Absolutely. This is nothing new for them. They probably get a big kick out of setting up the media optics, then sitting back to watch the talking heads make fools of themselves. They've been doing it for decades.

A couple of weeks ago, I devoted a column to reflecting on the signal oddity of this campaign season. "There is no reason to believe," I wrote, "that the supreme oddity that has characterized this primary season has run its course." I expected, and expect, more of it.
And so it goes. I could not have imagined, two weeks ago, that Bill Clinton would delay a flight to arrange a private meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
Odd, what?
Pause to consider what happened: the sitting attorney general of the United States meets privately with the spouse of the subject of an ongoing FBI criminal investigation.
Yes, you can file it under "Impropriety, Appearance of."
It was not supposed to have come to the public's attention at all. "The FBI there on the tarmac instructed everybody: no photos, no pictures, no cell phones," said Christopher Sign, the enterprising local news reporter in Arizona who broke the story.
Why did Bill Clinton request the meeting? If Loretta Lynch is to be believed, it was to talk about his grandchildren, not Hillary.
That's so nice.
There was, and continues to be, considerable fury in response to the meeting — more, oddly enough, than has been gingered up for Hillary's behavior over Benghazi or her email scandal. But maybe, like Al Capone's tax troubles, this will be the straw that breaks the candidate's back.
Maybe.
Loretta Lynch ought to recuse herself from the case altogether. Instead she has said that she will "accept" whatever recommendation the FBI makes with respect to the investigation into Hillary Clinton's home-brew email server.
Does that mean that Hillary will be brought to justice over her willful compromising of national security?
Again, maybe. But those chickens have not yet hatched and it would be foolish to try to count them.
The whole saga of the Clintons' corruption has gone into overdrive in the last week or so. There was the damning report of the Benghazi committee. There was her "voluntary" 3-hour interview with the FBI on Friday.
There was tarmac-gate. Everywhere the volume in the Clinton corruption saga seems suddenly to have been turned up. After a period of quiescence, suddenly there is ceaseless activity.
And "what might be towards that this sweaty haste doth make the night joint laborer with the day?"
Quite possibly, not much. Rush Limbaugh, a close and canny observer of the Clinton crime family, suspects that we're all being played, yet again, by the Clintons. A flurry of activity, a cathartic purging of punditry, and then . . . nothing.
Andrew McCarthy has speculated along similar lines. Noting how various tactics can be deployed to delay or derail criminal investigations, he has outlined how this latest flurry of news might well be a deliberate strategy to "create appearance of thorough investigation, but assure no-charges outcome."
Still, it is a dangerous game that the Clintons are playing -- dangerous for the country, of course, but also for themselves. There is every chance that, whether or not she is indicted, Hillary will be weakened by the cloud of corruption that follows her as the cloud of dirt follows Charlie Brown's Pigpen.
And, who knows, it might even happen that the weight of the evidence will be too much for Hillary's supporters to countenance. A lot rests on the shoulders of FBI director James Comey. Will he follow the investigation where the evidence leads? Or will he bow to political pressure? It is not too much to say that the future of the rule of law in this country depends on his decision. It's likely that we will know in a matter of weeks.
Remember these are people with entire staffs of minions to do their least bidding at the snap of their fingers. So the real question is what would REQUIRE them to personally met face to face?
RE Comey:
If he’s an American and a patriot, then yes, he’ll do his job.
If he’s a liberal, then not so much.
I have confidence that he will do what everyone in Versailles on the Potomac does best - talk, but no action. He can join the “Trey Gowdy School of Unfulfilled Promises” and the “Paul Ryan University of Conservative Principles Not Defended”.
We should expect nothing but heartache and oppression from the liars, thieves and perverts that infest the former swampland.
Yes.
Our government is 98% felon wannabes.
Thrn deserve no respect and will be treated accordingly following CW-II.
We are talking about the Clinton Crime Family, after all. Of course they will get away with it. They have almost the entire federal government covering for them, and the mainstream media carrying their water.
The United States has ceased to be a constitutional republic.
You’re right: If she is elected POTUS we as a nation will have reached the point of no return.
No, they will not. God is not mocked!
Absolutely. This is nothing new for them. They probably get a big kick out of setting up the media optics, then sitting back to watch the talking heads make fools of themselves. They've been doing it for decades.
so easy to get caught up in people and situations and outcomes, like one too many roller coaster rides after eating carnival food and soda.
Answer to title question:
Yes! God is in control and at some point they will answer for it.
This just in....a bear was spotted taking a dump in the woods.
The question for me is just who is NOT playing the whole citizenry of the US? The Clintons, GOPe, democrat party, Obama administration, every political entity in the country, the MS Media by print, radio, TV, and any other avenue available. The whole Hollywood industry. The education racketeers from book publishers to every institution of learning. Wall Street, Foreign countries and so many more. And one of the most influential of the players is the religious industry who is right in the mix as well. Think the take they get from facilitating the huge influx of immigrants who will be a burden on the whole tax paying country. And so on, and on. Donald Trump is fighting all of them whether he realizes or not the ones less obvious to his experience. America has a chance for survival as I have known it if he is elected. Otherwise, very iffy.
Based on prior performance and the collective stupidity of the American voter - YES!
I agree with you.
Will they get away with it???? Do wild bears crap in the woods???? They’ve gotten away with everything corrupt thing they’ve ever done and all it seem to do was make them richer and more empowered to keep it up. A sign of the times folks....the bad guys keep winning and winning. I would like to think, and I have prayed that this election will be the death knell to these two but I ain’t holding my breath.
I hope you’re right.
You got that right. It sure is.
A “special Prosecutor” would drag this at least 2 more years down the road.
I guess we will find out.
“Crooked Hillary” is a great name, but “PigPen” is better - wherever she goes, cloud of dirt and corruption.
If they indict, then Hillary is gone and a much weaker Bernie or Biden and a crippled Democrat party to go against Trump.
If they do not indict, Trump can put maximum pressure on crooked Hillary and win that way.
The key point is for conservatives to ensure that maximum outrage and political pressure is put on the system to punish Hillary or overhaul our corrupt justice system that refuses to indict an obvious criminal.
We know the mass media will give Hillary and the FBI a pass, but the American people must hold their feet to the fire.
