Which of these is most likely?
The FBI conducts a thorough review of Ms.Clinton's computer and thumb drive and clears her of destroying or hiding public documents.
The FBI finds evidence of destruction or hiding public documents
This is a sham investigation to allow the justice department to take the email question out of the campaign
How much you want to bet there is something about Obama on there, maybe even regarding Benghazi (Trey Gowdy said there were no emails for that time period included in the ones Clinton turned over) and he will squash it at the DOJ.
At the very least, everything should have been given to State as soon as this came out simply to protect the data.
This could be life and death stuff. What if one cable - for example - had information on Iranian domestic opposition.
If the server has indeed been hacked by the Chinese and Russians - as has been speculated - and they give that info to the Iranians, those people are dead.
Quote:
likely that Justice Department won't proceed on this. They allowed the server and thumb drives to remain in her/her attorney's possession for months. (The e-mails are USG property, not hers). It's unbelievable they weren't seized as soon as it was disclosed (not to get her in trouble, but simply to protect the data).

Well she's already ok'ed the sale of uranium to the Russians (after receiving donations for the Clinton Foundation, of course). I think there are many people who could blackmail her. And the Chinese are probably reading everyone's email.
Just for shits and giggles?
b)It's also amusing that you decided this out of nowehere, based on absolutely nothing. I guess you just like the sound of it?
Aside from the interesting points in the piece itself, I could almost see a scenario where the following can be said of the Republicans for nominating a non-serious nominee to face Hillary or Hillary dropping out and the Democrats being left with Bernie freaking Sanders to go up against a Republican candidate.

That is sad.
They'd probably steamroll, unless the Republicans nominated someone truly frightening. Bernie would be the most left of center nominee since Henry Wallace was Veep, no?
I wasn't joking, if Trump is the Republican nominee I will start looking for real estate elsewhere. I love this country, but we would be done.
Someone has to. I don't think Biden is the guy to do it. He has a gag reel a mile long. But there has to be a purple state governor or senator eyeing his moment, no?
That party is literally off the walls, with the exception of Kasich.

I always heard that nothing is really erased from a hard drive, that's why they sometimes get physically destroyed.
Beyond the "Secret" and "Top Secret" issue that was discussed I'm looking at the name Sidney Blumenthal. It's been a couple of decades since I read US v. Nixon and it's progeny, but I'm not at all certain executive privilege can be applied to communications between HRC and him.
I like Webb more than you do, but he's not particularly charismatic from the stump and he seems only moderately interested in actually holding the office.

Versus a woman who may or may not have scrubbed a private server that contained at the very least subsequently classified information before turning it over to the government for investigation and a socialist who honeymooned in the USSR and who conducted his own foreign policy as mayor of a small US city.

And if you want to base things on a one off like you have, we have a candidate on the other side with Brian Williams syndrome, claiming to have dodged non-existent sniper fire in the Balkans.
I actually like quite a bit about Webb. I suppose you can say that my negative view of him reflects disappointment more than anything else. I thought that he might be the kind of heterodox Democrat he claimed to be, but that proved to be a fleeting hope.
Joe Biden's life history was much more interesting when he was cribbing it from Neil Kinnock.
If you look hard enough, your party says and does plenty of outrageous things. You want the Republicans to nominate who only looks conservative in relation to your politics, which are significantly left of center.
Oh for fuck's sake. He's a plagiarist who has put his foot in his mouth for decades. He is deserving of a great deal of sympathy for what he endured the last several months, but let's hold off on the canonization for now.
