No matter what happens a sizable number of people will say it is political.

The bottom line that is being lost in all of this is that what Hillary demanded her staff set up, and she used, was by it’s very nature illegal. What Hillary received and had her staff send to her was illegal. What Hillary DID NOT turn over was illegal. When Hillary and her staff decided what was demanded by law to be retained and turned over as public documents that was illegal.

As usual, the issue has become far more complicated and the talking points have made it into an argument about technicalities, but the underlying problem with all of this is that IT WAS ILLEGAL. We already know that.

I don’t see ANY WAY the FBI does not recommend charges on this. This is one of the core missions of the FBI - to protect America’s secrets. If they don’t recommend charges this would be a defacto admission of what we already know - the double standard for politics and like the housing crisis - some people are too big to fail.

I have maintained faith from the beginning that they would do the right thing and recommend charges. The real politics will start and end with the prosecutors, but simply based on what we know there are multiple felony counts that were committed by a whole host of people - not just Clinton. Frankly, people at the State Department also committed felonies by not reporting her server or or sending emails. Consider - the secret emails were received by subordinates on the state server. They were sent on the state server to the clinton server. If they removed the classification headings each of those is a felony count. The evidence trail on all of this exist on the state department server because there is no way the intelligence agencies who sent data would email it directly to a private server.

Guess we will see how this plays out, but there is little doubt this has and will damage her and the democrat brand in this election.
