The feud between the FBI and the Department of Justice over whether or not to proceed with charges against Hillary Clinton in the ongoing email investigation just took an unexpected turn.
Recall that one month ago, we found out that on one hand, the FBI is seemingly hell-bent on chasing down every possibly angle involving Hillary's email abuse, when we reported that one hundred forty-seven FBI agents have been deployed to chase down clues and leads and that the FBI has accelerated the investigation because officials want to avoid the possibility of announcing any action too close to the election. A former Clinton staffer is also cooperating with that investigation, and it’s believed Clinton herself will be questioned.
The flipside has been the Department of Justice which has been stonewalling the probe every step of the way. It hasn't been alone in its unwillingness to pursue Hillary: on April 1, the state department announced that it is suspending its probe of "top secret" Clinton emails.
The divergence of these two paths, one which wants to get to the bottom of Hillary's email probe and the other which is dead set on blocking it, has led online betting markets such as PredictIt to put the the odds of federal charges being filed against Hillary at record lows.
Which, paradoxically, could be bad news for Hillary.
On Friday, US Senator Chuck Grassley who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, and who has pushed for additional scrutiny of Clinton’s email use during her tenure as secretary of state, dropped a dramatic "hint" during a breakfast meeting with the Des Moines A.M. Rotary club when he suggested that the FBI "might leak", hypothetically-speaking of course, reports of its investigation into presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.

Obama must be thinking “how do I make a similar amount of money after leaving office as Bill Clinton?” Since he probably doesn’t intend to hold any offices that would allow him to shake down foreign donors like Hillary did, maybe he plans to demand a share of Hillary’s stash (where did that missing $6 billion go?) in return for squelching any prosecution (and giving her a pardon if she thinks it necessary—if she wins in November she won’t need one since she will control the DOJ).
His federal and Illinois state Senate pensions, book royalties and advances from his and Michelle’s memoirs, speaking fees plus corporate board salaries will supply the Obama’s with many millions.
His federal pension alone is $203,700 a year, $20,000 a year for Michelle plus $150,000 a year funding for staff, lifetime Secret Service protection and free health insurance.
Well, there's the "small matter" of Federal agents being perceived as "legitimate", versus being mere gunthugs for the realm.
