      What is difficult to reconcile. If played straight, why didn't: 1) FBI/DOJ compel DNC to turn over compromised server? 2) Investigate, as rigorously, Clinton campaign's Ukraine connections? 3) If Trump campaign's "peripherals" compromised, not Trump, why not read-in Sr Ldrs?

      1). Because as a private entity the DNC had not made an official complaint to the Bureau of being hacked. They used private forensics. Therefore, the Bureau had no standing to compel the seizure of the servers. Absent probable cause and a search seizure warrant. #4thAmend

      And that is from one g-man to another.

      Even the Bureau can disagree internally. As to #2 and #3, IDK. As I have learned since retiring, the corporate world (I include the DNC here) thinks differently about involving the Bureau in matters that are potentially embarrassing.

      As you know, having served in the bureau, there are many different means available to compel, or coerce cooperation. What conclusions can, or should be drawn from said "private entity" electing not to cooperate in a NatSec case w/obvious implications? Doesn't imply 'guilt.'

      Nope. It does imply a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders as interpreted by the CEO and the Board of Directors. In this case the DNC may have wanted to protect their own political intelligence. Not necessarily criminal in nature.

      I’m not absolutely sure if the timeline here but one must remember that the Bureau had a tightly-held, highly-compartmented CI investigation at, or about the same time. That would have played into decisions on the 7th floor on whether or not to compel surrender.

      But that's been my criticism from the beginning. Not that there was some nefarious "Deep State" run amok, but that the 7th floor made some horrifically bad judgment calls in both consequential Major Cases that they oversaw.

      If every agent who ever disagreed with either the 7th floor of FBIHQ or their Field Office management about the investigative direction of a case, the MSM would be full of retired agent pundits pontificating about bad decision making by the FBI.

      If y'all are going to go there, can we branch out to some of the cases where less powerful non-white people are the ones whose rights were affected? Thanks.
