Unless National Security is invoked.

Obama told him if it gets bad enough, they'll try to shoehorn Crazy Uncle Joe Biden into the nomination.

according to the White House.

The White House said the meeting with Sanders had been in the works since Sanders asked Obama for some face time when he saw him a month ago at a holiday party for lawmakers.

But, you're right, Terry, PBO could have issued an ultimatum regarding the race--that, we'll never know.

"Integrity and courage are powerful weapons. We have to learn how to use them. We have to stand up for what we believe in. And we have to accept the risks and even the ridicule that comes with this stance. We will not prevail any other way."

She was in at the state department because of her position high up in the Clinton foundation.
The emails don't bother me as much as the pay to play foundation scandal. And it wasn't just the weapon sales to countries that had horrible human rights violations, and the government would first pay Bill to give a speech, then the weapon sales and then the millions of dollars in donations to her foundation.
The foundation and the state department had cross over rolls in Haiti, Libya and Honduras.
However, Bluementhal should be brought up on charges for outing a CIA operatives name and then there's the fact that he didn't have security clearance to be finding contracts that would help both him and the Clintons. And Lanny Davis and the Clintons have been involved in Honduras since 2001 and he has gotten very rich because of his relationship with the Clintons. As well as the guy from Canada. Bill's connections opened up a lot of doors for his friends that wouldn't have been opened if not for him.
Then there's Bill flying to Stein's private island where there's rumors of underaged girls and Stein has a conviction and is on the sex list (can't remember the term)

Many of their friends would get lucrative contracts after donating to the foundation.
Her brother who has no experience running a mining company got a great contract for a gold mine in Haiti.
Obama told her to keep her foundation separate from her state department duties, but she didn't. And why the hell didn't he call her out on it?
Does that man have any type of a backbone?
There are tons of hits if you do a search for Clinton foundation scandals.
Those two are too crooked to be put back in charge of the country.

. . . That timing has the potential to tee up a debate about a possible deposition of Clinton just a few weeks before she is expected to receive the Democratic nomination for president at the party's national convention in Philadelphia.

OLinda.

'Something' just isn't right about this so-called investigation. I'm almost doubting that there is one--aside from a 'kabuki-like' one, designed to give this Administration 'cover.'

It makes no sense that a serious and credible investigation would drag out so long, without interviewing the primary subject (IMO); leaving a constricted timeline that may not allow enough time for a thorough investigation, and/or resolution before the November election.

I'm beginning to think that we're being fed a line.

At one point during my federal employment, the CID Office was a neighboring office at the Post, and the Special-Agent-In-Charge occasionally had to coordinate with our office. Needless to say, he normally didn't supply us with a lot of specifics about cases under investigation, but he did speak in general terms about them (as/when needed).

As I recall, some cases took years to complete, not months. The idea that the FBI will conduct an interview/deposition of FSC in the next month or two, and then close the case in a matter of a few weeks, goes against anything that I ever observed. (unless there really is nothing at all to the matter)

We'll see. But I sure am beginning to be very skeptical of this process.

It seemed like he threw in the towel out of disgust.
