7 ways the FBI contradicted Clinton’s email claims









JOHN SCHINDLER: J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI Wouldn’t Have Punted Emailgate. “Although Comey stated that security violations of the sort perpetrated by Secretary Clinton were something ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would take to court, his own FBI prosecuted a Navy reservist just last year for less serious infractions. . . . All the same, no matter what the Kremlin may or may not do, the real loser in EmailGate is the FBI, whose professional reputation has been indelibly tarnished by its handling of this sordid affair. This is no small matter for our country. The FBI is not only the world’s most famous law enforcement agency, it’s also America’s secret police force—with all the power that implies. Malfeasance by the FBI, its bending to political winds, is a matter that should concern all Americans, regardless of their politics. . . . The long-dead Hoover has been a hate figure for so many Americans for so many decades that it’s difficult to remember what he got right. But what he got right was important, and it’s also what’s altogether lacking in today’s FBI.”
