Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was "A Real Bombshell"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/28/2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 10/28/2016 1:41:19 PM PDT by GilGil

CARL BERNSTEIN: Well, there's no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that's where we are...

Is it a certainty that we won't learn before the election? I'm not sure it's a certainty we won't learn before the election.

One thing is, it's possible that Hillary Clinton might want to on her own initiative talk to the FBI and find out what she can, and if she chooses to let the American people know what she thinks or knows is going on. People need to hear from her...

“You need to look behind you and see that gigantic wave cresting. It’s just about to hit. This is happening because Trump is winning already. People don’t want to go to jail because the Trump administration finds this once it takes office. Attorney General Giuliani won’t screw around. This is what victory looks like. Turn around and look, you won’t be able to miss it.”


This.

Comey wouldn’t DARE do this unless he thought that he’d be charged with obstruction of justice by Trump’s DoJ. This was apparently found by NYC police - and I’m betting that they copied the emails. Fibbies had no choice, especially Comey.

That said, I think that Kristie Kreme will be the AG, and Rudy the head of DHS. I like Sheriff Clarke to replace Comey at FBI. All three are no nonsense.

Didn’t say you said that. It was just my impression. Glad to have you set it right. I hope you are right in your prognostication (Trump by 5-10 points)..

You are missing the point. We just need to win baby right now. Some of you have unreasonable expectations, what an investigation, grand jury, trial and sentencing in a week? Obama is gone in 2 months, NOTHING he can do about pardoning her, she has not been convicted or charged. This is a checkmate, done, over. The calls for her to resign could be happening over the weekend. then you have a backdoor negotiations on who the next candidate is. Down ballot, forget it, a wipeout. This was a turning point. God has shown his providence on the USA.

“Time for a special prosecutor and a grand jury.”


I spoke with a friend about this around 2 weeks ago. He was a federal prosecutor in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. He said that based on what Comey said on July 5, that this was a no brainer - refer it to a grand jury, and let them decide if there is enough evidence to go to trial. He told me that he had prosecuted 180 people, some of whom were VERY hard to pin evidence to - and that this was an incredibly easy case.

Which leads me to my theory - there’s enough dirt on Comey to jail him on obstruction of justice charges. Now that Trump is looking increasingly like a winner, he was just covering his arse. Doing this shove’s Hillary’s campaign off of the cliff, and Comey can, as a reward, simply be allowed to resign, effective the moment that Sheriff Clarke is confirmed as his successor. Just my $0.02.

He’s got plenty - he made $6 million one year working for Lockheed.

Let the chips fall where they may on him - IMHO, he aided and abetted the corruption, the exact opposite of what the FBI exists to do. FBI? Sheesh, how about ICD (Infidelity, Cowardice, Dishonesty)?

Agree completely! A sudden change of heart from the political class? Yeah, right. They want to get on the right side of the fence!

The Devil is in the (sometimes trivial though prurient) Details.

This would remind me of the ironic scenarios delineated in The Screwtape Letters, or That Hideous Strength (both by CSL).

“I’ve got good money (a little deflated by Obama’s printing, but still...) that says Huma is fervently checking on flights to Qatar.”


Wasn’t that her plane that caught fire in Chitcago? :>)

Being delusional is not "playing to win". And if I ever did grow a pair, it would be a medical miracle.

Hitler, Mussolini and Saddam Hussein all got their comeuppance during wartime. We're a long way off from the conditions that allowed the good folks in Italy and the allied forces in Iraq to snuff Mussolini and Hussein (Adolph killed himself).

And as for getting real, just look at the history of this country over just the past 8 years. Based upon that history, there is absolutely NO reason to believe that anything will happen to Hillary or any other Democrat, at least while there's a Marxist in the WH. And even if Trump does win (which is looking better with each passing day), it could take years to purge the DOJ of all of the corrupt people put in place by Obama and his minions.

“She is calling Obama right now asking for a pardon. We will soon find out how close they really are.”


Double-edged sword there for Barky. If he does it, she CANNOT be prosecuted for any federal crimes (assuming it is a blanket pardon, and it’d pretty much HAVE to be). That means that she MUST cough up ALL evidence or risk jail time...and that evidence would implicate Barky.

Of course, if she’s about to be charged, I think that she’ll sing like a bird and implicate dozens or hundreds of people, just to escape prison...and that’d screw over Barky, too.

Yeah, Barky, karma’s a bitch. Lie down with dogs, and you get fleas. Couldn’t happen to a nicer crypto-Communist, Moslem faggot.

I am forced to agree with you.

The only glimmer of hope I see in this is that there might - might - be enough Wild Cards in the corrupt deck that the Communist-In-Chief and his Muslim Minions may not be able to control every outcome.

“Bad karma comes back to destroy her”


There’s a nice little old lady living in the same complex as my mother, who has a female dog. Yup, it’s name is Karma. I laugh my ass off every time I see her or it, but this particular karmic bitchiness is good for days of the giggles.

Hillary is DONE. Election OVER. Get used to “President Trump!”

Not any more.
