32. When someone talks about this issue, there is a definite "tell"

If a person says,

"not a criminal investigation but a security review",

You immediately can conclude what follows is spin. It's one of Hillary's favorite lines but the truth is the FBI does not conduct security reviews. There are people who do conduct such reviews, but it is not the FBI. The FBI investigates crimes.

"marked classified"

Once again, this is a typical Hillary line. Of course, the markings do not dictate whether something is classified or not. Anyone who uses that phrase is spinning.

"Hillary's intent"

Once again, spin. Intent is nowhere to be found in the applicable laws and intent is not a requirement for a crime.

Watch for these phrases arguing against the possibility of indictment. If you hear these phrases you can be awfully sure that the "analyst" is either ignorant or spinning.

Yep. Being conservative, I expect his new number to be 65.6% of the remaining PDs. morningfog Apr 2016 #15
