Clinton Scandal Only Deepens — So Why Is Trump, Not Hillary, Targeted For Investigation?

Corruption: Amid the trivial fault-finding by the media of President Trump's every move, it's important to note that the very same pundits who now rip Trump have completely ignored the growing scandal of Hillary Clinton's pay-for-play tenure as secretary of state. It's reasonable to wonder why no charges have yet been filed, yet the media, blinded by their Trump hatred, seem strangely incurious.
The legal investigative think tank Judicial Watch recently released 448 pages of documents that it dug up from the U.S. State Department, the fruit of months of Freedom of Information Act requests and document-digging. The documents are damning, showing even more instances of Hillary Clinton performing official favors for those who donated to the Clinton Foundation and certain political campaigns.
To put it even more bluntly, the emails make a prima facie case for a criminal prosecution of Clinton. As Judicial Watch notes:
"In July 2009, in reference to the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, Clinton Global Initiative head Doug Band told (Huma) Abedin that she "Need(s) to show love" to Andrew Liveris, the CEO of Dow Chemical (DOW). Band also asked for Liveris to be introduced to Hillary, "and have her mention both me and wjc." Dow gave between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative. Band also pushes for Clinton to do a favor for Karlheinz Koegel, a major Clinton Foundation contributor, who wanted Hillary Clinton to give the 'honor speech' for his media prize to 'Merkel.' "

Why? Because the Democrats have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

I think Trump is rope-a-doping. Lulling Hillary and the Dems into a state of false security.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
a) Because Chris Wray hasn't been confirmed as FBI Dir. by the full Senate (yet).
b) Because Deputy AG Rosenstein hasn't resigned (which would allow the 3rd in command at DOJ to appoint a SP to investigate Klinton Krimes Inc.).
c) Because everyone in DC is scared of Arkancide.

Why, you ask? because we have a good old boy for a A.G. that is scared to death of the clinton machine.
A former senator investigating another former senator? are you serious?

To: rfp1234
a) Because Chris Wray hasn't been confirmed as FBI Dir. by the full Senate (yet). After Wray is confirmed, Trump needs to tell him to fire McCabe. If he refuses, fire Wray and get a pitbull in there like Rudy or Sekulow. We the People are fed up and are taking No Quarter! The American people demand that justice be done with these criminals. For the love of God, how much criminality does it take before anyone investigates?!
The last paragraph of the article bears repeating:
"Collusion? There's plenty of it. As we've noted repeatedly in the last year, the conflicts of interest and criminal collusion between Hillary Clinton's State Department, the Clinton Foundation and the Russians, among others, are numerous and profound. They warrant a thorough investigation. Why Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been tasked to look into the pathetically trivial meetings between the Trump camp and a handful of Russians not a violation of any law we're aware of is inexplicable." And Mueller and the left are wetting their pants looking into Donald Trump, Jr and Manafort? Enough!
Mueller has to recuse himself because of:
28 CFR 600.7 - Conduct and accountability: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/600.7
28 CFR 45.2 - Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/45.2
Recuse: to remove (oneself) from participation to avoid a conflict of interest. So, does Mueller have a conflict of interest? Well, duh.
Why hasn't Mueller resigned yet? If he doesn't resign, Trump is obliged to fire him. Mueller is straight out breaking two laws just by accepting the position of special prosecutor. When will this insanity stop?

Trump and Session should appoint a special prosecutor to look into HRC classified info crimes and Obama unmasking/ spying, then maybe Mueller will stand down as it is a Mutually Assured Destruction gambit. Mueller is so jacked up with partisan hacks that this might make them see the light.
Trump said after the election he felt sorry for her and you don’t go after political enemies after an election, but they sure are. So fight fire with fire
You start talking special prosecutor and grand jury for Hillary, rice, Comey and watch how fast Mueller packs his bags
In the end that is all we want. Election over, now let’s govern

because either 1) they will be murdered by the DNC
and the Clinton Foundation (protected by the FBI)
...or... 2) they are in on it (including the murder of Rich
and the other half dozen witnesses).

In the end, that may be all you want, Jimmy the Snake. And, it may be all that is wanted by a great many people.
But, for me, and many others, it will NOT be enough. It will never be enough until the whole lot of them are arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to spend a significant amount of time in prison for their near destruction of this nation. That includes Zero, Killary, WJC, Lynch, Holder, Abedin, Weiner, ValJar, Susan Rice, Comey, and all the rest. ALL OF THEM.
The ONLY way to have the requisite impact is to very clearly show to the world that we are serious about reclaiming the nation given us by the Founders.

"It's reasonable to wonder why no charges have yet been filed, yet the media, blinded by their Trump hatred, seem strangely incurious." Jeff Sessions seems to be strangely incurious, as well.

With all the emails and evidence against Hitlery why no indictments? Because, for all intents and purposes, we don't have an Attorney General.

True that
Just a little bluebird for you Paul Ryan was on the passenger manifest of the private plane Bill flew to the Lynch meeting on.
Source is an old confidant of Bill and Hill, he has not been wrong yet
When this blows people are going to take their own way out rather than the gallows or firing squad for treason & sedition. Gonna be a bumpy ride but the end is getting nearer every day. Trump got a LOT from Comey and he is drawing them out of cover
Stay tuned
Watch and see

Because Jeff sessions isn’t doing his job. In fact no one probably knows exactly what he is doing. He certainly isn’t doing any investigating and prosecuting of any Obama Clinton scandals. Nor is he throwing any corrupt Democrats in jail. So even though President Trump continues to tweet why are these people not being investigated and prosecuted neither sessions nor the incompetent moron Rosenstein or doing anything about it. Both of them should be fired.
