65. That is one line of thinking

Jul 2016

Another is Obama is telling the truth when he says he is not interfering with the FBI. At this point Clinton is not guilty of anything. Imagine how it would look if Obama was not campaigning or visibly supporting. Also doesn't help (from this perspective) that the head of FBI is republican who has had negative history with Clinton's.

There is also the possibility Obama knows she will not be the candidate, and wants his hands clean of this when/if the indictment comes, and it doesn't look like he sticking to the Clinton's so his buddy could become the president.

I personally subscribe to the theory Obama is telling to the truth and decision lies with the FBI. If I'm in this position, I will proceed with the theory she hasn't committed any crimes.
