Discussion: Grassley: 'I Assume' FBI Could Leak Clinton<span style="line-height: 1em;"> Email Investigation

Sure, let’s assume two massively illegal acts, rather than assume everyone just does their legal job.

I assume that Trey Gowdry will be arrested and charged with orchestrating the leaks from his committee before the election as well.

Like Freeh before him, Comey has made a big mistake in assisting GOP political tricks. It is clear Clinton can’t trust him and must fire him the day she takes office.

Of course the FBI chief has a ten year tenure in theory. But that is very easy to circumvent. Clinton can and should revoke Comey’s security clearances by executive order on inauguration day.

Give it up Chuck! If they had anything vaguely incriminating, it would have leaked already.

Repeating innuendo doesn’t make the innuendo fact. As a matter of fact, Grassley is bordering on slander. Asshole – but he already knew that.

They could probably leak all the dirt they likely have on Trump, Cruz, and Grassley, because it’s a near certainty that they have much more to hide than Hillary, who has been investigated for 25 years.

In other words, he’s starting to suggest political interference already exists and is priming the pump for the brewing Teatroll freakout over the FBI and DOJ eventually stating they found no evidence of criminal activity and that they are never going to prosecute HRC. This is also a sort of APB to conservatives in the FBI to make some anonymous phone calls to Faux News, because if you’ve paid any attention to knowing thine enemy, you’d know that Faux News has had at least 3 main webpage articles a week pushing the idea that HRC has already clearly broken the law and needs to be charged and prosecuted and they are ALWAYS based on something along the lines of “anonymous source with insight into the investigation,” which I always read as “the janitor will say whatever we want for a few Banjamins.”

“And if there’s political interference, then I assume that somebody in the FBI is going to leak these reports and it’s either going to have an effect politically or it’s going to lead to prosecution if there’s enough evidence.”

“well mostly you Chuck”

That pretty much nails it…with Grassley tossing in the obligatory CYA at the end

"I wouldn’t be encouraging it because if it’s a violation of law, I can’t be encouraging a violation of law,” Grassley said. “This is kind of my own opinion, this is something I’ve heard.”

Although, if one has heard that a violation of the law is going to occur, and doesn’t report it, doesn’t that make him an accessory to the crime, if not a co-conspirator?

What a fking douche. Sure, Grassley, they should break the law because YOU DON’T BELIEVE she’s not a criminal all evidence to the contrary.

It sounds like the only person talking about political interference here is Chuck Grassley.

I look forward to the day when President Hillary Clinton has her boot firmly on Chuckie’s neck…

I’m no crim lawyer, but I think he’d really have to have specific knowledge of an actual crime about to be or in the process of being committed. Here, he’s just using his access to the MSM to broadcast a dogwhistle call for more leaks, particularly ones that will help “confirm” that there is political interference “biasing” the investigation in favor of Clinton. He may as well have given instructions, but he didn’t, right?

Not for long now.

Grassley and Sanders supporters sound very similar on the Clinton e-mail thing.

This is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee?

Which Democratic opponent warned OH residents that a “farmer” shouldn’t be in charge of that committee? And lost in no small part because of that very comment?

Guess what…he was right!

Even better if she was wearing golf shoes…

I take his statement is really meant as “I command the FBI to leak Clinton’s endless email investigation. Preferably in October.”

So if the FBI DOESN’T leak information from their Hillary investigation, is it because there’s no there there or because they have more self-control than the GOP?
