The Justice Department’s internal investigative unit has kicked off a query into the agency’s own doings regarding the Hillary Clinton email server scandal.
Justice officials are investigating the FBI for the same.
Here’s a litte background:

But really, this couldn’t come at a more oportune time. As Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller breathes down the backs of Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn, the larger picture of Russia collusion seems to be pointed directly at the Clintons’ way.
It’s about time the feds peer deeper into Clinton’s email server — from the more truthful perspective of a Republican-run administration.
CBS Miami has more:
The Justice Department’s internal watchdog is launching a probe into the department and FBI’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
According to CNN, the announcement comes amid criticism about how the Justice Department handled the investigation which became a major issue on the campaign trail.
The decision to start the review was prompted by requests from various members of Congress and from the public, according to the Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz.
The review will look into several allegations including those claiming FBI Director James Comey’s actions did not follow policy. Particularly, when he publicly stated last July that the FBI would not pursue criminal charges against Clinton.
The White House clarified Thursday that they did not have a hand in the decision to investigate the matter.
“Decisions that are made by inspectors general across the administration are independent, and this administration has assiduously protected the independence of inspectors general,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

Another in the never ending pseudo investigations into sweet puck all. Before it starts, it is common knowledge that it will go no where, irregardless if any findings. Suspects of any wrong doing at that level of politician are above the law. Save everyones time, don’t bother with stories having foregone conclusions.

I almost hate to do this, but irregardless is not a word. Irrespective is the word you meant to use. Or simply regardless.
My apologies for grammar nannying and now return the comments to regular programming.

So far as I am concerned, “irregardless” is a word as there are very few people who do not know what is meant when they read or hear it. No need to apologize, the evolution of language is a good subject for discussion.
Loath as I am to quote the experts, however with reference to “Alice in Wonderland”
QUOTATION: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things”. The answer to that, is “yes”.

Oh dear Mahou, Humpty Dumpty is your expert? Ouch. Lewis Carol may have been a language expert, the broken egg not so much. I think Carol was making my point for me.
I remember debating someone some time ago on this topic who was adamant that language is and must be fluid and that words don’t have rigid meanings defined in any realm. I was compelled to point out at the time that words do indeed have certain meanings and that despite that person’s opinion the very name of an entry in a dictionary is “definition”.
As language creeps, and it does, every year we have a news story describing which new words have been added to the dictionary. Too often the dictionary quoted is Webster’s, which is a poor choice for defining the English language as Daniel Webster set out to singlehandedly change it but so be it. A better bar would be Oxford, but then British English has long bit a bit different than American usage.
My problem with extremely flexible language is present on more than one front. First and foremost is that I refuse to let anyone get away with making a statement that is on its face either notorious or imbecilic (not that you have at all!) and then in defense of that statement try to bend its meaning like a pretzel to avoid being responsible for what is clearly its meaning. Refer to Bill Clinton and “it all depend’s on what is is.”
My second problem with the destruction of our language is the incorporation and legitimization of ghetto speak as proper. Remember Ebonics? When the Ebonics was introduced the idea was that borderline illiteracy was merely a legitimate dialect of proper English and it was RAAACIST to correct a young student speaking or writing this way. What a slippery slope. You don’t hear much about Ebonics anymore. It properly died as it should have. But to mention Ebonics, what was originally created both for black empowerment and to bring our level of education in the schools down to the lowest common denominator, is now considered a racial slur. A clear case of a word like the “N” word, we can use it but you can’t…Let me axe you a question, and so forth.
I have other peeves with lazy grammar I won’t let go.
A moot point is not a mute point.
We all learned the proper use of to, too and two in the 2nd grade, let’s not forget what we learned.
Similarly when to use then vs. than.
Insure, ensure, and assure are not interchangeable.
Enormity does not mean “enormousness”, it means awfulness.
The “T” in often is silent, just because the talking heads on TV try to sound like effete Britons doesn’t mean that we in the west should.
Purposefully is not the new word to use instead of purposely.
I have long felt that the best and clearest writing is accomplished when one can express a complicated idea in simple language. Conversely I have read and edited the writing of many who felt they were exhibiting grand intelligence expressing a simple idea in a stream of ten dollar words that obscured any possible understanding of the concept they were trying to explain. My edits have ranged from suggesting better word choice, to correcting subject verb agreement, to “never mind, I’ll write it myself.”

You know I got some great edits in my technical writing from a Chinese colleague. Not so much on spelling or grammar, but he was a static test engineer turned systems engineer and a really smart fellow whose input I welcomed.
It usually came in the form of,
“This is too long, you’re losing the reader”
“I don’t understand this, what?”
“Break this up, use bullets, it’s for managers and they have short attention spans”
“I haven’t even started to read this yet, and I don’t want to, not enough white on the page, wider margins, more paragraph breaks”
And every time he was right.

Fortunately I don’t have to do that sort of thing any more. It is not all that hard to make technical writing interesting, it really helps to know the subject and the audience.
Another advantage is working in a place that is not over staffed, everyone has a job to do and knows how to do it. Dead wood and space fillers are a luxury I never could have.

Dead wood and space fillers was a reality I had to deal with every week. Sometimes I had to work for them. Sounds like you worked at a truly lean company; where I worked lean was just a slogan.
You probably remember where I worked and what I did. If I recall you were in petroleum. Engineers tend to have a certain respect for one another, even across disciplines. I hope you’re enjoying your time as much as I am. I’m wrapping presents and drinking.

Yes, tis’ the season to do all sorts of things, that one does year round, but this time of year it has a “legitimacy” to it. Electronics if great, I can do all my shopping wrapping and distributing from the comfort and convince of my desk. The company I wrote for was anything but lean, it was of europen origin, hence there were kingdoms and fiefdoms in every department, all of which maintained a few peasants to do the work, and edify hierarchy.

Speaking of double negatives, at one point in my youth I had to learn black English, as there were few people around that spoke anything but. That dialect uses a lot of double negatives, for example, “He ain’t got none” 🙂
You got me thinking, maybe it isn’t done for logical reasons, logic not being a strong point in that culture, but for purposes of emphasis.

Richard, you are a man after mine own heart. I love the English language, even though it is tough to get through at times, even in thought. …. =).
Even common grammar skills have fallen by the wayside. A particularly teeth-grating, hair-pulling example (from journalists whose primary function is “communication”) is “Please join Richard and I at 5:00 for details on this breaking story.”
I could write ad infinitum, but I’ll offer just one more (in the style of Forrest Gump): And then, for no particular reason, someone decided that pronouncing the word “homage (HOM-ij)” as “o-MAHJ” is a good thing. Go figure.

Yes, indeed. I can still see Mrs. Patterson in her animated state (she was a true lover of grammar) waving her arms, loudly calling out “Please join I and Richard!” …. “PLEASE … join I and Richard!!” …. “PLEASE, join I and Richard!!!” “PLE-E-EASE, join I ….Richard won’t be joining us!!” …………. “It’s ME, not I !!!!!!” (We learned our grammar!!)

The “language” that has replaced ebonics, or street talk, is a testament to how far our nation has fallen with respect to mutilating English.

Other’s have chimed in.
-Their, they’re, there
-When to use “I” vs. “me”. What I was taught was to remove everyone else from the sentence and then see if the pronoun still sounded right. By myself, was it me or I?
-Never end a sentence in a pronoun. Why not? That’s how people talk, even smart people. I do it and try to stop me. I think this is a rule that English teachers made up in the 19th century to have more work.
I never was good at diagraming sentences. But I did learn a few things beyond spelling and grammar. And on my shelf I have the 8th edition of Hodges’ Harbrace College Handbook. I don’t often open it. I know when to use a semicolon, and I put commas around my appositives. I love appositives.
I was lucky. Entering high school we all took placement tests. Based on my test scores I was placed in honors English in my freshman year. Our teacher was the head of the department and my early compositions were terrible. She was and incredibly good teacher and she realized that I was smart and had command of grammar and language but that I could not compose. She spent time with me in me freshman year after school was out. One on one in her office and she taught me how to write. Geraldine Meyers, what a fantastic teacher. She saved my academic future, do they even make teachers like that any more?
I ended up taking four years of honors English plus elective courses in Basic Composition and Basic College Skills in my senior year. I was an engineering major in college, but I took a history minor because my writing ability by then made it easy to get good grades writing papers to pump my grades.

Mahou, to be candid, only in Canada is “irregardless” still a word. It’s a kind of double negative. The fellow is right, the correct word is ‘regardless”. For example, ‘regardless’ of what the Toronto Star says of Justin Trudeau, he has peanuts for brains and no moral compass.

Absolutely correct, the new team can’t seriously conduct an investigation that will lead to more than a few peripheral scapegoats out of fear that the same will be done to them when they leave. With even this it took almost a year to formally begin something that should have started day one and already creating major change if this was more than another fake investigation to pacify the gullible supporters. The best we can hope to happen is removal of a few swamp creatures making the water slightly less muddy involving small payback for what is grossly unjust. Without a collapse or revolution, the average American is alone and screwed, just as the power team has planned it. “Regardless” is sufficient without the modifier but as usual your comments are the best irregardless of how you say it.

Robert Mueller is the arch type of a totally compromised, deep state operator and I have zero trust in him doing the right thing on his own volition unless there will be effective checks and balances on his investigation from within the FBI / DOJ and the GOP controlled Congress
I am highly skeptical that Mueller will actually do the right thing, time will tell

Hopefully, someone has finally lit a small fire under Session’s tush to get serious about investigating the Clinton Crime Syndicate, including Comey, Mueller, the DNC, and other rats in the Democratic party.

How is it that, the average person on the street, like most of us here, knew about Hillary’s shenanigans back in ’16 and yet, the Justice Dept. acts like they just received such ‘damming info’ on Hillary yesterday? This is ridiculous. Where have they all been. Only now they see the need to investigate? This should have been done 1.5, 2 years ago. There was enough evidence out a year and a half ago to put Hillary on trial and yet, nothing. Comey the Commie should be brought up on obstruction of justice charges and have his pension taken from him, for starters. It is criminal for the American people to continue to pay someone like him (in retirement), essentially rewarding him for his criminality.
This is nothing but show, will drag on for 3, 4, or longer years, will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and will end up going nowhere. Then, everybody involved can write books and make more money off the American people, AGAIN, by spinning the whole thing. Disgusting.

Everyone in the IT world knows siting top secret email servers in bathrooms is the go-to plan. That way you can monitor the server from your throne — and the door even has a lock so the room can be secured! And if you ever need to clean the server there’s plenty of bathroom cleaning products and water close to hand!
