2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe FBI is Trumplandia, Giuliani is at the nexus of the leaks
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/03/fbi-leaks-hillary-clinton-james-comey-donald-trumpThe currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel, and that the reason why theyre leaking is theyre pro-Trump.
The agent called the bureau Trumplandia, with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the partys national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected.
The Daily Beast reported on Thursday on ties between Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, and the FBIs New York field office, which reportedly pressed the FBI to revisit the Clinton server investigation after beginning an inquiry into Weiners alleged sexual texting with a minor. The website reported that a former New York field office chief, highly critical of the non-indictment, runs a military charity that has received significant financial donations from Trump.

planning to rob a bank, not after finding out how corrupt they are, and have been for at least the last 8 years.

Regarding the Weiner laptop. I'm telling you, those agents fear being fired and will try to plant evidence on HRC. This whole sketchy as fuck email garbage has gone on too long. Emails are easy to fake at the lev the FBI operates at.

safety. I doubt he would be alive today if that were the case.
