Did Obama’s DOJ Collude to Protect Hillary?
In newly released transcripts, FBI witnesses assert that Obama’s Department of Justice deliberately refused to prosecute any crime against Hillary Clinton. The Washington Examiner reports:

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page testified last year that officials in the bureau, including then-FBI Director James Comey, discussed Espionage Act charges against Hillary Clinton, citing “gross negligence,” but the Justice Department shut them down.

Newly released transcripts from Page’s private testimony in front of a joint task force of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees in July 2018 sheds new light on the internal discussions about an investigation into Clinton’s emails. This goes back to the FBI’s “Midyear Exam” investigation, which looked into whether Clinton committed crimes when she sent and received classified information on her unauthorized private email server while serving as secretary of state.


Comey cleared Clinton of all charges in a press conference on July 5, 2016.

Page told the committee that the FBI “did not blow over gross negligence.” Responding to a question from Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, Page testified the FBI, including Comey, believed Clinton may have committed gross negligence. “We, in fact — and, in fact, the Director — because, on its face, it did seem like, well, maybe there’s a potential here for this to be the charge. And we had multiple conversations, multiple conversations with the Justice Department about charging gross negligence,” she said.

Beyond instigating the Russian collusion falsehood, Obama’s DOJ is now implicated in deliberate corruption to protect one of their own. Will justice be served?

Tantalizing thread. But you may have gone too far when you said: "Beyond instigating the Russian collusion falsehood." That is yet to be seen if it is indeed false.

Former FBI general counsel James Baker, wanted to prosecute Clinton for her email crimes.

Baker said that he held that position until the very end of the investigation and was dissuaded by Comey.

And if its indeed Russian collusion falsehood,are you prepared to admit you were wrong???

When Trump took office and appointed Christopher Wray as director of the FBI and Jeff Sessions head of the Justice Department and the FBI and Justice Department open the Clinton investigation and both said no basis to indict Clinton. How many times do we have to hear this stuff on Clinton. She has been investigated by just about every federal agency the House and Senate that was under republican control. And it’s all the same no basis to indict.

He dropped his garbage in every agency and made those agencies, who were expected to uphold the constitution, uphold law and order, protect law abiding citizen’s and prosecute those criminals who betrayed our trust, a disgrace. In the eyes of all American’s, he degraded the reputation of the agencies causing them to“stink to the high heavens!” WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

Just so you know when the investigators have decided that they will not charge someone before they have even interviewed them (this is well documented) the so called investigation is a sham.

One problem: there is no law against gross negligence!

Not a chance

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

Not a chance?

Then why did the FBI'S own General Council recommend charging Hillary Clinton with an actual crime?

The answer is...The DOJ ordered the FBI to stand down.

If by chance you have a TV or modern communication devise, that very story is in the current news.

The t***h is hard for some to accept, try it and the t***h can set you free.

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

If you leave your kid or dog in a vehicle on a hot summer day and either one dies.

You have committed gross negligence.

It is a law that defines not taking reasonable care and precautions to avoid something, like Hillary's irresponsibility with her email activities.

It is actually Treason, what Clinton did.

Baker had no official status, he was just a repug h**er of Clinton.

Is there any meat in this nothing burger?

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

On May 14 2018 James Baker retired from his General Council position at the FBI.

He then joined the Brookings Institution.

Moldy, where in the world of f**e news did you get that Baker held no position with the FBI during the Clinton email phony investigation???

Comey was sending memos to Baker.

All of those appointments were made on poisoned advice given to Trump to facilitate his own demise. Wussy Wray, Loretta Sessions, and now Benedict Arnold Barr, all conspirators in the c**p.
Ain't but three patriots in Washington DC other than Trump and his family.
All the rest are complicit cowards.
