(154,021 posts)you are new to scandals, and how they develop.
This is developing the classic way a scandal does. By the way, Sanders could have used that. I am glad he did not, from a law perspective. From a political perspective, HRC is lucky, as in very lucky, he got Sanders. Any other politician would have pounded her. But he did not. WHY? Well, if this should go to trial, this would make it very difficult to find a jury. Speaking of juries, some of the things that have come out, tell me a GRAND JURY is likely empaneled.
The FBI and the other alphabet soups are not working within political calendar, this is a lesson you learn quickly when you cover a scandal. Simply put, they give two shits about the calendar, and yes, a legal case, as simple as a kid allegedly assaulting a cop is going to take 2 plus years from arrest to final day in court. You think this case is simpler? That is why they have more agents on it.
The way the narrative changed. I am almost willing to bet, as I posted bellow, that some folks already know more than they are reporting on background as well.
