throw out something, anything, that will distract the public from the new Fire and Fury book, and the ongoing and tightening Russia investigation. Not to mention all the people that are discovering the new tax cut plan will actually cost them more.

This investigation won't go anywhere.

OTOH, using law enforcement to go after political enemies is Stalinist.

Hillary is flawed leaders. It is all about recapturing ratings lost to Comcast Media. If you recall,during 2016 CNN screen crawler carried a anti Hillary message daily.

The Fire/Fury book has exposed the Media to their failed news reporting and collusion with the Trump Crime Family for pure profit motive.

If what was reported last evening is true,the FBI Office out of Arkansas is runnning this witch hunt. And a local Political Patron is their go to source,this could and most likely will make tons of Breaking News for CMM and Fake Noise.

It would be naive to think that just because Hillary wasn't elected, the sexism misogyny magically disappeared. It's as deeply entrenched as ever. It was never about Hillary but always about the fact she's a woman. Watch what happens to the next woman who runs for president.

didn't win because she's a woman. She didn't win because she took certain states for granted and made an assumption that they would vote for her. Hillary needed to go to every state and fight for votes and make promises of jobs and a better country etc..

The thought of money subverting the will of the people. It's worthy of being reported. The problem is they won't report the FBI's findings unless there is something there. What that does in itself is give the impression that guilt has been established. It's one of the things they have always done to the Clintons. Not follow up on reports after all of the info is in.
