In an unusual move, FBI agents working the Hillary Clinton email case had to sign a special form reminding them not to blab about the probe to anyone unless called to testify.
Sources said they had never heard of the “Case Briefing Acknowledgment” form being used before, although all agents must initially sign nondisclosure agreements to obtain security clearance.
“This is very, very unusual. I’ve never signed one, never circulated one to others,” said one retired FBI chief.
An FBI agent currently on the job admitted, “I have never heard of such a form. Sounds strange.”
Meanwhile, FBI agents expressed their “disappointment” over FBI Director James Comey’s decision not to recommend charges against Clinton, sources close to the matter told The Post.
“FBI agents believe there was an inside deal put in place after the Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton tarmac meeting,” said one source.
Another source from the Justice Department was “furious” with Comey, saying he’s “managed to piss off right and left.”
Recall Judge Napolitano making this prediction? “I believe that FBI agents, perhaps the director himself, James Comey, will resign and President Obama will be confronted during his last six months in office with a crisis not unlike Richard Nixon’s during the so-called ‘Saturday night massacre’ in Watergate where people resigned rather than doing what the president asked them to do.” According to Napolitano, “that will have a catastrophic effect on Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy. Probably so catastrophic that she will be replaced on the Democratic ticket.”
The Clinton's ability to corrupt everyone around them continues to amaze ordinary people. TM

Senate Judiciary Chair: 'FBI Tried to Gag Its Agents With Non-Disclosure Agreement' on Clinton Probe
In a strongly worded letter to FBI Director James Comey about his handling of the investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server for government business, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said he was troubled that "the FBI tried to gag its agents with a non-disclosure agreement on this matter, in violation of whistleblower protection statutes."
Noting the many “inconsistencies” in Comey’s announcement on Tuesday that he would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton, Grassley’s July 6 letter stated that “in light of these inconsistencies, it is even more troubling that the FBI tried to gag its agents with a non-disclosure agreement on this matter, in violation of whistleblower protection statutes.
“In your July 1st reply to my February 4th letter, you indicated that agents working on this case were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement that failed to exempt protected whistleblowing. Only after I wrote to you did you advise your FBI agents that they are still free to speak with Congress regarding waste, fraud, and abuse,” Grassley wrote.
The Judiciary Committee chairman also reminded Comey that he had failed to respond to a previous letter in which Grassley asked him whether “a special counsel was warranted in the Clinton investigation in light of the conflicts of interest that exist between Department of Justice officials, such as the Attorney General, and Secretary Clinton.”
That letter was sent to Comey in May, before Attorney General Loretta Lynch privately met with Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, on an airport tarmac in Phoenix.
“I also asked, if you did not believe one was warranted, that you explain why your opinion in this case is different from your decision to appoint a special counsel in the Valerie Plame investigation after Attorney General Ashcroft recused himself.
“You failed to provide any response at all to that letter,” Grassley noted.
Grassley also questioned Comey’s statement that although Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,” the FBI “did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information.”
“You entirely failed to explain how information that was marked as classified – rather than so-called ‘derivatively classified’ information contained in email conversations – could end up on an unclassified system without the intent of the person who transferred them,” the senator told Comey.

“Did the FBI weigh the probative value of this cavalcade of false statements in determining her guilt and intent, as it should have under the law?” Grassley asked.
In a statement following Comey’s announcement, Grassley said that if the FBI “wants to avoid giving the impression that [it] was pulling punches, because many people in a similar situation would face some sort of consequences, the agency must now be more transparent than ever in releasing information gathered during its investigation.”
