Which, FWIW, makes absolutely no difference.

I was referring to the DOJ not the FBI. Obama can control whether or not the DOJ goes after Hillary regardless of what the FBI thinks. My point was that if Obama thinks as you said that there's no way he can get around the FBI's recommendation, then he's more apt to let the DOJ go after Hillary, plue he hates her anyway.

At least Wikileaks did not get access to her server nor did the traitor hiding in Russia.

Some of them were born classified due to the nature of their content. Whether they were marked classified or not is irrelevant. Something we would expect someone in her position would have understood.

The FBI is part of DoJ.

this is about a ten minute read. It gives some pretty dark summarizations of things that may come.

Yes but FBI investigations are not within the purview of the president whereas the AG is. Obama knows he can control Lynch but not Comey.

Comey reports to Lynch. If Obama can "control" Lynch, he can control Comey.
