The FBI is going to revolt if the Justice Department refuses to bring charges against either Hillary Clinton or her former State Department staffers.

I think this is just a big build up of "pressure and accusation," so as to "punish" Hillary without punishing her. It's a build-up of expectation.

When the pressure is taken off, she can claim she's clean, and a victim of unjustified accusation.

In effect, the accusation is being used as a tool to boost her standing, not to diminish it.

Looks to me like Johnny-come-lately is jumping onto an already crowded bandwagon.

The Justice department is owned by the White House and run by Obama. Both Holder and Lynch were, and are, there to do Obama’s bidding.
Lynch will not indict Clinton unless Obama tells her to.
If Woodward was doing his job, he would have been investigating both Clintons and Obama for the last seven years!

To the best of my recollection, no one died as a result of the Watergate break-in. So, IMHO, Hillary’s scandal is much worse.

Revolt how? Comey is an Obama hire who wants to keep his job like anyone else. He will remind the agency to “remain professional, avoid leaks and respect the decision of the Attorney General and the Chief Executive.”

Hillary.. as always.. will walk through this unscathed.

We can hope but I can't see Hillary going to prison. Maybe she will move to that mansion in Venezuela that she has always wanted.

Does the sainted Bob Woodward expect us flyover people to believe the Obama Justus Dept. is going to prosecute Hillary? or maybe the Hillary Clinton Justus dept.? Or the Jeb Bush? or Rubio?

In my opinion, stories like this are just pabulum for us yokels.

It’s not the least bit difficult to understand for those of us who have worked in the Intelligence Community for more than 24 hours. Hillary violated numerous federal regulations and broke a multitude of laws - any one of which would already have me and my colleagues in prison and answering endless streams of very uncomfortable questions.

What’s repeatedly missing in the stories about her emails is the fact that Hillary was one of but a handful of federal officials entrusted with ORIGINAL CLASSIFICATION AUTHORITY. She not only knew that what she was doing was illegal, but recognized classified information whether it was marked as such or not.

News headlines today are all about Ziggy Stardust! Except for FOX, there is not one mention of this scandal on the networks.

Absolutely nothing is "difficult to understand" about this scandal. Hillary set up an illegal email system to run her SoS and Clinton Foundation business free from any oversight. The two streams were intricately and illegally linked, as the inflow of money to her husband and her foundation influenced her actions as the Secretary of State. As a result of that jaw-droppingly criminal activity, the illegal email system facilitated her trafficking of classified information over non-secured channels, exposing that information to interception by our enemies.

There, that was easy to explain. The media uses the "difficult to explain" excuse to cover up their failure to cover the story for partisan political reasons.

Only 23 percent of independents view her as "honest and trustworthy" in the latest Quinnipiac poll.

The most serious problem with this is not that Hillary is a crook. We've all known that for decades. The worst part is that being dishonest and untrustworthy are positives with democrat voters. They want a crook because they expect to receive their share of whatever she steals.

I’d be really interested to see how the FBI would “revolt”.

I just can’t imagine it. There have been so many principles violated already in so many ways these last 7 years. I just can’t see this breaking the camel’s back.

I’m skeptical about a revolt....I’m sure they’ll be furious, but the most important consideration of any government employee is to protect their pension.

Didn’t Sandy Burger steal classified documents? What happened to him?

I think Woodward must be working with the White Hut. They want Hillary out of there ‘cause she easily could lose to Trump. They’d prefer Biden/Warren. Having a LIB equate Hillary’s crimes to Watergate is the perfect way to take her down.

It’s too late for a sacrificial pawn.

Hillary’s arrogance dooms her.

Poor Hillary. Maybe she can get Bill to teach her how to do that lip-quiver thing. She’s under a lot of pressure these days, I’m hoping she’ll crack up very publicly.

There are some deceptively unassuming people you just don't mess with.
Hillary messed with them. A lot of them.
This kind of guy.
