Obama to campaign for Clinton in NC
The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced on October 28 that it was reviewing a new batch of emails that might be related to her email practices. “I had no role in it”.
Speaking to Wolf Blitzer Friday afternoon, Giuliani reiterated that he only ever spoke to retired FBI agents, whom he said were upset about Comey’s handling of the email investigation, and everything he heard was “hearsay”.
Giuliani was largely echoing reports of internal strife within the agency that have emerged via anonymous leaks to the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Associated Press, and Fox News over the past week.
Cummings said the continuous leaks from this investigation are a “threat to our democracy”, noting, “normally when you ask the FBI whether there this is an investigation, 99.99% of the time, they say, ‘No comment'”.
Comey’s decision to alert Congress about his review of the Clinton case “suggests that it’s probably more likely explained that [Comey] knew that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not only a leaky sieve but there were people within the Federal Bureau of Investigation actively working – actively working – to try to help the Trump campaign”, Kaine said.
Immediately, the letter went viral and was hailed by the Trump camp as proof that Clinton was not qualified to be president.
Fox’s Bret Baier, who initially reported on the case Wednesday, said Friday that “it was a mistake, and for that I’m sorry”. FBI officials didn’t give the Trump campaign advance warning about a campaign bombshell, but FBI officials did tell former FBI officials, who in turn gave the Trump campaign advance warning about a campaign bombshell.
“The FBI is Trumpland”, said one current agent. On Friday morning, Giuliani was questioned on the matter during an appearance on Fox News, but denied any wrongdoing.
Now perhaps those agents – along with Giuliani, Kallstrom, and their friend Donald Trump – don’t understand that there was nothing scandalous, let alone criminal, in Clinton’s decision to use a private email account like her predecessor Colin Powell.
Clarke: “I think it’s obvious to everyone that it was political”. Did I hear about it?
Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and John Conyers (D-MI)-both ranking members of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees-to send a letter to the Department of Justice citing Giuliani and calling on the Inspector General to investigate the source of the alleged leaks and “recommend appropriate action”.
Giuliani said he would cooperate with such an investigation, though he himself was not the recipient of any leaks. He attributed what might be seen as a commonplace difference of opinion about law and evidence to rampant corruption at the highest levels of the Justice Department, specifically naming the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who began her career as a prosecutor in the NY area in 1990 and has obtained convictions of politically corrupt Republicans and Democrats. Everything. There is one way to stop Donald Trump and his unsafe and divisive agenda from ruining everything we’ve fought for: “Go vote”.
