#1 The FBI investigated only the alleged scam operation.
The attempted flight and successful flight of one of the two are not illegal actions in themselves. They are evidence of intent to defraud, but are not, in my opinion, indictable.
The connection with the DNC suggests irresponsibility on the part of the Representatives who hired them, and what has happened calls out for an investigation as to what classified information these people have been able to obtain.
But working for these Representatives is not a crime in itself.
Since a crime was committed at the DNC, namely the leak or theft of private or classified information, an investigation of whether these people are responsible for that crime seems reasonable, given the degree of moral turpitude that the FBI claims to have found about them.
Someone has suggested that a Special Prosecutor be assigned to conduct such an investigation, and the former Mayor Giuliani might be a suitable prosecutor for it.

#2 The FBI investigated only the alleged scam operation.

I am confused. For the sake of argument, if let's say, a Robert Mueller investigation discovered 'intent to defraud and flight' might they have continued to dig a bit further ?

I suspect we all know cousin Susan is snorting and why she's made those frequent shopping excursions to the city all of these years. This case reeks of espionage, theirs and possibly ours as well. While I doubt it will happen, I think we should drop the denial and be honest.

#3 Is this going to be like a Clinton case, i.e. rigged from the inside with Swamp denizens?

#5 Like the Lois Lerner case...? Pleads the Fifth and then the case is consigned to oblivion because there is no *cough* chance of conviction *cough* ?
