Tells me there may be some "there" there.

to comment, that response would also have been twisted to mean whatever hearers wanted it to mean.

Are you sure that it's not Billion?

Let's open it up and see what happens then. We know where that would go

with very few African American voters in some Western and northern states.

We all know this.
The people are for Bernie, Dems are for Hillary. That's why you're seeing Bernie equal or fundraise Hillary with millions of small donations.

Bernie won open primaries only in Vermont, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
All the rest of his wins were in caucuses.

Hillary, OTOH, won OPEN primaries in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Ohio (semi-open) (and an OPEN caucus in Nevada) . . .

in addition to her winning closed primaries in states like NY.

be involved.

an investigation involving a major candidate for the presidency, he's totally involved in politics. He reports directly to the Attorney General, a Cabinet level position, as well as the Director of National Intelligence, who answers directly to the President. The office is as much political as it is about law enforcement and counterintelligence.

And it is the organization that J. Edgar Hoover more or less founded and ran for 40 years...

He defied George W Bush even though he's a Republican. Comey also went public about the pressure that was put on him.

The DoJ and attorney general are not.

exclude that.

I don't get Hillary supporters around here poo-pooing the investigation as nothing more than "another RW witch hunt to smear Hillary." Whereas it's pretty obvious that RW media and websites are talking about the investigation largely to damage Clinton, it doesn't change the facts that a.) there is a real FBI investigation ongoing that they have committed lots of time and resources towards and b.) the details that have been leaked through emails and to legitimate news sources do not paint a good picture for Hillary or her top aides.

As Democrats, sticking out heads in the sand on this is very, very risky and dangerous and could lose us a lot more than just the WH. I just hope that party leaders are paying attention, because it could get ugly.

would try to shy away from it if they at all could.

The evidence presented itself under a certain timeline, which the FBI has followed, election year or not. It has been surprising to me how long the investigation has taken.

Does her VP pick get the nomination, or does Bernie?

a shocking surprise waiting for her in November. I'm shocked she is continuing on. She should give it up.

With all her baggage, she's a ticking time bomb.

I've always heard he's a straight shooter and not political but this delay really worries me.

I'm on record here that I neither want nor expect an indictment.

The longer this goes on however, the worse those odds become imo.

The Democratic Party. I really do hope that this gets resolved before the convention, indictment or not.

I will say one thing: if Hillary wins the nomination and then gets indicted (or even a recommendation of indictment from the FBI) within the throes of the GE, I will never ever forgive her or the DNC.

they've got nothing to lose.

Down ticket will get hurt so bad that we will never recover.

the party. Not her, though.

BERNIE. I hope he's having a good laugh.

be in that situation in the first place. Setting up the top of the State Department on a private email server??? Then, even if that were done, having the chutzpah - KNOWING THE MANY FOIA REQUESTS to leave taking all your email with you.

However, I suspect that there will not be anything that rises to the level of an indictment. My reason is of the "dog that did not bark" variety. I assume that Obama, at this point, knows pretty much everything that happened and he likely knew it at least by the point that the NYT wrote the first article in March 2015. If there were something really damning, I would imagine that he would have privately invited her in - laid out what he knew - and asked her to back out citing health or something and he could have pardoned her for anything that she might have done. If she would not do that, he could have back in early 2015 sought out someone to run against her, promising an endorsement.

Instead, Obama has been very supportive of Clinton, praising her effusively.

Now, forever and always...

Everything else is a distant second.

is for lying to the FBI rather than anything even to do with the actual investigation.

They'll talk to a [person five times and then indict them for saying different things from one interview from the other.

If that means an indictment, so be it. If that means no indictment, then so be it. I just want it to end ASAP.

Comey has said the same thing previously, almost word for word.

It also was reported by the New York Times in early March that the FBI is planning to interview Clinton and her top aides "within weeks" and then wrap up their investigation by "mid-May." We'll see if they stick to that. That's not very far away.

Comey would likely say the same thing whether they were finishing tomorrow or months from now.

triangulation.

correct.

along with the Goldman-Sachs transcripts, when they can do the most damage.

Just my opinion.

Popcorn?

Or maybe a stiff drink.

will hurt since the GOP pretty much admitted the whole thing was a political smear job. But anything short of complete absolvement with the email will damage her, as will her sucking up to banksters.

It was a partisan witch hunt and totally phony from day one. Even people who view Hillary as corrupt (as I do) know that. Benghazi won't change a single vote in the GE.

Who pays $ 200,000 to bring in a big shot and then doesn't record the event.

So there have got to be lots of transcripts hanging around. I'm amazed some haven't been leaked already.

Release them now, and she has months to do damage control. Release them in October and you do maximum damage.

I'm surprised a company would agree to that. For $ 200,000 you'd want to make more use of your money than a one shot meeting.

They are waiting until the general, you drop this when the election is close so da,age control can not fix it in time, just look at the HRC camp spam of smears right before the election.

...and some are wondering about her health and stamina for the job. She has been coughing lately, and wearing high collars and scarves. Speculation about a swollen thyroid has people wondering.

No matter how calm you act, it would be trying on anyone.

If this comes down to election season with the Republicans screaming bloody murder...

... our down tickets will be crushed across the board.

Hmmm

To maintaining the credibility of his investigation. It can't be seen as driven by partisan politics in any way, even release date. Why would anyone assume otherwise?

until after the convention. Your field is not strong this year and this would help republicans immensely. No indictment would be necessary just a strong finding of completely inappropriate behavior. Just remember Democratic voters are doing this to themselves.
Don't blame Republicans for taking advantage of your failure to hold your candidate to a higher standard before voting them in.
Even if Hillary is not indicted this whole situation is only an issue because she has horrible judgment. Over and over she constantly makes bad self serving decisions and apparently Hillary voters are OK with that.
This was such a mind numbingly stupid thing to do. I know everybody thinks Comey is impartial, but nobody in Government is completely impartial.

if it's something then she shouldn't be a candidate in the first place
she leaves herself open to so much damage by the Republicans .....

I feel so sorry for her in this and now the Democratic Party has a shadow hanging over it

All this time, all the interviews. If they are zeroing in one someone like the software vendor or programmer, and Hillary is off the hook - shouldn't they at LEAST be able to say that?

"She is no longer a person of interest" or some such?

The fact they haven't is becoming very worrisome.
