Could it be that the FBI doesn’t trust the State Dept, thinks it will pass any details it learns about the investigation over to the Clintons? Giving them a leg up in trying to counter or stop it?

That’s possible - that the FBI doesn’t trust where the information is going.

That was my thought. If the FBI is in locked down mode then it could mean they are serious about investigating Hillary and don't want any leaks.

Hillary has said that she has about 1/5 of the Democratic delegates (the super delegates) committed to her which means to me that the only way she can lose the nomination is to drop out of the race.

Obama wants Biden not Hillary so this e-mail investigation is to get Hillary to drop out under threat of indictment. At least IMHO.

IMO that's just basic 'Sherlock Holmes' investigative protocol. You don't trust anybody or share your findings with anyone until you get a handle on what's going on. But as far as your suspicion goes I'd say that was highly warranted. The State Dept. has been jerking everyone around regarding Her Thighness. Congressional committees, FOIAs and the press have all been stonewalled and lied to.

This article is ridiculous though. The judge didn't order the FBI to share anything with anyone. I think that would be quite unusual for a judge to interfere that way in an ongoing investigation.
