Does this mean Huma the tumor and all of the little tumors are also off the hook?
It is starting to look like everybody walks:
Mrs. Clinton has never been subjected to a full-blown criminal investigation, with FBI agents and prosecutors working jointly (rather than at cross-purposes), using the grand jury to compel the production of testimony and physical evidence. Such an investigation would be important here because Clinton did not act alone. Her use of private e-mail was systematic, with numerous staffers supporting it, covering it up, and moving classified intelligence through it; several underlings carried out the destruction of government files; many subordinates may have made false statements to FBI investigators; and the Clinton Foundation is a vast multi-billion-dollar enterprise ā one that will continue its potentially criminal activities if a prosecution does not put it out of business.

Is the plan to pardon everyone involved, or should Mrs. Clinton get a pass while her minions face the anxiety and costs of potential legal jeopardy?

Again, I donāt believe it will come to that. My sense is that President Obama will issue a pardon that covers not only Mrs. Clinton but any crimes committed by any person arising out of both the homebrew e-mail system and the Clinton Foundation ā including any false statements and obstruction of the FBIās investigations. That would make it case closed, sparing Obama embarrassment and Trump a political hot potato.
I originally had some hope that the NYPD would run with the ball. My hope has not been dashed just yet, but it is falling at a rapid rate of speed. (The whole damn thing might be nothing more than Beltway perverts protecting one of their own Ć la Bill Clinton.):
WND has now confirmed with the New York Police Department that in the days leading up to the presidential election on Nov. 8, the FBI terminated the NYPD investigation of Clintonās emails on former congressman Anthony Weinerās laptop, demanding that the laptop and all 650,000 State Department emails be taken to the FBI in Washington.
The move by the FBI in D.C. to shut down the NYPD investigation set the stage for Comey to declare in a letter to Congress Nov. 6 that the newly discovered emails did not change the FBIās original conclusion not to refer criminal charges.
WND has also confirmed with the NYPD that the FBI in Washington has blocked the NYPD from making any arrests in the Weiner āsextingā case involving an underage 15-year-old girl.
File this one in the BULLSHIT drawer if Trump buys it:
Earnest also expressed hope that President-elect Trump would not pursue prosecuting Clinton after he takes office, noting that the tone of Trumpās remarks on Election Night appeared conciliatory toward Clinton.
President Trump has the whole Kit & Kaboodle by the short hairs. If he lets them off cheap he can forget The Great Negotiator rhetoric he ran on. Negotiating against a foreign enemy is no different than negotiating against the enemies within. If The Donald is the negotiator he claims to be he should know that Obama, the Clintons, etc. are coming to the table looking to get something for nothing.
On Trumpās side of the table he can make the Clintons, the media, the Supreme Court, the FBI, the DoJ, and congressional Democrats pay plenty for him to drop it. In short: Squeeze them dry and to hell with this crap:
āWe have a long tradition in this country of not ā of people in power not using the criminal justice system to exact political revenge. In fact, we go to great lengths to insulate our criminal justice system from partisan politics,ā Earnest said. āAnd that commitment has served our country very well for more than two centuries, and the president is hopeful that it will continue.ā
p.s. Democrats would go after Republicans if the shoe was on the other foot.
