It turns out that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe sat on revelations that new Hillary Clinton emails were found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop before the 2016 election.
WSJ:
Top FBI officials were aware for at least a month before alerting Congress that emails potentially related to an investigation of Hillary Clinton had emerged during a key stretch of the 2016 presidential campaign, according to text messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe had learned about the thousands of emails by Sept. 28, 2016, and Director James Comey informed Congress about them on Oct. 28, 11 days before the presidential election, the messages show. Mr. Comey later said nothing in the new emails had changed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s decision that Mrs. Clinton had committed no prosecutable offenses.
That lag is one focus of an investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general, or in-house watchdog, into a variety of FBI actions in advance of the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. McCabe stepped down this week, and FBI Director Christopher Wray in a note to bureau employees announcing Mr. McCabe’s departure also said he wouldn’t comment on the inspector-general probe. The Washington Post first reported the inspector general’s interest in the time lag.
We must remember that McCabe’s wife received money from the Clintons to fund a run for political office. I would say that this was a factor in McCabe deciding to sit on this revelation for as long as he did.
This is just more evidence showing that the highest levels of the FBI were corrupted. The entire investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails needs to be redone. They did everything they could to let her off the hook.
