Which, FWIW, makes absolutely no difference.

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.

Well if they have something I wish they would run with it.

I really wanted Bernie to win outright, but as a Bernie Bro, I'll take it anyway I can get it.

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.

Thanks and the article makes quite a potential case against Hillary. But then some would say I am prejudiced.

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