What do you see about this picture?

[CJB]

What strikes you odd about this image, which was included with a story about how the FBI director was about to take heat, after the Atty. General got skewered for her actions?

They're crooked.

Plus, there's quite a height difference between to two.

Crooked sign and one person is his people and one ain't.

Here's what I see...

Yup on the crooked part. But look at what is crooked.

The PICTURE was not crooked when taken. In other words, the plaque, the flag, gravity pulling the curtains, and the FBI Director were straight up and down. The Atty General seems to be leaning over. The picture is a rather tight crop. Tells me that they "rotated" the picture (which crops by its nature of rotation) to get the AG straight, and let the other stuff, ie FBI Director leaning.

This has a subtle effect in the mind of the viewing masses. Its a trick employed to move minds. You show the tilted FBI director, and state he is having problems in the text. They image and text reinforce each other. If the AG had been tilted, the image and text would leave a discord, an underlying doubt. What they did was subtle but effective.

I see leftist media up to their old tricks.

What I see is "Depart Justice".

FWIW; My one hope as to the reason it is taking so long to indict HRC is that the investigation has revealed a much larger scope of criminal activity than anyone first thought. Surely the felonies committed by HRC and her staff at the State Dept are easy to define but were only the tip of the iceberg. The corruption that the investigation will show involves an ex-President, and that is some serious stuff. Who all is involved could be shocking number. Perhaps to involve the Justice Dept. as well as many people at State. Otherwise, the story turns into how the U.S. Government collapsed into third world banana republic bribery and leftist ineffectiveness.

I can hope there are a least a few honest people left that carry a federal badge. We'll see.

And here, with the magic of photoshop, and some splashes and blots of color... what the straight image would have conveyed.

Remember, this was a Getty file source.... not mine!

See the immediate difference in the way FBI Director Comey comes across? That CJB corrected photo above is DEAD straight. They tilted it 6.5 degrees to the left when released.
Comey looks as regal as Ronald Reagan, and Loretta Lynch looks like she's trying to make some sort of case. FBI, unflappable in that picture. State Dept... working convince you otherwise.

Compare again to the "released" image.

Again.... brainwashing in action folks.

I see the AG leaning a little towards the left. Some nice hearted camera man (probably Obama) is straightening her out.

CGI is wonderful, ain't it!!!

I'll tell you, no news photographer will crop that close (as shown in the top image). The tilt was introduced after the fact. You don't crop tight in a fluid situation like news. You just don't. For the quality you need, and the equipment used (ie, full frame sensor, Canon, Nikon), you can afford to lose a bit of that stunning quality for the sake of cropping as desired later. Ask any new photographer.

Bingo. We have a winner right here.

Too good to be true.

That's some good detective work on the photoshopping, and DOES call into question why they'd try to straighten her out and make him cockeyed, but the sign does give it away!

Unfortunately Obama has already stated that Hillary did nothing criminal with the email server so the fix is in IMO. Being an IT person I know that she placed it at her home to avoid any emails getting out that she didn't want to get out. Wiping the hard drive only compounds that along with the 33,000 deleted "personal" emails. I just don't understand how stupid the masses are that will vote her in as our next president.
Just like Lois Lerner's emails disappearing due to a hard drive failure on her computer - when the fact is that emails are stored on servers - and the servers are regularly backed up elsewhere. This administration has been one for the books in corruptness, but only history will reflect that since Obama's approval rating is as high as it's ever been right now!

Corruption!
