It's more likely to have the opposite effect. The outcome of the investigation and DOJ handling have already been determined (no criminal action). The only factor involved is timing the release of that conclusion to maximize the benefit to Clinton.
Disagree. The FBI may (and should based on the public revelations) recommend an indictment. Yes, the DOJ will decline to prosecute, but a recommendation for indictment will be just as politically damaging.
Will the FBI meet this titanic test of integrity and the Rule of Law or will the Clintons once again elude accountability for their actions? If the FBI fails the test, then the veil will be lifted on the extent of the corruption and rot that permeates the highest levels of our government, including the career bureaucracy.
A failure by the FBI to recommend an indictment will be another political issue for Trump. He can point to corruption at the highest levels of government. The FBI will have to explain the immunity agreement granted to Pagliano who has taken the Fifth multiple times. And if Wikileaks, as promised by Julian Assange, to leak documents damaging to Hillary, it is a new ballgame.
Assange claims his "upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton" are enough to indict her, according to a recent interview with British ITV News.
"We've accumulated a lot of material about Hillary Clinton. We could proceed to an indictment," he said. These emails are "pending publication."
