However, from what I've seen so far, I do think that it is more likely than not that the FBI agents have a point. Fbi must have something concrete against Clinton,that is pretty obvious to me. If they didn't have anything concrete I doubt they would risk bringing out the news that they did. They probably have skimmed through the mails already,or have other reliable information. Will go further and say that what they found is probably very sensitive,hence all the caution when proceeding. Not going to fast,do it slow and good. | ||

We are making the world a better place by making a social media network that allows ISIS to recruit militants from Western nations. | ||

I specifically used this as one of my examples of bad/rogue FBI activity (my linked Lou Dobbs video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47XG_r0gUF8). Can anyone dispute this assertion? Do we have anything but anonymous sources' "confidence"? Do we have any documentary evidence? Can they name the foreign intelligence agencies? Will anyone put their name behind this? Can we get a damned email confirmation at least? You have got to see how this has a corrosive effect on democracy. Every last Facebook Conservative friend I have left will now assert this as as the Truth. But all we have is an anonymous leak by Trumpkin FBI agents with an axe to grind. | ||

Curious which five it would be. Would it be multiple from one country (e.g, GRU and FSB) or did five separate countries find their ways into this secret stash of emails? | ||

Do you get it? Anonymous and zero-fact reports get blown up because Conservatives want to hear it (see, Facebook likes and FOX ratings). | ||

He literally means nothing compared to the leakers. If a country has something to leak, they can get it out there. It wouldn't be hard, they just need to find some guy or put some guy in place who can do the leak. There are some cases of "spy defectors" who were really just controlled leaks. | ||

An oil executive accused of impersonating Elon Musk in an email in an attempt to solicit company secrets from Tesla wants the lawsuit thrown out because he says his impersonation wasn’t credible. Todd Katz was the former chief financial officer of Quest Integrity, which provides services to oil and gas companies such as ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron and Shell. In September, Tesla filed a lawsuit against Katz, claiming he set up the email address elontesla@yahoo.com to impersonate the company’s CEO and then used it to try and extract sensitive information from Tesla chief financial officer Jason Wheeler. According to the lawsuit, Katz sent an email from the elontesla@yahoo.com account to Wheeler on 3 August 2016 requesting more detailed information about Tesla’s second-quarter financial results that were released on the same day. “why you so cautious w Q3/4 gm guidance on call? also what are your thoughts on disclosing M3 res#? Pros/cons from ir pov? what is your best guess as to where we actually come in on q3/4 deliverables. honest guess? no bs. thx 4 hard work prepping 4 today em” Wheeler did not respond and instead Tesla launched an investigation to find out who was behind the email, eventually tracing the address to Katz and his employer. Katz subsequently resigned from his position. This week, Katz filed an objection to Tesla’s lawsuit arguing that the company’s reaction has been “over-the-top” and alleging that Tesla hacked into his Twitter in order to identify him. The filing does not quibble that Katz sent the email but argues that “nobody who received this preposterous and grammatically deficient email ever believed it really came from Elon Musk” and as a result there was no credible impersonation and no direct injury to Tesla. “It is clear that the email allegedly received by CFO Wheeler on August 3, 2016 was goofy, grammatically deficient communication that was not a ‘credible’ impersonation of Elon Musk in any way,” says the document, filed in the Santa Clara superior court.
