Storm Clouds Form: Bob Woodward Compares Hillary Scandal to Watergate (FBI revolt brewing)
National Review ^ | January 10, 2016 | John Fund

Posted on 01/11/2016 6:34:12 AM PST by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal has been a difficult one for the public to understand and for journalists to explain. But Bob Woodward, the Washington Post reporter who helped uncover Watergate 40 years ago, clarified things a lot on Fox News Sunday today when he said that an e-mail in the most recently released batch shows Hillary trying to "subvert the rules" that she expected others to follow.

A few days earlier, Joe DiGenova, a well-respected former district attorney for the District of Columbia, told The Laura Ingraham Show that "there is vitriol of an intense amount developing" in the intelligence community and that FBI agents "are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if [the Justice Department] refuses to bring charges" against either Hillary Clinton or her former State Department staffers.

[Snip]

Only 23 percent of independents view her as "honest and trustworthy" in the latest Quinnipiac poll. Other Democrats, including Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, would be remiss if they weren't preparing a Plan B in case this number dips even lower, making her a more vulnerable general-election candidate.

To not prosecute is to make security clearances and classified material meaningless and worthless, something every good Snowden, Wikileaks supporters, fellow Marxists, and other totalitarians would cheer ... along with everyone anywhere who every gave at thought to harming the US ...

It truly is amazing how the press and fellow democrats minimize this. Amazing too, that Woodward nor anyone else, has pushed this, when they went after Nixon for comparatively nothing.

I’ve predicted here, and will again. Obama will issue her a pardon for the email problem. Regarding her Foundation? Don’t know, as I think that’s where the real criminality lies. These people made tons of money while she was SOS.

No! I’m going all out and predict that he will give her a full an unconditional pardon for everything related to her time as SOS, because she serves with honor and distinction.

If we are going to have a Country of Laws, then we need to enforce the Country of Laws, that means that nobody is above the law...if not then why waste the time and money?

She is not alone in this, obuma, ValJar, Lynch, Holder and many others are at the top of this, and I'm not by any means sticking up for Hillary or Bill, but they all go down, or we as a Country need to fold...

It's D Day time folks, either we are or we are not....

Public servants SHOULD NOT be above the law. I don’t care if they are old hippies trying to become “da first female president.” If We the People have to live by the laws these morons create, the moronic politicians should also have to live by those same laws.

If there is no indictment, there will be a massive amount of information leaked regarding exactly what the FBI found.

Somebody is about to fall on the sword. Probably with the promise of a pardon.

That will be Cheryl Mills.

The Obama DOJ will go after Mills and hold back on pursuing Hillary.

The reason is that Hillary already promised the SENIOR AIDE TO THE PRESIDENT position to Cheryl Mills.

By eliminating Mills, then Hillary will be forced to keep the current 'senior aide' VALERIE JARRETT. If she doesn't promise to do so, then VJ and the DOJ will go after Hillary to keep her out, and probably put in LIZ WARREN or JOE BIDEN.

The survival of VALERIE JARRETT as SENIOR AIDE TO THE PRESIDENT is what will determine who goes to jail, and who runs for President in the general election.

Hillary may lose the election, but I think she’s too much of a narcissist to withdraw voluntarily.

Every one of these stories came from Joe D’s comments on the Laura show. Is he still in the know?

That is always the excuse when democrats are involved in a scandal,whitewater,Fbi files,Travel office,Rose law firm billing records,Post office check kiting,too complicated,but not Watergate,funny Hillary was fired from the Nixon impeachment committee by a lifelong democrat,Jerry Zeifman,first time he had ever done it and not given a recommendation,he called her a liar and a unscrupulous lawyer,his only regret was he did not gives her bogus report to a judge to have her disbarred.

Exhibit A: Lois Lerner

If the IRS can target conservatives with impunity, Hillary can do whatever the hell she wants. America has become a banana republic.

I disagree with the premise that people won’t understand this issue. People are not stupid. Most people have email in the work place where there are rules about what you can do. If you do not follow these rules, you could be subject to disciplinary action or be fired.

Investigate the DOJ...including their defense of the VA in malpractice lawsuits. Suppression of evidence and witness tampering.

Oh goodie, now the Dems can go all in for Bernie. The only bad thing about all this is that it may be happening too soon. A few months before the election might have been better ;- )

Haven’t we already heard Biden rumbling about how he regrets not running? Hmmmm

I think the DOJ is verify but the love for the Clintons is definitely on a downward spiral. I think the FBI might just be fed up with all that Bubba and Clod have gotten away with.

Lynch will not prosecute. Obama nominated her because as a black female she gets double-immunity from Republican criticism.

If Hillary gets out of this race it will only be because the Democrat establishment has concluded that she can’t win and they opt to kick her to the curb.

...against either Hillary Clinton or her former State Department staffers.

Ah, yes, the revolt escape hatch. Clinton can walk as long as they hang a few low-level staffers or a code monkey.
