The last impediment to Hillary Clinton reaching the presidency.
Will he do what is right?
Or will he allow DC politics to intercede and push him aside?
It’s up to you, Director Comey.
But I would say this.
Both you and I know what is right and what is wrong.
Choose wisely.
And if you choose wrongly, I will know it.
As will all the rest of the national sheepdogs.
I am a sheepdog.

Because the DOJ doesn’t grant immunity for no reason whatsoever.

Justice Dept. grants immunity to staffer who set up Clinton email server
by Adam Goldman
The Justice Department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement official.
The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.
If you check my blog, you may recall that I said a source indicated Hillary Clinton may in fact be indicted. The evidence is so overwhelming as to make itself almost too impossible to ignore, even in the current administration. The reason that Hillary has enjoyed her impervious position is, in my estimation, because Obama fears a revelation about himself. That would be correct, insofar as a recent email found on Clinton’s server regarding Obama will not be revealed due to security issues. Imagine that.
Still and all, the Washington Post has made a rather startling revelation.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are still roughly nine months to go.
Much can change.

Control. And secrecy.
And more proof that not only is Hillary Clinton a liar with regard to her emails, so is the State Department.
From the NYPost.com:
‘This was all planned’: Former IG says Hillary, State Dept. are lying
by Paul Sperry
The State Department is lying when it says it didn’t know until it was too late that Hillary Clinton was improperly using personal emails and a private server to conduct official business — because it never set up an agency email address for her in the first place, the department’s former top watchdog says.
Read that again: “The State Department is lying,” and “because it (the State Department) never set up an agency email address for her (Hillary Clinton) in the first place.”
Meaning: the State Department already had knowledge that she was going it alone for email. And had no need for theirs.
“This was all planned in advance” to skirt rules governing federal records management, said Howard J. Krongard, who served as the agency’s inspector general from 2005 to 2008.
The Harvard-educated lawyer points out that, from Day One, Clinton was never assigned and never used a state.gov email address like previous secretaries.
To me this is clearly indicative of planning aforethought. Purposeful planning.
Mr Krongard confirms my thoughts.
“That’s a change in the standard. It tells me that this was premeditated. And this eliminates claims by the State Department that they were unaware of her private email server until later,” Krongard said in an exclusive interview. “How else was she supposed to do business without email?”
“How else was she supposed to do business without email?”
Krongard becomes even more focused in his rightful and informed accusations.
“It’s clear she did not want to be subject to internal investigations,” Krongard said. An email audit would have easily uncovered the secret information flowing from classified government networks to the private unprotected system she set up in her New York home.
Why no audit?
Would it surprise you to know that, during Mrs Clinton’s time as secretary of state, from 2009 to 2013, there was no internal Inspector General for the State Department? That was the longest period of time any federal department has gone without an IG.
Coincidence?
Read what Mr Krongard has to say about the appearance of classified information on her private server.
He (Krongard) says “the key” to the FBI’s investigation of Emailgate is determining how highly sensitive state secrets in the classified network, known as SIPRNet, ended up in Clinton’s personal emails.
“The starting point of the investigation is the material going through SIPRNet. She couldn’t function without the information coming over SIPRNet,” Krongard said. “How did she get it on her home server? It can’t just jump from one system to the other. Someone had to move it, copy it. The question is who did that?”
“Someone had to move it, copy it. The question is who did that?”
But first, Clinton insisted that the “homebrew” server was in her house in Chappaqua, New York, in some kind of closet, allegedly guarded by USSS agents. Her house, not the server.
However, privately hired hackers for Fox News figured out Clinton lied about the physical location of the server.
Now, working with publicly available tools that map network connectivity, experts have established that the last “hop” before the mail server’s Internet Protocol, or IP, address (listed as 64.94.172.146) is Internap’s aggregator in Manhattan (listed as 216.52.95.10).
“This is a very strong indication that the clintonemail.com server is in Manhattan,” the source told Fox News.
Well, now isn’t that interesting?
But wait; there’s more!
According to an Ars Technica investigation, however, Clinton’s email server was located in Alabama at one point while she served as America’s chief diplomat. Moreover, its substandard security left it vulnerable to a series of common hacking techniques.
It defies logic to believe that a high value target like the secretary of state’s electronic communications were not probed by foreign intelligence services over the course of her tenure in the president’s Cabinet, and reports increasingly suggest that those agencies did not encounter many obstacles in their effort to compromise her communications.
One can only logically conclude that Hillary Rodham Clinton is a congenital liar and wouldn’t know the truth if it removed a beefy piece of cankle. Krongard also continues to blow Clinton’s stories out of the water.
Either way, there would be an audit trail for investigators to follow. The SIPRNet system maintains the identity of all users and their log-on and log-off times, among other activities.
“This totally eliminates the false premise that she got nothing marked classified,” Krongard said. “She’s hiding behind this defense. But they [emails] had to be classified, because otherwise [the information in them] wouldn’t be on the SIPRNet.”
Hillary Clinton herself said she went to her own private server for convenience.
Because she is a Clinton.
In truth, the answer to “why” is this: Hillary knew there would be no Inspector General for the Department of State. She knew she could keep that position unfilled in perpetuity during her tenure. Her comms were even more critical when she became involved in Benghazi.
With the Clintons, it’s all about control, secrecy and power. Clinton, knowing there was no IG oversight, realized she had carte blanche to run roughshod over whatever set of rules she wished. She is a Clinton. Rules are for little people, the unwashed, the proles, the serfs, the groundlings.
We also now know that Obama sent emails to her server. No one knows what kinds of communications transpired between the two, however. Yet.
FBI Director James Comey has had his agents working the Clinton server angle for some time, assembling everything necessary for a proper case. When he believes he has sufficient probable cause, he will submit the case to DOJ for an indictment and prosecution. That means the case will go to Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, who heads the department’s criminal division; Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; Attorney General Loretta Lynch; and top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.
And Barack Hussein Obama will be the ultimate arbeiter.
So what if there happens to be information of a compromising nature relating to Mr Obama on Hillary Clinton’s private server? Information he doesn’t wish made public?
I think you can see where I’m going with this.

The lack of concern about an incredible security breach by Hillary Clinton continues by the American Media Maggots — covering Hillary’s ass as is their duty, being fellow Leftists.
7800 pages of emails.
999 emails amongst those pages containing classified information. From Hillary Clinton’s private server. Much, much more serious than General David Petraeus’s incident with Broadwell and the emails of their affair. We can be sure that whatever those emails contained is now privy to Russia, China, North Korea and other nation-states who are not our friends.
Clinton should be prosecuted. No one else would get the pass that she is; the argument for Clinton is simply an AMM shibboleth.
I suspect that James Comey is assembling the most sure-and-watertight case against Hillary Clinton that he is allowed, physically and politically. I’m sure that Comey has been subject to numerous counts of intimidation by the Obama Spite House. He watched the Clintons go after former Director Louis Freeh and knows the power of their wrath.
Comey is the linchpin. Will he and can he do his job? From TheHill.com:
FBI chief is wild card for Clinton
by Bob Cusack and Ian Swanson
FBI Director James Comey is the pivotal figure in the 2016 presidential race that no one is talking about.
Comey, a Republican appointed by President Obama who enjoys a stellar reputation on both sides of the aisle, is investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of State.
Clinton is the overwhelming favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination next year and is expected to be a tough candidate for any Republican to face in 2016.
Yet the controversy surrounding her private email account remains an Achilles’ heel.
The Hill still can’t fail to throw its own dig, however.
The GOP-created House Benghazi Committee flopped in October when Clinton testified for 11 hours. That hearing failed to produce anything newsworthy about her use of a private server and attracted criticism from liberals and conservatives alike.
Its failure makes it clear that the FBI will have the final say on whether Clinton did anything wrong or illegal. And whatever the verdict is, both parties will have to accept it because Comey is, in many ways, untouchable.
But has Comey been allowed to “work the case,” was he given the information he needs, and what kind of obstructions from the Obama Spite House were thrown into the mix?
One positive note.
“My folks don’t give a rip about politics,” the 6-foot-8-inch Comey said earlier this year. “We’re competent, we’re independent and we’re honest.”
Comey also has a pattern in independence. He’s said that Syrians cannot be vetted appropriately. He agreed (as I do) that the “Ferguson Effect” is in fact having a deleterious impact on law enforcement and stands as one reason why crime is increasing. Comey disagreed with Obama on the Major Hasan mass killing, that it was related to Islam and not “workplace violence.”
This is the most highly politicized federal DOJ in the history of the United States. The DOJ sits on information, refuses to prosecute anyone on the Left or involved with the Obama Administration, refuses to prosecute New Black Panthers, refuses to do its job.
The jury is out on this one.
I still remain hopeful.

Even CNN wrote:
First on CNN: Former IRS official will not face charges for targeting political groups.
And by writing “even CNN wrote,” I meant that CNN admits the charges were the pointed targeting of political groups. What they left out was: only Conservative political groups. Notice how CNN conveniently avoided the mention of that incredibly salient point?
On the other hand, in this terribly corrupt Obama administration, are you truly shocked to your very core?
The FBI conducted the investigation. The DOJ made the decision.
“Lois Lerner used poor judgment.” And that is it.
Now, do what I call the Logical Extension.
With the decision just in, what do you suppose the chances might be of Hillary Clinton facing any DOJ charges under this, the most corrupt presidential administration in history?
I believe you have your answer.
