FBI's McCabe Sat on Weiner Laptop's Classified Clinton Emails on Eve of 2016 Election

[PJ] Sources familiar with the upcoming Justice Department inspector general (IG) report on how the FBI handled the investigation into former secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails suggested that former deputy director Andrew McCabe ‐ who was forced to step down Monday ‐ may have delayed the investigation into classified information in emails longtime Clinton adviser Huma Abedin stored on her husband Anthony Weiner's laptop.

Ironically, the FBI's announcement that it was reopening the Clinton investigation a few days before the election ‐ which many Clinton supporters say cost her the election ‐ may have come nearly three weeks later than it should have. McCabe may have intended to hold off until after the election, but ended up being unable to do so.

According to sources, the inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, has been focused on why McCabe, as the second-top official at the FBI, appeared to stall for about three weeks after he was asked to examine a batch of Clinton-related emails found on Weiner's laptop. Anonymous sources close to the matter told The Washington Post that McCabe might have intended to stall on this part of the Clinton investigation until after the election.

This news proves particularly damning, as McCabe's wife ‐ who was running for a seat in the Virginia state house ‐ had received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from one of Clinton's close allies, then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D). Worse, McCabe seems to have changed his mind and acted on the Clinton emails ‐ shortly after The Wall Street Journal reported on these contributions.

I'm amazed that certain segments of the egghead media still want to cling to this bullshit. Hillary! was the most corrupt US politician a) of all time or b) since LBJ (your call), and she was the worst candidate since my little Greek governor from Massachusetts, Mike Dukakis, took his tank shot at it. I'm almost impressed by the creativity of excuses they want to make for this LOSER!
