A senior State Department official repeatedly pressed the FBI to change the classification of emails stored on Hillary Clinton’s private server, according to FBI interview summaries set to be released in the coming days. Patrick Kennedy, the undersecretary of state for management, discussed providing additional overseas slots for the FBI in exchange for revisions to classifications of the sensitive emails.
[…]
According to the summary, Kennedy wanted help. The FBI official spoke with Kennedy and Kennedy raised the possibility of keeping at least one Clinton email from public disclosure by obtaining a “B9” exemption under the Freedom of Information Act, a rarely used exemption that refers to “geological and geophysical information and data.” One email in particular concerned Kennedy and, according to the FBI summary, providing a B9 exemption “would allow him to archive the document in the basement of the department of state never to be seen again.” The FBI official told Kennedy that he would look into the email if Kennedy would authorize a pending request for additional FBI personnel in Iraq.
Surprising exactly no one.
FBI, DOJ roiled by Comey, Lynch decision to let Clinton slide by on emails, says insider.
“It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted,” the senior FBI official told Fox News. “We were floored while listening to the FBI briefing because Comey laid it all out, and then said ‘but we are doing nothing,’ which made no sense to us.”
Criminal.
I Did Not have Sexual Relations….
I had no access to any questions.
It’s always deny, deny, deny with Democrats. Soon the media apparatchiks will be smirking and belittling their guests who talk about this cheating with something like, “the third word of the second sentence is completely different than the question so you can’t say the question was forwarded to Clinton”.
Not at all pay to play.
Are you a friend of Bill? I don’t think most people are.
Hillary Clinton and her campaign have repeatedly insisted that Clinton Foundation donors and other associates of the family never received any special treatment from the State Department during Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State. E-mails gleaned from FOIA actions tell a much different story.

Laws are for the little people. Trump was threatening one of the Big People, which is why the other Big People and their hangers-on are so upset.
No, MSM
Appointing a Special Prosecutor is not indicative of a banana republic.
The FBI and the DOJ not charging Clinton in July is.
Vampires.
The whole family. Vampires.
And the media say Trump is the disqualified person.
Via, TimR:
The media, of course, don’t focus on any of these things. Instead they trot out a tape of Trump talking dirty about women eleven years ago. I know that no other men would ever talk like that on a bus, in a locker room, at a bar, or at a bowling alley. The media and Hillary are absolutely shocked. According to Hillary, no one who ever talked like that or treated women like that can ever be president. (That is really rich coming from the wife of Bill.)
When has the media ever focused on things detrimental to Democrats?
Is it fair to criticize Trump? Yes. Is it fair to ignore the failings of Clinton? No. The media is and always has been in the tank for Clinton because Trump offends their sensibilities even as the world burns around them.
What have you got to lose?, indeed.

When A Clinton Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
The whole thing’s worth watching but especially the bit beginning at 3:30. This is a sequel to Gowdy’s first grilling of Comey before the House Oversight Committee in July, so go watch that clip to prepare yourself for this one. […]
Gowdy’s point is the same now as it was then. Isn’t destroying evidence and then lying about it the best evidence of criminal intent insofar as it reveals a guilty mind? Because that’s what we have here — deleted emails, wiped servers, and then a series of public lies by Hillary about whether she’d ever dealt with classified information on her private system. What more would you need to have seen from her by way of suspicious behavior, he asks Comey, to conclude that she really did know all along that she was mishandling classified information and therefore is guilty even under Comey’s own standard of intent? Comey … has no good answer.

“I ordered this book from the Clinton Foundation for 2.5 million USD. It came with a certificate good for one free ambassadorship and a guaranteed seat on the State Department advisory board. I only give it one star because when I received the book I found all the pages had been deleted.”

When The Democrats Do It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
Top Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills received an immunity deal from the Justice Department in the FBI’s investigation into the former secretary of state’s email server, House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said Friday.
“This is beyond explanation. The FBI was handing out immunity agreements like candy,” Chaffetz said in a statement. “I’ve lost confidence in this investigation and I question the genuine effort in which it was carried out. Immunity deals should not be a requirement for cooperating with the FBI.”
“Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?”

A winning message, no doubt.

When A Clinton Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
Something I stumbled upon in my travels…
Here is the guy who wiped Hillary’s server asking about how to do it on Reddit. Yes. Seriously. He also asks how to replace real emails with fake ones.
His post happens right about the same time congress was requesting Clinton’s emails. He specifically said it was for a big name client who everybody would recognize.
A Reddit post has been found from Paul Combetta (the IT guy who got FBI immunity and deleted Hillary’s emails) proving they were covering up for Hillary.

Hillary Clinton’s new book Stronger Together is a “flop” after selling less than 3,000 copies in its first week on sale, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

If there’s a Clinton involved — parse.
