It was a memo from the DOJ's Kathleen Kavalec saying that the dossier was bull shite. Wray is trying to hide it.



quote:

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.


quote:

Nonetheless, the FBI is doing its best to keep much of Kavalec’s information secret by retroactively claiming it is classified, even though it was originally marked unclassified in 2016.

Because he knows all the corrupt shite the FBI was involved in over the last ten years and is trying to keep it from completely blowing up?

Is why I have always said it should be extraordinarily difficult to ever "classify" anything from "we, the people". The Gov should have to jump through hoops and go through hell to ever get anything declared "secret" from us.

I sure wish Trump would get to declassing. I guess we are waiting on the OIG report that is supposed to come out within a month.

And maybe Trump is slow rolling this out to damage the Democrat going into the 2020 election.

We have still only seen the memo in its redacted form. We dont know who she sent it to, but its obvious that the FBI was told it was bullshitee, via this memo, and proceeded anyway.

That is glaringly illegal to purposely try and hide this. He should be prosecuted....wonder if he will still have that condescending smirk on his face then?

You know what they say - voters have a short memory so the closer to the election the more impact it will have.

It's already declassified, it's up to Horowitz to decide the what, when and where.

This. I believe that a good bit of the slow walking of this scandal is because they are trying to figure out how to adequately address the scandal and not destroy institutions at the same time. I'm all for burning it down but I can also understand the need to retain public confidence in the process. Obviously, one can argue that with the apparent level of corruption starting over from scratch is the only option.

Do that and the guilty all walk free. 5 year statute on many crimes.

Who gets to define what “destroys an institution”? Sounds like Wray thinks any negative press fits that description and should be hidden.

If we prioritize the institution over corruption, we might as well be Russia or China because there are effectively two justice systems in this country.

One for the elites, and one for the rest of us.

And, there should be some sort of penalty with mandatory jail time if it's determined that something was classified as "secret" or "confidential" if it was done merely to shield someone or a group of people from embarrassment.

Wray is a smug SOB doing his best to cover for his friends.
Remember he is the guy saying the FBI only hires the top 5%.
So we are smarter and better than you. Move along.

Declassified, freedom of information act?
Horowitz clears everything before it goes public?

Why did the FBI classify this memo on 4/25/2019? This is clearly Wray’s baby.

That ship has sailed with the hand written notes now out there. If he continues this stance he and the entirety of the FBI will look like supreme fools.
