I understand that about 99% of us laugh at FBI Comey and his recent layout of the case for Clinton’s indictment resulting in recommendfation to the DOJ not to indict.

But, butt, buttt, could it possibly be that Comey knew there were other and more important and more really, really, really serious charges in store for both he and the sink emperor. And, that by recommending charges agin her might derail or otherwise aggravate the alternate investigation into the Clinton Foundation?

Just a thought.

What would be the potential ‘upside’ of avoiding prosecution on one set of facts, on one set of statutes, in order to somehow fuel another investigation of other facts?
I’ve heard this theory offered up several times since Comey did the public sell-out, but I don’t get it.
I’m not the deep intellectual legal eagle that some FReepers are, but it just doesn’t make sense to me that this would be the reason to not prosecute the Hildebeast on the illegal handling of classified emails.

For others, prosecution on “X” charges does not preclude prosecution on “Y” charges, later.

I get that sometimes prosecutions are ‘timed’ based on the development of evidence of other crimes, and additional suspects, but that doesn’t seem to be in play, here.

I rather believe that the ‘fix’ was in; probably in no small part due to WJC’s ‘visit’ with LL in PHX. I can see a direct, and short, line from LL to Comey via a phone call, a text message, or a horse head in his bed. I believe it’s very likely that Bubba delivered a message that assured LL of continued employment in the First HRC Dynasty; all that was required was that she ‘convey’ to Comey that Vince Foster was not an accident, not a suicide.

No intent to defraud, collude, or otherwise racketeer for personal gain.

Stop it, drop it, and roll over!

I think you’re spot on. I’ve always believed the more serious crimes involve the Clinton slush fund.

If only I could think of a decorous response....
