FBI turns over new Clinton investigation documents to Congress

Source: The Hill




BY JOHN SOLOMON - 11/04/17 11:36 AM EDT

The FBI has begun turning over to Senate investigators hundreds of pages of memos regarding the bureau's probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server, sources told The Hill.

The sources said the Justice Department notified the Senate Judiciary Committee late Friday and the FBI began transmitting memos soon after to assist Congress in its review of former Director James Comey's handling of the Clinton email case.

The memos detail how and when the bureau's leadership declined to pursue criminal charges against Clinton for transmitting classified information on her private email server as secretary of State, an investigation that has remained controversial since the 2016 presidential campaigns.

FBI officials declined to comment. "We don't have any information for you," spokeswoman Carol Cratty told The Hill.

I have seen other numbers in that arena.

That is schools, supplies to Puerto Rico etc - as you noted.

They'd already determined there was nothing there but the Repubs kept whining about not interviewing her. So they had the interview. The. It was found out that they'd already made their determination BEFORE the interview and the right flipped out. It's still a go to subject on talk radio.

Oh my goodness. Okay I'm looking at it. Still digging into it. Have dug into and haven't found anything, but there's still hope. Well that was a huge waste of time. About as productive as putting HRC through 13 hours of continuous testimony. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

It used to be a hole, now it's an empty quarry.

Seriously. No treasure.

Here, you want the dirt? Here...look at the dirt from the hole.

Sift through it. Maybe you'll find some evidence of treasure.

We got more dirt. You can sift it. This is what you paid for.

Dirt.

Are we just going to drop the Benghazi investigations? I'm sure we could easily spend find a billion dollars for that.

Expect the House to get this crap next after the Senate gets nothing but some distraction from the same thing that the FBI found nothing from.

They'll waste their time looking for a smoking firecracker that was never there. Mueller won't miss a beat.

We know there is nothing there so she should stand opposite of how Trump is handling his investigations. "I welcome a review of the Uranium deal and the 349th investigation of my email server, heck lets have a go at Benghazi since the first 832 investigations turned up bumpkis."
