I disagree. The move by Obama was theater. It was calculated to get the FBI to back off which was a mock show of support. At this point that will not happen. There’s been a series of leaks from the FBI through various individuals with standing along with the one that should have gotten everyone’s attention. When the meeting within the FBI that found enough evidence of criminality to proceed was leaked, the FBI made it plain the investigation was proceeding on a solid basis.
The leak from at least two sources that the FBI was going back to the original sources to confirm email classifications was another.
The information about the number of communication systems and their independence and isolation which required extraordinary effort to circumvent came from multiple sources.
Watch for more leaks. The FBI is building its case by laying the groundwork in public. If the Justus. Dept. fails to take action, the other leak from many sources is that the results of the investigation will be disclosed publicly.
I can’t imagine the outrage that’s coming. Trump will excoriate the Clintons. The media that so far has shown itself unable to ignore the car wreck that the Trump circus has become will play its part whether it wants to or not in destroying Hillary Clinton. While truly died hard mouth breathers will still vote for her, more are going to stay home and not vote.
The sharks are circling. Hillary may not get jail time. She more than likely will get a Petraeus hanging where he was never indicted yet still penalized.
Hillary’s trial in the court of public opinion started months ago. you may want to invest in popcorn stock because the demand is going to skyrocket.
Superb analysis, meatloaf! I agree with every word.
I agree the FBI is gathering plenty of evidence to warrant an indictment, but it still is going to fall to the DOJ to press forward with it. As is typical with this administration, they will delay the entire issue under the guise of “further verifications/investigation needed,” and there’ll be no further discussions on it because, after all, it’s “still under investigation.” They will then offload it with a quiet, data-dump release stating there’ll be no indictment.
Hillary will not face indictment mainly because if she faces justice, so will other members of Obama’s administration. The administration will accept the short-term tumult over the no-indictment reaction as favorable to the bright light of investigative scrutiny shining on him.
The reaction will be loud, but as with the decision to let Lois Lerner slide, it’ll be quickly forgotten.
I wish it were different... but Hillary will skate.
