Hmmm... I wonder if Obama is (finally) in a lose-lose position here?
He does not want hilLIARy to be president, clearly... because once she has power and he doesn’t it will be off to Ft. Marcy Park for him...
But if he cuts her throat now, she takes him down with her.
This could be fun to watch.
Has this ever happened in the history of this country where a US candidate for President was under investigation? And not only that, KEPT running? Isn’t his just so telling though about the rampant corruption running in our government today? “Oh pay no mind to the corruption, who cares about that! You will vote for her!”

Any successor to Hillary has to get on the state ballots. The deadline for that must be coming up fast. My guess is it will be Trump vs. Sanders.
Actually, I feel the hatred between the two camps is tangible, but the goals are roughly aligned. But I think that Hillary is the last thing Obama is worried about now, truthfully. My feeling is that he’s concentrated right now on doing as much damage to this country as he can: Syrian (Jihadists) by the hundreds of thousands, Mexican illegals by the hundreds of thousands, international commitments (difficult to undo) by the dozen, incitement of blacks via BLM and a whole host of things. Infest this government with as many hidden rabid ideologues as possible and let them sap their way to destruction throughout their tenure (e.g., a “wise latina” and a Lesbo in the SC)
I really don’t think Hillary is in his calculus right now. He may just drop the hammer on her though just because she’s some white b!tch.
Time is running out to get on state ballot for the primaries. So the only way for the plan to work is to get Joe nominated at the convention. I am not sure how this works because for decades the convention in both parties has been a formality.
That Obama is just a suit-front is absolutely true. That the Obamas hate the Clintons, not so much. In vying for power, yes, but they share the same agendas, run by the same people, for the same reasons. Not a lot of room for dissention there.
MacDonald at Military Corruption is not exactly a gold plated source. His stock in trade is sexual gossip of senior officers and NCO’s, some of which turn out to be true. Additionally, I doubt that anyone in the Pentagon has a clue what is going on at the White House. The WH generally ignores the Pentagon on most things, especially on politics.
“Any successor to Hillary has to get on the state ballots. The deadline for that must be coming up fast. My guess is it will be Trump vs. Sanders.”
Look for Liz Warren (Liawatha) to appear out of nowhere. Ballots be damned, she will get on them.
Do not underestimate the rivalry. The two camps are vying for the same constituency, so they are direct competitors in their search for power. Like the Nazis and the Communists in 1930's Germany, they have to try to push each other out of the way in order to get to the same trough.
She won’t be dealing with the feds. It will be individual states. Thanks to Obama many are now controlled by Republicans.
Even WV’s legislature is conrtoled by Republicans for the first time in decades and the AG is Republican.
Liawatha will be pounding a lot of sand if the authorities in the states obey the law.
Isn’t this old conjecture
Biden has already said NO Run
When Trump takes the nomination, you will see obuma throw Hillary under the bus...
You don’t think obuma is going to let Hillary ruin what ‘legacy’ he has worked so hard for, to have her wipe it out?
It’s not Trump he’s worried about, it’s Hillary....she has the ‘goods’ on obuma before he ever went to the White House, that is what the Clintons do...it’s called ‘blackmail’....
>>>Any successor to Hillary has to get on the state ballots. The deadline for that must be coming up fast. My guess is it will be Trump vs. Sanders.<<<
I’m sure the DIMS could change their primary/convention rules and somehow get to an open convention...then roll out Uncle Joe and/or Fauxcohontas as their ticket...In 2002, the New Jersey DIMS dropped corrupt/indicted Bob Torricelli from the US Senate ticket and replaced him with Frank Lautenberg in October right before the election. Lautenberg won! I put nothing past these DIM crooks!
I think the direction of that decision was signalled when Biden said he would not run.
Too much credit. She's a marionette controlling a marionette.
excuse me, when he said he was not running. There is a difference. The decision could be superseded if Hussein does not get the required ironclad guarantees from Mrs. Bill. Democrats are okay with last minute substitutions. And they think they will win with whomever they proffer for “election.”
Deadlines have never been a problem for the political class, of either party. If any filing deadline is missed, one of their stooges will find a way around it. Or backdate whatever is needed to keep it kinda legal.
One fairly recent example:
In the 2002 New Jersey senate, Frank Lautenberg was substituted for Robert Torricelli despite a law forbidding it. Packed court just made it legal.
So a missed deadline is really nothing more than a speed bump is a long road.
I stand by my claim that Biden chose not to run strategically so that they can indict Hillary in the spring, and he can play white knight at the convention. No fight, no debates, no vetting, and lots of media love.
