The amount of leaks we’ve seen from what should be one of the most trusted organizations in America is unsettling. The FBI has almost daily leaks at this point and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich says it’s time Attorney General Merrick Garland answers for them.
Pavlich explained how Trump, unlike Hillary Clinton, had the ability to declassify documents but somehow Clinton was just granted a pass, “Well, the big difference between the former Secretary of State and the president is that the president has the ability to declassify documents, the former Secretary of State does not. That certainly gives President Trump some leeway. The Department of Justice is leaking in public while they’re losing in court. Merrick Garland, the attorney general, said that he wanted to be transparent about this process. He personally approved the warrant to raid Mar-a-Lago.”
Order does need to be restored and finding the source of the leaks and holding them accountable is a great place to start.
Later she concluded by saying that time is now, “It seems like it’s time for a public statement from him to say that his department should not be leaking and giving the public a very small sliver of information. Given the lack of trust that the American people have in the department and the FBI at this point.”
Meanwhile, renewed interest into Clinton’s email server has the politician stomping mad, “I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails. . .”: Hillary Clinton’s disbelief this week was shared by many critics left dumbfounded by her claim her private server contained “zero” classified documents.
But that of course is a lie we have discussed here before. Former FBI director James Comey did not say that there was “zero” classified documents on Hillary’s server. In fact, he disputed that claim in an interview with George Stephopolis.
But Hillary’s denial of what was found on her server exposes something far more serious than signature hypocrisy. It reflects establishment figures’ sense of license that they can literally rewrite history with little fear of contradiction by the media.
While calling for limits on free speech over “disinformation,” Hillary has no qualms about falsely denying what published government reports detail.
“As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a ‘Clinton Standard.’ The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified,” her but-my-emails tweet continued. “Comey admitted he was wrong after he claimed I had classified emails. Trump’s own State Department, under two different Secretaries, found I had no classified emails.”
