Mountains of evidence pointing to serious, deliberate crimes

It annoys me when people swallow right wing talking points without any facts. All of the rumors they kick around come from leaks from right wing unidentified "sources". Sources, which btw, haven't been correct yet.

The whole FBI investigation started as the result of either an outright lie, or a twisting of facts. Someone at state asserted that classified information was transmitted in an email or emails. Months later, that same organization admitted that was an error, that the information wasn't classified until months after the email was sent.

Once an investigation is opened, it has to be completed, but so far there is zero sign that anything has been found.

But that doesn't keep the butt gasses from rising.

And everything is out of context anyway. Suppose I say "take out all the classified tags and send the info over to x". Sounds bad right? But what that means is to strip out any classified information - not the words that say classified. There is a jargon used that can be deceptive to people who don't work in a particular world.

So until I see something concrete, I'm not going to get excited.

Another example. The NYT uns an article with information about foreign policy. Someone forwards that on. What the world doesn't know is that someone in some agency has decided that the information is classified - but it has been published. There is a protocol for handling publicly available classified information, but it isn't criminal to forward news articles around. Technically the information is still classified, but it is there for the world to find. These are the wrinkles that we are dealing with.
