HILLARY’S HENCHMEN PRESSURED FBI ON CLASSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS
Today the FBI released another 100 pages relating to its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State. Why it has taken so long for the agency to review, redact and publish a very small quantity of documents is inexplicable. Be that as it may, the documents released today are explosive.
You may have seen headlines to the effect that Hillary’s State Department tried to pressure the FBI to say that various documents located on Hillary’s insecure home server were not classified. This was critical, obviously, because one of Hillary’s lines of defense was to claim, falsely, that she never sent or received classified documents on her off-the-books email system.
Those headlines are correct, but to get the full impact you really have to see the relevant portions of the FBI investigation. Here they are; in all cases, click to enlarge. But first, a description.
In the first page, an unidentified FBI employee says he was “pressured” to change the classification of an email to render it unclassified. This pressure came from someone within the FBI, who said he had been contacted by Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy, who “had asked his assistance in altering the email’s classification in exchange for a ‘quid pro quo.'” The quid pro quo was that, if the FBI would say the email was unclassified, the State Department would allow the FBI to “place more Agents in countries where they are presently forbidden.”
Subsequently, the interviewee was summoned to an “all agency” meeting at the State Department to discuss the classification review of the Hillary Clinton emails. This fact itself is astonishing: the meeting was attended by representatives of the State Department, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency “and other government agencies,” including, obviously, the FBI. Patrick Kennedy presided. Someone asked whether any of the Hillary emails that were being reviewed for production were classified. Kennedy replied, “Well, we’ll see.”
Following the all agency meeting, Undersecretary of State Kennedy renewed his effort to pressure the FBI to change its classification of the document in question. The FBI representative wouldn’t budge, so Kennedy asked who else at the agency he could talk to. The interviewee gave the name of Michael Steinbach.
The interviewee then participated in a call with Kennedy and Steinbach, in which Kennedy “continued to pressure the FBI to change the classified markings on the email to unclassified.” Steinbach refused. What happened next is–deserves to be, anyway–a bombshell.
Prior to ending the conversation, KENNEDY asked whether the FBI or STATE would conduct the public statements on the matter. STEINBACH advised KENNEDY that the FBI would not comment publicly on the matter.
That was enough for the astonishingly corrupt Hillary Clinton. This is what happened next:
The conference call ended and, according to [ ], the Associated Press (AP) published the story within the hour. Former Secretary of State Clinton appeared in front of the press shortly thereafter to deny having sent classified emails on her private email server.
Here are the first two pages of the relevant FBI investigation file:
The next page of the FBI investigation report is a summary of an interview with someone at the agency–I assume the Mr. Steinbach already referred to. This person says that he got a phone call from Patrick Kennedy, which surprised him because he and another FBI official “had both been trying to contact KENNEDY for months without response.” What did Kennedy want? He “asked [ ] assistance in changing a classification of FBI information contained in an email.”
Kennedy explained that the classified email “caused problems,” and he wanted to categorize the document as a B9. The reference apparently is to a Freedom of Information Act exemption, but this is not clear. In any event, Kennedy said that such a classification would “allow him to archive the document in the basement of DoS [the State Department] never to be seen again.” Here is that page of the investigation report:
Finally, the last page of this part of the report quotes an FBI employee whose name is redacted, who contacted Patrick Kennedy to talk about the classification issue. Before talking to Kennedy, he learned that “the email of KENNEDY’s concern was classified by the FBI Counterterrorism Division (CTD) and was related to the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.” Having been told this, the FBI interviewee “contacted KENNEDY and informed him that there was no way he could assist KENNEDY with declassifying the information contained in the email.”
We have here a clear pattern of corruption that makes Watergate look like child’s play. Hillary’s aide, Patrick Kennedy, tried to bribe the FBI to change the classification of a Benghazi document so as to enable Hillary’s false claim that she didn’t send or receive classified information on her illegal home server. The FBI, to its credit, refused. (James Comey wasn’t involved at that stage.)
Hillary’s aide then asked whether the FBI would be saying anything publicly about the classification issue. Once assured that the FBI would be silent, Hillary took the stage and alleged publicly, and falsely, that she never used her illegal home server to send or receive classified information. One wonders, too, how many critically important documents have been “archive[d] … in the basement of DoS [the State Department] never to be seen again,” based on bogus FOIA exemptions.

There is a lot of crap that comes out of Cankles mouth. Now this.
Clinton Campaign Bus Caught Dumping Human Waste In Georgia, HAZMAT Team Called In
by Justin Baragona | 5:15 pm, October 18th, 2016
Earlier today, the Democratic National Committee had to apologize for a #ForwardTogether bus dumping human waste into a storm sewer during a stop in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
A local businessman noticed the action and took photos that were then sent to media outlets. CBS-46 reported on it, treating it as a breaking story and providing numerous updates.

Hypocrisy Alert: Hillary Paid Female Staffers Much Less Than Men
Wait a second… isn’t she supposed to be FOR women?
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is built on feminism, or so we’re led to believe. Part of that is ensuring female voters that her presidency will close the so-called gender pay gap. But one look at her previous patterns should give no woman confidence she actually means it.
According to the Wikileaks hack, an e-mail from the account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, shows the pay gap between the highest paid man and woman at the Clinton Foundation was nearly $200,000.
Staffer Karuna Seshasai wrote to Ian Mandel, a Democratic operative according to Breitbart, about the Equal Pay Foundation:
Attached is the equal pay hit pulled from the Foundation book. Essentially here are the key take aways:
3 out of the 11 highest paid employees of the Foundation are women.
Avg salary of the highest paid men is $294,157.50, while the avg salary of the highest paid women is $181,576.66 ($112K difference)
Median salary of the highest paid men is $346,106, while the median salary of the highest paid women is $185,386 ($190K difference)
The Clinton camp was warned about these “huge discrepancies” by Mandel before. In a previous message, Mandel wrote to Clinton research director Tony Carrk and campaign manager Robbie Mook:
Guys – Given the story yesterday about pay equity at the State Department, I wanted to flag something that came out of our research on pay equity at the Foundation. There are huge discrepancies, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they went here next.
As Breitbart notes, the Washington Free Beacon had discovered that female staffers under Sen. Clinton were paid 72 cents for every dollar the men made. This didn’t match up to her political promises then and it doesn’t help her case now on the campaign trail.

And don't forget she is sleeping with Putin, actually going to bear his love child 9 months from now.
"She and Bill recently met, for well over an hour, with A.G. Lynch, "behind closed doors" in a private plane provided by George Soros and parked on the Tarmac of the Lake Tahoe airport. Secret Service Agents were forbidden from entering the room and were specifically ordered by Lynch to guard the locked door and see to it that they were not disturbed. A Secret Service detail, speaking on condition anonymity, told the Enquirer that when the three of them finally emerged over an hour later, Hillary was giddy, and all three had traces of what looked like powdered sugar on their clothes."
