Remaining Above the Law

"Gentleman, whenever you have a group of individuals who are beyond any investigation, who can manipulate the press, judges, members of our Congress, you are always going to have in our government those who are above the law."
--Nico Toscani (Above the Law)

Evidence now shows that Hillary Clinton routinely swapped emails classified as top secret with various aids, which suggests the possibility that those aids could be indicted alongside Clinton.

Judge Nap remains confident that recommendations to indict are pending from the FBI.

Those recommendations would then go to the Department of Justice and the Attorney General. Of course, since the AG was appointed by President Obama, there is a better than average chance that the DOJ will seek to whitewash the issue (see lack of follow-thru on the IRS/Tea Party scandal for an example).

The judge feels that even if the AG rejects an FBI recommendations to indicts, "the repercussions against Mrs Clinton will be, in my view, as catastrophic to her political career as if she'd been indicted."

Meanwhile, what we are observing is a textbook case of a political official struggling to remain above the law.
