FBI agent who worked on Clinton probe described her as 'extremely careless' instead

of 'grossly negligent' along with a team,who helped change the language, when reporting on the Clinton email probe. Same guy who was fired by Mueller this summer for anti Trump statements. Trump will jump on this.

She is simply not a careless person.

Regardless, there is NO email story, NEVER was.

MADNESS that we even have to hear about it now, let alone then. Not mad at you, poster, but at the situation.

There was no email story, not ever

If she was careless, imagine what the trump people email stuff looks like


So if he is saying this to lessen her exposure, then I retract my statement about him or her.

16. How Do We Know?
Mon Dec 4, 2017, 08:10 PM

How do we know that this man was a Clinton supporter? What proof as anyone put forward that shows he was a Clinton supporter? Did he donate money to her campaign? Did he volunteer for her campaign?

Also, has anyone seen his so called anti-Trump messages? What did he say? Maybe he was just making a truthful statement about Trump. Even if he was actually anti-Trump that does not mean he was pro-Clinton. I do not mean to bash Bernie Sanders supporters, but they were very anti-Trump, but not pro-Clinton. Yes, in the end most Bernie people voted for Hillary Clinton, but the point still remains that just because someone is anti one thing that does not mean they are pro something else.

from beginning to end. Trump can jump on it if he wants. Then he can jump on this🕹 and rotate.

He lied about Uranium One, it's expected he will deflect and try to change the narrative around the Russia investigation since it implicates those high up in his campaign. So him jumping on anything is a given.

Solyndra? Golf? Vacations? Benghaaaaaazi?

Hell, "people on food stamps living it up on steaks and lobster" because a photo of a receipt of stuff bought with one stolen card.

Trump is the party and the party is Trump.

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system

If he disagreed, he had an obligation to correct the language. Clearly, this was the prevailing sentiment at the FBI.
