[Daily Caller] Chairman of the Benghazi Select Committee Trey Gowdy says the results of the Committee will be "eye-opening" and "surprising."
Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show on Monday, Hewiit asked Gowdy, "Do you believe the question has been asked and answered adequately, yet, as to whether or not assets were proximate and available that night to come to the assistance to the people under attack in Benghazi?"
"Hugh, I will tell you this. When we issue our report, and hopefully, it is coming sooner rather than later, I think that part of our investigation is going to be the most eye-opening, the most surprising, and frankly, will dwarf the other two tranches of Benghazi in terms of what we have been able to find," Gowdy claimed. Faster please, with much more enthusiasm.

The FBI cannot indict anyone. They can only recommend an indictment; Justice has to bring forward an indictment. The pressure will be on Loretta Lynch after FBI is done with its investigation. Popcorn, anyone?
[Rooters] President Barack Obama praised Hillary Clinton's political experience, a boost to her campaign as she battles an insurgent Bernie Sanders a week before the Democratic presidential nominating process kicks off.
Obama's kind words for his former secretary of state, in a Politico interview published on Monday, will help Clinton as she tries to link her campaign more closely with the president and so draw in more support from his backers.
While never explicitly criticizing Sanders, a senator from Vermont whose campaign is focused on pledges to redress social inequality and contain Wall Street excesses, Obama praised Clinton's experience and suggested several times that Clinton's messages are grounded in realism.
"(S)he's extraordinarily experienced -- and, you know, wicked smart and knows every policy inside and out -- (and) sometimes (that) could make her more cautious, and her campaign more prose than poetry," Obama said.

[Breitbart] One of Hillary Clinton's defensive tactics is to insist that none of the emails on her unsecure private server were "marked classified," even though over a thousand emails containing classified material have now been discovered, including several Top Secret and beyond Top Secret documents.
Of course, Clinton leaves out the fact that those emails weren't "marked classified" is that her staff stripped the markings away (as one of her emails appears to show her ordering a staffer to do.) The New York Post reports the FBI is investigating another possibility: Clinton's aides manually cut-and-pasted the classified material out of secure systems, into messages destined for the Secretary of State's private server.
What the Post discusses is a process alluded to long ago, by intelligence veterans who noted that classified material cannot simply be forwarded to unsecure systems, as ordinary email users might click the "Forward" button in applications like Gmail or Microsoft Outlook to pass a message along to friends or co-workers. The secure systems can't directly communicate with unsecure email networks, such as the notorious ClintonEmail.com server.

I wonder if someone brought an electronic device with "Dragon" style voice recognition software and read the classified traffic aloud to capture the verbatim reporting. Either that, or there is someone in the inner circle with high quality typing skills, or eidetic memory. In any event, the list has to be comparatively small, and from my SSO days, I suspect the culprit will be easy to trace and turn, providing they aren't certain they are above trial.
The larger question, the essential question, is are they? Has Hillary enough dirt/juice/allies to compel Champ and ValJar to pull the DoJ leash on what the FBI is going to refer. Or, can they convince the person(s) who committed the transcription felonies that they will be protected or pardoned?
Finally, I think the PLan B has always been Uncle Joe and Fauxcahontus, ready in the wings if the FBI can't be stopped, with a willingness to pardon everyone if Hilda and the Clinton Criminal Foundation bows out. Biden to the rescue, saving the country from the Bernie/Donald choice, and promising that Warren gets the Presidency after his one term, in which the cleanup on aisle six and the massive evidence of public corruption of the past 8 years is carefully put away. The Democrat Party, showing how far corruption has evolved in suffering America.
The FBI is ready to indict Hillary Clinton and if its recommendation isn't followed by the U.S. attorney general, the agency's investigators plan to blow the whistle and go public with their findings, former U.S. House Majority leader Tom DeLay tells Newsmax TV. It's going to be interesting to watch the mental gymnastics they'll have to go through when deciding if/how to squash the whistleblowers. Good luck with that!
"I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me they're ready to indict," DeLay said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."
"They're ready to recommend an indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they're going public." You mean this is blackmail quality material?
Clinton is under FBI investigation for her use of a private server to conduct confidential government business while she was secretary of state. But some Republicans fear any FBI recommendation that hurts Clinton will be squashed by the Obama administration.
DeLay, a Texas Republican and Washington Times radio host, said:
"One way or another either she's going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another she's going to have to face these charges." Sure. For a little while. Then it will magically turn out that her "not a stroke" was actually a stroke and she'll have to bow out of the race and then be pardoned on "humanitarian" grounds, or she'll be pardoned because she's sucking up too much of 0bean's time. Either way, she's a goner politically.
Last week, Clinton's press secretary Brian Fallon accused intelligence Inspector General Charles McCullough of colluding with Republicans to damage Clinton's campaign for president. No collusion necessary. She did it to herself. With a little help from Bill. But her saying that suggests we both agree that were the charges true, it would be bad.
The charge came after a report that McCullough sent a letter to two GOP lawmakers that some of Clinton's emails sent from her private server when she was secretary of state should have been marked with classifications even higher than "top secret."

As long as she's a goner politically, I'll be pleased. To make me happy, just to clarify, she'd have to be tried, convicted, and expire in prison - an 'apparent' suicide.

Only if you fail to include my name on the card, flowers, etc.

The FBI can't indict anyone, only collect evidence and recommend indictment. This administration is willing to gamble nothing will happen when Lynch refuses to indict Hillary. Nothing happened when she refused to indict Humanity Abadi after the I. G. Recommended it. Nothing will happen now.

Nothing will happen now.
That might depend on just how "fundamentally transformed" the administration believes the US to be. Enough to elect Bernie comfortably? If so the Hildebeeste will definitely wind up in prison.
But I'm not holding my breath regardless of what DeLay says. Obama's association with the likes of Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright should have been enough to keep him out of the White House but it didn't. The MSM is still very powerful. A couple of rogue, ex-FBI agents hold a press conference and it'll get buried.

Throw her in jail and have Warren be the VP candidate for Sanders to pick up the lady vote. In one sweep the Democrats remove the most visibly corrupt and go full Socialist.
