Immunity deals for two top Hillary Clinton aides included a side arrangement obliging the FBI to destroy their laptops after reviewing the devices, House Judiciary Committee sources told Fox News on Monday. 
Sources said the arrangement with former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson also limited the search to no later than Jan. 31, 2015. This meant investigators could not review documents for the period after the email server became public -- in turn preventing the bureau from discovering if there was any evidence of obstruction of justice, sources said.  
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee fired off a letter Monday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking why the DOJ and FBI agreed to the restrictive terms, including that the FBI would destroy the laptops after finishing the search.
“Like many things about this case, these new materials raise more questions than answers,” Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News.
“Doesn’t the willingness of Ms. Mills and Ms. Samuelson to have their laptops destroyed by the FBI contradict their claim that the laptops could have been withheld because they contained non-relevant, privileged information? If so, doesn’t that undermine the claim that the side agreements were necessary?” Goodlatte asks.
The immunity deals for Mills and Samuelson, made as part of the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s use of a private email server when she served as secretary of state, apparently included a series of “side agreements” that were negotiated by Samuelson and Mills’ attorney Beth Wilkinson.
The side deals were agreed to on June 10, less than a month before FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency would recommend no charges be brought against Clinton or her staff.
Judiciary Committee aides told FoxNews.com that the destruction of the laptops is particularly troubling as it means that the computers could not be used as evidence in future legal proceedings, should new information or circumstances arise.

WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?

Just after somebody claimed, more or less, 'Well, Hillary may be bad, but Trump is worse!', I get greeted by the news item above.  
This is ASTONISHINGLY CORRUPT!  First, they give immunity to people, for no obvious reason (they could get the laptops by subpoena anyway), and they fail to go after the most obvious target, Hillary Clinton.  NOW, we hear of a secret side-deal to ensure that the laptops of these co-conspirators are destroyed, and are not even searched after a given, specific date.

Imagine how much we owe to people, private citizens and organizations, that have chosen to go after (by lawsuit, etc) these government crooks.  They use FOIA requests, lawsuits, and subpoenas.    Anything the  Hillary-cronies had in their laptops needs to be exposed, and used to sue them.  Effectively, however, they are trying to use the FBI to carry out ("officially") the kind of large-scale evidence-destruction that previously, Hillary only attempted to do with the assistance of her lawyers, deletion of those 33.000 million emails.  Now that she has been raked over the coals for that, her minions try to further insulate themselves by getting the FBI to agree to take a hammer to them.


Look, guys, how much more obvious does it have to get?  Hillary's staff is thoroughly, completely corrupt.  And now, seemingly shamelessly so.  And government organizations are being brought into play solely to assist them.

Prosecute ALL of them.  Convict ALL of them.  Jail ALL of them for the rest of their worthless lives.
