FBI botched investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, declassified documents allege

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley issued declassified documents related to the FBI's assessment into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server when she served in the federal leadership revealing the FBI reportedly failed to fully investigate the matter This document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI s assessment of former Secretary Clinton s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information Grassley explained in a Monday press release Under Comey s leadership the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor he continued The Comey FBI s negligent approach and perhaps intentional lack of effort in the Clinton study is a stark contrast to its full-throated analysis of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax which was based on the uncorroborated and now discredited Steele dossier Comey s decision-making process smacks of political infection Clinton who served as former President Barack Obama's secretary of state from to was investigated by the FBI over maintains she improperly stored or transmitted classified materials on a private email server The FBI advised the Department of Justice in ahead of that year's massive electoral contest that pitted Clinton against future President Donald Trump that Clinton should not face prosecution over the matter OBAMA AGENTS ADMITTED THEY HAD NO 'EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE' OF TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION HOUSE INTEL TRANSCRIPTS Although there is evidence of expected violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a event then-FBI director James Comey declared in a press release Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges There are obvious considerations like the strength of the evidence especially regarding intent Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person s actions and how similar situations have been handled in the past OBAMA FUNCTIONARIES USED DOSSIER TO PROBE BRIEF TRUMP DESPITE KNOWING IT WAS UNVERIFIED 'INTERNET RUMOR'Grassley specifically issued declassified materials from the Clinton annex which is an appendix to the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General s document that reviewed the DOJ and FBI s handling of the Clinton assessment Attorney General Pam Bondi and other Trump administration leaders at other agencies declassified the materials and delivered them to Grassley at his request his press release disclosed The documents claim that then-FBI Director Comey as well as other FBI leaders obtained thumb drives related to their review into Clinton but that the agency failed to perform additional targeted searches of the drives according to Grassley's office FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN JAMES COMEY DOJ SOURCESThe thumb drives reportedly were never reviewed during the probe but contained highly sensitive information exfiltrated from U S authorities agencies including the Department of State as well as then-President Barack Obama s emails and potentially congressional information The FBI also obtained intelligence that alleged communications between Florida Democrat Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz who served as Democratic National Committee chair until July when she resigned and individuals who worked for the Soros Open Society Foundations which was founded by left-wing billionaire donor George Soros GRASSLEY EXPOSES FBI USE OF BIASED SOURCES IN ANTI-TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC MEMOS UNDER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION The intelligence reports alleged that the Obama administration took efforts to scuttle the inspection into Clinton and protect her candidacy Grassley's release informed but that the FBI at the time did not make serious investigative efforts into the intelligence reports Fox News Digital reached out to Clinton's office Wasserman Schultz's office the Soros Open Society Foundations and the Kettering Foundation where Comey presently works as a senior fellow for comment on Grassley's release but did not right now receive replies I warned years ago that the Clinton analysis failed to hit the mark and I m grateful the American people can absolutely see the facts for themselves Grassley declared in the press release After nearly a decade in the shadows this information is now coming to light thanks to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel s dedicated efforts to fulfill my congressional request I appreciate their ongoing commitment to transparency and strongly urge them to continue to fully review this matter including its national safety impact he declared Grassley's release follows Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell declares that Obama-era agents reportedly manufactured and politicized intelligence to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the presidential voting Gabbard issued unclassified documents Friday that reportedly show overwhelming evidence that then-President Obama and his national shield company laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump-Russia collusion probe after Trump's voting win against Clinton in Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people Gabbard had posted to X on Friday regarding the criminal referral No matter how powerful every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral Fox News established earlier Monday that the DOJ received Gabbard's criminal referral related to the matter but did not share additional comment
