Obviously I was wrong. I think I'm going to call them the Federal Bureau of Idiocy from now on. I'd be interested to know how many agents quietly resign in protest over this decision.
The FBI has never been known for professionalism or integrity, Hoover had the dirt on so many people he bullied the media into making them into some kind of Super agents. You can look back to the 30s and on up into the present and see how corrupt and bumbling the FBI can be. They've railroaded innocents, suppressed evidence when it suited them, screwed up critical evidence, and generally, as pointed above, put bumbling into the B of FBI.

Expect? No. Hoped for in an excess of optimism......?

What surprised me was the gall in laying out how she and her staff met all elements of gross criminal negligence in the handling of classified information and then saying it doesn't matter because intentions.

In other news, I'm told that the FBI has re-opened several other cases.

It seems that Lee Harvey Oswald was "extremely careless" in shooting across a public road.

And, Timothy McVeigh was "extremely careless" in his handling of fertilizer.

And it was a distinct possibility. Lynch had already been warned.

Think about it. It really doesn't matter WHAT was said during that 30 min visit on Lynch's plane by Bill Clinton, the underlying message was passed. Talking about grandchildren in vague terms? Is there ANYTHING more "mafisioso" than that?

The Clintons got started on this road during the Reagan administration, when Bill Clinton, then governor of Arkansas, discovered the Iran-Contra operation working out of Mena, AR.

Here are some interesting facts:

Asa Hutchison: Current governor of Arkansas. In 1982 he was appointed as the US Attorney for the western district of Arkansas......right when Barry Seal was running his drug operation out of Mena airport, with CIA help. While Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas.
Afterward, Hutchison was a 2 term US Rep from Arkansas 3rd district, from Jan 1997 - Aug 2001. He was then appointed by George W. Bush to be Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration Aug 2001 - Jan 2003. After 9/11, Congress created the Dept of Homeland Security. George W. Bush then tapped Hutchinson to lead the Border and Transportation Security Directorate, the largest division of the DHS.

George H.W. Bush: Former CIA director. VPOTUS under Reagan, at the same time Barry Seal was running his operation out of Mena. Was knowledgeable, if not directly involved, with Iran-Contra.
POTUS for one term after Reagan left office. Lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton.

George W. Bush: Two term POTUS of USA, after Clinton. Former governor of Texas. While governor of Texas, he often traveled in a 1982 Beechcraft King Air 200 serial number BB-1014 that reportedly had belonged to Barry Seal. This aircraft is now owned by a Nevada corporation......

Starting to make sense now?
The Clintons didn't invent "hardball" on their own, they learned it from the CIA and the DEA. And the Bushes......

I work with a guy from Arkansas who is pretty knowledgeable about the Clintons and their hi-jinks. We were joking yesterday that the University of Arkansas should open a School of Aviation and Supply Chain Management and name it after Barry Seal.
