If he wanted to. Explained at Down With Tyranny:
Hedge fund "managers also receive 20 percent of gains that their funds generate over time, known as carried interest. These profits are taxed at the lower capital gains rate, thanks to a 1993 ruling by the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service.
Who are a few of the beneficiaries?
To be fair, the former Secretary of State had a pretty nice speech in Cleveland, though I take issue with some of it. More on that in a bit.
"Dem's and Independents who will not vote for Hillary"
I don't know how to do this but let's get a petition going and get over 1 million supporters to then submit to the DNC and President Obama
I am ashamed of myself for taking the bait eight years ago. I knew better but I shut that all down and got swindled again. There were those who saw him for what he is back then but I ignored them. "Hope and Change" turned into Monsanto people being appointed right away and then the sell out on the banks and so much more.
I deplore the republicans for their racist stupidity because if they had any integrety at all they could have nailed him legitimately so many times.

Let me paint you a picture.
President Obama decides to back Hillary and also at the same time obstruct the FBI investigation and it then comes out, which it will.
Now the Republican's can begin Impeachment proceedings against him right in the middle of the election. Of course he would not be impeached (not enough time) but they do not care about that, they will destroy his place in history and kill any chance of Hillary winning, two birds with one stone.
Too many liberals and Democrats seem obsessed with talking about Donald Trump all the time. It's all about the latest crazy thing Trump says or does and why he is the worst person ever.
I'm not crazy about some of his policies (re: Mid-east), but he does have humanity and humility.

Seems like the Department of Justice just can't seem to avoid stepping in crap of its own making. First they were tardy looking into Hillary's email fiasco, of which there was knowledge as far back as 2013.
Then Loretta Lynch refuses to appoint a special prosecutor in the Hillary emails.
Third, DOJ allowed the entire correspondence of Clinton IT guru, Brian Pagliano, to disappear without a trace from State Dept files.
Damn mistake to go through the recent diary list on dailykos. Of course I had to sneak into one that got over 1000 comments (huzzah Markos, it's good for your business, congratulations).
I am honest here, that was a diary and comment thread, which makes me want to move to a place somewhere over the rainbow. You expect me to write a real essay about it? No, I can't, I am just too tired of life in the "incrementalist's dream world". I rather go fishing.
