Related: About this forumThe FBI’s Interview of Hillary Clinton Will Save Obama’s Legacy and Nominate Bernie Sanders
The FBI, led by Director James Comey, has now finished examining Clintons private emails and home server. And the sources add that Comeys FBI team has been joined by the Justice Department prosecutors. Together, they are now examining the evidence, analyzing relevant laws, and attempting to arrange interviews with key figures in the investigation.
Those interviews, according to attorneys, will include former State Department aides Philippe Reines, Former Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and Clinton herself.
Soon after those interviews in the next few days and weeks officials expect Director Comey to make his recommendation to Attorney General Loretta Lynch about potential criminal charges.
Thus, the closing chapter in a year-long FBI probe could likely end in the FBIs recommendation to Attorney General Loretta Lynch about potential criminal charges. With Bryan Paglianos immunity deal and interviews of Clinton and her associates scheduled at the end of the investigation, criminal indictments seem imminent.
Get ready for a Bernie Sanders nomination and presidency, since Sanders beats Trump by a wider margin than Clinton. I explain in the following appearance on CNN International that Clinton faces FBI indictment, and in another CNN International appearance that Bernie Sanders is the best hope against Donald Trump.

(29,728 posts)The FBI is expected to interview Clinton's closest aides and the presidential candidate may also be part of its investigation. It's not clear when the investigation will be completed. The FBI has not formally named Clinton as a target and she has not been accused of any crimes.

(29,728 posts)and I keep waiting for serious journalists to confirm, but none due. I'll wait, even though it is nerve wracking that our primaries are in such turmoil.

(1,377 posts)Yes the GOP started this whole thing kinda via Benghazi. In that bullshit GOP thing it was discovered that Clinton had her own email server. Skip ahead 1500 Benghazi hearings later and a Hacker in Romania hacked into a bunch of Famous USA peoples email accounts. One of them being Sidney Blumenthal. The Hacker then sent some emails to Wikileaks and they published them and the emails matched some from the printed emails Clinton Turned over that where not public. This got Obama admin to become alarmed. So AG was tasked with setting up a investigation of this. So FBI took the server and backup servers used to look at them. Sot his is not a RW made up scandal but investigation that WH was worried about and tasked FBI with. The GOP congress are actually being very quiet about this because they are praying for the GE and chance to unleash it on Clinton. I mean look at all hoopla they made over a made up bullshit Benghazi thing. This one actually could be something if the FBI found anything.

(9,148 posts)But if you're Rove or Kochs & you've got to run a smear campaign, well they are the finest smearers there are.
They've got a whole media army out spreading the OMG!! Message they send out through "unnamed" Congressmen cuz their 11 hr Gowdy (Issa) lead, top notch inquiry blew up in their faces exposing the whole thing was a smear against Hillary Clinton as soon as she announced her candidacy, well ya don't really think the good old boys at the top of the heap of power, money & control are going to stop there did ya?
Remember, Hillary Clinton represents everything that would bust their game open & they wouldn't be at the top anymore, would they.
Its not like we've never heard of Rove/Koch manipulation before. This is nothing new, its predictable.
The difficult thing to understand is how so many people know this is a typical Rove smear campaign & yet still are so happy to pile on.
They know its a lie yet keep the Rove smear & lies moving like a big old frat party.
Because this.is how their game has always been played.
America be damned.
