not need Trump as President.

that a lot of us don't want a terribly flawed candidate with net negativity ratings who pretends to be things she isn't and is facing the prospects of investigations, not only by the FBI, but by Republicans in Congress? We have a super progressive candidate in Bernie who doesn't have all that baggage and consistently polls higher against Trump than Hillary does.

And how, if she wins the general election, would she get a security clearance after all of this?

without regard to whether they would have had the necessary clearance if they were only a private citizen.

This access begins with classified briefings as soon as they're nominated. IOW, Trump will soon be getting classified briefings.
