Breaking! Leaked FBI Documents Shows Hillary Clinton Used ‘Shadow Government’ To Skip Criminal Charges

The FBI’s latest release of interview notes from their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server reveals that high-ranking state officials obtained help from the ‘shadow government’ in order to stop Hillary from being prosecuted.

Clinton went through a group known as “the Shadow Government” to suppress the investigation into her use of a private email server when Secretary of State.

The 100-page FBI release includes other claims that Clinton disregarded protocol due to the protection offered to her by high-ranking shadowy figures in the government.

“There was a powerful group of very high-ranking STATE officials that some referred to as ‘The 7th Floor Group’ or ‘The Shadow Government.’ This group met every Wednesday afternoon to discuss the FOIA process, Congressional records, and everything CLINTON-related to FOIA/Congressional inquiries,” the FBI’s interview summary said.

That group, according to the interview summary, argued for a Clinton document release to be conducted all at once “for coordination purposes” instead of on a rolling basis as would normally be the case. But the “Shadow Government” did not get its way, and the agency in charge decided for a rolling release, the FBI summary said.

Another claim from the documents is that one unnamed interviewee said that Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy pressured the FBI to unclassify certain emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server that were previously deemed classified.

The interviewee said Kennedy contacted the FBI to ask for the change in classification in “exchange for a ‘quid pro quo.’”

A representative for the State Department categorically denied that claim.

“This allegation is inaccurate and does not align with the facts. To be clear: the State Department did upgrade the document at the request of the FBI when we released it back in May 2015,” State Department Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner said.

“Under Secretary Kennedy sought to understand the FBI’s process for withholding certain information from public release,” Toner added. “As has been reported, there have been discussions within the interagency on issues of classification. Classification is an art, not a science, and individuals with classification authority sometimes have different views. There can be applicable FOIA exemptions that are based on both classified and unclassified rules.”

For its part, the FBI also denied such a “quid pro quo,” offering NBC News the following statement:

“Prior to the initiation of the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s personal email server, the FBI was asked to review and make classification determinations on FBI emails and information which were being produced by the State Department pursuant to FOIA. The FBI determined that one such email was classified at the Secret level. A senior State Department official requested the FBI re-review that email to determine whether it was in fact classified or whether it might be protected from release under a different FOIA exemption. A now-retired FBI official, who was not part of the subsequent Clinton investigation, told the State Department official that they would look into the matter. Having been previously unsuccessful in attempts to speak with the senior State official, during the same conversation, the FBI official asked the State Department official if they would address a pending, unaddressed FBI request for space for additional FBI employees assigned abroad. Following the call, the FBI official consulted with a senior FBI executive responsible for determining the classification of the material and determined the email was in fact appropriately classified at the Secret level. The FBI official subsequently told the senior State official that the email was appropriately classified at the Secret level and that the FBI would not change the classification of the email. The classification of the email was not changed, and it remains classified today. Although there was never a quid pro quo, these allegations were nonetheless referred to the appropriate officials for review.”

Separately, one claim from the FBI documents that was receiving attention online was that one interview said there was a “stark difference” between Clinton’s “obedience to security and diplomatic protocols” and that of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Clinton, the interviewee said, “blatantly” disregarded such protocols, including her frequent refusal to attend foreign diplomatic functions with the local ambassador.

“This frequently resulted in complaints by ambassadors who were insulted and embarrassed by this breach of protocol,” the interview summary said, adding that the subject claimed that “Clinton’s protocol breaches were well known throughout Diplomatic Security and were ‘abundant.’”

I know quite a few Marines that would fuck your shit up if you said this to thier faces.

Help could have been there in an hour and the mudslimes would have scattered like roaches.

Instead, I personally believe that the hildebeast wanted someone in that embassy dead that's why no help ever arrived other than the soldiers who broke rank and fought to save the lives they could against "stand down" and "retreat" orders.

You're a fucking piece of shit for saying what you said in that way.

Yeah, I know mods are gonna read this and to the ones that do, you tell me if you believe it is fine to ignore/dismiss folks who were killed because of the direct incompetence of the hildebeast.

Then tell me if it's fine to disrespect the people who make it possible to keep those fucking murderous sub-human maggots away from our homes and our way of life.

Marines aren't known for being the most mentally competent. Turns out critical thought doesn't make you likely to go where you're told and shoot who they tell you to shoot.

So my buddy was a corpsman in the Navy, working on a aircraft carrier that was in essence a bus for Marines to and fro. He said after 7 or so years the most common thing he treated was cut fingers from marines playing the knife stab game. There are smart ones, and a whole lot of dumb ones as well.

My friend wants to go into the marines as a medic before going to medical school. I think he's out of luck though, since he will have a bachelors and masters degree in chemistry so they won't let him anywhere near combat.

Ya tell him to just go to medical school, my friend saw some combat after the aircraft carrier and he's now broken. Incapable of holding down a job, living on his own, or peacefully living with others. He spends most of his time now making cosplay outfits for cons he wont attend and pretending to be asleep with his cat on his chest while his arm takes the photo.
