http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/us/politics/loretta-lynch-hillary-clinton-email-server.html?_r=0quote:Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch plans to announce on Friday that she will accept whatever recommendation career prosecutors and the F.B.I. director make about whether to bring charges related to Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, a Justice Department official said. Her decision removes the possibility that a political appointee will overrule investigators in the case. This is big, right? ----------------

the moose posted:VP Chris Christie. Im sure hes itching to prosecute all kinds of people when Trump wins. At this point my main concern is that the FBI holds off until after the nomination. My dream scenario is an indictment recc coming down well into the general, when it's far too late for the Dems to put an alternative candidate in. ----------------

Raerlynn posted:It means you're looking for a conspiracy that doesn't exist. Hillary Clinton is under federal investigation by the FBI. Her husband meets with the woman who will decide whether or not to pursue charges for 30 minutes, and he does so secretly on a parked plane with 0 press coverage. Lynch then says all they talked about was grandkids and golf. These are indisputable facts. If you fail to take these facts and form the opinion "this stinks a little bit", I have to question your sanity. ----------------

Jarmak posted:People realize that prosecutors in charge of making charging decisions in big cases frequently meet with the person they're considering charging and/or their lawyer right? Like "tell me why I shouldn't charge you for this" Did Bill have his lawyer with him? I haven't heard anything about that. I'd be more understanding if that were the case; right now it sounds more like "Hey Lynch, is there anything the Clinton Foundation can do for you?" ----------------

Why would Lynch bother apologizing and say "it'll never happen again" if the only people that care are right-wing nuts?

Trabisnikof posted:Because for literally months we have known the interview was coming and that interviewing Clinton was going to be one of the last steps in the investigation? I'm trying to figure out how "we knew an FBI interview was coming" immediately leads you to "the investigation is nothing." You always interview the primary target of a criminal investigation last, and often just before charges are brought. ----------------

Pyroxene Stigma posted:Any day now. Yes, quite literally any day now. If we reach the DNC convention and no charges are brought, I'd be very skeptical of any ever coming. I'm inclined to accept whatever recommendation the FBI gives to lynch wrt indictment. On the other hand, if we get a bunch of agents (and Comey) going public saying they were interfered with, that changes things. ----------------

You seem to be trying to catch me in some sort of Gotcha moment, but I'm being entirely sincere. The DOJ could potentially play politics, but I trust Comey & the FBI to do a fair and thorough investigation. If they fail to recommend indictment, I will accept that there isn't enough evidence to bring charges against her. RuanGacho posted:I'm waiting keyboard cat. What? ----------------

Kobayashi posted:So basically you're saying you'll never give up the email thing? Not through the election, not through Hillary's first and second terms, not after she leaves office? What do you mean "give it up"? I'm not a law enforcement official, and I don't go around ranting about it in daily life. I posted a single article from a mainstream news site about a presidential frontrunner being interviewed by the FBI, and I did so in a thread ostensibly about US politics. ----------------

thecluckmeme posted:What horse poo poo are you going to peddle after the non-indictment? Radio silence until the 9th Benghazi investigation to nowhere? Or doubling down on the inevitable "independent investigation" into the public e-mails by a republican think tank? Good god man, calm down. 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). ----------------
