I have telling my wife and friends for weeks that this would be coming down.

Obama/Jarrett does not want Hillary to be President. They want a hand-picked puppet they can control. Hillary was picked to be SOS to keep her on a leash as long as possible, and for foreign policy failures to fall in her lap.

There is one thing Obama/Jarrett need from Hillary though, and that is her loyal supporters. It can't appear that Obama/Jarrett were behind Hillary's demise, or it would likely rip the democratic party in 2. Many Hillary supporters would not vote in November, or possibly even vote for a Donald Trump; therefore, Obama/Jarrett need the appearance of "clean hands". It must appear that not only did they not encourage an indictment of Hillary but actively opposed it and supported her.

Reading between the lines, you can see the set-up coming:

In October, Obama said in a 60 Minutes interview that Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state didn't pose a national security threat. This was a very public statement to show his "support". Some in law enforcement were upset that Obama had interjected himself into the investigation but Mission accomplished. If he really wanted her to be exonerated why would he risk an apparent conflict of interest by making such a statement?

Obama has met several times privately with Clinton since she started running, which rankled Bernie Sanders because of Obama's perceived support for Hillary in the race when Presidents don't support primary candidates. Mission accomplished.

It upset Sanders to the point that he demanded and got a meeting himself with Obama in late January. He went in wanting an assurance that Obama would "play fair" and not show favoritism or support for Hillary. Sanders left the meeting saying he was sure that Obama would be "even-handed". He was certainly told more than that. He must have been told that Obama would be supporting her publicly but that it would be for public appearances only because Hillary was in deep trouble, legally, and that neither Obama or Sanders should be anywhere near the e-mail scandal when it blows up.

This explains why there was not even a whimper from Sanders when Obama DID publicly endorse Hillary through his press secretary, Josh Ernest, a few days later; otherwise it makes no sense whatsoever. If Bernie was mad about a "perceived" support of Hillary from Obama would he not be outraged at a public support of her? Especially when Obama supposedly told him just a few days before that he would be "even-handed".

Make no mistake, it was a very public endorsement of Hillary from Obama through his Press Secretary. There is absolutely NO way Ernest makes that comment without instructions to do so, even though he tried to downplay as not an official endorsement or something Obama had said. When has a President's Press Secretary EVER revealed his boss's private thoughts or opinions on something that was not for public consumption? Did he have to walk back those comments? No. Did Obama contradict anything his press secretary said? No. Did Sanders say a peep about any of this? No. Mission accomplished.

Now Obama is clearly on the record showing support for Hillary. Hillary is effusive in her praise of Obama, thinking by doing this, she is garnering Obama's continued support. But the rug is about to be pulled from under her.

Sanders thinks he just needs to play along, stay alive in the race and avoid attacking her on the e-mail issue so when she falls the nomination will fall to him. Of course that is exactly what Obama/Jarrett want him to think as they need him to play his part, which is create some opposition to her so the democratic party hasn't already been 100% unified behind her by the time she is indicted.

VP Joe Biden will appear at that time to "save the day" for the democrats, giving them a "mainstream" alternative to Sanders. With Obama's support, Biden will become the nominee. Obama/Jarrett/Biden can say "Hey, we are as shocked and devastated as are all Hillary supporters...but we must come together for the sake of the party and country...we can't let the republicans win!"

Of course, Biden is an absolute clueless idiot, but a useful idiot for the Obama/Jarrett purposes. To get Obama's support he will have to take the Obama/Jarrett hand-picked VP nominee to be on the ticket. Mission Accomplished.

Should Joe Biden somehow be elected...he should sleep with not one eye but with both eyes wide open.
