Report: State Dept Escalates Investigation Into Clinton Emails

Here we go again.

The State Department is reportedly revving up its investigation into former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails amid President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scandal, the Washington Post reported on Saturday night.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1252264

The investigators told them that the emails they sent dating years back were now considered “classified.”

People who have been eating Top Secret Risotto for the last 7 years have been given a week to turn themselves in to State Dept. authorities.

A stench of desperation this Sunday morning from team Treason (Trump).

This is Pompeo’s Public Fealty Program, proving that he is firmly attached to the Executive Anus. Barr will do something similar, but in the shadowy background because he is sneakier and smarter than Pompeo.

They are obviously trying to get some footing on a ground that is more offensive than defensive.

In the Post, it said that this was also prompted by Charles Grassley, another 90-year-old with impeccable strategic skills. Current State Department employees calling former ones about these emails are apologizing for having to do it. This is what the United States Department of State is currently engaged in. Proud, GOP?

I really wish Clinton would just come forward in a press conference and say
"Really? "
After 3 years you don’t have anything else to do with your time ?
I lost! Get over it!
I stopped being a Boogyman November 9 2016.

He’s not head of the Judiciary Cmte any longer. Golly. What a waste of time. And after her being out of DoS for SIX years ‘now’ they are reclassifying her emails.

I’ve read the statute of limitations has passed on this, even if there were some there there. There’s also the ex post facto aspect of retroactively classifying things. But most of all, most of all, there’s only one person on God’s earth who gives a fuck about the imaginary perfidy of Hillary Rodham Clinton. The desperate and stupid mad king rages and storms, and terrified minions do his idiotic bidding. We don’t expect you to be patriots, you Republicans. But for Christ’s sake you could act like adults and finally do something about this, something rational. A sad picture, it really is.

Though these developments happened to occur right around House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry against Trump, an unnamed State Department official told the Post that the renewed investigation “has nothing to do with who is in the White House.”

“This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3.5 years,” the official said.

  1. it’s weird that Comey and company needed less time to wreck the timeline.

  2. Pompeo’s escape pod is waiting on him.

They’re going to boot him and install Pence for next year’s election. That’s my prediction.

If that’s the strategy, they are missing the mark.

Going after HRC again isn’t going on the offensive; its replaying one hit wonders from years gone by.

HRC isn’t running for office. She isn’t in the House of Representatives or the Senate. She has zero impact on the impeachment proceedings against Trump.

Going after her is transparently petty…and while I get they want to feed the bothersiderism maw, and think that this will give their base a talking point, it really won’t because the impeachment proceedings are moving far too fast for these sort of tactics.

Pence will be damaged goods because they will force him to pardon the orange shitgibbon. I predict Rick Scott will be the 2020 GOP nominee.

They are doing this because even the corrupt prosecutor that Biden and every other Western leader demanded be removed from power in Ukraine told Rudy Colludy that Biden and his son did nothing at all.

I don’t think he’ll pardon him. Oh Lord, I hate Rick Scott. And he looks like Rudy’s younger brother.

Considering that a certain number of Trumpers see ‘fearless leader’ as a moderate, nominee Pence is taking a ‘l’.
