The importance of this story is NOT in the information it provides about Clinton, which should be harmful to her; rather it is the fact that sources high in the FBI are happily leaking it. They’re putting down a marker....either Clinton gets indicted, or the whole story gets leaked...creating a huge problem for the DoJ

You’ve touched on something that I wondered about while reading the story. Catherine Herridge (sp?) has certainly been getting some interesting information lately. I commend her efforts. However, I can’t help but believe that these leaks are, at least, being allowed by the FBI organization. If they weren’t “ok”, the leaks would have been shut down. So that begs the question, why are these leaks allowed? You’ve offered a very plausible explanation.

My pet theory is FBI Director James Comey is a very honest man and is stunned by the extent of the Clinton Crime Family's list of felonies, HRC in particular. He's not sure that Obama’s chosen Attorney General Loretta Lynch will recommend prosecution, so he's leaking bits and pieces of the investigation to the Media. The veiled threat is: if you try to spare Hillary by not prosecuting her for numerous felonies, then this whole sordid episode will appear in the Media and the entire Obama Administration will be at risk of a backlash by the American people in an election year.

AG Loretta Lynch is not an ideologue like former AG Eric Holder was. Holder would obfuscate and not prosecute Hillary, but Lynch is more of a career bureaucrat and more amenable to prosecuting. Yes, Obama would permit it because the Clintons are loathed and despised by Barry, Moochelle, and ValJar (Valerie Jarrett).
