Looks like the NY Times is at it again

Obama’s Comments on Clinton Emails Collide With F.B.I. Inquiry

WASHINGTON — Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal email server last week when President Obama went on television and played down the matter.

“I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He said it was a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”

Those statements angered F.B.I. agents who have been working for months to determine whether Ms. Clinton’s email setup had in fact put any of the nation’s secrets at risk, according to current and former law enforcement officials.

That's the three lead paragraphs of this story, but guess what? No where in the story is there any quote from anyone currently from the FBI making any such claim.

Then, they go so far as to pull up something the President said early in the Petreyus story to make some kind of connection.

Did "effing" Murdoch buy the Times too, or does he just own some of their hack writers.

This story is "effing" ridiculous, but just watch the "righties" snatch onto it like a tick on an elephants ass.

This is something I would expect to see in the Washington Times, but it's perfect for the Reich Wing, because it's anti-Obama and Hillary, and came from a source they will claim is the "Liberal Media".

Whoever wrote this claptrap deserves to be fired for journalistic malpractice.
