I think what this really means is Obama gets to pick the nominee and it will not be Bernie. With Hillary out of the race he would have tremendous presence and sway over the Democrat delegates at the convention.
This is not necessarily good news for Trump. Hillary is the weakest candidate the Dems have. However any candidate Obama picks will still have the stench of lawlessness and corruption that permeates the Democrat Party.
Now the good news, if Hillary is gone and Bernie does not get the nomination, his supporters will revolt.
They're already revolting.
Philadelphia needs to hire more cops.
I would agree with you....this is more about maneuvering the convention to a successful conclusion that the President agrees upon. Someone has the ‘free-card’ and is simply waiting there for the FBI conclusion.
Although, I would suggest that the conclusion may come the week after the convention....where the DNC has firm control and can meet to discuss the matter internally.
