Why is "maybe this will result in some charges levied at the primary target" such a ridiculous idea? Because anyone with two brain-cells can read the writing on the wall? Again, as I posted earlier the burden required to warrant criminal charges is incredibly high. They have to not just prove that there was information being exchanged that was classified at the time, but that it was done maliciously with intention to subvert. That's an incredibly high burden and one that no one outside of the fringes or Fox News thinks is likely to happen. There is, further, no evidence that the FBI Director has felt any political interference that would warrant him stepping down -- so I don't know where you pulled that out of your rear end other than, again, fringe or bias right-wing media that turned a 5 minute social conversation in an airport into a full-blown scandal. Again, the gimmick is tedious and stupid. There is, of course, a possibility anything could happen -- as I said a giant meteor could strike and kill all life on earth -- but it's not fairly likely to happen, nor is it fairly likely to happen.

If the FBI director has to resign because the Obama administration interfered with his ability to investigate Hillary, Obama would be ending Hillary's chances of victory in November. What would be the point in ruining your reputation to generate an outcome that would take place without your interference?

He obtained the emails through FOIA, nothing in them is going to be anything that someone hasn't already seen.

If Comey does not recommend indictment, I will fully accept that there is not enough evidence to prosecute. If he were to say "the FBI investigation is being interfered with and I'm resigning", on the other hand, I'd be pretty miffed (as should any American). ----------------

Given that the FBI is not usually in the business of massively destabilizing the entire country - in fact they usually try to do the opposite of that - I'd be really surprised if they decided to drag this poo poo out for THIS LONG and then indict her right before the convention, even if she had actually done something illegal (which she didn't).

It's that old crypto-fascist rigmarole where Clinton is both so powerful and untouchable that they'll never convict her, but not so powerful and untouchable that she couldn't avoid getting investigated in the first place.

They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers of Ur-Fascism must also be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

All of this assumes that Team Clinton thought they actually needed to use that sort of suasion to prevent an indictment, which given that she will be on the same stage as President Obama three hours later doesn't seem very likely.

Since the "INDICTMENT IMMINENT" people have spent the past few months making Comey into a hero, what's gonna happen in the aftermath of a non-indictment? Taking bets on "Hillary has kidnapped Comey's kids" vs. "Comey was in their pocket all along!"
