Fed Source: About 12 FBI Agents Working on Clinton Email Inquiry
by ARI MELBER

Sources close to the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's email are knocking down suggestions that 147 federal agents are working on the case, a figure first reported — and now revised — by the Washington Post, citing a lawmaker.

The Post updated the figure on Tuesday, stating that while the "FBI will not provide an exact figure," there are "fewer than 50" FBI personnel involved in the case.

But a former federal law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the Clinton investigation tells MSNBC an estimate anywhere near 50 agents is also off base.

"There are currently about 12 FBI agents working full-time on the case," says the source, who would only speak anonymously about an open investigation.

Amazing how bad this place has gotten. There was a a day when right wing memes would get you tombstoned from this place.

Honestly I think Admin didn't think this through and is just waiting it out.

Bragging that it will happen! Lobbying for a Democrat to be falsely accused.

It's Fitzmas come full circle, combined with whitewater

Stunning when you stop to think about it.

The Post apparently does not vet even their anonymous sources. They have little credibility and zero good will. What happened to facts?

... And how many FBI agents were assigned to that investigation??

Oh, that's right... Zero, nilch, nada.
Only women politicians named Clinton need to be scrutinized by the heroic, hard hitting, fair minded professionals of the FBI.

(And, just by the way, many of Rove's emails were probably classified, but we'll never know. He dissappeared all 3 million of them).
