Washington’s FBI division may have the top guys, but it’s also close to the White House. The report can be accelerated or suppressed, IMHO, at the behest of Obama.
It’s not like the old days when that crazy old coot J. Edgar ran his own operation, not always cooperating with the WH.
This clumsy sentence structure is intentional. The narrative flow slides by the fact that it is composed of two separate statements:
1. I never sent any classified material
2. ...nor did I receive any marked classified.
Ergo, to wit, the purpose is to avoid denying that she received classified material which had had the markings removed.
So, who removed the markings (matters politically, but not legally) - and at whose behest were the markings removed before sending to her?
If your intent was to be clear, the phrasing would be: "I neither sent nor received classified material by email." Let's see if Gowdy asks her to make the clear rephrased statement.
She's trying to solve the political problem by a public utterance without causing legal troubles for herself. The only protection for her legal problem is a political one: WH instructions to the FBI to slow things down.
My wacko prediction: this is to allow Obama time to decide whether he wants a supreme court appointment (for him or Moochelle) from Hildabeast. These leaks are to signal she doesn't want to; continuing leaks show he is serious.
Maybe Trump should offer to mediate!
