1. Marcy exposes the truth once again.

But,MSM could give a Rats Ass About anything Clinton except those friggin E-Mails. Proven once again,Russian disinformation won the day.

2. Marcy is usually dead on but this time, I think she was reading too much into the message.

It's a rather jocular text from some right wing agent the day after the election: "If you hear talk of a special prosecutor, I will volunteer to work on the Clinton Foundation." There's nothing beyond that sentence that I can see that leads to informants in the foundation. They may or may not have had one or more informants there but imho this doesn't lead to that conclusion.

That's how I read it too. And also, I don't think its ever been confirmed that there ever was an investigation into The Clinton Foundation. I believe that's one of those things FNC and Russian bots were spreading around to keep up the "Crooked Hillary" spin.

3. I see clear pro-Trump bias there...

... but I'm missing where this demonstrates that the FBI used informants (not that that would be unusual - as the Trump case shows).
