Rudy Giuliani Confirms The FBI Leaked Information To The Trump Campaign
Source: Huffington Post
Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he knew the FBI planned to review more emails tied to Hillary Clinton before a public announcement about the investigation last week, confirming that the agency leaked information to Donald Trumps presidential campaign.
The former New York City mayor and Trump surrogate has recently dropped a series of hints that he knew in advance that the FBI planned to look at emails potentially connected to Clintons private server. The agency discovered the messages while investigating former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) for allegedly sexting with a minor. (Weiners estranged wife, Huma Abedin, is a top aide to Clinton.)
Giuliani has bragged about his close ties to the FBI for months, mentioning in interviews that outraged FBI agents have told him theyre frustrated by how the Clinton investigation was handled. And two days before FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency was reviewing the newly uncovered emails, Giuliani teased that Trumps campaign had a couple of surprises left.
Youll see, and I think it will be enormously effective, he said in an interview with Fox News.

NEW YORK (AP) - The FBI and New York Police Department say they are assessing the credibility of information they received of a possible al-Qaida terror attack against the U.S. on the eve of Election Day.
Officials say Friday that counter-terrorism investigators are reviewing the information that mentioned New York, Texas and Virginia as potential targets.
It wasn't immediately clear how the intelligence came to investigators' attention. An NYPD spokesman says in a statement the information "lacks specificity."
In a statement, the FBI said it was working closely with law enforcement agencies and sharing intelligence reports.

(5,049 posts)Worst of all - the FBI very likely released false information to the Trump campaign.
Comey should be sacked immediately and at least the New York office should be shuttered with all staff terminated before the weekend is over.
This nation cannot survive a politicized FBI.

Fire the entire staff of the New York field office? Really?
Termination for working at a particular office?

All reports lead to the New York office as a snake pit of Hillary Haters. It's been called "Trumpland." Agents there have been linked the Rudy Ghouliani as a contact person with the Trump campaign. The New Your office has almost singlehandedly and irrepreably altered the Presidential election of 2016.

Since most of this activity is through the New York Office, I conclude it's too difficult to separate the "good guys" from the "bad guys." So a fresh start is the best way to stop an out of control Agency from illegally interefearing with our most sacred right. The right to vote. Without that - we are no better than any third rate Bananna Republic.

(115 posts)Mass punishment because it's easier than an actual investigation is lazy and would cause even more problems.
At least you'd feel better though. That's something... Right?
I'm sure that guy who had nothing to do with it while he was working an actual murder will be satisfied.

(290 posts)Just terminate the whole lot of 'em, who cares? Let's not waste time and effort determining whether or not these people actually did anything wrong. It's only someone's career and livelihood, after all, and if they had the misfortune to work alongside people who did do something wrong, well... they deserved it, too!
The notion of mass punishment is nauseating to me, and to see it so enthusiastically promoted on a progressive forum was sickening. Thanks for calling it out, and welcome to DU!

(290 posts)I care about innocent people being tarred with the same brush and suffering the same consequences as the guilty, merely because they work in the same office with the guilty.
How would you feel if you lost your job because some of your colleagues, or even most of them, were doing something they shouldn't be doing? Or is it okay as long as it doesn't affect you or someone you happen to like? These guys might be Republicans, so who cares if they lose their jobs and livelihoods?
In your words, fuck that. Collective punishment with no concern whatsoever for who is guilty and who is not is repugnant.
gopiscrap
(23,761 posts)they're scum and need to be removed from this country! They should be shunned and despised, perhaps then the repuke party will clean itself up!!!
Sand Rat Expat
(290 posts)So membership in the Republican Party (or even suspected membership), as far as you're concerned at any rate, should disqualify a person from being treated fairly and having the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven? Well, that's obvious, I suppose, since you want them rounded up and "removed" from this country.
Do you have any idea how absolutely deranged and unhinged you sound right now? The lunacy you're coming out with is the sort of thing I much more frequently hear from the most frothing-at-the-mouth of the rabid conservative zealots.
Punishing people for the "crime" of holding beliefs that don't conform to yours... now where have we heard that before...?
yellowcanine
(35,699 posts)Now we have confirmation there was a leak of the decision to release the letter and he should have no problem determining who was the leaker - Just ask Giuliani to identify his sources and follow them back. Use lie detectors if necessary. One thing for sure, this investigation is compromised. And probably the Wiener investigation as well. Heck of a job, Rudy!

(6,918 posts)The GOP dictator weaklings can't win at the ballot box so they kiss the asses of similar weaklings in positions of power.
The FBI needs to clean house, whoever is a political operative in the Bureau needs to be working as a mall security guard.
How much of a loser do you have to be to think Rudy Giuliani will be a power-broker in a Trump fantasy-presidency?

(1,254 posts)Guiliani's big mouth lets the cat out of the bag, allegedly forcing Comey to write this vague letter. Perhaps the NY agents leaked the info To Rudy. He in turn makes very vague INNUENDO/reference. RUDY'S comments were not enough to justify Comey writing that letter! And had Guiliani leaked more in the coming days, Comey could have simply not responded. But by issuing his vague letter, it TOTALLY lent credence to Rudy. What a neat SET, MATCH....SCORE!
It may have worked off better if Comey hadn't sent his letter to Republicans WELL IN ADVANCE on Friday! The fly in their soup!

The camera went to his face & he was POd! He's a spineless coward. All those types are.

(9,474 posts)My question is this: who investigates the investigators? Another question: what is DOJ/Obama Adm. doing about this, if anything? Finally, this: I recently read an article that stated it would have been possible for the FBI NY Field Office to snag Clinton emails from the cloud and install them on Weiner's laptop without detection. Has anyone else seen that article (thought I'd saved it, but can't find it now), and is that possible/probable? I keep remembering how Huma kept saying that she had no idea how the emails could have ended up on his computer.

Top Trump ally and former federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliani has boasted more than once about being in touch with FBI agents who are hot after Hillary. One example, from Oct. 28, via the Daily Beast:
The other rumor that I get is that theres a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI about the original conclusion [not to charge Clinton] being completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face to the FBIs integrity, said Giuliani. I know that from former agents. I know that even from a few active agents.
The FBI's "Ethics and Integrity Program" guide, meanwhile, stipulates to its employees that they may not use "any influence arising from [their] Federal position ... in concert with any campaign." More broadly, it says, "FBI employees must never use their FBI title or position in any way to advance any particular partisan activity."
Does leaking unflattering information about Hillary Clinton to one of Donald Trump's top advisers count as working in concert with a campaign and/or advancing a partisan activity? It would seem that Rudy Giuliani understands that that might be the case, because when he went on Fox on Friday he denied that he's in touch with current agents. "I'm real careful not to talk to any on-duty, active FBI agents," he claimed, despite having attested at least twice in recent months to having done so.
.................
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)1). There's pretty much one source "off-duty, non-active" FBI agents are going to get info on what's going on inside the FBI, and that's on-duty, active FBI agents.
2). I don't believe him for a second, because yeah...he's been bragging about this, about how well-connected he is, and in some inconceivable way, he thought there wouldn't be any blowback from this. Maybe because Trump has skated right past all of his own baggage. I don't know. But Rudy? Rudy blew it.
