Prediction:
FBI Recommends indictment
DOJ Indicts
Obama Pardons
All without a bump in the campaigning
Yep/maybe. Her numbers against Bernie are tight, I think Obama/Biden are working this together, but they still have to be careful as the electorate could suddenly swing to Comrade Sanders making a brokered convention impossible.
Most political pundits agree Obama doesn't want Clinton to be president
Common knowledge that both camps hate each other. Most of my friends still in Chicago wonder what dirt the Clintons have on Obama (that is the accepted reason for offering her Sec State).
Yes, but the DNC owes her too much and don't forget that list of skeletons in the closet that she has from all the years in politics. If they do it the way that I suggested, everyone that's involved wins.
FBI Recommends indictment - clears the FBI of any fallout.
DOJ indicts - clears the DOJ of any chance of being called partisan (over this particular decision). It also avoids the threats of FBI going out of control.
Obama pardons/grants clemency - Repays the debt to Clinton, keeps her out of jail, but makes her unelectable. Win for Obama and the DNC. Clinton goes into retirement with her permanent salary from being a Senator. It also sets up a DNC debt to the Clintons to be cashed in later by Chelsea as part of the deal to keep that blacklist out of the public eye.
It really is a win for everyone involved.
I think this takes Chelsea out too as her fingers are already dirty (Clinton's "foundation")
I'd like to see some defenative ruling for the email security failures. There also needs to be a return to reality, and personal responsibility, that should have been there all long. This insanity of a front running candidate, with all the questionable past behavior is simply mind blowing. The other plus here is that it is a nice step into the face of the media and all of the spin we have come to see as normal behavior. Time to bring a halt to the coverup, the corruption, and the lack of promised transparency........but that's just me.
The Intel Community has to be concerned, if this gets a wink and a nod then future Defense Attorneys will use Government inaction here to successfully sway juries.
This is actually starting to reach Watergate Levels of corruption/cover-up which is ironic in so many ways.
I agree with previous posts that Biden wins the nomination via a brokered convention, he can't debate worth a shit so the only way to get him in is to nuke the competition (Obama's standard campaign tactic).
Obama has wiped out the party machines that put him in the White House (Daley Machine is dead), so wiping the Clinton machine would just add another scalp to the wall. He'd also be in position to take Wassermann-Schultz out by putting one of his people into the seat. He's not going away soon, and I don't see him being nice after he leaves the White House.
