Related: About this forumFBI Complaint Filed Against Rudy Giuliani for Knowledge of Russian Hacks
Janet Shan on November 4, 2016
The complaint was filed by the Democratic Coalition Against Trump on Friday.
DCAT said in a news release, In July, Giuliani said that Russia has the 33,000 emails deleted from Clintons private email server, going on to say that he does cybersecurity for a living so its a subject he knows according to a Politico article. Giuliani then stated, The Russians have those emails, theyve had them for some time.
Rudy Giuliani stated that he knew the Russians had hacked into and stole property that belonged to Secretary Clinton, it doesnt get much more clear-cut than that, said Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the Coalition.
Its not surprising that someone so close to Trumps campaign would have knowledge of the attacks perpetrated at the hand of a foreign government.

(81,198 posts)from the inside out. Total house-cleaning. And if Comey won't do it, Loretta Lynch should.
That said, though, I won't hold my breath.

(167 posts)that he's only talked to retired agents. I'm sure those agents know any agents who are now employed in that office.
Rudy thinks he is just too cute.

(15,262 posts)It is also illegal for past agents to release info they aren't supposed to know either, but they can't be fired any longer. This is all a bunch of cover our asses bullshit now.
lark
(23,090 posts)The cabal that gave the news about the emails to Rudy before they supposedly even told Comey will just laugh and bury this. They are out of control and need to be summarily suspended without pay pending a Hatch Act indictment.

Notice how contrite and subdued he was in his interview with Blitzer yesterday? He KNOWS he's in deep trouble, criminal trouble.
calimary
(81,198 posts)He's now proven that he's allowed the FBI to get politicized, and he evidently has no control over rogue agents in that "cell" within the New York field office. So what kind of "manager" does that make him? Besides, he's not only brought questions down upon the agency he's supposed to lead, but also himself, for partisanship, politicizing, and incompetence.

(15,237 posts)It may even give himself something to talk about other than 911. Who knows he may even get a Government issue uniform? Someone is headed for a fall.

..... The DNC sent a report with the technical details to the FBI, according to the DNC officials. "We believe it's been given by the bureau to another agency with three letters to examine," the DNC official says. "We're not supposed to talk about it."
A Democratic consultant who has done work for the DNC, who asked not to be identified, says he was recently informed about the suspected bugging.
The DNC officials will not say what countermeasures were subsequently taken. "As a general policy, we don't talk about such efforts," the other DNC official says. But this official adds, "You have to take all of this incredibly seriously." The first DNC official notes, "We are the oldest political party in this country, and we are under constant attack from Russia and/or maybe others."
Adam Hodge, a spokesman for the DNC, says, "The DNC is not going to comment on stories about its security. In all security matters, we cooperate fully with the appropriate law enforcement agencies and take all necessary steps to protect the committee and the safety and security of our staff." ...........

no reporter who knows an individual city as well as Wayne Barrett knows New York. Years ago, when he was writing for The Village Voice and I was starting out at The Boston Phoenix, Barrett was one of the people I read to learn the difference between the alternative press and everything else. He is steeped in the political history of modern New York, particularly the history of the last quarter of the 20th Century and the various ambulatory relics who are still wandering through our politics here in the first quarter of the 21st.
On Thursday, in The Daily Beast, Barrett came as close as anyone has in explaining the Byzantine internal politics of the FBI as regards the presidential campaign. It involves Rudy Giuliani, his pals in the FBI from his days as a U.S. Attorney, and his current role as security jefe for El Caudillo del Mar-A-Lago. ...........

Trump, Giuliani, FBI et al ARE fascists. But be of good cheer, fight them because they're GODDAMNED MORON FASCISTS!
.@RepCummings on @amjoyshow: What we're trying 2 figure out is who Rudy Giuliani talked to at the FBI.
Please join my team tomorrow! Melania will be speaking on Illegal Immigration. Christie on Law & Order, & Giuliani on mental health. #MAGA
So the @FBI is leaking info to Rudy Giuliani and Russia is leaking emails to @Wikileaks, but Hillary is rigging the election against Trump.
"We've got a couple things up our sleeve to turn this around." Rudy Giuliani maybe copping to FBI violation of the Hatch Act two days later?
