Why is the desperation to get Bernie out of the race so off the charts?

70. I think you got it, Barack_America!

Example: Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation of Dick Cheney for outing CIA agents. Fitzgerald got as far as Cheney aide "Scooter" Libby, but due to Libby's "obstruction of justice," couldn't go further. (In essence, Libby "fell on his sword.&quot In Fitzgerald's last press conference about this investigation, he said that, "There is a cloud hanging over the vice president's office," but that that was a "political matter," not the venue of the Department of Justice.

I've been wondering ever since, whatever did he mean? I've developed some theories about it (as to what happened next--I think there was a lot more at issue than the outings; that was just the visible part of an internal war about the nuking of Iran) but I won't go into that here. My point here is the DoJ's (and FBI's) desire to remain neutral--or to be perceived as neutral--in the political sphere.

This DOES explain the ferocity of the Clinton campaign's attack on Sanders, and that of the Clinton campaign's adjunct, the Corrupt Media. (The very media that created Trump out of nothing, as her easy foil; and who take their cues from the Clinton campaign.)

I think it also has to do with the Clinton campaign's "internals" on California. They are shit scared of a big Bernie win. (California will likely have A MILLION new voters by the registration deadline of May 23, most of them registering Democratic, with an enormous increase in young voters of 150+%!.)

But if Clinton's FBI situation is as dire as it appears from the bits and pieces we know, that, combined with the FBI's reluctance to interfere in politics (or to be perceived as such), may be the prime motive in this latest, virulent attack--to try to force Sanders out and leave her the undisputed frontrunner.

There is something else. If the FBI recommends indictment, the decider on indictment is Attorney General Loretta Lynch, a Clinton supporter and old ally. Lynch may be the one holding up the FBI report until the Clinton machine can force Sanders out.

I don't think they will be successful at forcing Sanders out. He just doesn't yield to that kind of pressure. He's not part of the pay-to-play dirty rotten scene that infests the Clinton campaign, the Clinton Foundation, the Democratic Party and most likely the entirety of our capitol city.

I don't think Sanders really wants to be president. (All the more reason to elect him, in my opinion.) Or, I guess I mean that he doesn't need to be president, like Clinton does. And I don't think he ever thought he would be in this position--so successful in his peoples' campaign as to invite this sort of "swift-boating" to shove him out (whether it's to clear the field for Clinton or Biden). I DO think he will serve, and serve well, if he gets past Clinton (or a Biden maneuver) and demolishes Trump in the GE (which he will surely do). But it's not in him to care more about politics than the issues he has so bravely and energetically raised. That's another reason to vote for him. In a sense, he CAN'T be "swift-boated."

We'll see what the next "dirty tricks" contrivance is. But he's more immune to these tactics than anybody in politics today. They've tried a lot of things on him already, God knows, and he's still winning primaries. He is beholden to no one but us--we, the people--and he seems undauntable in that commitment.
