FBI NOW RELEASING DOCUMENTS ABOUT BILL CLINTON AND MARC RICH
BY MATTHEW COOPER AND NINA BURLEIGH ON 11/1/16 AT 3:48 PM

Flash plugin failed to load


With the election just a week away, the FBI has released a tranche of 15-year-old documents dealing with Bill Clinton’s pardon of a fugitive financier—a move that the bureau made without explanation and that only adds to the confusion surrounding its controversial role in the presidential contest.

While they offer some tantalizing tidbits, the documents are heavily redacted and they don’t seem to offer any substantial new information about the criminal inquiry launched by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York after Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, who was living overseas to escape charges related to exporting goods to Iran (which even now remains under a U.S. embargo to some extent). His wife, Denise Rich, a singer-songwriter, was a major donor to the Clintons.

The timing of the document dump—just seven days before the election—is giving fodder to critics of FBI Director James Comey. While the Clinton campaign has not released a formal statement about these documents from the winter of 2001, Brian Fallon, a Clinton spokesman tweeted: "Absent a FOIA litigation deadline, this is odd. Will FBI be posting docs on Trump's housing discrimination in '70s?”

19. Hacked?

Either the FBI has been hacked or there is a Hanssen-type mole in the agency, or we are witnessing a coup attempt unfold before our very eyes.

[Foggyhill]

2. Wow, just wow the Fred trump thing seals it

I am enraged now he president needs to intervene now
This is beyond dangerous

[Madam45for2923]

3. Look at this twitter for FBIRecordsVault - Silent for a whole year till TODAY!

https://twitter.com/FBIRecordsVault

and then releasing Clintons info/files!

[onetexan]

8. me 2

I've been wondering why the POTUS and the DOJ (Comey's boss Loretta Lynch) won't remove Comey ASAP. He's become a loose cannon and a danger to the country - right under their noses while they do nothing!!

[Lord Magus]

21. Forget firing, the President needs to have him indicted for treason. -nt-

[Lucinda]

4. I've been following him on twitter for a few weeks now

He's doing great work!

[Farmgirl1961]

5. This has got to be illegal.

I sure hope to god someone in authority intervenes!

[senseandsensibility]

6. Don't worry...CNN has a banner saying

that there is no criminal collusion between grumpy and Russia. Wolfie brought on a very nice republican supporter to assure everyone that grumpy understands that putin is a very mean, bad man. No worries.

[Coyotl]

7. He's acting like a 2020 candidate.

[triron]

9. Where is Loretta Lynch???

[ebbie15644]

10. That's what I'm wondering.

[liberal N proud]

11. I don't think he is acting. He is definitely trying.

[TrekLuver]

18. That's exactly what I retweeted...except not as nicely.

[NeverDump]

12. Check Rick Wilson's twitter

@TheRickWilson: Also...

What happened on the night of Friday, November 3rd, 2000?

@TheRickWilson: The key point of asking that question is to point out that it's Tuesday, yo.



I checked Google. November 3, 2000 was when WaPo broke the story about GWB's pleading guilty to DWI

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/aponline/20001103/aponline112738_000.htm

[tableturner]

13. After FBI story broke, Wilson tweeted this coming weekend will be wild, and later mentioned Friday.

So this particular tweet is the third by him (and there may be more) implying Friday will be bombshell day. Hopefully......

[enough]

14. Attempted coup is what it is. (nt)

not tweeting anything for a year and then they tweet out some Pro Trump Daddy BULLSHIT that is a lie....and then this Clinton bullshit that nobody gives a rats rump about. There is something serious going on here....the FBI releases some wretched rationalization about why this happened. Well why did this happen...why is this twitter account dormant and then goes active all of sudden right before the election with pro trump documents released and anti Clinton ones after that. I am really really annoyed and pissed about this. I need to call my Representatives tomorrow about this...we all should. If anyone has petitions etc...that they know about post them....any emails....let me know I will write and call whoever about this....gets me sick. RETWEET @PEP488

20. " Comey is “acting like he’s trying 2 throw the election...” GEE do ya THINK??!
