Thats weird. Go to the article and copy the URL then paste to google and click the first link you see. It is how i'm seeing the full article.

Amid the internal finger-pointing on the Clinton Foundation matter, some have blamed the FBI’s No. 2 official, deputy director Andrew McCabe, claiming he sought to stop agents from pursuing the case this summer. His defenders deny that, and say it was the Justice Department that kept pushing back on the investigation.

At times, people on both sides of the dispute thought Mr. Capers agreed with them. Defenders of Mr. Capers said he was straightforward and always told people he thought the case wasn’t strong.

Much of the skepticism toward the case came from how it started—with the publication of a book suggesting possible financial misconduct and self-dealing surrounding the Clinton charity. The author of that book, Peter Schweizer—a former speechwriting consultant for President George W. Bush—was interviewed multiple times by FBI agents, people familiar with the matter said.

The Clinton campaign has long derided the book as a poorly researched collection of false claims and unsubstantiated assertions. The Clinton Foundation has denied any wrongdoing, saying it does immense good throughout the world.

Pasted it again because new page and wanted it seen.

Basing their investigation on stuff from Clinton Cash seems like a fucking huge red flag. Basically a bunch of FBI agents are Breitbart readers, got shot down by career officials when they wanted to further pursue things, and got pissy and decided to start leaking.

Fucking unprofessional -- FBI needs to clean house after the election.

everything makes so much more sense now

I wonder who will be left standing after November 8. A lot of positions are about to open up.

Alabama Secretary of State: Helping More People Vote Would “Cheapen the Work” of Civil Rights Heroes

Merrill explained his thoughts in an interview with a progressive voting rights initiative called Answering the Call. Asked about automatic registration for people who turn 18, Merrill responded, “I don’t think that just because your birthday comes around, that you ought to be registered to vote.” He then listed a litany of voting rights advocates—including Rep. John Lewis, Martin Luther King, and Rosa Parks—and declared:

These people fought—some of them were beaten, some of them were killed—because of their desire to ensure that everybody that wanted to had the right to register to vote and participate in the process. I’m not going to cheapen the work that they did. I’m not going to embarrass them by allowing somebody that’s too sorry to get up off of their rear end to go register to vote … because they think they deserve the right because they’ve turned 18.

Its Alabama so his job is on the line if everyone all of a sudden is allowed to vote.

If you can't bother registering to vote what is the over/under on you bothering to research policies or educate yourself?

Next I'll hear voting should be compulsory.

Tell that to everyone trying to register but can't because of asshole officials.

Besides those too lazy and research in order to vote properly most likely are not going to get the sudden urge to get up off the couch and vote.

You're right, in fact maybe we should institute some kind of test at the polls.

Just, ya know, to make sure you're the kind of person that should be voting.

Should hire the TSA to conduct the testing.
