Smoking Gun?: Hillary Right-Hand Man Patrick Kennedy Pressured FBI Agent to Reduce the Classification of Several of the Emails Found on Her System; He and FBI Agent Discussed "Quid Pro Quo" for the Favor

Update: Via Ed Morrissey, I see Fox has now reported this story in a form that might be easier to follow than reading the twitter-quoted leaked emails below.


Here's that Fox story.

"This is a flashing red light of potential criminality," Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, who has been briefed on the FBI interviews, told Fox News.

He said "there was an alleged quid pro quo” involving Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy and the FBI “over at least one classified email.”

“In return for altering the classification, the possibility of additional slots for the FBI at missions overseas was discussed,” Chaffetz said.

As Fox News previously reported, interviews released earlier this month, known as 302s, reveal the serious allegation that Kennedy applied pressure to subordinates to change classified email codes so they would be shielded from Congress and the public. Fox News was told as far back as August 2015 that Kennedy was running interference on Capitol Hill. But Kennedy, in his FBI interview on Dec. 21, 2015, “categorically rejected” allegations of classified code tampering.

Excerpts of the actual documents below.





According to this, it was an FBI agent who suggested the quid pro quo:


The FBI denies there was any quid pro quo.

10 Going to keep re-posting this in the hope that a moron here knows someone who knows someone that can speak to Trump.

Trump's closing statement at last debate;

I know that many of you do not like Hillary
There are even some of you who don't like me
(wait for laughter)
So now I am going to do what is best for America.
I, Donald J. Trump do hereby tender my resignation to the office of the Presidency of the United States.
This resignation is effective immediately upon the confirmation of Justice Ginsburg's successor.
Thank you, good night and God bless America!

- Trump wins debate (there is no other story)
- Hillary is on defense (yeah, but what about that week he is President?)
- Trump wins election
- Enormous pressure on that dingbat RBG to resign.
- Enormous pressure on Senate to approve not only Ginsberg's conservative successor, but Scalia's as well (SCOTUS is my main concern)
- Pence becomes President for six months to ten years.

32 I think his proposed quid pro quo is even more scandalous: State Department is offering to "allow" more FBI agents working anti-terror beats into embassies abroad. "Do something illegal for me and I'll 'let' you do your job protecting America".

65 There is no dispute that materials on Clinton's server were classified. Some were at a low level of classification, some of them were at a very high level of classification.

Look at the lengths that the State Department is going through to try to get the FBI to declare that these e-mails are not classified. Despite the fact that information is "born" classified. And, despite the fact that information is classified based on the decision of the originating agency. That means that those SIGINT spy satellite photos that came from the NSA (IIRC) were TOP SECRET/SCI irrespective of what the State department thought.

And -- irrespective of whatever the FBI thinks, right?

There is absolutely no concern over the safety of the information. State Department isn't going "Oh shit -- classified information was exposed, what can we do to help?" The FBI doesn't seem to be doing that either. What seems to be happening is an ex post facto review of information to determine whether, in retrospect, some of this information was born classified and whether it can be characterized as being NOT classified.

The investigation by the State Department began on a faulty premise.

And -- if the FBI was involved in a quid pro quo exchange/offer regarding whether to call something classified, JUST WHO IN THE FUCKING COUNTRY CARES ABOUT THE INFORMATIONAL SECURITY OF THE INFORMATION?

Don't mean to lose it, but people may have died due to Hillary's illegal conduct. No-one seems to give a shit.

77 "Remarkably scandal-free"


Wrong about the Nixon comparison.


The articles of impeachment drawn up back then would hardly be a footnote to what has happened the last eight years.


Back then, a clownish inept FBI Director was caught clownishly trying to cover up some of Nixon's tracks. Today, an FBI Director just openly dares the country and the Congress to call him on his open, ridiculous contention that the law doesn't say what it says. Back then, the guy was humiliated and driven from office. Today .....


But Trump is icky.


I mean, people with really low practical political IQs think he's racist, and stuff.

98 "There is no dispute that materials on Clinton's server were classified."

What's never been explained is how classified documents got on Hillary's secret server in the first place. Word is that this couldn't have happened without human intervention to cross the Air Gap from secure to unsecure. This likely involved some combination of Huma, Cheryl and Jake, which could have been readily proven from access time stamps.

If so, it'd be easy to prove and charge what were separate, serious crimes.

120 We pass a "Freedom of Information Act" to provide accountability in government, and pass other laws prohibiting the deletion or destruction of any government emails or other communications. The Administration pinky-swears they will be the "most transparent Administration evah."

Then the immediately:
- set up secret private servers
- use pseudonyms
- invoke Executive Privilege with unprecedented frequency
- invoke Attorney.Client Privilege with unprecedented frequency
- wipe servers with weapons-grade deletion software
- destroy cellular phones with hammers
- bully and threaten witnesses
- target the guy who exposed them and wonder if he could be droned; and
- bring us to the brink of nuclear war with Russia rather than face the music.

All to get around all those acts, laws, and promises. And now that all of this is being exposed to the light of day, their proposed solution: to not engage in illegal activity? To obey the law? To keep trust with the citizenry? No, their proposed solution is to not use email, go back to using dumbphones, and to do all their communicating privately and face-to-face.

Damn. I'm beginning to think there's some kind of conspiracy going on.

That implies that they were making the political determination that the e-mail scandal could hurt her, but if they could tie it to Benghazi, it would be better for her.

For some reason, the country decided to give Hillary and Obama a pass for Benghazi. No idea why. It should have disqualified her from office, particularly if she was the "mastermind" behind the whole Libya campaign in the first place.

Obviously Republicans in Congress don't have testicles, but I hear this strategy thrown around a lot and what would it really achieve?

They don't have the votes, period. And Democrats feel zero pressure from their constituency to go along with it, so it's just a big public failure that would probably send Obama or Hillary's approval rating through the roof.

Obviously they deserve it, but not sure how falling on the sword really achieves anything.

Posted by: shibumi,



FWIW, my wife's Facebook page is a lot of the upscale, white suburban demographic and I'm actually surprised that a lot of these women are still Trump supporters top the point that they are bashing Hillary on their FB pages still. Many of them I would have never guessed and would have thought were liberals.

My big fear (and it's still there) is right-leaning, married white women abandon Trump.

Obviously dyed in the wool liberal women were never going to go for the eventual Republican nominee.

Posted by: Duke Lowell


Yes. It was a fairly common term in military parlance, part of your standard equipment for battle -- gladius (sword), vagina (sheath), scutum (shield), etc.

"Vagina" only ever referred to "female anatomy" much more rarely in jokey/goofing around situations. Sort of like how we have a quadrillion "slang" words in English for "penis," but most of the time they are just used as normal words: rod, knob, weiner, snake, tool, etc. People use those all the time and don't mean "penis" 99% of the time. Same for "vagina" actually meaning "sheath," and only rarely meaning, uh, vagina.

Along those lines I'll relate a funny story about Hebrew slang to you:

In Hebrew, leheezdayan literally means "to arm oneself", but it is only used in Israel for its slang meaning, which is "to fuck yourself". I forget which Prime Minister (maybe it was Shamir) spoke very elegant and exact Hebrew and he made a comment that the Palestinians were arming themselves ... for something. But he used the literal verb, "leheezdayan", which meant "fuck yourself" to every Israeli, and that was the headline of the Israeli papers - "Shamir(?) says 'Palestinians are fucking themselves'".

Lastly, people nowadays act as if victory over the Germans, Japanese and (yes) Italians was a preordained conclusion. Far from it. Until Midway and Stalingrad, we were losing badly. It was a near-run thing until 1943.

That might actually be the case on Election Day. The polls being perpetually touted in the Lamestream Media are heavily skewed in favor of Blue State/Blue City residents and Left-leaning responders who are Democrat or Democrat-leaning. I am certain that Third Party and Republican voters are not giving the pollsters the time of day, or are being under-counted.

The LSM's efforts to make Her Thighness seem inevitable could also be obscuring or discounting a majority of voters (and a plurality of Republicans, Bushes and Kasichs be damned) who have no intention of voting for her.

326 Anyone pooh-poohing the horror of the domestic and moral aspect of Benghazi has a typical millennial's view of recent history and America's role.


Fingering someone with no connection to anything, and having him perp-walked for the TV cameras (multiple unbelievable non-standard elements just there) to appease the howling anti-American MidEast mob was as vile a thing as this regime has done.


Generations dedicated their lives, the country in the main committed itself and did whatever it could to promote an open society and western style freedoms (incl. expression) for decades of the Cold War.


Throwing the video maker to the wolves was as repugnant, and damaging, a thing as I have seen done in my lifetime. (ditto the unbelievable "tweet" from Embassy Cairo apologizing to the mob literally at the gates for American freedom of expression)

There is a HUGE difference with the Senior People in the Gov and the War Department ignoring the inherent Danger of keeping the Fleet at Anchor at Pearl and KNOWING an attack was imminent for a fact.

And I'd be careful of putting to much stock in the danger of keeping the Fleet at Pearl and who was or who was for and agains that. A lot of it sounds like Monday Morning QBing.

338 It's hard to determine motive, but there is ample evidence FDR had plenty of warning regarding the danger of having all those ships in Pearl harbor, and the warnings came from his own military regarding a Japanese attack.

Kinda. Intelligence had mostly cracked the Japanese code at that point, so they had chatter about an attack, but they didn't have anything certain or solid. It was mostly just "we need to hit them" and possibly Hawaii.

As you can see in the film Tora Tora Tora, they feared an attack and believed one might be coming, but didn't know when, so they upped security and built a radar station. Its not like FDR knew and hid it so we'd get into war, though.

I was on a road trip to Princeton, NJ over the weekend. Being a college town they vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. In the grocery store in town there was a truck and on the back there were bumper stickers saying: "I'm NRA and I vote", "I:m a woman and I vote Republican" "If you like your freedom, thank a veteran" " Keep Christ in Christmas." I left a note for that person saying that I appreciated their sharing their sentiments in a very blue town." So, no, despite what Monmouth Polls or any other polls says this race is not over and there's a lot of anger at the Democrats and establishment Republicans.

I read "At Dawn We Slept" years ago. IIRC author concluded that FDR & Co expected Japan to attack in Asia, and likely the Phillipines, but an aerial attack on Pearl Harbor was too audacious. At the time, many didn't see that aircraft carriers were the New New Thing.

361 But, remember, Nixon threatening to interfere in an FBI investigation and discussing using the IRS against his political opponents is the worst thing ever in the history of ever.

Here. I'm going to take my new theory out for a spin.

Obamacare is to blame for Trump. I sum up.

The American public retains this quaint idea that we are citizens and not subjects and, thus, if we don't like how legislators are legislating, we vote them out and vote in new people to work for us.

So. When all the Obamacare shenanigans were going on (and doesn't that seem like a lifetime ago), the American public was told hey if you don't want Obamacare, you have to elect Scott Brown to stop it.

Massachusetts stepped up and Scott Brown got elected and Obamacare got rammed through anyway.

But, hey, SCOTUS will stop this because it's blatantly unconstitutional and then Justice Roberts wrote a scathing opinion overturning the decision that said, so, in accordance with the foregoing reasons, Obamacare is upheld. And those on the Right were all the actual fucking fuck.

But hey fine whatever, we'll give the Republicans the House and no, no, no, that's not enough, we need the Senate too so here and we'll throw out pretty much all the state level Dems too and this will stop everything.

Nope. And here we are.

Because the American people played by the rules and then realized that made them suckers so they said fine, you want to Calvinball it? We'll put up someone whose entire career depends on Calvinballing the hell out of everything.

So, in conclusion, fuck Harry Reid.

I don't know what you can extrapolate from it, but if a 3rd party absorbs like 3% of normal Democrat voters, Trump could easily win the election with that alone.

401 Let's not beclown ourselves over Pearl Harbor.


There was no specific knowledge or expectation of the sort of attack that happened.


Pearl was issued a "war warning" prior to the attack. Up until Dec. 6, Pearl was on an enhanced readiness footing that could have materially affected the outcome the next morning (air defense/response readiness, readiness condition aboard ships, such things as anti-torpedo voids being hatch-secured, etc.).


That decision was on Gen. Short and Admiral Kimmel.


Philippines attack was expected (and occurred). Separate scandal there on MacArthur's ledger (and others - ck out the decisions that left Caviti so vulnerable to air attack and nearly had the sub force wiped out at the dock).


Side-note: the actual planners of the attack (Genda and Fuchida) appeared to have directly defied their orders - from Yamamato - by giving the attack plan far higher priority to carriers than he directed it have.

To be fair, Turing did kill himself because the idiots in Britain forced him to take hormone therapy to stop his gayness.

I say no single "turning point".


No Japanese offensive operations of any significance after Midway - for obvious reasons. So that's one kind of turning point.


But Guadalcanal - actually the entirety of the Solomons campaign of which it was the start - was another turning point. The meat-grinder that ruined both Japanese army and navy aviation in a way that could not be repaired, given resource limitations and Japan's lack of preparation for a war of attrition.


So, in my self-acknowledged role as arbiter of arcane and ultimately pointless WWII disputes, I declare troyriser and redc co-winners of this mornings match.

446 343 It's hard to determine motive, but there is ample evidence FDR had plenty of warning regarding the danger of having all those ships in Pearl harbor, and the warnings came from his own military regarding a Japanese attack.

Kinda. Intelligence had mostly cracked the Japanese code at that point, so they had chatter about an attack, but they didn't have anything certain or solid. It was mostly just "we need to hit them" and possibly Hawaii.

As you can see in the film Tora Tora Tora, they feared an attack and believed one might be coming, but didn't know when, so they upped security and built a radar station. Its not like FDR knew and hid it so we'd get into war, though.
-----------
The White House reaction to the Imperial Japanese Fleet doing a major sortie was to fall into the Standard Plan, which was to anticipate attacks on the Philippines, Wake, and other Pacific territories. Yamamoto of course did not use the Standard Plan, which resulted in a nasty and unplanned-for surprise at Pearl Harbor. Just to be on the safe side, two carrier groups had been ordered out from Pearl to scout for the Japanese Fleet, which was maintaining radio silence as ordered. If Nagumo's fleet had been spotted by carrier aircraft or surface vessels, it would have been Red Alert time!

It is also a misnomer that Midway was the turning point in the Asian-Pacific Theater. Midway was a reprieve and a severe check to the Imperial Navy. (The Imperial Army was in no way affected.) The real turning point was the fight over Guadalcanal. The US Navy fought 5 surface engagements and 2 carrier battles against the Imperial Navy to prevent it from sending enough reinforcements and supplies to the island to enable the Imperial Army divisions there to overrun Henderson Field. Both sides took their lumps, but Japan was permanently forced into the defensive in the Pacific side of things.

Your point is well taken, as is his. If we lose Midway, we would have lost the ability to advance further East, no refueling stations, etc.

Also, Midway destroyed the Jap navy and they never recovered the carriers they lost at Midway.

So at the time of Midway, it WAS the most important battle in the Pacific, if we lost Midway, we would not have been at Guadalcanal when we were.


Thank God for the code breakers, or we would have gotten our ass beat. Also, the Navy pretty much claims Midway as the deciding battle for the above reasons.

The only slight problem with it that the Poles had already broken the original coding.

In 1932.

The Poles built and continued to modify a number of replicas by themselves, until they announced to the French and Brits the Allies could have the 3 of the machines in 1939.

Turning and co. broke the naval version of enigma. Still a feat in and of itself if not a little less dramatic.

Actually, the deciding factor at Midway was when the Navy partially broke the Japanese radio codes, and were able to get a near-exact picture of the Jap forces and their locations.

Even then, it was a close-run thing, considering the shitty weapons the US Navy had available to fight with, especially the torpedoes and torpedo bombers. It took hard men to prevail even with crap for weapons.

Actually, no imagination necessary. With the likes of Mark Dayton in MN running up the distress flag and shouting loudly for a federal bailout.

My guess is that by fiscal year 2018, trillion-dollar annual federal deficits are going to be a thing again.

465 Daily Caller reporting what we already knew, which is that Hillary Clinton is an abusive bitch who treated her SS agents with contempt.

Says senior agents didn't want to be on her detail, because she is so damn nasty and rude.

Also says Clinton routinely breached State Dept. protocols while on trips, angering and endangering U.S. ambassadors.

State protocol said Hillary was supposed to ride in armored limos with the ambassador, but she would force the ambassadors to go in unprotected vehicles, so that she could have her girlfriend Huma in the limo with her instead.

Turing didn't build Enigma from scratch or singlehandedly. He never named any computer Christopher. He wasn't a Sheldon Cooper Aspbergery type. Admiral Denniston supported him, invented conflict in movie. Omission of Gordon Welchman. Distortion of Hugh Alexander. Turing was not involved with use of crosswords to recruit, and Joan Clarke didn't get there by solving one. There was no letter to Churchill. The implication that Turing knew who a spy was and was blackmailed with his homosexuality upset a lot of people as Turing and the spy didn't work together and Turing was openly gay. Lots of stuff like that.
Okay movie, but historically a mashup.

Code-breaking (and actually the intuition of Rochefort and his team - to plant the "AF" ruse and have the Japanese confirm his conclusion stands without parallel in modern intel/war history), heroism, leadership, and LUCK.


(what if that Tone [TOH-nay, Japanese cruiser] search plane had launched on time and flown its full assigned sweep ..... )

Not really. Stalin would have attacked Nazi Germany eventually.

And all indications are that Stalin was planning on eventually invading Germany as well.

498 Japan's GDP in WWII was roughly the same as Italy's. The loss of four fleet carriers at Midway was irretrievable, especially with the Two Ocean Navy Act ships completing and joining the US fleet.

Also Fletcher was in command at Midway. Spruance proceeded toward the IJN fleet and launched his planes when he did because Fletcher ordered him to. It is worth noting that Yorktown's dive bombers showed up over the Japanese at the same time as Enterprise's even though Spruance had a head start. Fletcher didn't relinquish command to Spruance until all four Japanese carriers were burning.

499 "It's hard to determine motive, but there is ample evidence FDR had plenty of warning regarding the danger of having all those ships in Pearl harbor, and the warnings came from his own military regarding a Japanese attack."

Weren't Japanese military cadets asked from the early 1930s on, as part of their graduation, how they would launch an attack on Pearl, or is that just urban legend?

-------
Midway wasn't the strategic turning point because even at that time Japan still retained the strategic initiative. MacArthur's New guinea campaign was initially a defensive response to the Imperial Army's attempt to occupy New Guinea and turn it into a forward post for something serious directed at Australia. As of October 1942 the Imperial Japanese Navy still had the ability to keep the initiative and avenge their losses at Midway with another strategic matchup in their favor. Instead, they pissed their immediate strength in ships, aircraft, and seamen away across three months over a minor recon base the Marines grabbed as a defensive measure to protect convoys to Oz! The diversion of men and material to Guadalcanal also let MacArthur gradually take the offensive in New Guinea, and save Australia. After the final evacuations from Guadalcanal the IJN did not engage in a major fleet operation until they were forced to defend Saipan in the Battle of the Marianas, aka the Marianas Turkey Shoot.

505 Regarding Adm. Yamamoto: There was a reason he was reticent to attack the US. Before the war he had spent time touring the country and saw the untapped industrial reserve capacity we had. It ultimately heavily informed the Pearl Harbor attack: He knew the only way to beat us was to wipe out a significant proportion of the Pacific Fleet, giving them time to dig in for a defensive fight. Had the carriers been at Pearl on the 7th, the Navy would have had to make a hard decision: Put what little remaining resources into defending HI (Basically the entire Atlantic Fleet IMHO), Focus most of those resources on defending the Mainland (I.e. the Aleutians and the coast), or focus on the Germans. Note that both options 1 and 2 would have left the Royal Navy responsible for ALL of the convoy protection in the Atlantic as well as ops in the Med. Bad for the Brits needless to say. Yamamoto had the right plan. If the carriers had been at Pearl...

The real question is this: What would have happened if the Japanese had attacked the Soviets at the same time as the Germans, instead of in 1939?
--------
The short answer: nothing good for the free world. With the Siberian armies engaged Stalin would have had no strategic reserve to save Moscow in November and December. Hitler could still have screwed around with the Kiev front and still have taken Moscow at the end of November. the disruption caused by Stalin removing to the Urals would have let the Wehrmacht mop things up while Goebbels crowed about the Nazi triumph to the entire world.

Japan's big gain from this joint effort would mean that the Brits would then be permanently on the defensive against the Third Reich and towel boy Mussolini, and would not be able to hold their Asian possessions against the Imperial Army and Navy, let alone dream of retaking them. It would have been the USA alone against Japan, if Japan had felt the need to attack us then. FDR would have been under pressure to protect US territory first, which would have put our armed forces on a leash.

511 508: Precisely my thinking: I bet the Japanese wind up with most of the Soviet East Coast, either due to Stalin moving everything to the German Front or in a armistice with a Vichy-like, Nazi supported Russian Govt. in the wake of a Soviet loss. Vladivostok and the Chuchki Peninsula would have put Alaska and parts of the West Coast in bombing range I think. It would have also served as a perfect staging point for a more serious invasion of the Aleutians and from there the rest of AK.

512 505 Regarding Adm. Yamamoto: There was a reason he was reticent to attack the US.
----------
Yamamoto's honest pledge to give Japan six months made him seem very prescient in retrospect. After all, Midway as about six months after Pearl Harbor, right? But he could justly point to the American production effort, which had put naval and aircraft expenditures first.

If the USA was stunned into submission and a defensive stance by a string of defeats, said Yamamoto, Japan would purchase the time to complete the planned Asian conquests and (in theory) establish too tough a defense for the Allies to overcome. If the USA did not throw in the towel within the first year, eventually the US armed forces would have enough aircraft and ships to begin peeling Japanese defenses like an onion, and the Imperial Navy would still have to fight at a disadvantage, victories or no victories.

Africa and gets sent to Russia and he does to the Russians what he did to the Brits for much of the N. African campaign. Another variable that changes is Lend Lease aid: If the US gets knocked on their back foot and possibly loses HI as a viable staging point in the Pacific (either via getting the crap bombed out of it via Midway or via an actual invasion) I wager little to none of that aid gets to the Soviets and the Brits. In the end, yeah Japan would have eventually had to sue for peace (but not unconditional surrender I think), but Hitler probably would have won in Europe.

517 498, the bigger problem is that all the steel Japan needed to build more fleet carriers had to come by freighter from their industrial colonies in what is now North Korea and Manchuria. Those freighters were easy sub targets since the IJN didn't do cargo escort wuth its overly elite destroyer force.

Japan only built 40 odd new aircraft in 1942, factories were retooling, and only completed one new fleet carrier that saw action before war's end, 1944's Taiho.
