16. The FBI stuff appears to be almost done.
Tue May 24, 2016, 07:30 PM
May 2016

The hacker is finalizing a plea deal with FBI and DOJ tomorrow. The anonymous grand jury judge granted immunity to the IT guy a few months ago. The DOJ lawyer team is known for their speed and skill. The aides have been interviewed. Blumenthal acts like he has been interviewed. The deleted emails recovered and sorted. Some of the other players look like they are getting set for their own interviews.

It would be nice if it was over sooner if she's guilty of what it looks like she's guilty of....
