One day is "later"

So, yesterday I said the criminal probe of Hillary Clinton would come later. Maybe it was only one day later:
The FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unsecured e-mail account is not just a fact-finding venture — it’s a criminal probe, sources told The Post on Wednesday.

The feds are investigating to what extent Clinton relied on her home server and other private devices to send and store classified documents, according to a federal source with knowledge of the inquiry. 
“It’s definitely a criminal probe,” said the source. “I’m not sure why they’re not calling it a criminal probe.

“The DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI can conduct civil investigations in very limited circumstances,” but that’s not what this is, the source stressed. “In this case, a security violation would lead to criminal charges. Maybe DOJ is trying to protect her campaign.”
Nah, they aren't trying to protect her campaign. My working theory about all this, which is hardly unique, is pretty simple: the current administration doesn't trust the Clintons. They'd rather have someone more loyal be the successor. They'd even settle for a pliant Republican disinclined to make waves, e.g., Jeb Bush.

At bottom, the Clintons are grifters. The Obamas play for keeps.

Perhaps Sandy Berger can smuggle documents into Hillary while she's in prison.

Artful failure to prosecute Hilliary without actually fully prosecuting her.

Hope and pray that whoever replaces Obama does a lot to undo the damage he's done, and that he doesn't shy away from full investigations of the Obama scandals and putting people in jail who belong there--like Lois Lerner, Hilliary Clinton, and their former boss.
