(14,955 posts)there would be nothing to investigate.
Do you really believe that the Mayor and/or the police oversight board would have eventually released all of the information that has come out so far?
And do you really believe that all information is now in plain sight? Not counting the videos from BK that were erased by the police.
"Clinton is correct that everything needs to be investigated before conclusions can be reached." Why wasn't it investigated earlier (13 months!?!?) Who would have done the "investigation"? Who would have been damaged if an independent investigator found this perversion of justice?
Follow the money. Rahm Emmanuel and his machinery would/will be tarnished and damaged. By association, the Clintons and Obama are also damaged.
It's not the "American Way", but sometimes I think wrong-doers should confess their sins and fall on their swords. Instead the "American Way" is to deflect, defer, and then go on to land a plush job in some more lucrative world. I wonder if the Clinton Foundation is in need of a high-powered asshole.
