2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary Under FBI Investigation For More Than Email:
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 doesnt 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.

(25,586 posts)that's really a remarkably poorly-written article. I know some have celebrated the weakening of journalistic gatekeeping, but one side effect has been the rise of the subliterate "publishing" this sort of unproofed glurge and pretending they're the equal of actual journalists.

So, a messenger is still getting "killed"

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

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.
George II
(67,782 posts)Conway does NOT know what's going on in the FBI or, if he did he should be arrested for interfering in an ongoing investigation.
But, since you know so much about Conway, just where did he get the information in this "article"? Note there is no valid source, other than him, indicated in the article or OP.
Even Fox News probably would have passed on this one.
libdem4life
(13,877 posts)on this site that have answered...multitudes of them.
Please be specific as to what is false in this. Inquiring minds want to know.
Writers routinely take real information and craft a story around it. It's called Journalism. Just because it's not in your candidate's favor, doesn't make it false.
Kill the Messenger. LOL
George II
(67,782 posts)If you're referring to Conway, my statement about him being an "opinionator" in lieu of a "messenger" is 100% correct. Even Fawke Em just admitted that what he said was an "educated opinion".
libdem4life
(13,877 posts)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.
George II
(67,782 posts)...the one who posted this in the first place, had I seen it first hand instead of here, I most certainly would not have posted it at all, since it's based on zero fact other than the FBI is indeed conducting "an investigation".

(50,130 posts)...that part of the investigation is expected to take a lot longer. It is tangential to the secret server allegations, but those secret server allegations will be adjudicated sooner, and the Foundation corruption allegations later.

(29,721 posts)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.
Whats 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.

(6,007 posts)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,

(55,981 posts)Now, in a letter dated February 2 and filed in court Monday, the FBIs 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 Clintons use of a private email server.
Looks a lot like an investigation to me.

(27,247 posts)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?

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