#1 Indictment of who is the question. Most likely a mid-range person that is expendable so McKacklepants can take the throne.

#2 Gonna be hard to find a mid-range person who doesn't already have immunity...

#3 Doesn't immunity fade if they find out the person lied.

#4 O can't pardon her without a conviction, because the Constitution says she is innocent until proven guilty. To pardon her without a conviction of a specific crime would make her look guilty!

#5 Bobby, think Nixons pardon by Ford, he was never convicted of anything.

#6 If Zero was going to pardon them anyway, why did he allow the FBI to investigate in the first place? Why has he not fired Comey?

#7 @#6: Zero didn't let anything go forward. He may have been aware of the investigations, but could not stop them (although DO"J" appeared to have done their best.).

FBI Directors are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for 10-year terms. This give some protection against Political influence.

Zero couldn't remove Comey without some seriously nasty evidence. Mr. Comey impresses me as a "Boy Scout" with a squeaky clean CV and, therefore, somewhat immune to dismissal pressure.

It's going to be an interesting 5 days.....

#8 From Judge Napolitano column"
At the time he sent his Friday letter, Comey had not yet seen the contents of the Weiner laptop because the search warrant authorizing FBI agents to access its contents was not signed until Sunday. If he saw something incriminating before he wrote his letter, he saw it unlawfully; yet his duty was to bring what he saw to the Department of Justice, for which he works, not to hint about it publicly to Congress.
Comey's progress report to Congress is prohibited by the internal regulations of the DOJ and the FBI -- and by the canons of legal ethics that regulate lawyers. Comey had no obligation to send the letter at any time; moreover, sending it last week was a direct violation of DOJ and FBI rules that prohibit all public announcements about candidates for public office within 60 days of Election Day.

#9 When the "Obama DOJ" stands for everything but Justice for all, it's pretty hard to demand fielty to their political decrees. Comey should never have said it was "closed" in July but the Weiner investigation saw new info and I think he had to note that. Note Judge Napolitano has been wrong on MANY things before, but never unsure

#11 Three-prongs to investigation: 1. Weiner schlong problem with underage girls, 2. RICO-level corruption in the CF and CGI, and 3. mishandling (maybe treason and espionage) of classified info?

#12 "prongs" should not be used in a Weiner-related comment

#13 I can't see any scenario where a Democrat in the Oval Office will allow anyone of any status to be charged with a crime. If Clinton is elected this story will be debunked as media hype and Mitch and Paul will dine in the White House with Hil & Bill.
The FBI has had AW's computer for nearly 6 weeks if reports are true. It's hard to believe they haven't done something by now other than CYA.

#15 #13 The FBI has had AW's computer for nearly 6 weeks if reports are true.

In addition to the AW/HumaA computer, the FBI is reported to have Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson's computers too. Searching the latter computers would imply the immunity agreements have been violated by Mills and Samuelson.

#16 Can't do it JQC, only a MOD has the necessary seniority to deal with FrankG.

#18 @#'s 13 / 15 - Getting the story out that the laptops had been destroyed was, in hindsight, brilliant.
