# of FBI Agents Working on HRC Emails: 12

[stopbush]

Yep.

Not 147 as reported by the WP. Not the "under 50" estimated in the WP's correction to their bogus 147 number.

Twelve. A dozen.

That's the number being reported by Ari Melber and Chris Hayes based on an inside source.

Next up on Hayes: how do these constant lies about Hillary get started?

1. Fox news model-throw something out (lies) and if it sticks--still no consequences--sounds like DU

[DURHAM D]

2. What?????

Chris is asking that question? What happened to him?

[SharonClark]

4. I know, thought the same thing...

[riversedge]

3. OMGoodness--that guest Eric--no wonder I loved what he was saying!!

I don't think too many anti-Hillary people have bothered to read her position papers & policies.

12. Eric Boehlert and Media Matters

Great sources. They actually do things like "fact check." It's a concept--it would awesome if it caught on.

I follow Eric Boehlert on Twitter. He is always an excellent resource for information. Glad to hear he was on Chris Hayes' show.

11. This is the Hillary group. Please delete your post.

8. No FBI agent is investigating Hillary

They have come out and said this at least 5 times. They are investigating the way material is classified.

10. yay! they did a whole segment

Investigating why some many lies and smears throughout the years trying to criminalize HRC and BC.

13. 147 was something came out of "Revolution Messaging"

and was spread on twitter, reddit and facebook

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. "Revolution Messaging"

i.e. part of Bernie Sanders campaign. So much for his pledge of taking the high road.

[cosmicone]

15. Bernie has been running a sleazy campaign

He broke the promise of not going negative when he started losing.

He should have manned-up and taken the losses on his chest rather than going full negative with berniebros.

And ... they call him honest and trustworthy

His campaign team is even sleazier -- especially Jeff Weaver who looks more like a seedy stripper-joint bouncer.

Then Mrs. Sanders referred to Secretary Clinton as "that woman" on MSNBC. No respect or class whatsoever.

[jsmirman]

16. That reporter should be ashamed of himself

where's the accountability?

The point was great that this number would have been more agents than they had on the Oklahoma City bombing. Maybe the absurd number should have set off the sensors of such a veteran reporter???

Frankly, when I read the initial WaPo piece, both my legal and journalistic training immediately honed in on the line they featured on MSNBC tonight: "according to a lawmaker."

That's really shoddy reporting - when you miss by that much - not good.

17. This technique was pioneered by Dick Cheney during the Bush Regime's attacks on Valerie Plame.

1) Plant a false story anonymously with a friendly member of the Fourth Estate, who publishes it.

2) Wait for the story to be picked up & repeated by the rest of the media.

3) Comment on the "issues" raised by the manufactured "controversy", and use it to attack your opponent.

The only difference is that the Sanders camp has learned enough from the disaster of the Bush Regime to not have their primary out there commenting on the false story. They've only allowed their surrogates to deal with it.

18. The Dick Cheney method:

1. Feed false information to Judith Miller at the NYT
2. Wait for NYT to publish her article based on the false info
3. Go on MTP and announce "the NYT is reporting..." the false info you planted.
