| Mike Mukasey: If Champ Blocks a Beest Indictment, Expect Resignations |
| 2016-01-31 |
| [Breitbart] Monday on Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzburg Show," while discussing the FBI investigation of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's handling of classified material on an unsecured server during her tenure as secretary of state and possible charges, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey said President Barack Obama would face Watergate-level resignations if he attempted to block a recommended indictment. Mukasey said, "I have confidence in the FBI. I have confidence in people at the Justice Department, some of them, at any rate, who are involved in this investigation--that is people in the national security division. It's less a matter of confidence than it is a matter of believing that people, out of self-preservation, would not want to be seen to be sweeping this under the rug." When host Malzberg asked if Obama could protect Clinton, Mukasey said, "The fact is that the president can direct the attorney general not to bring charges. The attorney general works for the president and the president can order that ... Although I can't believe that you wouldn't get people resigning in the wake of something like that, the same way that we did at the time of Watergate." |

| #12 I'm pretty sure as P2K noted yesterday, that the DNC can pull of a brokered convention or an amnestry for delegates who jump ship from Hildebeest. And voila, my Uncle Joe/fauxcahontis scenario still works. Remember, these are democrats so rules don't matter if it's serious. |

| #11 It was over classified. "Gee, this stuff sure looks to me like its overclassified. So I guess there's no harm in me giving it to that nice young Russian lady I met at the bar. Besides, she looks trustworthy." |

| #9 Time is running short for Uncle Joe or similar to jump into the race to "save" the party. If it is unavoidable that Hillary is going to burn then someone else will have to step up cause they can't leave it to crazy uncle Bernie. |

| #8 Bernie has changed his tune. The first debate he said he was tired of hearing about Hillary's emails. Now he's saying it's a very serious situation. What did he and Obama discuss? Could be he smells blood in the water and is moving in for the kill. |

| #6 Assuming for the moment that there are conscientious careerists at the FBI (and I concede this is possible), please explain why Champ would give 2 shits about them quitting. Now, that said, the only reason the FBI is investigating Hillary is because Champ has directed them to, and the only reason he would call them off is as a result of a deal that would turn a Hillary administration into a 3rd Obama term. |

| #5 Time will tell. If Hilldabeast can get away with: 1) Not marked classified at the time. So if I cover the markings (top and bottom) and put it in an email then I haven't violated the law? Righttt. 2) It was over classified. Given that compartments have subcompartments to limit to as few who have a need to know as possible? How stupid is the propagandist that the beast is paying to come up with this manure? |

| #4 Catherine Herridge has been all over it. Napolitano has discussed the implications. Special Report covers it. |

| #3 Lets hope that Ryan hasn't sold out completely. It occurs to me that most Americans have no idea about how serious a breech of compartmentalized security really is nor how ludicrous the claim of "over classification" in this context really is. Somebody better start explaining it. The fox news guys are clueless which is not surprising since none of them have any relevant experince. |

| #2 Yea, so, more unreliables to be replaced with loyal Party members. |
