what we’re seeing is the latest salvo in the back and forth between Hillary, sometimes the White House and normally the FBI but just recently also the NSA. Keep in mind Petraeus wasn’t charged and subsequently indicted either. He still went before a judge and was sentenced.
Hillary’s criminality is way beyond anything Petraeus did. The FBI found out about Hillary’s private email server when they interviewed Guccifer after he was jailed in Romania about two years ago. Guccifer hacked Blumenthal’s email account and read Hillary’s emails.
An NSA source recently revealed that Blumenthal somehow accessed highly classified information via an “unknown” source. His emails quoted the material verbatim. That tells you Hillary’s long time business associate is also on the hook.
An older FBI leak revealed that the FBI is conducting a two pronged investigation. One is focused on the emails. The other is focused on the pay-to-play scheme Hillary ran as SoS that funneled bribes into the Clinton foundations in return for the influence she exerted on behalf of the players. The next shoe to drop may be mention of the IRS due to the tax evasion.
With Hillary’s aides due to receive subpoenas in May, the scandal details should break in May and June when the FBI investigation is scheduled to wrap up. Sometime this Summer expect Donna Shalala to resign from the Clinton foundations when she gets her subpoena.
The upshot is one way or another Hillary will be out of the running for president well before the Democrat convention. My best guess is that Hillary’s health will worsen due to the ministrokes and she’ll be forced to withdraw. That will take Obama out of the hot seat and he can preserve his legacy.
I appreciate your analysis. Why would a Democrat POTUS, a Democrat AG, and an all Democrat Grand Jury indict the Democrat nominee for POTUS at a time when it will be very difficult for someone else to start up a campaign,
especially when it appears that Trump will oppose the Democrat, and he is, to say the least, a wild card?
IS there information that suggests Hillary provided Blumenthal with NSA data? The usual media spin implies B sent classified info to H, not that he received it, and that his source was an old intel hand named Drumheller (conveniently now deceased). But I am very suspicious that H sent raw intel to B so he could explain it to her or otherwise exploit it for profit. That would ramp up the charges to espionage.

How many quid pro quos, permutations, kickbacks, national security breaches? No wonder they have 150 extra FBI agents working on this.

The List of Laws broken: Hillary Clinton's Email and Server Scandal: Summary Review and Recommendations
and now the NSA, Hillary-Blumenthal connection: Hillary Has an NSA Problem
Bryan Pagliano was just granted immunity from prosecution for testifying. 'Guccifer' got the entire ball rolling on the Hillary Clinton email/server investigation...so, perhaps, he knows more and may also receive a deal for testifying. Things are heating up, and now Bolton is saying the FBI is going to 'explode' if there isn't an indictment.
You know, I was thinking, is this a Line in the Sand for all Patriotic Americans? If absolutely nothing happens, is this a sign that the whole federal system is so inexorably broken that it will be our patriotic duty to water the tree of liberty? A new president is not going to fix this.
We're either a Nation of Laws, or We are Not.
If we are not, then Is it Time?
"What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, Paris, 13 Nov. 1787
Loretta Lynch, We're either a Nation of Laws, or We are Not. . It's your call.
