Good day all. Last Sunday, (October 11) on CBS’s 60 Minutes, President and SCoaMF Barack Obama managed to screw over the FBI investigation into Hillary “Cankles” Clinton’s private, unsecure email server.
Briefly, the FBI has been digging into this mess Cankles created for herself and working to recover the messages she deleted and to determine what damage she did to the nation’s security and intelligence gathering systems. They are also looking into criminal charges against Clinton and her minions, although they are being very closed mouthed about that. (And quite reasonably since this is an ongoing investigation)
The problem is Der Fubar decided to shoot his big mouth off and say there was no problem with Cankles running her own mail system. Here are some of the details from the New York Times:
Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal email server last week when President Obama went on television and played down the matter.
“I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He said it had been a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”
Those statements angered F.B.I. agents who have been working for months to determine whether Mrs. Clinton’s email setup did in fact put any of the nation’s secrets at risk, according to current and former law enforcement officials.
Gee, ya think? We aren’t talking about the political incompetents appointees has put in place in the Department of Justice. These are the people who actually know how to investigate crimes and go after criminals. Of course their furious with His Nibs saying their work is a waste of time. It makes them think the fix is in.
Investigators have not reached any conclusions about whether the information on the server was compromised or whether to recommend charges, according to the law enforcement officials. But to investigators, it sounded as if Mr. Obama had already decided the answers to their questions and cleared anyone involved of wrongdoing.
Already people think that Cankles will be given a pass on this mess. Many people who have security clearances are already asking why she isn’t under arrest already. Anyone else who did what she and her minions have done would already be waiting their trial and probably sitting at home with a ankle bracelet on. Belatedly, it looks like someone smacked Obama with a Clue x Four.
The White House quickly backed off the president’s remarks and said he had not been trying to influence the investigation.
But his comments spread quickly, raising the ire of officials who saw an instance of the president trying to influence the outcome of a continuing investigation — and not for the first time.
Not for the first time? Gee, I wonder what other investigations Il Douche has tried to disrupt? Let me hazard a guess, shall we?
- Fast & Furious
- The IRS Tea Party scandal
- The Obamacare fiasco
- the OPM computer hack
Yeah, just a few that come to mind.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment.
No surprise there.
But Ron Hosko, a former senior F.B.I. official who retired in 2014 and is now the president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, said it was inappropriate for the president to “suggest what side of the investigation he is on” when the F.B.I. is still investigating.
“Injecting politics into what is supposed to be a fact-finding inquiry leaves a foul taste in the F.B.I.’s mouth and makes them fear that no matter what they find, the Justice Department will take the president’s signal and not bring a case,” said Mr. Hosko, who maintains close contact with current agents.
Haven’t you learned by now that everything Obama and the Democrats so is guided by politics? National Security, the Constitution, the Rule of Law, all those are barely a blip on the radar. It’s always been what is good for Obama and secondarily, the Democrat Party.
The White House said Thursday that Mr. Obama had not been commenting on the merits of the investigation, but rather had been explaining why he believes the controversy over Mrs. Clinton’s emails has been overblown. The president, officials said, was merely noting that the emails that have been publicly released so far have not imperiled national security.
I hate to be the one to tell you dumbass, but what little has been revealed shows a great deal of damage has been done. Obviously, they aren’t going to repeat the stupidity of Hillary Rodham Clinton and release classified and top secret information. What they have released, primarily that yes, they have found things that are secret, along with Cankles attempts to cover up her activities tells people who are paying attention that Clinton needs to be fitted with an orange jump suit in place of her orange pant suit.
“There’s a debate among national security experts, as part of their ongoing, independent review, about how or even whether to classify sections of those emails,” said Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary. “But, as the president said, there is no evidence to indicate that the information in those emails endangered our national security.”
Earnest is giving Jay Carney a run for the money in the bald faced liar department. From what I’m hearing from people who deal with this sort of thing is one question. Why isn’t Clinton already under arrest? Many are comparing this to what happened with General Petraeus. King Putt shot his mouth off on that one as well.
Mr. Obama’s remarks in the Clinton email case were met with particular anger at the F.B.I. because they echoed comments he made in 2012, shortly after it was revealed that a former C.I.A. director, David H. Petraeus, was under investigation, accused of providing classified information to a mistress who was writing a book about him.
“I have no evidence at this point, from what I’ve seen, that classified information was disclosed that in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security,” the president said at a 2012 news conference, as the F.B.I. was trying to answer that very question about Mr. Petraeus.
The F.B.I. ultimately concluded that Mr. Petraeus should face felony charges and a possible prison sentence. He had not only provided highly classified information to his biographer, including notes about war strategy and the identity of covert officials, but also lied to agents about it. James B. Comey, the F.B.I director, made the case to the attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., that Mr. Petraeus deserved to face strenuous charges.
Eric Holder. The most corrupt Attorney General in American History. He’s another Obama appointee who should be in jail.
But the Justice Department overruled the F.B.I., and this year, the department allowed Mr. Petraeus to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. He was spared jail time and remained an informal White House adviser.
From what I recall of that case, what General Petraeus did was a lot less damaging than what Cankles and her circle of jerkoffs did. He showed his girlfriend his notes, which were on paper. Cankles had a personal mail server that should have been named “Hack Me Please!”
Presidents typically decline to comment on cases under investigation or in the courts, citing the need to avoid prejudicing legal proceedings. Often, that tradition is politically convenient, offering them an easy excuse when they would rather not answer questions about the behavior of allies and aides.
Has Obama ever been known to keep his big mouth shut in situations like this?
Mr. Obama has skirted that line on a few occasions. In 2013, he proclaimed that troops who commit sexual assault should be “court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged,” which provided ammunition to defense lawyers who argued that the commander in chief had prejudiced proceedings.
This isn’t the first time a President has put his foot in it. Richard Milhouse Nixon said Charles Manson was guilty and almost caused a mistrial over that.
The federal law used against Mr. Petraeus prohibits officials from knowingly taking classified information “with the intent to retain” it at “an unauthorized location.” A second, more serious charge makes it a felony to remove classified information through gross negligence. Officials at both the F.B.I. and the Justice Department acknowledge that those laws set a high bar for criminal charges in the email case.
On that we agree. It should always be tough to prosecute. After all, we are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Mr. Obama said he had no impression that Mrs. Clinton had purposely tried “to hide something or to squirrel away information.”
Since the existence of Mrs. Clinton’s account was revealed in March, she has provided a series of different explanations about whether she sent or received classified information from the account.
What we’re seeing with Cankles is a classic cover up attempt being done on the fly. This is exactly what happened with Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal, something Cankles should be intimately familiar with, since she was on the investigation team before getting her fat ass fired for unethical behavior.
Mr. Comey, the F.B.I. director, acknowledged this month the difficulties posed by the investigation. He said one reason he had a 10-year term was “to make sure this organization stays outside of politics.”
There is a better than even chance that Hillary Rodham Clinton could be the first Presidential Nominee to be criminally charged and arrested. I was joking the other day about Hillary winning the nomination, and the day before the Democrat Convention starts, she is handcuffed and perp walked into the local federal jail to be processed. I’m still hopeful on that one. The only way that could be worse for Cankles is if Obama were to grant her a full pardon. Now what might happen if Biden gaffs his way into the race?
