DID DOJ AND FBI BLOW OFF DEMOCRATIC SENATORS?
powerlineblog.com ^ | 10/31/16 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 10/31/2016 5:46:41 PM PDT by mathprof

On Saturday, four Democratic Senators sent a letter addressed jointly to Loretta Lynch and James Comey, on the newly-discovered Hillary Clinton emails. They recited Democratic Party talking points and demanded fast action from the agencies. I haven’t seen the actual letter, but this description seems quite complete:

It is interesting that DOJ and the FBI presented a united front, and that the letter came from DOJ. It doesn’t respond to the Senators’ various demands, doesn’t comment on their talking points, and makes no promise as to when review of the new emails will be completed. Could it possibly be prior to the election? Perhaps, but no such assurance is being given at this point. Senators Leahy et al. didn’t get much for their effort.

Is Illary about to be thrown under the bus by 0? The fact that he isn't talking the party line about Comey trying to throw an election today is also telling.

Who knows.

Obama may be playing for time. He doesn’t know what the FBI has until one of his snitches throws him a line. He’s being non-committal until he knows the score — at which time either Hillary or Comey gets burned.

I think DOJ is taking over the “investigation”. If they come out in a few days and proclaim “nothing new here”, I wonder how the FBI will take it.

Obama has played this game more than once during his presidency. He goes out and says one thing in public while his minions in the bureaucracy are doing the opposite of what he states. In this case, I'm sure the compromised criminal Lynch is putting heat on Comey to whitewash this quickly, at Obama's behest no doubt.

Yep. The obvious clue is Podesta’s friend was put in charge of the DOJ work. Surprise, Surprise. It’s Lynch’s version of Comey tapping McCabe to lead the FBI’s original investigation.

They'll take a leak on it.

Obama may start to find out what everyone has read if the missing 33K emails get dropped by WikiLeaks this week.

I think you are right. I think the big problem Hillary has is that the computer was looked at by new York child crimes unit and the Clintons and Obama do not have an inside man cooperating with them. they have not a clue what was seen and not reported up the chain of command. I am guessing that if Obama does nothing to obstruct there is nothing problematic for him. Obama has never been her friend the only reason he has covered for her is that he is in some way compromised by Hillary and bills crimes.

I think the DOJ is going to be trying to push the FBI to just wrap things up while claiming they investigated, and then destroy the lap top and declare it over by the weekend.

I am hoping they don't get away with it, and I don't think they will, but I really expect them to try. Could get ugly.

Leahy wants quick action on possible leaked emails. That’s rich.

Every accusation the Rats have been making over the last couple of days have been thoroughly focus-group tested to see which one(s) will minimize the electoral damage.It’s also possible (but unlikely,IMO) that iLLary has genuine fears of criminal prosecution so at least some of those accusation might constitute a form of jury tampering.

I read earlier today that the AG ran into BillyBob yesterday in Chappaqua.
