Storm Clouds Form: Bob Woodward Compares Hillary Scandal to Watergate (FBI revolt brewing)
National Review ^ | January 10, 2016 | John Fund

Posted on 01/11/2016 6:34:12 AM PST by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal has been a difficult one for the public to understand and for journalists to explain. But Bob Woodward, the Washington Post reporter who helped uncover Watergate 40 years ago, clarified things a lot on Fox News Sunday today when he said that an e-mail in the most recently released batch shows Hillary trying to "subvert the rules" that she expected others to follow.

A few days earlier, Joe DiGenova, a well-respected former district attorney for the District of Columbia, told The Laura Ingraham Show that "there is vitriol of an intense amount developing" in the intelligence community and that FBI agents "are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if [the Justice Department] refuses to bring charges" against either Hillary Clinton or her former State Department staffers.

[Snip]

Only 23 percent of independents view her as "honest and trustworthy" in the latest Quinnipiac poll. Other Democrats, including Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, would be remiss if they weren't preparing a Plan B in case this number dips even lower, making her a more vulnerable general-election candidate.

I think you may be right.

The bright light of Truth will be cast on many dark things when Trump becomes President.

This is the greatest horror of a great many people, and that's why they will fight like the gutter rats that they are to prevent his election, and this, in itself, is ample reason for honest people to assure his election.

Trump's honesty is perhaps his greatest single attraction to honest people sick-to-death of the mendacity and scorn of truth fundamental to the decadence of Western Civilization--

And also the thing most feared by the dishonest and those millions who are so thoroughly suffused with decadence that they have lost the ability to recognize it.

The media uses the "difficult to explain" excuse to cover up their failure to cover the story for partisan political reasons.

Perfect.

turn “states evidence”? To whom? The state? DOJ? The State and DOJ don’t care about justice. Only some of the sheeple care about justice.

On a national level we are as bad off as Athens, Tennessee or Phenix City, Alabama were. We are just lawless so far as the powerful class are concerned.

“The so-called “Rule of Law” is always selectively enforced.”

Yes, surely there are numerous whistle blowers that deserve the full measure of the law for exposing the Hill and her muslim buddies ... Judicial Watch needs to be taken down for the sake of selling more classified info for cash!

The FBI can investigate all they want to. DOJ has to decide that they want to prosecute based on the evidence that FBI gathers DOJ is just playing along knowing they can’t shut the FBI investigation down but DOJ already know what they are going to do about the evidence... NOTHING. NOTHING at all. Same as every other crime by this administration.

In my mind’s eye, make no mistake, what the wicked witch has done belongs to the administration.

Loretta Lynch refused to bring charges against IRS scum Lois Lerner. What's makes anyone think she will do any different with Hillary?

One possible reason...

Think of the Marxist Obama Machine (MOM) as the governmental equivalent of a crime family. Crime families have adversaries, and they have competitors.

To their adversaries, they try to buy them off, and if that doesn't work, they take them out. That is how MOM has worked with the GOPe and conservatives: they were able to buy off the GOPe, and then they used the IRS to take out conservatives. MOM would not allow its "button men" in the IRS to suffer, because they did what they were told to do.

The Clinton Crime Syndicate (CCS), however, is not an adversary to MOM; instead, it is a competitor. So MOM has dealt with CCS the way Corleone dealt with Barzini and the Five Families. When it was in their mutual best interest (cf. "Benghazi") MOM and CCS joined forces for their mutual protection from their adversaries, buying off some of the GOPe (cf. "Trey Gowdy") and taking out others.

When their interests are not mutual, however, they compete--and right now, MOM knows that if Hillary! gets the nomination, CCS will overtake MOM as the controlling force in the government. So MOM has to take out Hillary! just as Michael Corleone "settled all the family business," in a way that ensures two things: that everyone knows MOM did it (so no other syndicate, such as Bernie's True Socialists, will try to compete with MOM), and that no one can prove MOM did it (so that the adversaries won't have any leverage with MOM).

Hence the Kabuki dance. Lynch doesn't indict, FBI stages a revolt, Lynch says she didn't want to interfere with the "people's choice in the election" but had to because of the FBI, Hillary--no longer exclamated--is told she will be indicted, Hillary stages a stroke and leaves the race, Obama visits Hillary in the hospital and proclaims his undying respect for his former SOS, Biden is drafted to enter the race and chooses Warren for his running mate, Bernie screams bloody murder but can't do anything about it, Hillary speaks at the convention from her (unneeded) wheelchair in support of Biden, and the CCS takes its money and moves to the 2017 version of Lake Tahoe, where Chelsea is prepped to take over the syndicate for her aging parents.

Buddy, the dog that was resident in the White House from 1997 to 2001, was found killed in the Clinton residence after their departure from the White House. Arkancide?

She is a psychopath and anyone, including a dog, is fair game if they displease her.

Of course if it were the only way to get away from her, I couldn't blame the dog for offing himself.

Hillary has been playing the “dumb ass” card since this thing started. “Wipe it with a cloth?” This way some low level staffer will take the blame and Hillary will be allowed to say “I simply didn’t know. I’m not an IT expert.” Remember Arlen Specter said the “internet is a series of tubes”?

The FBI needs to initiate an investigation into the DOJ itself because there is obviously some conspiracy going on in there to aide and abet Clinton in committing and covering up these crimes.


Yeah the constitution loving patriots at the FBI, ahem, are going to investigate the DOJ because they really don’t care about their pay checks and pensions the most. Just like they went after Holder and the ATF for dealing guns to Mexican cartels.

The sheeple could easily understand it if the facts were presented and the news cycle were not so fragmented and episodic.

The reason other things have been escalated such as Watergate and Iran Contra, is that the media kept hammering at them. Not so this. The sheeple have the the attention span of a ferret.
