4. We already know that McTurtle went to Obama and threatened him

With turning it into charges of a partisan witch hunt right before the election if Obama said anything.

One of Obamas biggest mistakes. Its all hindsight sure, and he, like everyone else, thought Hillary was going to win regardless. So why tempt fate and throw them that ammunition that would have been fired, full guns blazing, from Fox News 24/7?

Obama was a terrific President, but he was also a play-it-safe politician. He was a pragmatic to a fault and thus taken advantage of because of that.

I know it wasn't just Obama's decision not to publicize it. I'm sure Democratic leadership personnel, maybe even those connected with Hillary's campaign, who knew about it encouraged him to keep his yap shut. But he was the President, he could have said, this is too important to keep quiet as its our nation's security and our democratic system that is at risk here. This goes beyond party loyalty.

And I also think it would have not been as detremental as those top Dems thought it would be. At least it would have exposed doubt in some true Trump believers. It would have evened the playing field that each was being investigated. And one for using an unsecured email server, and the other for treason. I think it would have been more than ok for the public to know earlier.
