Sources close to the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's email are knocking down suggestions that 147 federal agents are working on the case, a figure first reported — and now revised — by the Washington Post, citing a lawmaker.
The Post updated the figure on Tuesday, stating that while the "FBI will not provide an exact figure," there are "fewer than 50" FBI personnel involved in the case.
But a former federal law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the Clinton investigation tells MSNBC an estimate anywhere near 50 agents is also off base.
"There are currently about 12 FBI agents working full-time on the case," says the source, who would only speak anonymously about an open investigation.
Of course a number of conservative news outlets celebrated the Washington Post article as proving that not only was the investigation coming to it conclusion, but that with so many agents assigned to the case it was clear they were finding things that would surely see Hillary sent to prison.
Remember this e-mail "scandal" is all they have to cling to right now since the Benghazi thing fizzled out.
And there are still literally thousands of Right Wing types, and Bernie supporters, who have convinced themselves that Clinton is headed to the poky and will not be on the Democratic ticket in 2016.
Yup. It's just a matter of time until the "entitled" becomes the "indicted" and all the rich Wall Street suitors in the world won't be able to put Humpty (which accent will she use in prison) Hillary back together again.
ReplyDeleteThen Gryph will take his ball and go home or end up voting for Drumpf
Bullshit on every single part of your comment. You're just a clown.
DeleteI'm impressed that you managed to refrain from calling her "pantsuit" this time. Baby steps, bro.
DeleteWell, a Bernie Bro, as I live and breathe. I shout you were a myth, like the trolls that live under bridges.
DeleteThere shouldn't even be 12 working on her emails. Both of Bushs SoS did the same thing. Plus how do you stop somebody from sending you an email seems to me you can only control how you send an email.
ReplyDelete12 is a waste of resources.
ReplyDeleteEven one lowly clerk looking for the scandal that isn't there is a waste of resources. Someone should total up all costs of all the inane, absurd investigations the GOP has launched against the Clintons.

This is so stupid. If there had been ANYTHING there that might have caused Hillary to be 'under investigation,' she would know and would not have started this campaign. I ,keep asking the RW morons if they plan for Condi to share a cell, siren she did the exact same thing. And Powell. But they are so hyped up over seeing Hillary in 'prison orange' they don;'t even bother to think any longer. The US is a sad place.
ReplyDeleteCondi and Powell did not have private servers (much less in their residence), nor the Clinton Foundation political slush fund. Nor have they been outed as ever removing 'classified' from a document and sending it on. Condi didn't even use email herself, her staff did.
DeleteSo sorry, your pretend comparisons do pale.
Nor were they living with a former president & sharing a server with him. HRC is in a special category due to that; nothing will come from this. Sorry, BernieBro.
DeleteAgain 'former' president?
DeleteWhy does 'former' sexual predator president, somehow put Hillary above the law LMAO?
I'm surprised and disappointed there are twelve agents working on this foolish wild goose chase. The GOP has already been outed for drumming up this so-called scandal simply to derail Hillary's campaign.
ReplyDeleteIt's twelve until it's one.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP is still butt hurt over Nixon after all these years. Time for them to shut up or grow up. Both would be nice.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they have so many working on it so they can put all the bullshit rumors to bed so she can concentrate on more important things.
ReplyDeleteIMHO, if they don't find anything, then Trey Gowdy should have to serve prison time for wasting taxpayer money.
Can we throw Slimy Ted in there too, for his 23 billion dollar stunt? Let's make sure they go to a for-profit prison so they can eat rat meat.
DeleteThat's repubs for you. Politics of personal destruction all the way here in AK especially...
DeleteSo it's not nearly as yooge as advertised?
ReplyDeleteBookies in London show odds for Palin going to jail are far better than Hillary going.
ReplyDeleteBoy, the GOP must really be scared of Hillary Clinton. They have been trying to smear her with fake scandal ever since Bill Clinton first ran in 1992. Is it Hillary in particular or are they all just terrified of intelligent, articulate, capable women?
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Answer >YES! "any of them , ALL of them"..
DeleteRead the book Dark Money by Jane Mayer.
DeleteThe plan goes back to before Watergate.
I'm a Bernie supporter, but guys, there is no "there" there. This is ridiculous. Both Condi and Colin said they had private servers. The government is going back and classifying some of Colin's emails as "secret"-- ridiculous in my opinion. The truth is the private servers were more security and private than the government ones at the time.
ReplyDeleteNo, they did not have private servers.
DeleteCondi and Colin did NOT have private servers.
Serve up your plate of bs elsewhere.
She and a former President shared a private server. You really think the FBI will find that to be criminal? No. They won't. There is no evidence of hacking. Sorry, BernieBro.
Delete3:42, cannot wait to come back in here and LMAO at you.
DeleteWhat does Hillary's disregard of the law have to do with her former president husband btw?
Condi and Colin had private emails but not private server
ReplyDeleteSo? She shares a private server with a former President and there is zero evidence of hacking.
DeleteYou said the same thing the other day, what the hell does this have to do with a 'former' rapist president?
DeleteDidn't the criminal Tom DeLay claim he had some FBI buddies who told them they were "ready to indict" Hillary? That was in January. These people are repeatedly proven to be full of hot air. They are trying to save face after the big nothingburger Benghazi! turned out to be, but they make themselves look worse and worse.
ReplyDeleteThey say BS to fund raise. How have they done with Obamacare? They will never stop it but they still say they will!
DeleteThese are all from the last day or so~
