Jane Sanders to FBI: Get the lead out on its Clinton e-mail investigation

POLITICO
Jane Sanders to FBI: Get on with Clinton email probe
By Nick Gass
04/29/16


The FBI should get the lead out on its investigation over Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state, Jane Sanders said Thursday.

During an interview with Neil Cavuto aired Thursday on Fox Business, the wife of Bernie Sanders and one of his closest political advisers also said that the campaign would continue to draw distinctions with Clinton on policy issues and not personal affairs.

Sanders noted that her husband's campaign has said as much from the very beginning of the campaign, particularly after he remarked during the first Democratic debate that the American people are "sick of hearing about your damn emails."

But Jane Sanders also noted that the Democratic candidate said there was a process, remarking that the FBI investigation is going forward.

"We want to let it go through without politicizing it, and then we’ll find out what the situation is. And that’s how we still feel," Sanders said. "I mean, it would be nice if the FBI moved it along," she added, with a laugh.



"it would be nice if the FBI moved it along," Jane Sanders says of the probe into Hillary Clinton's private email. |

records, they've cracked a few millions, just in their real estate holdings, the 200k salaries and the financial nepotism they practice.

The sole argument here is that they are deliberately dishonest and fail to keep their word or follow the rules, about financial disclosures. Bernie is a hypocrite, Jane is outright lying. Stay home if your purity tests matter so much because Bernie and Jane fail their own purity tests. Or you can vote for the candidate that's actually been honest and transparent here, in the manner that ALL candidates for office have been asked to be.

Bernie won't follow the rules, but he makes up new ones for Hillary. Jane has said that she's worried that people will do what they have done with Hillary, look into their records and ask questions, which is why she refuses to do what she promised to do, and which presidential candidates are expected to do, release their tax records, ALL of them.

For their entire political history? I'm curious what Bernie was saying to the Irish Republican Army, Oretga etc.

But since that's something that literally no one has EVER asked ANY candidate for EVER, how about we get the tax records out first, you know those things we actually ask of elected offiicials and presidential candidates?

That way, we can see which things Bernie got paid for over the years, and can do what Bernie has done and ask specifically how his contributions relate to his votes.

Why are you guys so eager to let him continue violating his own standards on transparency and honesty? Is it okay to lie and conceal his own financial interests because he's the great Bernie?

I always thought that Abigail Adams was one of our best first ladies. Abigail Fillmore's years in the WH were not memorable. Her husband had been Zachary Taylor's VP and became president when Taylor died. Abigail had been a teacher and spent much of her time reading. She entrusted most of her first lady's duties to her daughter. She died from pneumonia shortly after leaving the WH.

Why would Jane want to be a first lady in Abigail's mold?

It doesn't matter who was using it. The matter is 'espionage'. Pure, as the exit polling. That is the problem. It's Obama's DOJ pussyfooting around.

Even if there are no charges filed, the suspicion will linger that Obama improperly intervened to squelch the investigation or at least to keep the results from being made public before the convention.

But you're right, the longer this thing is kept under wraps, the wilder the speculation will become about what is really going on. By the time of the convention, Clinton will be rumored to be about to be charged with treason and hanged. And a lot of people will believe it.

And while we're at "getting the lead out", she PROMISED Andrea Mitchell on the air two weeks ago that she'd release Sanders' tax returns "WHEN they're due". They were due 12 days ago, where are they.

They put up that irrelevant "transcripts" argument when confronted with the tax return questions. Two separate subjects.

Where are the tax returns? Why are they requesting an extension to file Sanders' PERSONAL finance disclosure report until after the last primary?

Seems curious.

26. I don't think they extradited Gruccifer for grins and giggles
Sat Apr 30, 2016, 01:33 PM
Apr 2016

I don't think they granted immunity just because of a few classified emails. But, speaking of Gruccifer the biggest problem I see with him is he wasn't an actual hacker, it was a hobby and he used different methods than hackers do. He got Sid's emails. Now if a hobbyist can get emails that far up into the chain what could an actual hacker have gotten?

Those were the emails about Libya that Hillary told congress didn't exist.
Also, they contained HER email address. Of course it wasn't that hard to figure out. 4 days before her SoS job started she registered her domain name "ClintonEmail.com". So if you were a hacker and you saw that name you might think" Hey, maybe this has something to do with Clinton and her emails." Just sayin' . . . . . . .

I wonder what your comment has to do with that? Besides nothing, that is.
I would like to see this serious issue discussed seriously, instead of the denial and deflection.

Or, is your answer(?) a sort of Zen koan pointing out that all life is an illusion and irrelevant?

I think that many voters would find an indictment/no indictment of Hillary relevant when they vote.

Is winning/losing an election relevant to what you think?

would be indicative that the FBI and AG persuaded a Grand Jury that there was sufficient evidence to charge her with a violation. Some people would find this relevant. Professionally I don't place a whole lot of credence in merely getting a Grand Jury to indict. Prosecutors do it all the time, whether the person indicted is actually guilty or not.

In my mind, if this was a simple open and shut investigation, it would have been over long ago. Since it's dragging on and on, it makes me fear something really bad is going to happen at a really bad time.

And speaking of firsts...the first spousal White House residents, to have impeachment travails. Hers will likely be served on Day 2.

"Well what does it matter?" Perhaps even more than we thought?

Oh they are ready, all right. The white hot 2 decade hatred (which is overblown, but still a reality) between the two factions is legendary.

That a large portion of Establishment Democrats think their denial about this highly flawed candidate with some new ones thrown in for good measure, aka, Foundation...which will likely create her to be our nominee...will be honored by the Republicans is in the category of science fiction.

how to remove the classification markings so he can fax her some classified talking points on a non-secure line.

Is that what you'd call "minutiae of IT policy?"


PS. It really isn't about how you "think" about the email controversy. What matters are the facts. And a lot of very damning facts have come out. Best read up and see if your "thinking" changes.

We have democratic senators proposing that we make it illegal to use encryption that can't be broken, ffs.

If there were a coherent system in place, implemented to secure state secrets or whatever, that she bypassed, that would be damning. But I don't think that's what happened, because there was no coherent system.

That's exactly what she did. Rather than be in the government secure system that they monitor all day every day. She set up her own server at home to bypass that network. It was not secure. I heard one guy talk about it and I can't remember the level of security she had on her server but it was minimal. He said there was an extra-marital dating site that had the next higher level of security which made it 64,000 times more secure and it was hacked and all their date put out on the internet.

One congressman who had been an Air Force pilot for 14 years and is now on the intelligence committee, he read those 22 top level emails and said they had sources, methods and human asset information on them. He said it was obvious they were classified.

In the agreement she signed under oath, it said that information is classified whether it is marked or not, it is the content that is classified. And one example this congressman gave, he said this wasn't what it actually said but suppose you got an email that listed 10 of our undercover agents in another country with their names and addresses? Even if it isn't marked, you should KNOW that is classified.

She put our most secret national security information out there unprotected. She did ALL her SoS work on that personal, unsecure, unencrypted server.

People in the intelligence community are shocked that she was able to get away with it for so long.

First, we know that she had her own personal server so that she had control over her email and not the government. Talk about 'transparency'.

Well, I just heard that after she left her job as a Senator, ALL of her email from that time were "lost". Hmmmmm. Look like a pattern of non-transparency to you?

Sun May 1, 2016, 12:41 PM
May 2016

Get it done and over with so, that the very predictable nightmare of a significant scandal isn't THE cause of a failed campaign in the G.E.

The Right Wing Media isn't going to dismiss this easily, but HRC's media (CNN/MSNBC/ABC/PBS) may be forced to report on the findings, no matter the outcome.

They may only give a whisper of a mention or not report on it at all, UNLESS the findings go to the level of a grand jury I suppose. Seems to me, the party establishment would rather avoid the prospect of that kind of spectur during the G.E.

But then the judgement of the party establishment has been rather baffling to me in many respects.

Lacking foresight is not exactly a winning strategy, imo.

Jane did NOT say, "get the lead out." Answering questions, she said the Sanders campaign did not want to politicize it , but "it would be nice if the FBI moved it along." And she said it with a laugh.

In putting false phrases like "get the lead out" in her mouth, you misrepresent Jane Sanders and you feed into the lies and scorn of the ugliest, nastiest commenters.
