The FBI has decided it won't turn over documents related to Hillary Clinton's email scandal to investigators because – according to the Bureau – nobody's interested any more.
Republicans and other conservatives were incensed when then-FBI director James Comey laid out the case against Mrs. Clinton in congressional testimony:
Comey: "110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received."
Then he dismissed the whole scandal in a single sentence:
Comey: "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
Clinton went on to lose the election, but several legal groups still wanted to get to the bottom of the email scandal and submitted FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests. Earlier this week, in what Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch says is a "Comey-esque cover-up," David Hardy of the FBI's Records Management team arbitrarily decided no one was interested in that old scandal anymore.
It hasn't been shown that "the public's interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject," Hardy stated in a letter on Monday.
"It's completely arbitrary, in my view," says the Judicial Watch president, "and the Justice Department and the FBI are going out of their way to protect Hillary Clinton."
To be clear, that's the Trump Justice Department and FBI Fitton is referring to. "In this case, you had lawyers for the Trump administration come in and say the public interest doesn't outweigh the privacy interests of Hillary Clinton, who has virtually zero privacy interests, given the public nature of her activities," he explains. https://www.onenewsnow.com/legal-courts/2017/08/31/deep-state-rescues-hillary-again
