[NWCorona]

1. I'm surprised this thread is so quiet.

[seabeyond]

2. It is no surprise to most of us that have followed this.

[NWCorona]

8. That's not what I meant.

[seabeyond]

9. O.k.

[Renew Deal]

6. We'll know within 24 business hours

[NWCorona]

11. I agree with that

[Hekate]

118. Oh, snap

[spooky3]

25. I think many people are waiting for an official press release or something like that

to confirm.

[NWCorona]

30. I can see that.

[obamanut2012]

73. I think because most of us knew this was a RW construct

And just had to wait for it to play out so everyone else would know what was up.

[MoonRiver]

3. Very good news, but no surprise.

[charlyvi]

4. Exactly.

Facts have Trumped the VRWC. Again.

[CrowCityDem]

5. I don't know how anyone ever thought there would be charges. It was clearly not a crime.

[bluedye33139]

62. From the start

Folks also thought Whitewater would send her to prison.

[Her Sister]

100. Well Jackpine has a whole MAIN FORUM dedicated to: Clinton Email Investigation and Timeline

Some of them said they even called the FBI! OMFG!

[NastyRiffraff]

136. I bet the FBI just LOVED hearing from them!

Jeez. I keep saying that they can't get any more stupid, and then....

[stevenleser]

146. You laugh, but that call probably saved taxpayer money.

I'll bet that upon hearing of the call, the lead FBI investigator promptly concluded the investigation and decided that no charges would be filed.

Because if you hear it on JPR, it's probably wrong.

[eastwestdem]

144. The problem with the repubs 'crying wolf' so often, is that we now don't believe them

about anything bad they say regarding the Clintons. At least I don't.

[RogerM]

7. Bernie to concede

Big surprise but glad this will be behind us

[bettyellen]

139. And Sarandon to wipe the egg off her face...

[eastwestdem]

145. Now that would be news. nt

[awake]

10. Did they say where the sources were from?

FBI, DOJ or the Clinton staff?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. What do you think the meaning of this quote is

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blessed:
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

[pnwmom]

72. CNN says "multiple law enforcement officials." n/t

[awake]

77. Thank you

[MFM008]

12. because so many of us

Dont give a fuzzy rats butt.
We knew nothing would come of it....
...

[mcar]

14. No surprise but great news

Can we finally put this nothingburger to bed?

[lsewpershad]

17. So funny that

with Hillary everything is nothing burger...

[KittyWampus]

38. There's nothing funny about how Republicans have spent so much time and tax dollars

throwing crap at the Clintons hoping to make something stick.

[mcar]

47. The most investigated person in this country

How many charges? None

Everything has been a nothingburger.

[scscholar]

66. 25+ years of constant fake Republican-created scandals...

will do that. This was just a review, as Hillary's employee confirmed this morning.

[John Poet]

127. It's good to know what to expect....

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. How many hearts will be broken by this I wonder

[underpants]

21. A lot.

Hell even Rush told his audience yesterday that nothing was coming of it. Of course he had to play victim.

Mediaite link

[Bok_Tukalo]

16. No Deus ex Machina for you, Republicans

You actually have to win the election yourselves.

[panader0]

18. So can we let the pot smokers out of prison yet?

[mcar]

48. And this has what, exactly, to do with the OP?

[stonecutter357]

114. hell no Its hard enough to get a bag now.

[woolldog]

19. Would love to see more confirmation of this.

Is this the only source?

[still_one]

20. While I welcome this, and appreciate the update, I wait anxiously for the official announcement

[MH1]

32. Me too, except it is something less than anxiously.

More like impatiently. I'd like the official announcement so it is finally put to rest, but I'm not at all anxious about the outcome.

[still_one]

34. of course

[lapucelle]

22. It will be great to have this and all the post mortems behind us before the convention.

[napi21]

81. Do you REALLY think the idiot Pubbies will put it behind them after the PR?

They haven't even put the OLD accusations to bed. They were just talking about Hillary killing Vince Foster & something about Whitewater last week!

I can only hope the media will finally drop the emails thing and then it will fall into oblivion.

[KMOD]

23. .

[R B Garr]

91. LOL, just got in from a busy day and came to check the news on this....

.....and saw this first! Perfect!

[KMOD]

92. ain't it purrfect?

[R B Garr]

134. Yes, it is purrfect! Email foil cat can now join Benghazi cat

in their Alice in Wonderland fantasies! Alice: "why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

[MaggieD]

95. LOL!

Nice one, KMOD!

[Hekate]

120. Bejaysus, that is wonderful!

[Surya Gayatri]

133. Get a kick out of this one, too! LOL!

And, Shatner knows his "foil"...LOL!

[NastyRiffraff]

137. OMG love that cat!

[BlueNoMatterWho]

24. That was quick!

[Kingofalldems]

36. Looks like Trump has a sad:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/749350193095667713

Aww shucks!

[geek tragedy]

39. Hillary hating nutjobs across the political

spectrum are already claiming corruption in the DOJ.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

43. Which is ridiculous. Though the AG /Bill Clinton meeting didn't help.

[Kingofalldems]

46. You are so clever, I must say.

[Her Sister]

102. Is the word "rigged" a dog whistle for something?

Pooohh Trump! Sadz...

[robbedvoter]

132. actually, it's a bit better than a "sad". It's an "oops"

https://twitter.com/edgeoforever/status/749363161510313986

[NastyRiffraff]

138. Poor baby

Bless his heart.

[Cooley Hurd]

26. GOOD! ENOUGH!

Put this issue to bed. It, thankfully, set precedent for future cabinet members. Keep your business on govt servers. A mistake by the Secretary, but certainly NOT a show-stopper.

Onward to crush Buzz Windrip!!!!

[Peacetrain]

27. Not surprised.. she broke no laws..

[workinclasszero]

33. The indictment fairy is DEAD!!!

Woohoo!!!

Hillary will wipe the floor with Trump in the GE and be our next President!!!!!

[KittyWampus]

40. knowing how the Republican party operates, they'll find some other indictment fairy...

to hector Hillary with. No matter how stupid, bogus or imaginary.

[kcjohn1]

35. All I well say is their sources not as good as dailycaller

I expect they are making this up because they use "expectation" and use hedging terms like within two weeks "or so". Another possibility is this is from the Hillary camp and I expect them to say there is no expectation of indictments.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

53. Hmmmm

All I well (sp) say is their sources not as good as dailycaller

The Daily Caller is a politically conservative[2][3] news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C.. It was founded by Tucker Carlson, a libertarian conservative[4][5] political pundit, and Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney. The site's sections includes politics, business, world news, entertainment, sports, education, technology, outdoors, and energy.

The Daily Caller launched on January 11, 2010. In late 2012, The New York Times reported that the site had quadrupled its page view and total audience and had become profitable without ever buying an advertisement for itself.[6]

Carlson serves as the publication's main editor-in-chief with Vince Coglianese as his executive editor.[7]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Caller

Are you a devotee of that site?


Thank you in advance.

BTW, NBC is operating on the same assumption:


:large

[kcjohn1]

54. No, but whoever is their source, they are much closer this investigation

They beat NYT, WashPO, CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS, and other establishment media in reporting on the saturday interview. So whoever they are talking to (irregardless of motive, I suspect the source is right winger), their source is much closer to this.

In the era of media spin, I wouldn't be surprised if the CNN source is not someone close to the Hillary campaign. Of course their position is there is no upcoming indictment, and as result I would take this with grain of salt.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

57. I have been following this closely...

Obviously wingers FBI agents have been leaking...That's where FOX is getting their info... But someone(s) is also leaking to NYT, WAPO, and CNN.

[kcjohn1]

58. Exactly, but I would be less inclined to believe the Clinton campaign on this

Obama admin rarely if ever leaks. So we basically have two sources.

1) Right wingers from the FBI
2) Clinton campaign.

Clinton campaign is feeding the main stream media. I remember article 2 months ago on CNN with the exact same headline (no indictment is expected, no laws broken).

This article feeds into the narrative Clinton campaign is driving. It is actually good coordinated move from the Clinton camp because they 1) put out statement saying its "voluntary", she is assisting "review", etc 2) leak there is nothing there to CNN 3) Hillary gives interview saying all is well, and there is nothing to come of this. I'm not saying this is not the likely outcome, but anyone who follows politics can sense this article is part of damage control from the Clinton campaign.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

59. THe biggest tell she wouldn't be indicted is Obama's fulsome endorsement and campaigning ...

The biggest tell she wouldn't be indicted is Obama's fulsome endorsement and campaigning with her on Tuesday...if there was even a remote possibility she would be indicted he would keep some distance...

Oh, Joe Biden is campaigning with her on Friday.

[kcjohn1]

65. That is one line of thinking

Another is Obama is telling the truth when he says he is not interfering with the FBI. At this point Clinton is not guilty of anything. Imagine how it would look if Obama was not campaigning or visibly supporting. Also doesn't help (from this perspective) that the head of FBI is republican who has had negative history with Clinton's.

There is also the possibility Obama knows she will not be the candidate, and wants his hands clean of this when/if the indictment comes, and it doesn't look like he sticking to the Clinton's so his buddy could become the president.

I personally subscribe to the theory Obama is telling to the truth and decision lies with the FBI. If I'm in this position, I will proceed with the theory she hasn't committed any crimes.

[floriduck]

89. Have a nice day.

[KMOD]

90. Where do these theories come from?

I'm serious. Where do you get your information from?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

105. He would never put his legacy on the line without certitude.

For more than a year now, across thousands of miles and all 50 states, tens of millions of Americans have made their voices heard. Today, I just want to add mine. I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States. Look, I know how hard this job can be. That’s why I know Hillary will be so good at it. In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office. She’s got the courage, the compassion, and the heart to get the job done. And I say that as someone who had to debate her more than 20 times. Even after our own hard-fought campaign, in a testament to her character she agreed to serve our country as secretary of state. From the decision we made in the situation room to get Bin Laden, to our pursuit of diplomacy in capitals around the world, I have seen her judgement, I’ve seen her toughness, I’ve seen her commitment to our values up close. I’ve seen her determination to give every American a fair shot at opportunity, no matter how tough the fight was. That’s what has always driven her. And it still does. So I want those of you who have been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I’m with her. I am fired up, and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign.
I also want to thank everybody who turned out to vote and who worked so hard for our candidates. This has been a hard-fought race. I know some say these primaries have somehow left the Democratic party more divided. Well, they said that eight years ago as well. But just like eight years ago, there are millions of Americans, not just Democrats, who have cast their ballots for the very first time. And a lot of that is thanks to senator Bernie Sanders, who has run an incredible campaign. I had a great meeting with him this week, and I thanked him for shining a spotlight on issues like economic inequality and the outsized influence of money in our politics, and bringing young people into our process. Embracing that message is going to help us win in November. But more importantly, it will make the Democratic party stronger, and it will make America stronger. Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders may have been rivals during this primary, but they’re both patriots who love this country. They share a vision for the America that we all believe in, an America that is hopeful, an America that big-hearted, an America that is strong and fair and gives every child the same chance that we had. Those are the values that unite us as Democrats. Those are the values that make America great. Those are the values that are going to be tested in this election. But if we all come together in common effort, I’m convinced we won’t just win in November, well build on the progress that we have made and we will win a brighter future for this country that we love.

http://www.bustle.com/articles/165939-the-transcript-of-obamas-hillary-clinton-endorsement-contains-a-powerful-message[/div

I personally subscribe to the theory Obama is telling to the truth and decision lies with the FBI.

The decision lies with a grand jury, not with the FBI. There can be no indictment except upon the finding of probable cause by a grand jury:

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

[seabeyond]

68. Please do not flat out accuse Clinton campaign without any knowledge or fact at all.

[pnwmom]

76. Your spidey-sense is failing you. You're spending too much time citing Daily Caller

talking points.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/02/politics/clinton-meets-with-fbi-as-part-of-email-probe/

Within the next two weeks or so, the expectation is there will be an announcement of no charges being brought against Clinton so long as no evidence of wrongdoing emerges from her interview with the FBI, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN. CNN has previously reported no charges were expected to be brought against Clinton because the investigators had not found evidence to warrant charges, according to multiple law enforcement officials. A Democrat close to Clinton said Saturday the campaign believes the FBI will announce its decision before the conventions.

[geek tragedy]

85. The Indictment Fairy is dead. Move on for fuck's sake nt

[Hekate]

122. As Peter Pan said of the dying Tinkerbell: "Clap! Clap if you believe!"

That sound you hear is Hillary Haters of every stripe clapping their little hearts out to bring the Indictment Fairy back to life.

[XemaSab]

121. This one?

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-reports-fbi-has-found-no-criminal-wrongdoing-in-hillary-clinton-email-investigation/

[pnwmom]

75. They "beat" them with an incorrect fact, saying that the interview

would be taking place at Hillary's home. The other sources waited till they could make sure they were getting the facts straight.

CNN says they have multiple law enforcement sources on this story. Are you saying CNN is lying?

[lapucelle]

56. Maybe the poster meant that the information would seem more reliable if it had come from a RW source

because they hate Hillary so. The Daily Caller is run by the odious Swanson TV dinner heir Tucker Carlson and his brother Buckley.

Imagine being a teenager able to say to girls at a party, "Hi, I'm Tuck. This is my brother Buck. We're the TV dinner heirs!"

[pnwmom]

74. Not as good as that right wing rag? CNN says they have "multiple law enforcement" sources.nt

[geek tragedy]

83. LMAO, pimping the rightwing Daily Caller

as the authoritative source.

So transparent. Your CONCERN is noted.

[DemonGoddess]

135. Another source I see

quoted a whole bunch? The Observer. Which is run by Trumpenstein's son in law

[stevenleser]

147. How's that Daily Caller source working out for ya?

[LonePirate]

41. Weeks ago, a large number of DUers was convinced she would be indicted.

In fact, they were counting on it. Nowadays, most of them have moved on that alleged pro-Bernie site which is actually little more than a Hillary hate site.

[randome]

44. Not only that but this was EXACTLY LIKE WATERGATE!!!!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[BlueMTexpat]

42. Oh the poutrage

among the "righteous" who have been counting on indictments and more!



For those of us who have known this to be yet another manufactured "scandal," meh.

[randome]

45. So...there's still a chance?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[Gothmog]

50. This is what everyone who understood the law expected

[stopbush]

51. OK, what's the next faux scandal to erupt about the Clintons?

How can we have an election going on that involves the Clintons without having a scandal being flogged by the media?

Maybe Bill won't put the flag out on the 4th of July. That could have international repercussions. Or maybe it will be revealed that their Foundation actually spent only 88.97% of the funds they collected on charity work, rather than the 89% that was announced earlier in the week.

You know there's something there. Otherwise they wouldn't be named Clinton.

[riversedge]

55. @HillaryClinton on whether she has been told no charges will be brought: "..I have no knowledge of a

Chuck Todd brought up the issue with Hillary. All to vague for me to believe anything at this point.


Edward Mejia Davis ?@TeddyDavisCNN 1h1 hour ago

.@HillaryClinton on whether she has been told no charges will be brought: "..I have no knowledge of any timelines.."

[Thinkingabout]

60. The Benghazi Committee gave a heads up by making tbeir announcement and if

There was a chance to indict Hillary they would have held up on their release. The Republicans has a problem with Trump so they can close their plans and allow Hillary to be president, it just may save their party.

[SidDithers]

61. The indictment fairy has died...nt

Sid

[Hekate]

123. "Clap your hands if you believe!" said Peter Pan....

[MineralMan]

63. The fix is in...

Many who were desperately counting on an indictment are now "deeply saddened."

[bluedye33139]

64. Other crimes

Can't they fabricate other crimes to accuse her of?

[MineralMan]

67. Oh, they'll try.

Just watch.

[NastyRiffraff]

141. Including Trump

Or, no, he is just being presidential again:

It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton. Like I said, the system is totally rigged!

[tblue37]

69. Good! I hope Obama and others come out swinging against this meme once she has been

cleared by the FBI.

I suspect they will say her choices were unwise and unfortunate but not really a violation of any rule in place when she was SS. They might even chastise her openly for not being readily forthcoming with emails demanded in the FOI request. But she did far less than what Petraeus got a bare tap on the wrist for, and this whole thing has been a huge distraction from real issues on which the Republicans should be slammed and slammed hard.

[Maru Kitteh]

70. Entierely expected. Good to know the FOX-loving crowd will finally have

no island left to stand on.

THANKS FOR THE POST!

[bigtree]

71. but, but, TARMACGATE!

...this has always been a game of shifting speculation.

[lovemydog]

78. If this turns out to be true

I'm not surprised. It didn't seem like a big deal to me.

[realmirage]

79. Wait, another GOP conspiracy was debunked? Shocking.

[Arazi]

80. David Schuster reporting differently

Check out @DavidShuster's Tweet: https://twitter.com/DavidShuster/status/749081005269606400?s=09

FBI investigators saying they'll recommend indictment, DOJ says they won't indict.

[geek tragedy]

82. Shuster is a professional Clinton hater who predicted

superdelegates were lining up to flip from Hillary to Sanders.

[KMOD]

84. That tweet is over 24 hours old.

[woolldog]

93. Shuster is saying that the source for CNNs story

is a Clinton campaign. Speculation on his part???

[KMOD]

96. Of course it's speculation on his part.

When you are that biased, spin is all you have.

A whole lot of people are going to have egg on their faces, that's for certain.

[woolldog]

98. No one other than CNN is reporting this.

Why not?

[KMOD]

101. Maybe because it's a holiday weekend?

[woolldog]

103. Maybe, but I just looked at the Twitter feed of the correspondent

this story is attributed to and there's no tweet on this topic:

https://mobile.twitter.com/evanperez

That's odd. Don't you think?

[KMOD]

104. Not really.

I'm sure Evan Perez has a life outside of twitter.

[Hekate]

124. I see that you are very concerned. Thank you for your concern.

[MaggieD]

97. He is completely FOS as usual

I can't even count how many bullshit prediction tweets that douche has made.

[BainsBane]

107. Call me old fashioned

but I don't consider Tweets reliable sources, one way or the other.

[woolldog]

113. As much as I want to believe this.

I'm having a hard time buying this. No one else seems to be picking this up.

[840high]

117. I even checked overseas sites -

I'll wait.

[bettyellen]

140. You do that, along with Susan Sarandon.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

115. "Shuster is a professional Clinton hater..."

"Shuster is a professional Clinton hater who predicted

superdelegates were lining up to flip from Hillary to Sanders."

-geek tragedy

He also was suspended from MSNBC when he suggested Chelsea Clinton was a prostitute.


If you believe he is a dispassionate source there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.


" "

[Warren DeMontague]

125. His remarks were inappropriate and his suspension was deserved

however, that wasn't what he was "suggesting". Let's be real.

[George II]

87. People generally aren't charged with anything when they don't break any laws.

[MaggieD]

94. Of course not

Frankly I think it was silly for anyone to expect there would be.

[Jester Messiah]

99. I'm so surprised.

Is anyone else surprised?

[wyldwolf]

106. If true, someone has apparently told the FBI to shit or get off the pot.

[Maru Kitteh]

130. The FBI had already made it known that they intended for all to be "wrapped up"

before the conventions.

Very yawn-worthy announcement except to any/all of those who were praying for the indictment fairy. FOX aficionados and apologists of the same.

[Surya Gayatri]

131. Dammit...she's gonna be out of a job!

Much rending of garments,



and gnashing of teeth



is about to ensue.

[Silver_Witch]

108. I hope this is true so we can stop hearing about emails.

[CajunBlazer]

109. I find the additional Tweets interesting...

There are a lot of them; everytime I thought I was nearing the end of them, more kept popping up. It appeared that the Bernie or Bust folks were competing the the nasty Gumps to see who could slam Hillary harder.

[LenaBaby61]

110. Never believed Hillary would be indicted ....

[Cha]

111. Shocking. lol.. Thank you so much for the official word, DBS!

[liberal N proud]

116. :)

[ucrdem]

119. Awesome news.

[Warren DeMontague]

126. Good.

[AgadorSparticus]

128. Thank god. Not that I had any doubt she would be cleared. Just glad the haters were proven wrong.

Maybe now they can shut the hell up about contrived republican bullshit.

[ALBliberal]

129. As expected.

[DCBob]

142. When do we get our appologies from the indictment pushers?

[Scurrilous]

143. Boink!
