[Great editorial] Clinton–Obama Emails: The Key to Understanding Why Hillary Wasn’t Indicted
National Review ^ | January 23, 2018 | by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 01/23/2018 2:02:42 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

New FBI texts highlight a motive to conceal the president’s involvement.

From the first, these columns have argued that the whitewash of the Hillary Clinton emails caper was President Barack Obama’s call - not the FBI’s, and not the Justice Department’s. The decision was inevitable. Obama, using a pseudonymous email account, had repeatedly communicated with Secretary Clinton over her private, non-secure email account.

If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton–Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges.

That is why such an indictment of Hillary Clinton was never going to happen. The latest jaw-dropping disclosures of text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, illustrate this point.

The farce was complete with the Justice Department and FBI permitting two subjects of the investigation - Mills and Clinton aide Heather Samuelson - to sit in on the interview as lawyers representing Clinton. That is not something law enforcement abides when it is serious about making a case. Here, however, it was clear: There would be no prosecution.

All cleaned up: no indictment, meaning no prosecution, meaning no disclosure of Clinton–Obama emails. It all worked like a charm . . . except the part where Mrs. Clinton wins the presidency and the problem is never spoken of again.

Now that the investigation has been reopened, what are the odds. Will Hillary & Obie be charged? Are they already part of the Millions of Sealed Indictments?

Obama knew all about the illegal server because he was ultimately benefitting from the Clinton’s corruption.

McCarthy is one of the smartest and clear-thinking men online. I never miss his columns. I wish he was in Rosenstein’s position.

That may be, but still no excuse. The charges would be nowhere equivalent, based on what we know either. Obama did not:

- store messsgaes on a private server
- destroy severs
- desroy cellphones
- lie about it repeatedly
- was not President
- more I forgot

This certainly explains the meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton in Arizona. They hashed out the details of covering up the fact that Obama had a private email address and that Hillary wouldn’t be charged, so Obama’s email address wouldn’t be exposed.

IMO, Obama is motivated by two things: progressive ideology and money.

IMO, he used his presidency to advance the first, and planned on using his post-presidency to enrich himself. Who better to follow $$ than the Clinton Crime Syndicate?

IMO, Hussein received a cut in the Uranium One deal, the Iran nuke sham, and all the other Clinton payola schemes. IMO, Hussein has stashed large sums of cash all over the world from Iran to Bangkok.

If Andy McCarthy is right, both the Clintons and the Obama’s could be indicted. That would be hugh!

I’d like Congressional hearings to humiliate the two. I can’t see them being brought into a DC court and convicted by a DC jury. What’s the chance that one of their admirers won’t make it onto a DC jury to do jury nullification. Probably zero.

And still nothing will happen. We could have a live tv broadcast of Shillary and Odumbo concocting the whole scheme and nothing would happen to them.

Yet, if any of us were to threaten either of them we'd be carted off to jail so fast our collective heads would swim.

Absolutely. Kickbacks for protection. Look at the lifestyle he leads.
