Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said the FBI likely has enough evidence right now to indict Hillary Clinton and her valued aide Huma Abedin, but that agency chief James Comey is being constrained.
“I think the FBI director would like to indict both Huma and Hillary as we speak,†Issa told The Washington Examiner in an interview published Friday. “I think he’s in a position where he’s being forced to triple-time make a case what would otherwise be, what they call, a slam dunk."
Clinton is currently under federal investigation over her private email server from her time as secretary of State. Issa, a former House Oversight Committee chairman, argued that she clearly violated transparency requirements during her tenure. “There’s no question, she knew she had a responsibility and she circumvented it,†he said of the Democratic presidential front-runner in an interview conducted at the campaign headquarters of Sen. Marco Rubio, whose presidential bid he has endorsed. “She circumvented it a second time when she knowingly let highly-classified material get into emails in an unclassified format.â€
Issa added, however, that charges against Clinton are unlikely under President Obama’s administration.
“I’ve worked with both the last attorney general … and this attorney general, and I really don’t believe they’ll do it,†he said of Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, respectively. "Doing it, by definition, would end her run for president.
“So, do I think the Democrats are in an odd situation where the only thing they can do is hold their nose and hold back on an indictment? Sadly, yes.â€
The State Department announced Friday it would release about 2,000 pages of Clinton’s emails but delay the final batch until after the New Hampshire primary.
Then DO IT, already. Otherwise it is just so much BS.
Issa should keep his mouth shut. He has demonstrated time and time again he is inept. Making statements like this does nothing but play into Hillary’s meme that the email scandal is all political.
GOP Lawmaker: FBI 'Would Like To Indict Both Huma and Hillary'
Issah proved he is incompetent...at best. He needs to slink back into his office.

Cool story, Darrell.
Thanks for sharing.
Off topic - do either of them ever wash their hair. Mine would have to go over a week to look like that. Even a four day camping trip didn’t do it.
We won’t hold our breath.
Tying Huma to Morsi and deporting her to face trial in Egypt would almost good enough. Hillary could just be left hanging there, trying to explain...
Id rather wait for the Trump Administration to do it!.....otherwise she’ll just get pardoned...for Treason no less..
Me, too. Do they need help? I'm available.
Not so sure about the “Trump Administration”, but hopefully the next administration will do what is right.
Obama will issue the pardon on his way out.. Nothing the next president can do to stop that.
Issa— the kiss of death to any investigation.
It will be quite clear what that business in Oregon was all about - showing the peasants who is Boss.
