Loretta Lynch has already broken the seal on her foray into the morass of prosecutorial discretion. She dismissed the IRS investigation.
Justice Department officials used "prosecutorial discretion" to shelter former IRS official Lois Lerner from a grand jury after she was held in contempt of Congress. "I believe that in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, the matter was handled and was resolved," Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the House Judiciary Committee.
Lerner is just the beginning. The IRS dismissal, large enough on its own scale and importance, will be but a side event in this attorney general's career. For the longer the Hillary email "scandal" plays out, the more protracted the discovery and analysis by the FBI, and the deeper into the campaigning and nomination process we go, the less likely any indictment of Ms. Clinton. It will likely involve a discretionary event by Loretta Lynch.
The more Hillary becomes the likely nominee, the greater the political aspects of the FBIs work. To now dethrone the Democrat nominee with an indictment is much more difficult than if it had been done after the Iowa caucus. And the closer we get to the convention, the more distasteful and difficult any action against Hillary.

That may be true, but, in yet another wrinkle, I strongly suspect Hillary won’t be the only person referred for indictment...
That exact verse came to my mind as well.
I don’t think it matters. Obama will give Hillary a blanket pardon just before the door swings on his backside.
If he doesn’t Hillary would be seeing bars within the year. We’ll see just how strained Obama’s relations are with the Clintons.
I see you know your bible!
Like the Republicans have enough of what resembles a gonad between the entire lot to even entertain such an act.
I think that Hillary has problems whether she is pardoned or not. If she gets the pardon, it just plays right into Trump's anti-establishment campaign. He could point to the pardon as just another example of the government elites playing by a different set of rules. Of course, Hillary is toast if she is indicted by the Justice Department run by a Democrat administration.
The best thing that Hillary can hope for is that the Justice Department acts quickly and decides to exercise prosecutorial discretion and pass on bringing charges. However, she can't have this done in the middle of the general election campaign or it is the same situation as a pardon. However, it might already be too late for this action to keep this issue from undermining her campaign.
I hope that in 51 weeks, charges will be filed by our new Department of Justice against Lois Lerner, Hillary Clinton, and every other criminal who abused federal power under the corrupt, anti-American Obama Regime. Justice must be served, and they are all due extra helpings.
If there’s a Republican POTUS elected in Nov, the folks you named will plead guilty and buy pardons from Obama.
I’m beginning to give a little weight to the view that assassins may be dispatched to take out Trump. It was his tweet that the Fed should be audited that closed the loop starting with his vow to get the truth about 9-11, truth about WMD scare tactics in Iraq, about prosecuting the Clintons.
I normally stay away from such arenas of speculation. But the hatred and panic of the political establishment and their lackeys in the media are unprecedented in my lifetime. I’ve never seen such hostility and aggressive vehemence at this level, and I’ve been around for awhile.
But it was the Fed tweet that has turned me to look at the possibility that plans could be in works to take him out.
Looking back in history at any important politician who was in a position of causing concern and affecting action about the Federal Reserve (Ron Paul was allowed to escape because he was not a concern), one finds unexpected early retirements, disappearances, deaths, accidents.
I have felt this way since Odungo started “ taking over” police departments.
Without a whimper from the states involved.
When the Hildebeast crushes The Donald in November, it will only get worse.
The GOP might even lose the Senate again (not that anyone would notice).
Maranatha!
Rush just pointed out that all Dem primaries and cauci have been at or near record low turnout. Amazing since our population is a new record every day.
