Comments I heard from Rudy G. were that the IG report sets up air support for the FBI to proceed with an indictment, because with these findings they would appear incompetent not to do so. As always in government, “CYA” applies in spades.
and what he did not say is that report would not have been issued with that wording had it not been cleared by the administration...Cackles is history.
That's what I think. The IG report was much tougher than I expected it to be, given that State itself is at least semi-responsible for what went on on its turf. (Yes, I know the IG himself is independent, but you can see why the IG for State would be inclined to go easy on the department itself.) I was stunned not by what HRC did, but by how blunt the report was at laying it all out there, even including the fact that State underlings were instructed never again to inquire about HRC’s email system. I posit that, at the very least, the IG was told not to pull any punches, and that he was so instructed because the FBI will be issuing its own tough — probably tougher, given it has more ammo - report. And if someone told the IG not to pull any punches, that same person is not going to block the DOJ from indicting HRC if the FBI so recommends. Given that Obama passed in Japan on the opportunity to stick up for HRC at all (when asked at the press conference), I'd say at the very least, that he isn't going to save her if the FBI recommends she be indicted.
That has been my thought
some might call it triangulation.
When we get a third opinion and associated evidence, the indictment can’t be refused by DOJ
the third can be either the Old Gray Whore or the Compost with a 1-20,000 word series
