Latest DNC talking point: Per DWS, It's not Hillary who's the target of the FBI investigation

I had this used against here so I googled and sure enough. DWS was on Fox saying exactly this.

So if it's not Hillary then who is under investigation?

Besides all the things she's done and the FBI Investigations ..She threatens free speech.
She constantly censors people and isn't even President. I hate to imagine her as President.

B. That they let her.

But not guy granted immunity. The guy who set up her server. This shit will hit the fan soon.
As grasswire said in another post, this election could have been a lot different except for
the hubris of HRC.

That says a lot! And yes very smart. To tell the truth. Out of all of Hillary's aides. Huma Abedin seems to be the one who would hate jail the most. Taking Brian out of the equation, Huma is Hillary's weakest link in the chain.

...at the neck over her constant obligation to HRC. Could she be flipped? Hard to tell. That probably depends on whether she thinks HRC can still be POTUS (which would put Huma in a most powerful spot in the WH). I think Huma is most of all self protective at this point.

She knowingly broke the law, many times.
Her status as frontrunner and ex SoS and ex FLOTUS may give her an edge with the law.
But by now, this affair is public knowledge. Much damage has already been done. Only low
information voters are not aware of this. And as I have said before, the e-mail stuff will pale
when compared to the pay for play shenanigans at the Clinton Foundation. Bill and Hill are
grifters, fucking over anything and anyone they can for money. I have no faith in HRC as
a president.
Would she be better than Trump? Really? That's our choice this year? GO BERNIE!!

You are not supposed to talk. If you do, ironically you can get yourself in the same kind of trouble as the target in this case.

Platte River didn't even know that the company they used to provide back-up put the back up on the cloud. They only found out as all companies cooperated with the FBI.

All that was wiped out, yes, like with a piece of cloth, was resurrected. Dust rags on a server cover are worthless as data wipes.

My guess would be Sid Blumenthal and his CIA leakers are persons of interest

As Blumenthal did this while in the employ of Bill Clinton and while acting as a non-governmental advisor to Hillary, I would be guessing the Clintons are also persons of interest.
