FBI agreed to destroy laptops of Clinton aides with immunity deal, lawmaker says
by Catherine Herridge and Adam Shaw
Immunity deals for two top Hillary Clinton aides included a side arrangement obliging the FBI to destroy their laptops after reviewing the devices, House Judiciary Committee sources told Fox News on Monday.
Sources said the arrangement with former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson also limited the search to no later than Jan. 31, 2015. This meant investigators could not review documents for the period after the email server became public — in turn preventing the bureau from discovering if there was any evidence of obstruction of justice, sources said.
The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee fired off a letter Monday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking why the DOJ and FBI agreed to the restrictive terms, including that the FBI would destroy the laptops after finishing the search.
“Like many things about this case, these new materials raise more questions than answers,” Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News.
Precisely correct. Because if you “do deals,” then you are — unless you’re a complete dunsel — expecting something in return.
“Doesn’t the willingness of Ms. Mills and Ms. Samuelson to have their laptops destroyed by the FBI contradict their claim that the laptops could have been withheld because they contained non-relevant, privileged information? If so, doesn’t that undermine the claim that the side agreements were necessary?” Goodlatte asks.
Why yes, it does. Read that paragraph over very carefully, because of the reveal. IF the laptops were not important to the case, then why would they require destruction?
Surely, destruction of the laptops was not an issue brought to the table by the FBI. It would have been an issue brought to the table specifically by Mills and Samuelson.
Wait. Isn’t that called a clue?
Immunity was provided and EVIDENCE DESTROYED because of said immunity deal.
When the government provides immunity — and only government entities can do so — it is invariably because prosecution is focusing not on the level of those provided immunity but on levels above. In other words, immunity is provided in order to catch the so-called “bigger fish.”
So I ask: what “bigger fish” were caught by providing immunity to Mills and Samuelson and, further, why did this immunity include destruction of the hard drives from their laptops?
Hillary Clinton has still not gotten over the fact that she lost the 2008 presidential election to a black man who had not paid the dues that she perceived she has.
She may lose the first debate tomorrow, Monday.
By all accounts, Hillary believes she is simply “due” the office because of her water-carrying for the Demorats over the years and her seemingly-unflagging support of her serial-philandering husband, William Jefferson Clinton. You know, the man who has his “blond bimbo” over to the Clinton family Chappaqua compound when Hillary is gone with such frequency that the Secret Service calls her the “Energizer.”
It is Hillary Rodham Clinton’s “basket of deplorables.” It is her sense of entitlement to the White House. It is beneath HRC to have to remotely attempt to justify her bid for the White House. The air of entitlement is both thick and rich on many levels. Her victory is due her. “You don’t like me, therefore you are wrong and bad and worth destroying.”
Hillary Clinton cannot connect with independent voters, she fails to connect with younger voters for obvious reasons, she attempts to “re-introduce” herself on damned near a weekly basis. North Carolina, Ohio and Nevada have become “swing states.”
However, you can visibly perceive the unwellness in not only the body but the soul of Hillary Rodham Clinton. And just as she makes the speech above, two new articles emerge about her health — following her odd exhibition of strabismus during a recent speech in Philadelphia.
Though the immediate video below is amusing to a degree, its source material is not doctored and reveals an incredibly-serious and continuing health issue.
Following her fall as I documented here, a number of sources have weighed in with regard to health. Again. From TheHill.com:
Clinton’s eyes — a window into her health issues
by John R. Coppedge
In 2014 Conan O’Brien did a spoof of Hillary Clinton‘s interview with Diane Sawyer about her lack of lingering health issues following her 2012 concussion. In an obviously photoshopped version Clinton’s eyes are made to oscillate crazily.
It was a very funny piece. Now, it may not seem so funny.
Her eyes did not always move in the same direction at the same time. It appears that she has a problem with her left sixth cranial nerve. That nerve serves only one function and that is to make the lateral rectus muscle contract. That muscle turns the eye in the direction away from the midline.
Please allow me to step in at this point and allow that the author is John R. Coppedge, MD, FACS, a general surgeon from Texas. Not a pundit, not a political hack.
First: this is the Conan O’Brien video to which Coppedge refers:
Like all things medical, there is a long list of potential causes but in my opinion the most likely one, based on Clinton’s known medical history is an intermittent lateral rectus palsy caused by damage to or pressure on her sixth cranial nerve.
It is known that she suffered a traumatic brain injury in late 2012 when she fell and struck her head. What is also known is that she was diagnosed with a transverse sinus thrombosis — blood clot in the major vein at the base of the brain. Almost all patients with a transverse sinus thrombosis suffer swelling of the brain and increased intracranial pressure. Most have headaches, balance issues and visual disturbances — all of which Clinton was reported to have following that event.
Clinton’s physician reported that she was placed on Coumadin (a blood thinner) to dissolve the blood clot. Actually, that is incorrect, because Coumadin has no effect on an existing clot. It serves only to decrease the chance of further clotting occurring Clinton’s physician has also reported that on follow up exam, the clot had resolved. That is surprising since the majority of such clots do not dissolve. The way it was documented that the clot had resolved has not been reported.
Does Hillary Clinton play a part in her situation? Continue reading.
Critics will rightly point out that I have not examined Clinton. They will point out that I am not ophthalmologist or a neurologist. But I am a physician and the concepts discussed above are taught to every medical student early in their education. Her traumatic brain injury, transverse sinus thrombosis, subsequent symptoms, falling, passing out and now the obvious problem with eye movement are all fact, not speculation.
It would be very helpful if Clinton agreed to an independent exam and to have the questions raised here answered. It is too important not to get this right.
Has Hillary Clinton been controlling her own medical treatment, avoiding the obvious?
Hillary Clinton won’t be taking a neurocognitive test, and releasing the results to the public — telling a reporter “there’s no need for that,” even after collapsing as she was leaving a 9/11 memorial event last week in Manhattan.
Clinton made the comment, suggesting she will not be releasing any further medical information this presidential campaign, in an interview Wednesday with Florida’s WFTS ABC Action News.
Why am I focusing so closely on the “medical issues” of Hillary Rodham Clinton? Because the American Media Maggots would do precisely the same thing had the roles been reversed with regard to Donald Trump. Like a pit bull, they would have worn the issue down to the bone with Donald Trump. If it took weeks, if it took months, they would not have cared.
Desperate times for Hillary, requiring desperate measures — to include wearing an earpiece through which she could receive verbal prompts when placed in, say, “challenging situations” such as — wait for it — the debates with Donald Trump, the first of which occurs tomorrow, Monday the 26th.
But this is not simply my speculation. There is an email released by WikiLeaks in which Huma Abedin makes reference to Hillary’s “earpiece” in 2009.
Please note: one does not customarily refer to, say, hearing aids as an “earpiece,” should the Hillary defenders weigh in.
Further, once the issue came to light, a source whose work includes intelligence stated he saw her wearing a similar flesh-colored piece in her ear a number of years ago. Certainly nothing like the USSS wears for dignitary protection.
Was and is Hillary Clinton being fed information from an outside source, either by way of RF or Bluetooth technology and, moreover, will she be wearing a similar unit during the debates?
Hillary Rodham Clinton, I think you have a problem. Quite a number of them, in fact.
Astoundingly helpful, if one counts bribes and pressure and corruption. Please watch and, more importantly, listen carefully to the video, then read the story.
I am pushback and, as such, it is my job to present the facts, figures and representations that the American Media Maggot lapdogs avoid altogether, provide as half-truths or lie about. Now that you’ve seen the video, read the Saturday story from 100percentfedup.com:
BREAKING FLORIDA: FORMER HAITIAN Senate President Drops CLINTON BOMBSHELL Exposing Unbelievable Corruption At Trump Event
Former Senate President of Haiti, Bernard Sansaricq, shocked a large crowd at a Trump campaign event in Little Haiti, FL. Sansaricq exposes all of the dirty dealings of the Clinton’s in Haiti while he was still in office. Donald Trump to his credit, allowed him to speak his mind and expose to the world what kind of criminals are attempting to scratch and claw their way back into our White House.
Sansaricq also claims he begged the Clinton Administration not to invade Haiti. His request was followed up with a visit by an anonymous messenger from the White House who encouraged him to “side” with the Clinton Administration and he would “be the richest man in Haiti.”
The Haitians said following the US invasion of Haiti: “ ‘Lave men ou, siye li a te.’ It looks like you wash your hands and dry them in dirt.”
Let me summarize what happened to Haiti. The US invaded it twice, the first during WWI. The second time was during the Bill Clinton administration in 1994, where 20,000 troops were sent by Willie J to quell the “illegitimate regime” of General Raoul Cedras and his terrorist rabble of gangbangers/enforcers, known as FRAPH.
This invasion occurred on the heels of, if you recall, the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia (Blackhawk Down).
Col. Mark Boyatt, the overall commander of Special Forces in Haiti, told his commandos to begin regarding FRAPH as Haiti’s “loyal opposition,” as if the terrorists, overnight, had become Haiti’s equivalent to the Republican Party, rehabilitated patriots eager to remake Haiti into a modern democratic nation.
Who gave that order? Sandy Berger and the White House. Thank you Willie J. Why did we go there in the first place, you buffoon? Today’s PlaySkool T-ball journalistas are not the least bit curious.
Clinton pulled our forces from Haiti in 1996, with many considering Haiti to be in worse shape than when we arrived. Some Haitians asked “why has America come to save us? Who will save us now?”
He also suggests that Hillary Clinton “disclose the audit of all money” related to the Haiti earthquake crisis, as he claims they scammed the poorest citizens of Haiti out of BILLIONS of dollars through the Clinton Foundation.
“Not even 2% of that money went back to Haiti. So Mr. Trump, we are asking you, begging you, the Haitian community will side with you if one day, you ask Hillary Clinton publicly to disclose the audit of all of the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake. Haiti is a very poor country. Haiti needs defenders. You said you would champion our cause. We welcome you sir and we will work with you. Ask Hillary Clinton publicly, during your next debate for an audit of all of the money they have stolen from Haiti.”
So, let me see if I have this correct: Haiti was made a Clinton Sandwich. One piece of corrupt bread was applied in 1994 by Bill, and the other piece of corrupt bread was applied by Hillary in 2010 following the earthquake, in the name of the Clinton Foundation.
Yet the Clintons want the vote of every Haitian in America.
It’s like asking the mentally defective (now, damned near 50% of the voters) to take a ball-peen hammer and smack themselves in the temple, then beg to do it again from the person who provided the hammer.
Besides the NY Times, the New Yorker, CNN and NBC abandoning you, and having Jimmy Kimmel say:
KIMMEL: “Hillary Clinton was supposed to be in California today — but she had to cancel the trip because of illness. You probably know Hillary was coughing a lot in public last week and then yesterday she was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial because she was feeling faint. Turns out on Friday Clinton’s doctor had diagnosed her with pneumonia but they kept it secret until this happened and they were forced to admit it. You know, these conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton’s health would be a lot harder to believe if they didn’t actually come true.”
Then there was this slap-in-the-face that occurred during a Hillary Clinton rally Friday, attended by Michelle Obama — from the WashingtonExaminer.com:
Michelle Obama greeted with ‘Four More Years’ chants at Clinton event
by Al Weaver
FAIRFAX, Va. —In her first appearance on the campaign trail in support of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, first lady Michelle Obama was greeted with chants of “four more years,” all the while bashing Donald Trump for his comments questioning where President Obama was born and talking up Clinton as the Democratic nominee.
Soon after she took the stage at George Mason University, Obama spoke about first family’s impending departure from the White House, which was met with chants from supporters.
“My family is almost at the end of our time in the White House,” Obama said before she was drowned out by groans from the crowd before they started up the “four more years” chant. Throughout the chants, the first lady kept saying “noooo.”
How gloriously embarrassing it must have been for Hillary Rodham Clinton whilst, at “her house,” her “guest” received greater accolades, grandeur and huzzahs than did she.
With this in mind: the Clintons despise the Obamas and vice versa. Recently leaked Colin Powell emails prove it.
There was also the recent 2014 book written by Edward Klein entitled “Blood Feud” in which Michelle coined the very creative descriptor “Hildebeest” for HRC. Willie J was known to have said “I hate that man Obama more than any man I’ve ever met, more than any man who ever lived,” the New York Post wrote.
Mr. Clinton was particularly upset at Mr. Obama’s suggestion during the 2008 campaign season that he was a racist, The Blaze reported. Mr. Obama — who was forced to admit he needed Mr. Clinton’s support to win — ultimately phoned the former president in 2011 and asked him to play golf.
Mr. Clinton’s response to the invite, which he did ultimately accept: “I’m not going to enjoy this,” Mr. Klein wrote in his book.
Then there’s this bit-o-tid:
Mr. Klein goes on to chronicle that during the golf match, Mr. Clinton talked about his wife’s presidential qualifications — and was taken off guard when Mr. Obama, at one point, said: “You know, Michelle would make a great presidential candidate, too,” as quoted by a Clinton family friend.
Those are not kind thoughts going through Powell’s head about now. Note his obviously closed body language, leaning away from Hillary Clinton.
If you’re not familiar with the German term schadenfreude, you should be. Look it up. I’ll wait. With that in mind, please read the following breaking story, from TheIntercept.com:
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell attempted to discourage Hillary Clinton and her team from using him as a scapegoat for her private email server problems, according to newly leaked emails from Powell’s Gmail account.
“Sad thing,” Powell wrote to one confidant, “HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me to it.”
“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s [sic] party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,” Powell lamented. He noted that he had tried to settle the matter by meeting with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in August.
If you recall, Hillary Clinton and her camp did indeed “try to blame it on the black man” as I detailed here. It was Colin Powell who told her it was fine to have her private server. According to Hillary and her minions.
Powell’s private messages were leaked by DCLeaks.com, an anonymously managed website that shares hacked emails from U.S. military and political figures. DCLeaks has a relationship with Guccifer 2.0, a hacker that many allege to have ties with Russian intelligence. DCLeaks provided access to Powell’s emails to a number of reporters on Tuesday.
The emails show Powell regularly corresponding with reporters and friends about the Clinton email server scandal, explaining that his situation was different. When Powell arrived at the State Department, the information technology system was badly dated, he argued. And unlike Clinton, Powell never set up a private server. Instead, he used his personal AOL account, on a server maintained by AOL, and used a government computer for classified communications.
By now, I hope you’re seeing the difference between the two persons. One cheats, the other doesn’t. I should tell you up front that, unlike Hillary, Powell’s retinue did not disclaim the emails but, instead, owned up. Those were Colin Powell’s, they said. And Powell did not have a private server as Hillary initially alleged.
Now here’s where things get good.
“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine,” Powell wrote last year to his business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”
Friends, I love that line: “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” Hubris indeed — with gobs of conceit, arrogance, narcissism and pomposity mixed in for good measure.
Powell spared no truth when he also observed:
“I told you about the gig I lost at a University because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn’t any [sic] fees for awhile. I should send her a bill.”
What? A Clinton overcharge for a speech? Powell surely must be prevaricating.
What’s perhaps even more interesting is the spin the American Media Maggots are putting on the Powell’s hacked emails.
NBC News headline: “Colin Powell calls Trump a national disgrace.”
USA Today: “Colin Powell calls Trump national disgrace in hacked emails.”
NY Times: “Colin Powell, in hacked email, calls Trump national disgrace.”
But I find this hacked email particularly illuminating:
I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year-old person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home.
The July 26, 2014, email came just days after The Post, which Powell appears to cite, reported: “Bill Clinton reportedly has a buxom blond mistress who visits so often when Hillary Clinton isn’t home in Chappaqua that the former president’s Secret Service detail have given her an unofficial code name: Energizer.”
This is also interesting:
Peter, I am back from the Bohemian Grove. Surprise, surprise, I sat next to Stephen Harper a couple of times and had a nice discussion. Grove attendees know that Trump is a disaster. Most will vote against, but quite a few will not vote for Hillary and will vote for a third party candidate. Strange doings down here. Otherwise all is well with the Powells. We’ll sneak away for a few days in August. Of course I’d love to see you. Let me know your dates. I told Stephen that you seemed quite content in your new place in life.
All the best, Colin
It’s no shock that Powell dislikes Trump; that’s to be expected. But many will not vote for Hillary? That, indeed, is good news.
Hillary Clinton’s recent incidents, particularly her own forced focus on health, are already creating negative waves on the Demorat side. One Clinton ally said she is a “self-inflicted fucking nightmare.” Even David Axelrod, long-time hod carrier for the Dems, said on Twitter: “Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia. What’s the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?”
Don’t forget, Hillary wants it both ways: If she blamed her email memory issue on a neurological condition — “I can’t recall” 39 times to the FBI — then doesn’t that make the health of Hillary Clinton quite a legitimate issue, having opened the door herself?
Ah yes. Wonderful to see the Clintons are loved, admired and respected in DC.
Tit for tat, pay to play, time to make sure we do in fact cover the arses of DC politicians who just “happen” to be of the Demorat stripe.
Please note: one does not customarily refer to, say, hearing aids as an “earpiece,” should the Hillary defenders weigh in.
Was and is Hillary Clinton being fed information from an outside source, either by way of RF or Bluetooth technology and, moreover, will she be wearing a similar unit during the debates?
There was also the recent 2014 book written by Edward Klein entitled “
