Obama’s Conflict Tanked the Clinton E-mail Investigation — As Predicted
National Review ^ | 26/9/16 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Hillary couldn’t be proven guilty without proving the president guilty as well. ‘How is this not classified?”

So exclaimed Hillary Clinton’s close aide and confidante, Huma Abedin.

The FBI then did what the FBI is never supposed to do: The agents informed their interviewee (Abedin) of the identity of the second person. It was the president of the United States, Barack Obama, using a pseudonym to conduct communications over a non-secure e-mail system — something anyone with a high-level security clearance, such as Huma Abedin, would instantly realize was a major breach.

Abedin was sufficiently stunned that, for just a moment, the bottomless capacity of Clinton insiders to keep cool in a scandal was overcome. “How is this not classified?”

Why is Trump being prosecuted over BS, and the real criminals are living the life of Reggie Van Gleason. That makes this article timeless.

Statute of limitations might expire in the intervening eight years, and besides, Barry can claim that he de-classified everything that was on Hillary’s bathroom server, Brandon’s Chinatown digs, his garage, or anywhere else. He was the President, after all.

Heir Mueller was able to Extend the Statute of Limitations at the FISA court for Paul Manafort, We can do the same.

Anything they felt the need to use pseudonyms for emailing about could not be legal...

So why would he cover for Hillary ?

Who else was using alias email and was not President and could/would provide cover for Hillary ? Who else had enough 'pull' to do that?
