Unfortunately, the "mainstream" in this election is so far in the tank for Clinton (for whatever reason [excuse it on Trump being "deplorable" if it makes you feel better]), that if they cover this stuff at all it's along the lines of "wah...look at how those terrible hackers stole private info."
(This, mind you, being the same institution that thought [not wholly without justification] that Daniel Ellsberg was a hero)
Republicans pressured the State Department on Monday to remove Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy after newly released FBI records confirmed quid pro quo with federal authorities.
Documents revealed Kennedy tried to horse-trade with the FBI, offering additional slots for the bureau overseas if they would de-classify a particular email from Hillary Clinton’s server marked “SECRET.” The files also revealed he repeatedly tried to “influence” the bureau’s decision when his offer was denied, even taking his plea up the chain of command.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in Wisconsin that the new revelation was worse than Watergate.
"The FBI documents show that Under-Secretary of State Patrick Kennedy made the request for altering classification as part of a 'quid pro quo,' in other words a deal," Trump told supporters. "This is felony corruption. Under-Secretary Kennedy needs to resign."
Before his rally, Trump described the actions by the State Department to Fox News' Carl Cameron as "a criminal act," while also hurling criticisms at fellow Republicans.
"It's a crime, and I hear the Republicans are going to hold hearings after the election, why would you hold them after the election? We want to hold those hearings before the election," Trump said. "It's a criminal act and it's incredible that they can do this and get away with it."
In a joint statement, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., called Kennedy’s actions “extremely disturbing” and “reckless.”
"We find Under Secretary Kennedy's actions extremely disturbing. Those who receive classified intelligence should not barter in it - that is reckless behavior with our nation's secrets,” the statement read.
“Someone who would try to get classification markings doctored should not continue serving in the State Department or retain access to classified information. Therefore, President Obama and Secretary Kerry should immediately remove Under Secretary Kennedy pending a full investigation."
This is just the tip of the iceberg, amid the literal THOUSANDS of internal DNC e-mails being released now almost every day, incriminating Hillary Clinton, her closest advisors, and the entire corrupt DNC leadership.
In a world where journalism still existed, and the press was not just a zealous auxiliary of the Hillary Clinton campaign, this immense corruption would be getting 95% of the coverage, instead of convenient sexual allegations against Donald Trump, that are instead getting 95% of the coverage.
