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.

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.

Lerner was an Obama ally; Hillary isn’t and never was.

Interesting ideas. The psychopaths who run the Democrat Party would cut their own mothers’ throats for a dime. If Hillary proves a liability to them, they’ll toss her to the wolves in a second. She knows it, and she’s prepared to fight.

SS agents, who covered/protected JFK, LBJ, Clintoon and Obama did not have much respect for these rats.

If Hillary were to be indicted HOW MUCH re Obama/Jarrett would be dragged out in the open?

Absolutely nothing is "difficult to understand" about this scandal. Hillary set up an illegal email system to run her SoS and Clinton Foundation business free from any oversight. The two streams were intricately and illegally linked, as the inflow of money to her husband and her foundation influenced her actions as the Secretary of State. As a result of that jaw-droppingly criminal activity, the illegal email system facilitated her trafficking of classified information over non-secured channels, exposing that information to interception by our enemies.

There, that was easy to explain. The media uses the "difficult to explain" excuse to cover up their failure to cover the story for partisan political reasons.

If Hillary is indicted...that alone will bring the whole Democratic party to its knees...no way to recover from that by 2016. They will be toast...

If Hillary isn't indicted...that alone will bring the whole Intelligence community to its knees...no way to recover from that until someone very high is made a very big example of.

Popcorn?

At least she SHOULD know it. She is is completely incompetent if she does not understand it.

The FBI lost all credibility in the Richard Jewell case. After that, nothing can redeem them.

A ton of generals have already been sacrificed. That old broad ain’t worth it.

I have no doubt that Hillary could offer some information on Obama and Jarrett, but she was always kept at a distance from the inside operations of Obama’s/Jarrett’s White House.

Here is how this is different:

Whether you disagree with it or not (and let me make it clear that I DO disagree so please don’t reply that I think Lerner is innocent), the FBI did not find any evidence of criminal behavior on the part of Lois Lerner.

The case with Hillary Clinton is significantly different in that the FBI (allegedly) HAS found criminal behavior.

Clinton has so brazenly broken the law that the FBI must insist on prosecution or lose all credibility.

The most serious problem with this is not that Hillary is a crook. We've all known that for decades. The worst part is that being dishonest and untrustworthy are positives with democrat voters. They want a crook because they expect to receive their share of whatever she steals.

I’d be really interested to see how the FBI would “revolt”.

I just can’t imagine it. There have been so many principles violated already in so many ways these last 7 years. I just can’t see this breaking the camel’s back.

I’m skeptical about a revolt....I’m sure they’ll be furious, but the most important consideration of any government employee is to protect their pension.

Her being indicted won’t make a difference in whether the rule of law lives or not in this country since it has already been killed and violated multiple times in these last 7 miserable years.
