Hillarys Email Scandal Takes Down the FBI

By Ben Shapiro For months Americans wondered whether the FBI led by Director James Comey would take down the most corrupt woman in the history of American politics Hillary Clinton. As it turns out Hillary Clinton took down the FBI. According to new documents from the FBIs investigation of Clinton the agency was fully aware that Clinton lied when she said she set up a private server in order to utilize one Blackberry device -- she used 13 mobile devices and two phone numbers. The FBI knew that Clintons aides destroyed old Blackberrys by cracking them in half or hitting them with a hammer. The FBI knew full well that Clinton had passed classified information over her private server -- she admitted that she didnt even know how classified information worked instead stating that she thought the C appearing at the top of documents probably had something to do with alphabetizing files. The FBI recognized that Clinton wiped her server after a New York Times article revealed her private sever and email use; that she brought her Blackberry into a secure State Department area; that she never turned over nearly 18000 work-related emails; that she discussed an undercover asset on the server and put his family in danger; and that she refused to take Blackberrys from the State Department out of fear they could be discoverable under Freedom of Information Act requests. Thats not all. The FBI also allowed Clinton aide Cheryl Mills to act as Clintons lawyer during her FBI hearing even though Mills was a material witness. In doing so the agency granted Mills legal privilege where none existed. And the FBI didnt bother asking Clinton whether she intended to hide information. Officials gave her the benefit of the doubt every single step of the way. And then the FBI recommended to the Department of Justice that she not be indicted. The fix was in. The press seems sanguine about the possibility of Clinton in the White House. Thats bizarre given her corruption. Its even more bizarre when you consider that she has now undermined Americans trust in the chief domestic intelligence agency in the country making it a laughingstock and a political Hackey Sack. Director Comey entered this investigation well-liked and well-respected across the political aisle. He will exit having destroyed his reputation for honesty on the shoals of Clintons lies. There is no excuse for Clinton escaping charges. Not one. The FBIs own documents prove that she took action that you would only take if you were attempting to obstruct justice destroy evidence and lie to law enforcement. And yet the FBI as a wing of the Obama White House went out of its way to ensure that the Democratic presidential candidate would evade prosecution. That means it lacks basic legitimacy. Its not the only agency the Obama administration has exposed as a political hammer. It has corrupted the Internal Revenue Service the Department of Justice the Environmental Protection Agency the State Department and the Department of Health and Human Services. The list is nearly endless. No wonder so many Americans seem willing to turn to a man who promises to burn the entire structure down Donald Trump. Theres little worth saving here unless youre a Democrat hoping to uphold the integrity of institutions dedicated to preserving scandal-ridden Democrats.
