Nobody asks the obvious question: why the leaks from multiple FBI sources now?
The answer, for those who play checkers instead of chess, is that this reflects the realization among investigators - the troopies doing the actual work - that this is being dragged out. Expansion doesn’t mean progress, it means resetting the clock to make sure a recommendation on an indictment comes AFTER the election.
Obama’s deal with Hillary is that he will delay an indictment until after the election. If she wins, he will pardon her “for the sake of national unity” and as a way to blame the Pubbies; if she loses - she’s on her own and he’ll take a hands off approach and let the FBI do its thing.
These leaks of non-specific details is the way principled people with access to classified info maintain their non-disclosure pledge - while making a protest. It’s a balancing act.
Nobody in government resigns out of principle anymore, so you can forget that.
Well shoot, I had to go and read your post.
