WH Denies Endorsement Will Intimidate FBI Investigators - Obama meets privately with Loretta Lynch

Weekly Standard ^ | June 9, 2016 | Daniel Halper

[Zakeet]

White House press secretary Josh Earnest insisted that President Obama's endorsement of Hillary Clinton will not "sway" the ongoing FBI investigation into Clinton.

[Snip]

Later this afternoon, according to the White House, Obama is meeting with the attorney general. The meeting is "closed press."

The FBI is no less corrupt than the rest of the government. The IRS used to be considered immune from politics - it is neck deep in demonrat business. EPA, TSA, DOJ even the National Parks are corrupt to favor the communist party. The FBI is no different - just a bunch of corrupt partisan bureaucrats supporting demonrats over the good of the country. FBI will do nothing.

[Dr. Ursus]

He ain’t Saint James!

[alloysteel]

The fix is in. Short of the FBI going public with a great bulk of the information they have collected, not much chance of this ever surfacing if The Donald is NOT elevated to the Presidency.

May you live in interesting times.

If you listen to the talking heads, Republican and Democrat alike he’s a straight up guy. Judge Jeannine thinks he’s great and I hope she’s right.

[Vermont Lt]

Please dont take this as me defending Hillary—but if you found yourself being called in front of the FBI and Congressional Hearings, wouldn’t YOU lawyer up?

I’ve seen enough episodes of Law and Order to know that talking to any of those people requires legal counsel.

[I want the USA back]

The endorsement won’t have an effect. His phone call to the fbi and the “justice” department will.

[BigEdLB]

Are you sure?

[alloysteel]

I kind of liked the “Ytump”. Sometimes typos take on a wisdom of their own.

[KC_Lion]

Never believe anything until it’s been Officially Denied.

weakly standard...

So similar to Eleanor Clift not buying Newsweek (for a 1$).

[timestax]

You KNOW she will do it again....place an illegal server somewhere in /near White House. Use wrong type of Blackberry again ! Prolly in Chelsea's name or Billdo's name. Then what? ! Let it be known now, that people will be watching.

[Bullish]

Obama and Hillary don’t care a bit about national security or top secrets.

AS USUAL ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THEIR FILTHY POLITICS AND THEIR POWER.

[Robert DeLong]

I think we figured that to be the case. But at first I did think that was a new name for him, LOL.

[Billthedrill]

Couple that with hildabama’s statement to Brett Baer that there’s ZERO chance this will be a problem.

Yep. The criminals are smirking at us and rubbing our noses in it. I'm starting to develop a sneaking admiration for Robespierre...

[Chuckster]

Ah the game is in the fourth quarter. We know what the prize is but we do not know where the goalposts are, who all the players are actually playing for, or what the score really is.

Re-reading Machiavelli and playing a lot of “What if...”

[SunkenCiv]

The Weekly Standard printed this, so it must not be so.

[Buckeye McFrog]

No way Clinton sees jail time for this.

The object is to keep her out of the White House. No matter what happens she won't be going to jail.

Pardonmageddon. January 19, 2017.

[InterceptPoint]

Short meeting.

Obama: Can you stop the leaks if we don’t prosecute?
Lynch: No.
Obama: Hmmm. Let’s meet again tomorrow.

[dowcaet]

So true. Republicans manned up and did the right thing when it came to Nixon, but Watergate wasn’t a treasonous episode the way Hillary’s e-mail scandal is.

[pgkdan]

Let him endorse her. He’s the friggin’ kiss of death to any candidate other than himself. Remember in 2014 when he said “my name’s not on the ballot but my policies are.” How’d that work out for him?
