Prediction?
FBI Director James Comey appears to be reopening the investigation against Hillary Clinton regarding her email server.
More than that, he’s broken with DOJ tradition and the will of AG Loretta Lynch, and has informed Congress about the reopened investigation.
The media can’t seem to figure out what is going on. The Clinton email scandal was a Vast-Right-Wing-Conspiracy-Nothingburger©, according to the echo chamber. So why is Comey doing this?
Here’s my take:
The whole thing stunk from the very beginning.
There was the tarmac meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton.
Comey’s original press statement was pretty much “she did it, but we doubt we can find a jury to convict her, so we’re not going to bother pressing charges.”
Next we find out that a State Department official offered someone at the FBI for a “quid pro quo” deal to help Clinton, all at arms length from Hilary.
Then we find out recently that Virginia Governor and Clinton puppet and proxy Terry McAuliffe has a Super PAC which donated nearly half a million dollars to the Senate bid of the wife of an FBI official who was investigating Hillary Clinton.
This is about as much evidence of a conspiracy as you can get without actual video of a confession and a handover of cash. Now it wreaks of criminality and influence peddling.
Where do we go from here…
Trump can’t build a wall, we know that’s impossible. There are a lot of populist campaign promises that Trump has made that are unrealistic if not totally illegal or impossible.
Trump, if he gets elected, will have gotten elected on a populist wave, and so will have to do something big for his populist supporters or they will turn on him.
There is one thing that he can totally do… hire a DOJ that is not afraid of or influenced by the Clintons and have a special prosecutor appointed to have her tried and convicted.
If Trump wants to deliver on one campaign promise in a big way to his supporters, a real trial of the Clintons and their machine is within his power as the Chief Executive of this country.
I think Comey thinks that Trump is going to win the Presidency. Trump is +2 in Florida. I think Comey is afraid Trump will follow through on his promise to jail Hillary. Comey wants to get himself out of a position where he can be accused of obstructing justice by whomever Trump puts in charge of the Clinton investigation.
I’m not an expert in politics, but I believe he is trying to save his career betting on a Trump Presidency.
