Clinton lawyers (Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson) did the sorting of Clinton "personal" emails.

They did not review each email. They did a key word search to sort our "personal" and "work" emails. They never identified the complete set of key words.

The entire handling of the Clinton emails was an obvious fraud. It was only "successful" because of an obama DoJ, FBI, and State Dept which were willing accomplices in making sure Comey could say "No reasonable prosecutor ..."

That woman should spend the rest of her life in prison!!! Having her so-called reputation tarnished simply does not do it! How deep is that swamp? How many people suffered because of her and her drive to be Hilary the first?

My response to the latest Fitton video is to step away from the keyboard.

Agreed. I'm thinking the constant companion of dread that the threat of consequence would impose. I like the idea of her feeling haunted, hunted with no peace until death relieves us of her and presents her to a Judge to whom she cannot lie and whom she cannot fool.

FBI: Strzok Failed His Duties by Lack of Response to Clinton Emails on Weiner Laptop

The FBI stated that one of its former high-level officials, Peter Strzok, lapsed in his duties by failing to investigate evidence in the Clinton investigation found on the laptop of former Rep. Anthony Weiner, according to a document released in a recent court filing.

“[Your] lack of a proper oversight and diligent follow through created an enormous embarrassment to the Bureau and has been cited by many as having altered the results of a presidential election,” said Jessica Loreto of the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) in a June 15, 2018, letter to Strzok (pdf).

In the 23-page letter, Loreto proposed firing Strzok for investigative deficiency as well as unrelated unprofessional conduct off-duty and a security violation.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed the letter with Washington federal court on Nov. 19 in response to Strzok’s lawsuit against his dismissal.

Strzok, formerly the FBI’s deputy assistant director in the Counterintelligence Division, led the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email server during her tenure as secretary of state. He was also one of the key players in the investigation into several associates of then-candidate Donald Trump for alleged ties to Russia.

The FBI closed the Clinton probe in July 2016. Then-FBI Director James Comey announced Clinton was “extremely careless” in handling classified information, but recommended no charges against her.

In September 2016, FBI agents in the New York field office obtained Weiner’s laptop in an investigation of his sexual exploitation of a minor.

On Sept. 28 and Sept. 29, 2016, the field office communicated to multiple officials responsible for the Clinton investigation that hundreds of thousands of Clinton’s emails have been found on the laptop going back to 2007 and including BlackBerry messages, which suggested there were communications from three months early on in Clinton’s tenure that the FBI wasn’t able to recover from other sources.

Yet Strzok apparently didn’t touch the lead for weeks and only pursued the new warrant nearly a month later after a distressed agent from the field office alerted his supervisors, who then informed the DOJ.

“The crickets I was hearing was really making me uncomfortable because something was going to come crashing down,” the agent later told the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General.
‘Unpersuasive’

Strzok acknowledged the lead carried weight because Weiner was married to Clinton’s longtime aide, Huma Abedin.

He said, however, that the Russia investigation was more urgent; that the Clinton probe team waited for the field office to provide more information; and that the team wasn’t given enough specific information about what was on the laptop and how significant it was, Loreto’s letter summarized.

Strzok also said the team couldn’t get the information from the laptop because the field office had a search warrant that only authorized search for materials related to the Weiner investigation.

Loreto found the arguments “unpersuasive.”

She pointed out that the field office already made sufficiently clear how significant the find was as well as the need for an additional search warrant.

“The investigation reveals that there is no reasonable excuse for the FBI’s delay in following up on this matter,” she stated.

After the FBI finally obtained the warrant and searched the laptop, then-FBI Director James Comey decided it was so significant that he needed to inform Congress that his previous testimony that the Clinton probe was over needed to be corrected.

The information quickly seeped into the media, casting a cloud over Clinton’s candidacy not two weeks before election day. Two days before the election, Comey told Congress the FBI still didn’t recommend charging Clinton.

An extensive report by RealClearInvestigations later revealed that only a fraction of the emails on the laptop were actually reviewed. The new search warrant was so narrow it didn’t even include the BlackBerry messages, which the FBI had previously described as the “golden emails” the agents couldn’t find anywhere else.

The report concluded that it’s possible the laptop has since been returned to Weiner and Abedin.

“Wherever its location, somewhere out there is a treasure trove of evidence involving potentially serious federal crimes—including espionage, foreign influence-peddling, and obstruction of justice—that has never been properly or fully examined by law enforcement authorities,” the report stated.
Biased Texts

The primary reason cited for Strzok’s firing were text messages he exchanged in 2016 and 2017 with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair and who was at the time special counsel to FBI’s then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

In the texts, both officials expressed a strong animus against Trump and a preference for Clinton.

Strzok claimed in his lawsuit his dismissal infringed on his First Amendment rights and that it was motivated by Trump’s antipathy toward him.

But the DOJ disagreed, saying his position “imposed on him a higher burden of caution with respect to his speech.”

“It is because of those text messages, and the paramount importance of preserving the FBI’s ability to function as a trusted, nonpartisan institution, that Plaintiff was removed from his position, and not because of any alleged disagreement with Plaintiff’s viewpoints on political issues or Tweets from the President,” DOJ lawyers stated in a Nov. 18 court filing (pdf).

The FBI has their marching orders from the deep state and did exactly as was expected of them. They are heavily compromised as a law enforcement agency.

How ironic that Stozk (who hates Trump) was a big cause for Comey to alert Congress of the re-opened investigation.

I believe Comey doing that may have changed some voters who were on the fence

^^^^^
And that's why I'm amazed Comey hasn't committed suicide. That action may not have swayed some to change their vote, but it may have swayed them to stay home in order to not vote for either candidate with both being, in THEIR eyes, undesirable.

If they gave it back to wiener that hard drive has been pulverized to dust. Now if they copied the info, which I'm sure was done by "someone". Then that ball is still in play. Should get interesting this next yr till election time. We do live in the proverbial Chinese "Interesting Times" curse.

I heard through the "grapevine" that the NYPD has copies of what was on that laptop. As they anticipated its "disappearance".

Two things I have never understood why President Trump never did are - fire every Obama "leftover" and see to it the Hildabeast was prosecuted for at least a few of her crimes.

Maybe in his second term...... Regards 18DAI

Judicial Watch is relentless. I wonder how much Hillary must despise these people.

quote:

Judicial Watch today announced that a hearing was ordered to be held in federal court before U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Thursday, December 19, regarding continuing discovery in the Clinton email scandal.

The court is considering whether to allow Judicial Watch to question Hillary Clinton and her top aide in person and under oath about the email and Benghazi controversies. Judicial Watch attorneys will also request the deposition of Paul Combetta, who was the IT specialist working on the Clinton server at Platte River Networks. Judge Lamberth specifically raised concerns regarding Combetta’s transfer of Clinton’s emails into a Gmail account, carterheavyindustries@gmail.com. The judge told Judicial Watch to “shake this tree” on the issue. Judicial Watch will ask the court for permission to subpoena Google for information from that account. Hillary Clinton is also fighting the court’s previously ordered release of an “after action memo” created by Clinton lawyer Heather Samuelson in December 2014 that memorializes the Clinton team’s review and processing of Clinton’s emails.

They should have a contempt order ready to be signed because they aren't going to get straight answers.

I disagree, I would put the IT guy on the stand and ask the following questions:
Can you tell me what is involved in purchasing, installing and configuring a computer to handle email?
Did this computer just appear, or did someone order it? Who ordered it and who approved the purchase?
Who approved the insallation?
Who authorized the creation of the email accounts and who configured HRC's laptop and mobile device(s)
and so on........
Ultimately getting to....
Who unlocked the password on HRCs laptop so you could configure the non-government email account. Only HRC SHOULD have had the password and therefore it was not carelessness, but a deliberate effort (that HRC know of and approved) to circumvent to govenment email system.

Maybe you get this guy to spill the beans or tell who approved the activities and that gets you more witnesses to subpeona.

I just had a background interview today to once again have the same level clearance that she had. It is beyond absurd what she and her minions did, it is not a grey area open to any interpretation nor is there any plausible explanation as to how it could have been an accident or even blatant stupidity.

They are all guilty of felonies open and shut, easy conviction based only on the evidence that is now public knowledge.

If the Earth represents the proper handling of classified information...they were on Mars. Wouldn't anyone know if they were on Mars or Earth?

Oh...but it wasn't "marked."

Federal judge orders Hillary Clinton deposition to address private emails: 'Still more to learn'

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...-still-more-to-learn

A federal judge Monday granted a request from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to have former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sit for a sworn deposition to answer questions about her use of a private email server to conduct government business.

Clinton has argued that she has already answered questions about this and should not have to do so again -- the matter did not result in any charges for the then-presidential candidate in 2016 after a high-profile investigation -- but D.C. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said in his ruling that her past responses left much to be desired.

"As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business," Lamberth said.

The judge went on to recognize that while Clinton responded to written questions in a separate case, "those responses were either incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory at best. Simply put her responses left many more questions than answers.” Lamberth said that using written questions this time “will only muddle any understanding of Secretary Clinton’s state of mind and fail to capture the full picture, thus delaying the final disposition of this case even further.”

Lamberth even gave some examples of lingering questions about Clinton's emails, such as how did she come to believe that her private emails would be preserved under normal State Department processes, who told her this and when, at what point did she learn department records management officials did not know about the server, "[a]nd why did she think that using a private server to conduct State Department business was permissible under the law in the first place?"

The ruling comes after Judicial Watch revealed at a December 2019 status conference that the FBI released "approximately thirty previously undisclosed Clinton emails," and that the State Department "failed to fully explain" where they came from.

The State Department has been pushing for the discovery phase of the case to come to a close, but Lamberth said he is not ready to do so, saying that "there is still more to learn."

Judicial Watch, which initiated this case in 2014, is looking for information regarding whether Clinton used her private email server to intentionally get around the Freedom of Information Act, whether the State Department acted in bad faith when they tried to settle the case years ago, and whether the department had adequately looked for records in response to Judicial Watch's initial FOIA request.

Given that the settlement attempts and records search took place after Clinton left office, the judge ruled that the deposition should focus on whether she intentionally tried to use her private server to evade FOIA and her understanding of the State Department's record management requirements.

Lamberth also granted Judicial Watch's request to depose former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills, IT specialist Paul Combetta who was involved in deleting Clinton's emails, as well as Brett Gittleson and Yvette Jacks, who were State Department officials familiar with Clinton's private email server.

Judicial Watch also wanted to question Clinton and Mills about government talking points in the aftermath of the 2012 Benghazi attack. Lamberth said that while they "cannot be questioned about the underlying actions taken after the Benghazi attack," they can face questions regarding "their knowledge of the existence of any emails, documents, or text messages related to the Benghazi attack."

Haunted. Hunted.

Chris Farrell, Judicial Watch Director of Research and Investigation, has had YEARS to formulate questions to put to the HAG.

I cannot wait to see the video of her being deposed, though I can bet her most used answer is "I don't recall anything except "Orange Man Bad."

And just in time to completely FUCK INTO A COCKED HAT any hope she has of getting a "do over" against President Trump.

She better find a way to not be deposed by Judicial Watch. How absurd that she could blatantly mishandle materials classified at the highest levels, have nothing to fear from the FBI and DOJ, but a private organization may yet (pretty please!) be her final undoing.
