CNN and MSNBC confirm Hillary Clinton will not face any charges in email inquiry

168. Think about it

FBI investigators and others spend a year or more looking into all kinds of issues related to this case.

On this alone, aside from other issues: she had classified information on her computer at home which got CIA director Deutch to cop to a plea bargain. It's flat out criminal - no excuses like Deutch found out.

The FBI speak with her for three and a half hours on Saturday (if that report is accurate).

And suddenly, in a matter of minutes, there are no charges?

Doesn't someone at the FBI have to go through all these things she said and check them against their findings? This was not a five minute discussion. There was a bunch to talk about. They must have gone in with concerns or issues in order to spend that long with her. Don't they have to review the case and the top folks at the FBI get together and discuss it? Doesn't the Department of Justice have a say in all of this no matter how the FBI feels about it? And all this happened in minutes collectively?

No matter how your slice it, her actions were at the very least highly debatable as to whether she should be criminally charged. The debate may go in her favor, particularly given whose administration is calling the shots, but you'd think even politically, they'd want to proceed cautiously because it has to play out in the court of public opinion while an election is going on.

The timing of such a thing after all that effort makes no sense to me. It seems implausible and smells like a planted leak - quickly put out for damage control.

They may well decide not to indict her but to make that decision this fast after talking with her? That seems highly dubious. And this was spun a couple of months ago and obviously didn't take back then.

Hello, David Brock .. again?
