The Hillary camp is outraged at Comey’s decision to reopen his investigation into Hillary’s emails at this late hour in the campaign. They assert the move is “unprecedented” and are demanding that Comey immediately release everything. Hillary, a trained lawyer, knows that potential evidence is never released before it is examined. Still, Hillary remains, as always, in deceptive attack mode, going for the throat.
But as Paul Mirengoff of Powerline suggests, “What Goes Around Comes Around.” Both he and Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner point out Hillary’s hypocrisy:
…24 years ago, as former President George H.W. Bush was surging back against challenger Bill Clinton, a special prosecutor raised new charges against Bush in the Iran-Contra probe, prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a “culture of corruption.” (see video)
The indictment of Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger by special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh just 4 days prior to the vote in 1992 was later thrown out.
Hillary Clinton’s reputation as a corrupt scheming politician continues today and stains her entire adult life.
A former FBI official has called the Clintons a “crime family.”
The front page of the New York Post, posted on the Drudge Report mocks Hillary’s sordid reality with the headline, “Happy Hallo Weiner.”
Charles Goodwin proclaims, “Hillary only has herself to blame for the mess she’s in.”
See also the most deplorable of the latest Wiki email dump here which includes: A Hillary quote in which she suggests, “…we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win,” in the Palestinian election; The Campaign maligning a nurses union; Indiciations that Hillary drinks on the campaign trail and has needed “sobering up” at 4:30 in the afternoon; The DNC and Hillary’s campaign held joint a account in violation of FEC laws…and more…
The trail of lies and corruption goes way back and it continues. Her recent outrage over the reopening of the case against her is as phony as she is. It’s time for this woman to be stopped in her tracks.
A federal judge has now issued a search warrant so the FBI can search that laptop for evidence of a Hillary crime. Before that, they only had authorization to search for evidence of Weiner’s sexting to underage girls, which is his established M.O. I think the first warrant was good enough, since anything found could be construed as falling under the plain view doctrine, but it is always good to have an actual search warrant. For those outside of law enforcement, I will explain what a search warrant requires. The Police officer must submit an affidavit and personally swear before a judge that there is probable cause to believe that the subject of his investigation (Hillary) has committed a crime, a felony, since those are the only crimes that the FBI investigates, and that evidence of that crime can be found at the place he wants to search–the laptop. The judge agrees and authorizes the warrant. Bear in mind that the judge believes that Hillary has committed this crime. Probable cause is exactly the same standard of proof required for an arrest and a Grand Jury indictment.

The news reported this morning that the FBI agents discovered the Huma emails on the laptop 3 weeks ago and informed Comey. He requested the warrant from the DoJ at that time and after being denied it by Lynch decided to notify Congress of their existence, with his letter.
Also hearing his life at work and at home has been a living hell since July. Coworkers refuse to talk to him or even greet him in the hall way. His wife has also let known her disappointment with his earlier decision.
Not sure if what he did was legal or not, but have to give him credit for once again, putting the country above his own self preservation. If Hillary does win he will be impeached, that’s a given. And if Trump wins, he may have a choice to stay or not.
Yeah, I know this has been “memed” to death, but hey, it made me laugh.

I read earlier the name of the judge who is dealing with the Weiner case name is Preet Bahara. I thought his name sounded familiar and thought he might be the same guy who sentenced Denish D’Souza to eight months of confinement and a big fine for his campaign contribution case. Turns out I was right. How many Preet Baharas can there be?
I wasn’t able to find the Weiner article again to post here, but it’s out there. Bahara is also a big Obama supporter, which means more bad news for those who try to stand up to this administration’s corruption.
Wish we could vote for our attorney general. Trey Gowdy would get my vote.
Rep. Gowdy on the impact of the FBI’s new Clinton inquiry:

And on the lighter side . . ..
For more than an hour as of approximately 11:50 p.m. Sunday, a Google search for the terms “pathological lying” was producing a picture of Mrs. Clinton.
The picture appears as the illustration for what Google calls a special “featured snippet block” at the top of the page. The snippet quotes from, and includes a link to, the Wikipedia article for “pathological lying.”
By early Monday morning, the image had been removed from the Google search.

“Hillary, a trained lawyer, knows that potential evidence is never released before it is examined.”
She also knows that law enforcement does not generally go around announcing the acquisition of new evidence BEFORE it has been examined. Comey, more interested in placating morons than doing his job is up S@!& Creek, politically speaking.
And now I find out that these are not “Hillary” emails, they are Abedin emails, and even more unlikely to be of interest, criminally speaking.
“Bear in mind that the judge believes that Hillary has committed this crime.”
You … are a legal ignoramus. (I know, I called a name, but dang, you are extravagantly provocative … I mean … I could have said “liar” which is also applicable.) The judge believes no such thing. The judge believes that the material may be material to the investigation and law enforcement is entitle to look at it … and that is all.
Poor Lippy is just beside herself! Can you say schadenfreude? This is too funny.
Comey is required by law to inform congress if he is opening an investigation and did so. Even the corrupt Obama White House came out and defended Comey’s integrity today (10/31/2016).
Why FBI Director Made Clinton Email Announcement Now
Why did FBI Director James Comey shock Washington on Friday with an announcement that the FBI “has learned of the existence of emails” related to Hillary Clinton’s private email server, and what does it mean?
The truth is Comey didn’t have a choice. Because the new information followed his sworn testimony about the case, Comey was obligated by Department of Justice rules to keep the relevant committees apprised.
…
In his letter, Comey did not use the phrase being touted by Republicans that the case had been reopened. Technically it was never closed. Nor did he signal at all about the importance or unimportance about the emails.
Again, the poor, horrid, snotty and angry Lippy is just beside herself! What a beautiful day. Time for a happy dance …

Pie, you’re projecting.
“Comey is required by law to inform congress if he is opening an investigation and did so.”
Didn’t you just quote that the investigation was not closed? So why make special announcements about an on-going investigation? Unless, you’re worried that if you don’t, the rabid right will get hysterical with: “it’s a cover-up, collusion, conspiracy!” … which, the rabid right has been doing all along. The fact is that to make pronouncements about ongoing investigations simply is not done … unless your more interested in placating morons than conducting your business professionally.
I am not projecting anything except my happy dance, Lippy. Do you ever listen to yourself or read what you write? No, of course not.
Semantics is the refuge of the specious and your nonsense is no exception. Yes, the investigation was never officially closed, nevertheless Comey is still required to keep congress apprised of significant developments in any investigation, even if it has gone dormant.
Suck that up, deary. In your face. I am dancing!
Dear Libby:
I am no legal ignoramus. During my 22 years as a Special Agent, I submitted at least 40 search warrant affidavits, and all the judges liked seeing me, because they knew I was competent. I also executed about 60 search warrants based on other investigators’ affidavits. Upon authorization, the warrant is automatically sealed until the return. That refers to the Police Officer who has served the warrant returning to the judge with a summary of what was seized. Only at that point can the affidavit be released. Actually, it would be longer than that, because, upon doing the return, the officer will often request that the affidavit continue to be sealed until charges are filed. In our usual cases, the reason to seal it was that we proceeded by Grand Jury, which by statute is secret until an indictment is handed down. You can be sure that Hillary’s defense lawyers are camped out at the judge’s office, clamoring to see the affidavit, but they won’t get it until it is unsealed. And by the way, you are wrong that the judge merely believes the information to be “material” to the investigation, although that is also probably true. The judge must agree that there is probable cause to believe a particular person has committed a particular crime and that evidence of that crime can be found at the particular place where the officer intends to search. All those particulars have to be named in the affidavit.
Experience and knowledge trumps ignorance and anger every time, eh Lippy?
Soaps, that’s all very generically correct, but how does it apply to this situation? While investigating Weiner’s alleged misconduct, the FBI stumbles over a trove of emails on Weiner’s devises presumably between Clinton and Abedin while Clinton was SoS. As I understand it, there are now complications over marital privilege and whether the FBI can legally access the material at all.
Furthermore, you did not say “probable cause”. You said: “Bear in mind that the judge believes that Hillary has committed this crime.” And that is a lie.
Furthermore, you did not say “probable cause”. You said: “Bear in mind that the judge believes that Hillary has committed this crime.” And that is a lie.
Exactly. But is a lie in service of defeating Hillary Clinton really a lie? Not on this blog, it seems.
Oh, shut up Chris. Get your own blog.
God, I want to crawl under a rock until it’s over.
Evidently Billy and Lippy think the FBI had not legal foundation to discover a possible 650,000 emails on a laptop computer that should have been turned over to the FBI six months ago.
“Probable cause” my ***! Huma lied to the FBI when she said that she had turned over all pertinent communications devices YOU MORONS!
Have fun twisting in the wind while I do my happy dance you two specious fools.
Of course the FBI had legal foundation. I don’t think Comey should have written such a vague letter, which only inflamed the public without actually informing them of anything, but nor am I with the crazier liberals (including that embarrassment Harry Reid) who think he purposefully did this to influence the election.
Her devices, Pie. She turned over her devices. One would like to know how all this stuff came to be on Weiner’s machines … they shared an email account? Conducting government business over shared personal email accounts, if that’s what this collegial little group was doing, is strikingly unprofessional. I am dismayed.
You’re just setting yourself up for yet another disappointment. I don’t know why you repeatedly do this.
Read it and weep, Lippy.
Huma Abedin handled classified data on computer shared with Anthony Weiner
Dude, I will never weep over anything “reported” in The Washington Times.
For instance:
“Indeed, the Clinton family and its allies have faced an extraordinary number of investigations over their quarter-century in Washington.
‘There’s an interesting circumstantial case to be made how much smoke there has been surrounding the Clintons over the years,” said Chris Jenks, a law professor at Southern Methodist University and a former attorney adviser at the State Department.'”
Yeah, a case for the truly exceptional degree of animosity leveled at the two of them. How many years did the Whitewater thing drag on? Wiki sums it up nicely:
“The length, expense, and results of the Whitewater investigations turned the public against the Office of the Independent Counsel; even Kenneth Starr was opposed to it. The Independent Counsel law was allowed to expire in 1999. Indeed, no one ended up happy with the Whitewater investigation; Democrats felt that the investigation was a political witch-hunt, Republicans were frustrated that both Clintons had escaped formal charges, and those without partisan involvement found press coverage of Whitewater, which spanned four decades, difficult to understand.”
And how many Benghazi investigations have we had? Four, I believe it is. But you still insist … fervently and irrationally INSIST … that she, … frankly, I don’t understand what it is you think she did.
I don’t suppose there’s any hope of you realizing that the depth of your dislike is unwarranted, but four years of one absurdly contrived “scandal” after another is going to be sooooooo weary-making.
IT’S A VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!
Influence peddling, acting for Putin’s ally, hiding classified secrets and sexting – how FIVE separate FBI cases are probing virtually every one of Clinton’s inner circle and their families
