FBI Director: Democratic Convention Not a Deadline in Clinton Email Investigation

FBI Director James Comey says the forthcoming Democratic National Convention does not represent a deadline for finishing the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails.

Asked about the case today at a security conference in London, he said, "Somebody asked me if the Democratic National Convention is a hard stop or a key date for you? Are you doing this aimed at that? And I said, no.

"We aspire to do all our investigations in two ways -- well and promptly, especially investigations that are of great interest to the public. We want to do them promptly.

"I get that people care about this investigation, and so we're working very hard to ensure it's well and promptly. But as between the two, if we have to choose, we will do it well. But again we aspire to do it well and promptly."

10. It amazes me that the Clinton supporters can overlook all of her "shenanigans"

her selling of our countries favors for her own personal profit, her lying and cheating and shenanigans during the campaign, the policies that she and or her Dawg Bill have put into place that have destroyed families and cost lives. The wars that she has contributed to... all of this is a-ok

BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON"T LET BERNIE GET INVITED TO THE VATICAN. Because apparently something that minor can cause big issues in the Hillary supporter's mind.

I think you all need to rethink yourselves. I can't even believe that Americans who say they are not republicans can act this way.

Judge Rejects DoJ's Classified Court Filing on Clinton E-mails.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/judge-rejects-dojs-classified-court-filing-on-clinton-emails/article/2589096

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Justice Department needs to make public at least a partial copy of a classified filing that seeks to keep details about Hillary Clinton's private server out of the public eye.

The ruling comes after the department submitted a classified filing to U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss last month asking that he prevent certain information about the server from being released. In a motion filed on Tuesday, Vice News reporter Jason Leopold asked the court to deny that request.

Leopold argued that the department had submitted the filing "without prior permission from the court," or proper notice to Leopold, who has filed a Freedom of Information Act suit seeking details of what the FBI may know about the classified information Clinton improperly kept on her server.

Though more than 30,000 emails Clinton sent or received as secretary of state were released by the State Department over the last year, Leopold is seeking another 30,000 messages Clinton deleted after she decided they were "personal" in nature. As part of its investigation into Clinton's conduct, the FBI is believed to have recovered at least some of those messages.

The agency has maintained that releasing any new information could harm its investigation.
If the Justice Department maintains that providing a redacted copy of its filing is not possible, the order from Moss demands that the department show cause. Government attorneys have until April 26 to respond.


Emphasis is mine but that whole releasing any new information could harm its investigation has my spider sense tingling....
