Hillary's Victories Mean Painful Legal Choices for DOJ, WH

[agracie]

Real Clear Politics - "If the FBI recommends felony charges, as is likely, the DOJ’s choices are damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t. For Loretta Lynch, it will make for a painful final year. For her party, the stakes are the presidency. For her country, they are the impartial rule of law."

1. Manning's choice.

Release the video of the strafing of civilians or go along with the flow.
Chelsea Manning made a difficult choice.

Perhaps this isn't too far off from that decision.
I am glad it is not my choice to make.



Chose wisely

2. I personally believe that the DOJ will follow the FBI's recommendation

The only question I have is when will that be?

[Barack_America]

5. What is our country without rule of law?

I hardly doubt Congress Republicans will let this go. And what a position the Democrats would be in to defend her against impeachment.

6. There's an unwritten rule that the DOJ won't issue

A subpoena three months before an election so the window is closing fast. IMHO we will know one way or another. The only thing caveat is the fact that the FBI keeps on adding agents to this case. With upwards of 150 working full time on a 24/7 schedule. That tells me things might be snowballing. That doesn't even include the people working REF b cases.

7. You seem to know a bit about this.

Those are some very interesting points you make.

So what would happen after the election, if it were up to Clinton's own DOJ to decide?

8. There is no law saying that Hillary couldn't pardon herself

And she'd do it too.

14. Sooner rathern than later

I suspect,

And I have been calling on the issues in that article here for a while, and called this to have the reek of watergate

11. There should be an Express Lane for such as this.

12. Seeing as to how the FBI has all three server's

And reportedly recovered the data. IMHO they are finding more and more. The initial projection was around Dec of last year to wrap this up.

3. The Truth is Often Painful. Especially for those who've turned a blind-eye to it.

They wake up and realize they've been putting their heads in the sand all along and have allowed atrocities to occur with their tacit approval.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. This has the same potential as Watergate

people ignored it and defended him, until you could not find anybody pulling for Nixon. Though I found one two decades later in Hawaii... it was... odd

4. Hillary is a corrupt liar; possibly a criminal who'll be indicted... what's not to love?

9. Cool story bro

10. "Obama's shameful refusal to attend Scalia's funeral"

Is just one of the many bullshit right wing talking points the author of this article has pushed (google is your friend )

You guys have been pushing rw talking points all day. Must be getting desperate.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Found the same story myself

Parroting RW talking points seems to be SOP for some Sanders supporters.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Well the born clasified RW talking point

is not a RW talking point if you know anything about this shit. I reached that conclusion after reading four of the emails, from Sidney Blumenthal that were released and have since been classified.

But I understand how you would think that is a RW talking point, All the points made in the article are the ones that I actually understand. I have said in the past that this is a highly technical story, and unless you know somebody who had handled material, or you have done it yourself, this story does not make sense.

Some of us have tried to explain it. it sounds as if DOJ is getting closer to that point of decision, and if they decide to charge, say good bye to your candidate. As somebody I know who handled intel put it. if she had done that, she would be facing 30 at Leavenworth.
