Yet, in reporting the story, the Times' Mark Mazzetti took pains to stress: "The government has said that Mrs. Clinton is not a subject of the investigation."
Really? Well, to put it in Clintonian terms: It all depends on what the definition of "subject" is.
Though you wouldn't know it from the Times, "subject" is a term of art in criminal investigations. It refers to one of the three categories into which prosecutors fit every relevant actor. Subjects are people whose conduct is being scrutinized and who, depending on what evidence turns up, may or may not be charged. This distinguishes them from targets, who are suspects virtually certain to be indicted for an obvious crime; and from mere witnesses, whose interaction with a suspect suggests no criminality on their part (e.g., the teller in a bank hold-up, or the neighbor awakened by a fatal gunshot next door).

And it was a great article. Cleared up my misunderstandings of how the FBI works with the Justice Department.
While the exposure of the classified documents is treasonous, the real deal breaker between the voters and Hillary will be the contents of the deleted emails. Those will have the play for pay details that show how Hillary sold her office and influence in return for “donations” to the Clinton foundations.
.. Of course, it is also a near certainty that Obama will have gone on a MASSIVE pardon production...
However, a last minute pardon will not help anyone pardoned Politically. It sure didn’t help Nixon. But, the Presidency has been tarnished time and time again in the last half century.
They couldn’t get Al Capone on murder, prostitution or any other major crime. So, they nailed him on income tax evasion.
Kwick! What is the difference between Scooter Libby and Hillary Clinton!
Excuse me?
Only part of the article was posted, and the poster linked it to NR. That was implicitly asking for clickbait.
I don’t think so.
After their abomination of their most recent issue, you really want to characterize my statement as “killing the messenger?’
Really?
Yes it is unheard of for an Opinion Journal to present its opinion to its readers.. I completely understand your rage..
Ross for Boss.. oh wait I mean Trump for America..

Smarmy comment.
I remember Perot and his infomercials, complete with the voodoo stick he used to claw at his charts on tee vee.
I can’t remember seeing *any* opinion journal pull what NR just did.
So stick it.
Good for you!
Look at all the people sticking up for Hillary.
Nobody.
This isn’t a political game.
The politicians are just letting her spin in the wind and dig herself deeper into the shirt.
This is already the best year I’ve had since I was a kid! Go Democrats!
Bloomberg is spending too much money and floating too many trial balloons to not know something.
His decision to enter the race or not comes prior to the Ides of March, so we’ll know by then about Hillary.
what an eloquent response.. I feel so admonished.. in a *yuge way to be sure.

Ross For Boss -— no wait I mean Trump for America.. ;)
They are going to put her computer in jail for a long, long time.
His decision to enter the race or not comes prior to the Ides of March, so we’ll know by then about Hillary.
That sounds about right.
And sauropod , whether or not you clicked on the link, it was and is your business. Ergo, no one asked you to.
Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.
Trump will never go after her. He likes her too much.
Oh, he’ll bad-mouth her pretty well during the campaigning - but once he’s in office, he’ll back off prosecuting her.
She’s untouchable.
An orange jump suit and a SuperMax are in Hitlery’s future!
You’re welcome.
I'm guessing none of our laws apply to the witch... She could drive into crowds and kill people and the police would stand there and kiss her butt.
