Obama ‘Still Running the FBI,’ Says Lawyer After Agency Blocks Access to Clinton Records

FBI officials are claiming a lack of public interest justifies their decision to keep Hilary Clinton’s very controversial archived records from being released to the public.

“We have determined you have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public’s interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject,” says the August 28 letter from David Hardy, the FBI’s record manager.

“I’m just stunned. This is exactly what I would have expected had Mrs. Clinton won the election,” Clevenger told the Washington Times. “It looks like the [Barack] Obama Administration is still running the FBI,” Clevenger added.

National Security isn't sufficient "public interest"? WTF?

Yet the FB determined there was sufficient public interest to execute a 6 am no knock raid on Paul Manafort's house, a guy who was cooperating fully with the authorities.

Sounds like it is time to clean house, there, too.

Yes, it looks like Obama's grimy little fingers are still in way too many pies.

Can't we just have a blanket firing of all former Obama appointees for cause?  Cause they are Obama-ites.

I would think Obama's FBI appointees being more political beasts than law and order enthusiasts would be cause enough.

Nonfeasance is cause for termination.

The entirety of all the Alphabets and every agency would need to be totally and completely expunged.  You would have to cut the entire federal Beast out from the inside - and that's not gonna happen.

The cancer is in the bones and brain as well as in every vital organ.  The corruption is terminal - there is no possible way to get rid of it without killing the country wholesale. Likewise, the corruption is going to kill what is left of the Republic anyway, by design - even if nothing is done to arrest it.

We waited too long to even acknowledge the disease existed.

Cleaning house would require that we start over.  The Beast will never allow that to take place and more than half the population WANTS where we have arrived.

Yes it does and the question is why is that being allowed?  THIS alone is greatly souring me on the current administration!

Right now the whole of DC seems to be falling into a complete morass of full stop stagnation, with the parasites simply trying to get back to sucking the carcass dry post haste.

Which Obama appointees to the FBI are still in place at the FBI?

Well, one name in this article is Andrew McCabe. He was appointed to his current position by James Comey, who was appointed to his position by Obama. I'm sure there are others.

As far as I know the only Trump appointed person at the FBI is the very new director.  His first order of business should have been to get rid of  McCabe and all of his flunkies.  Why that hasn't happened is a complete mystery to me!

[Free Vulcan]

It's starting to look like that in the FBI and other govt bureacracies that getting rid of Obama appointees has stalled if not reversed.

How about if we fire ten people?

What part about cancer do you not comprehend?

Do you think putting a band-aid on a malignancy is going to fix it?

We really should question how accurate since this story is being from Breibart..

[Concerned]

Well, one name in this article is Andrew McCabe. He was appointed to his current position by James Comey, who was appointed to his position by Obama. I'm sure there are others.

So the theory here is that Obama is "still running the FBI" through some number of Comey appointees even though a Trump appointee has been running the agency for almost a month? Thanks for clarifying that.

The quote from the FBI letter to the lawyer has been sourced in many other places.

I think the answer from the FBI is ridiculous.  I'm sure that Hillz herself indicates in many places in her laughable book how the public's interest was great enough to cost her the election.  That sounds like a compelling reason to release, to me, but IANAL.

I think the leakage from the administration is an indicator of political polarity in the ranks, and quite possibly, an administration full of moles.
That whole 'Why hasn't Hillary been prosecuted, yet?' thing has made for a Rich environment for conspiracy theories.

There is unquestionably something very rotten going on here. I have no way of knowing what exactly.

Precisely, on both counts. Which leaves much open to speculation.
