talked about "stuff is coming out about HRC" must have included the FBI's NY Field office.

More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Bidens son has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.
The letter, signed on Monday, centers around a batch of documents released by the New York Post last week that purport to tie the Democratic nominee to his son Hunters business dealings. Under the banner headline Biden Secret E-mails, the Post reported it was given a copy of Hunter Bidens laptop hard drive by President Donald Trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who said he got it from a Mac shop owner in Delaware who also alerted the FBI.

Such an operation would be consistent with Russian objectives, as outlined publicly and recently by the Intelligence Community, to create political chaos in the United States and to deepen political divisions here but also to undermine the candidacy of former Vice President Biden and thereby help the candidacy of President Trump, the letter reads.
National Counterintelligence and Security Center Director Bill Evanina said in August that Russia has been trying to denigrate Bidens campaign, specifically through a Ukrainian lawmaker named Andriy Derkach who has met with Giuliani at least twice to discuss corruption accusations against Biden. Derkach was sanctioned by the Treasury Department last month for allegedly acting as a Russian agent and interfering in the 2020 election.

(58,785 posts)No need to go to Russia to find the subversives, though it's possible some may have been compromised and turned. Like these guys.
I believe FBI Director Comey and Andrew McCabe virtually certainly were colluding with RW powers to throw the 2016 elections to the Republicans. Too bad for them that whackjob tRump thought it all meant they were his minions and sought revenge when they "betrayed" him.
