The Hillary Clinton Email Saga Just Got A Lot Weirder
2019-08-18
BLUF:
[RED STATE] The depth of the cover-up involved in Hillary’s email illegality is absolutely breath-taking. The lengths they went to and the amount of people who were working to shift priorities and bury evidence seems almost inconceivable, yet we have the government documentation proving these things happened.

Despite all this, it looks like everyone is going to get away with it. The media still claim Obama had no scandals while the current DOJ is ignoring criminal referrals by the IG for figures like Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, and James Comey. In fact, some of these people are so emboldened that they are now suing the government to get their full pensions. Meanwhile, others hide behind blanket immunity that was given for no logical reason whatsoever.

This is why so few people trusts our institutions. It’s also why the many conservatives who spent years insisting we treat the FBI/DOJ as sacrosanct were simply wrong. The corruption is blatantly evident. These were not people just trying to do their job and protect Americans. They were political actors that perverted the system of justice and that deserves the exposition it’s now getting.

Scrolling down to the bottom line:

#3  Translation: "Blah, blah blah, bleepong boop, yak!"

(Lots of talking and delaying, in the end the status of limitation will kick in and still nothing will be done.)

Sadly, I agree with Besoeker.

#2  The IG of the DOJ has been finishing up his investigation on the FISA surveillance of Carter Page and others. Until this report is out, the DOJ is, IIUC, limited in what it may do.


The IG report was supposed to be out in June, then July, now September. It may cover more than the FISA issue and that may be what is delaying things.

Anyway, after the IG report is final, investigations will probably accelerate including a re-investigation of Hillary's email issue. How much they accomplish and how fast will depend on how skillfully they organize and execute, witness cooperation, etc.

Yes! With each passing day I am even more convinced that nothing will be done.
