The FBI summary of their interview with Hillary Clinton certainly raises more questions than it answers. Her persistant use of "I can't recall...I don't remember" makes her look like a mafia Don testifying at a racketeering trial. Her first priority clearly was to try to avoid criminal indictment.
But as I often do, I wonder if there are questions that are not just not being asked but not even being considered. The dropping of this summary on a Friday before a long holiday weekend adds to the suspicion that Director Comey is either corrupt, has been bought off or has been threatened.
That brings me to my first unconsidered question. Is Director Comey being more clever than anyone suspects? What if he deliberately did not reccomend prosecution because if he did then the Democrats would have been forced to nominate a real and actually viable candidate.
Any threats or intimidations from the Arkansas mafia aside, it's been pretty much a given for some time that Judicial Watch, WikiLeaks etc. are fully armed with truck loads of dirt on the DNC and the Clintons and that they were going to unload it at the most appropriately embarrassing moments.
The FBI release of their summary report on Friday seems to fit into this scenario and rather than being an attempt to bury its damaging nature, merely gives the Clinton's enemies time to fully digest and analyze it and then come out Tuesday with full broadside attacks. WikiLeaks hasn't even started in on the Clinton's directly.
Then comes another unconsidered question. Is Hillary deliberately sabotaging her own campaign? With it now being some 275 days since her last real press conference and her deliberate skirting of any direct questions from the media, the level of arrogance must be getting under the skin of some of the field journalists covering her campaign. Yesterday's pronouncement by her campaign staff that she will not hold a press conference unless and until she wins the election seems calculated to just piss people off. It is clearly reminiscent of Nancy Peloci saying about Obama care that "You have to pass the bill I'm order to see what's in it." So the question is, given that under existing campaign law that allows any monies raised and not spent to be converted into personal income after the campaign, and given how avaricious the Clintons are, are they just grabbing money with both fists, sabotaging the campaign and planning to walk away with their pockets full?
