#2 "I get that people care about this investigation, and so we're working very hard....

Not one indictment, not one arrest, that's what I'm talking about Director Comey.

#4 FBI Director James Comey says the forthcoming Democratic National Convention does not represent a deadline for finishing the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails.

If one assumes this statement has the approval of the regime, then can one assume there are no schedules, deadlines, or goals for eventual prosecution period ?

Pardon me. I believe I may have answered my own question.

#5 Not saying the fix isn't in, but isn't this what he HAS to say?

#7 Lord Garth,
Then we get her VP which may be worse, and, I suspect, carefully chosen in the event of Clinton becoming ill or otherwise incapacitated.
The convention should be a deadline. Otherwise it's a nothingburger.

#8 A cynical person might wonder whether Comey being "personally close to this investigation" has more to do with ensuring its thoroughness or managing its pace.

#9 Don't forget: the FBI doesn't indict anyone. All they can do is investigate, and then (optionally) recommend that the Justice Department indict. So even if the FBI wraps up its investigation by the convention, Loretta Lynch has lots of time to review the report, slow walk the grand jury, and so on.

Ultimately, it will all come down to whether Obama decides to throw Hillary under the bus.
