Status: offline 		Rudy Giuliani Confirms FBI Insiders Leaked Information To The Trump Campaign
“Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it.”

Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he knew the FBI planned to review more emails tied to Hillary Clinton before a public announcement about the investigation last week, confirming that the agency leaked information to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

The former New York City mayor and Trump surrogate has recently dropped a series of hints that he knew in advance that the FBI planned to look at emails potentially connected to Clinton’s private server. The agency discovered the messages while investigating former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) for allegedly sexting with a minor. (Weiner’s estranged wife, Huma Abedin, is a top aide to Clinton.)

Giuliani has bragged about his close ties to the FBI for months, mentioning in interviews that “outraged FBI agents” have told him they’re frustrated by how the Clinton investigation was handled. And two days before FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency was reviewing the newly uncovered emails, Giuliani teased that Trump’s campaign had “a couple of surprises left.”

“You’ll see, and I think it will be enormously effective,” he said in an interview with Fox News.

All of this has led to suspicion that someone in the FBI is leaking information to Giuliani and the Trump campaign. The Daily Beast’s Wayne Barrett explored those suspicions on Thursday, detailing how Giuliani’s ties to the agency date back to his days as a U.S. attorney in the 1980s.

Giuliani confirmed that notion Friday during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

“I did nothing to get it out, I had no role in it,” he said. “Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it, and I can’t even repeat the language that I heard from the former FBI agents.”

Giuliani also said he expected Comey’s announcement to come weeks before it did.

“I had expected this for the last, honestly, to tell you the truth, I thought it was going to be about three or four weeks ago, because way back in July this started, they kept getting stymied looking for subpoenas, looking for records,” he said.

FBI officials knew about the newly discovered emails weeks before Comey’s announcement, according to multiple reports.

Giuliani insisted he had nothing to do with Comey’s decision to announce the probe prior to Election Day ― a move that both Republicans and Democrats have condemned. He also insisted his information comes from “former FBI agents.”

“I’m real careful not to talk to any on-duty, active FBI agents. I don’t want to put them in a compromising position. But I sure have a lot of friends who are retired FBI agents, close, personal friends,” he said. “All I heard were former FBI agents telling me that there’s a revolution going on inside the FBI and it’s now at a boiling point.”

Trump press secretary Hope Hicks did not immediately return a request for comment.

Rudy Giuliani told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum on Oct. 26 that Donald Trump had “a surprise or two that you’re going to hear about in the next two days.”

“I’m talking about some pretty big surprise,” he said.

Two days later, FBI Director James Comey revealed to Congress that his agents had resumed their investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, after agents in an unrelated case discovered emails that could potentially be relevant to the server case.

Now if they'd deleted their emails or had something vaguely to do with benghazi, that would be bad. This? This is just proof that they luuuuurve America the way the circus peanut luuuurves thirteen year olds.

Seeing as there seems to be no interest in the info anyway*I wonder why*
Bret Baier apologises for fucking up.


JON SCOTT (CO-HOST): New developments in an ongoing FBI investigation. Joining us now Bret Baier anchor of Special Report. Bret?

BRET BAIER: Jon, all of us working on this story at Fox have now circled back with our sources, more than six of them now with specific knowledge of the Clinton investigations. They confirm that there is an active investigation into the Clinton Foundation that has been going on for more than a year. It is continuing. For those investigators working it is a priority but we have also reported there is a split not only between the FBI and the Department of Justice on this, but within the FBI. On the hacking of Clinton's private, unsecured server, while multiple sources believe and are operating under the working assumption that the server has been hacked, and some had specific quotes to that belief, there are, to this day no digital fingerprints of such breaches. Here is what FBI Director Comey said about it back in July.

[BEGIN VIDEO]

FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY: With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton's personal email domain in its various configurations since 2009 was hacked successfully. But given the nature of the system, and of the actors potentially involved, we assess we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account.

[END VIDEO]

BAIER: I was quoting from one source about his certainty that the server had been hacked by five foreign intelligence agencies. And while others believe that is probable because of the confirmed hacking of email accounts Secretary Clinton communicated with, as of today there are still no digital fingerprints of a breach no matter what the working assumption is within the bureau. All the time, but especially in heated election on topic this explosive every word matters, no matter how well-sourced. Which brings me to this. I explained a couple of times yesterday the phrasing of one of my answers to Brit Hume on Wednesday night, saying it was inartful, the way I answered the last question about whether the investigations would continue after the election. And I answered that, yes, our sources said it would. They would continue to likely to an indictment. Well, that just wasn't inartful, it was a mistake, and for that I'm sorry. I should have said, they will continue to build their case. Indictment obviously is a very loaded word, Jon, especially in this atmosphere and no one knows if there would or would not be an indictment no matter how strong investigators feel their evidence is. It is obviously a prosecutor who has to agree to take the case and make that case to a grand jury. We stand by the sourcing, on the ongoing active Clinton Foundation investigation and are working to get sources with knowledge of the details on the record, and on camera. Hopefully today. Jon?

SCOTT: But clearly there are some within the FBI who believe that the email system was hacked by foreign operators. It's just not something that the FBI is putting out there as being a certainty?

BAIER: Exactly. They're sticking with what Comey said back in July. But to be clear, you know, when you're quoting someone, you have to be clear that there is this cut and dry determination that you have to have the digital cyber fingerprints to make a complete determination. We should have made that distinction.

if by that you are referring to the leaks/giuliani knowing ahead of time---so what? leaks are common in both politics and criminal investigations.

or if by that you mean brett baier trying to explain his phrasing, there's not really too much noteworthy in it.

it seems whats at hand is that investigators like the evidence they have and believe there is enough for an indictment; however, the likelihood of an indictment occurring is contingent on the upper management so to speak being willing to convene a grand jury, which seems unlikely. the seeming potential lack of will and initiative of the latter does not take away from the quality of evidence and beliefs of the former.

where baier maybe messed up is in believing he's speaking for the latter as well.

As you are so used to pushing "leaks" and bullshit that we are on page 96 of your "evidence"
Im not in the least interested in parsing your spin or attempt to deflect on FACTS that the leaks are hardly facts. just innuendo so far...
The FBI .....malicious little bitches are just as likely.

I find to it be amusing as well as hypocritical that Trump's Troopers whine, bitch, and moan about the fact that Hillary "might" be indicted, yet keep very very quiet about the fact that Trump already has at least two upcoming court cases for racketeering/fraud, and rape.

pretty close to what I said:

quote:

4) Barring DOJ "obstruction," Clinton Foundation-related indictments are "likely," Baier's FBI sources say. This appears to be the most problematic element of the report. Baier himself clarified his wording, acknowledging that the FBI doesn't have the power to make decisions on indictments. Williams' sources emphatically deny that prosecutions are forthcoming. It seems to me that this may have been a case of wish-casting by frustrated FBI agents, projecting or hyping what they believe should happen in the final resolution of this affair.

Status: offline 		Fox News' Bret Baier apologizes for 'mistake' in Clinton Foundation report
By KELSEY SUTTON 11/04/16 01:29 PM EDT
Fox News reporter and anchor Bret Baier, who hosts “Special Report” on the cable channel, apologized Friday for reporting that indictments were “likely” in an ongoing investigation into Clinton Foundation investigation, adding that the reports were a mistake.
“All the time, but especially in a heated election on a topic this explosive, every word matters — no matter how well-sourced,” Baier told Fox News’ Jon Scott in the Friday broadcast of “Happening Now.” "Which brings me to this: I explained a couple of times yesterday the phrasing of one of my answers to [Fox News host] Brit Hume on Wednesday night, saying it was inartful the way I answered [a] question about whether the investigations would continue after the election. And I answered that, yes, our sources said it would, they would continue to likely an indictment. Well that wasn't just inartful. It was a mistake. And for that, I’m sorry.”
Baier apologized for the use of the word “indictment,” but said he and the network stand by their reporting.
“‘Indictment’ is obviously a very loaded word, Jon, especially in this atmosphere, and no one knows if there would or would not be an indictment, no matter how strong investigators feel their evidence is. ... We stand by the sourcing on the ongoing, active investigation into the Clinton Foundation and are working to get sources with knowledge of the details on the record and on camera, hopefully today.”
Baier’s reporting, in which he said that an indictment is ‘likely,’ was refuted by ABC News, NBC News, CNN and other news outlets, although the reporting was picked up and repeated in conservative media. The Clinton campaign called the Fox News reports “baseless.”

This is a presidential election.
They will dig up every dirt on you.
Dumb extreme left news channels like Huff needs to stop pushing blame. It doesn't matter if FBI leak shit, point IS, clinton carelessness with her emails lead her to this situation.
And FBI leaking those stuffs does not impact anything. It's their actions to prosecute her that will weigh bigger importance.

But Hillary cheating and getting questions in advance from the media? In her debates with Bernie? Now THAT is unacceptable and low. And was wrong to Bernie.

Except on Faux Noize today Baier walked it back to zero, not at all likely, as in who the fuck know, and Guiliani admitted he dont know shit except what he reads in the paper about any of this.

So, nutsucker circle felching

I get that Comey's letter was terrible and people are terrified enough of a President Trump to want to blow the fallout from it back onto him, but a lot of the stories coming out really reek of desperation. Political insiders always know before other people do... it's nothing new and it doesn't imply some sinister scandal is afoot. It doesn't disprove it either, but all in due time.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't even think Hillary being arrested for murder would be enough to convince me that Trump would be a better president.
The man is a moron who doesn't understand politics and shouldn't be in this race at all.
