I looked for the report on the NYT’s website. Could not find it. Not saying it is not there I am saying Daily Caller should have provided a link.. :-)

That being said, I wonder what their game is? And who is behind it?

I cannot imagine the NYT’s putting pressure on Lynch to indict by suggesting her credibility is on the line if she does not indict. Agree or not (I don't), she has a “sterling” reputation from both sides of the aisle. A reputation she seems to value.

The other, more probable explanation is to put more pressure on her to take an action which will delay the entire investigation into next year, after the election.

If the latter, we know who is behind it. The issue then becomes collusion. Is someone at the NYT’s actively colluding with the Clinton camp printing reports meant to delay an active FBI, criminal investigation? I

It would be next to impossible, but if it could be proved, would there be any legal consequences? Would this fall under obstruction? Freedom of the Press is one thing; does that freedom extend to planting news stories with the intent to stop an investigation?

This reeks of desperation. By whom is anyone's guess.

On another front:

The general consensus is Obama wants Hillary in the WH to protect his "legacy" (wink, wink, nod, nod). More food for thought: Keeping in mind they are pushing the "foe to friend" angle which many will buy into, he might be between a rock & a hard place. The Clintons and Obamas loathe, despise, hate each other. Hillary holds a grudge.

If she is elected the balance of power shifts. She will have access to information about Obama, we can only dream of having. She will have the power to hold over him as long as she sits in the Oval Office.

Obama's rock-do nothing to stop an indictment, and let his attorneys do whatever it takes to keep him out of it.
His hard place--spend the next 4 to 8 years worrying what she will demand of him and what she is willing to do to extract his compliance.

Doesn't have to be anything major. Could be nothing more than "Sit down. Shut up. Speak only when spoken to. Then say what I tell you to say."

Their is no honor among theives. They are not partners in crime. They are 2 separate entities. Neither camp gives a flying f about the other. Each is in it for themselves. Until now Obama has had the upper hand. That will change if she is nominated and wins.

Regardless, we are in for a bumpy ride to November.
