Does Obama endorsement undercut Clinton FBI probe?

I'd have to say yes. Obama said he has given no directive to the DOJ or FBI, but when he comments publicly that there is no case against Hillary, his words have the authority of a directive. The signal is clear to Loretta Lynch. TD

Politico  "President Barack Obama has guaranteed that the FBI's investigation into his former secretary of state’s private email server will be carried out without political influence, but his endorsement of Hillary Clinton Thursday resurrected the issue — for some, at least.

"Fox News' Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen brought up the probe during Thursday’s White House press briefing, asking Press Secretary Joshua Earnest if Obama’s endorsement would trickle down and affect the Department of Justice employees involved in the investigation.

“You have other employees of the executive branch, career prosecutors, FBI agents, working this case who have now just heard how the president wants to see this case resolved, in essence. Isn't there some conflict there?” Rosen asked Earnest.

“ 'James, there's not,” Earnest replied. “The reason that the president feels confident that he can go out and make this endorsement and record a video in which he describes his strong support for Secretary Clinton's campaign is that he knows the people who are conducting the investigation aren't going to be swayed by any sort of political interference. They aren't going to be swayed by political forces.' ” . . .

Jerome R. Corsi  . . . "Lerach’s relationship with Bill Clinton traces back to the 1990s, when Lerach leveraged large contributions to Clinton and other Democratic Party candidates to win President Clinton’s agreement to veto legislation that threatened to impinge upon Lerach’s profitable class-action lawsuit racket." . . .

“Between 1989 and 1994, Lerach and his ilk have launched class actions against 53 of California’s top 100 high-tech companies,” Forbes continued. “The cases rarely go to trial: To save time, money and productivity-draining aggravation, the targeted companies usually settle.

Obama’s Retreat Emboldens China

What happens when Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers have had influence on US foreign policy.

Legal Insurrection  . . . "As President Obama set about to reduce the U.S. footprint in the world and divert country’s military preparedness to chase the spectre of Climate Change — seven years ago, Communist China has been investing in a massive project to build and militarise artificial islands beyond its recognised maritime borders. China now contests 80 percent of the South China Sea, staking its control over one of the busiest maritime route in the world.

"But don’t expect Kerry to give the “lion’s roar” in Beijing, warning the Chinese leadership of consequences for their aggressive actions. Well, he did warn the Chinese; urging them to reduce their emissions, or (in Kerry’s own words) their “cities are going to be in the eye of the climate change storm”. In Kerry’s world these climate warnings would really get Beijing bosses shaking in their boots.

"The fact that China is investing billions of dollars in artificial islands built just above the sea level, tells you all you need to know about what Beijing thinks of Obama-Kerry’s Climate Change Scare." . . .

Stacey Dash on Hillary's 'Woman' Platform: 'Ridiculous'

Newsmax   "Actress and political commentator Stacey Dash Wednesday slammed as "ridiculous" Hillary Clinton highlighting her status Tuesday as the first woman to be a major political party's nominee, telling Newsmax TV that "I think she's a criminal."  Video

" 'She has blood on her hands — and I think she should be in prison, not running for president," Dash, 49, told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview.

"She is the author of the new memoir, "There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative."

Comedian Argus Hamilton reflects: 

Hillary Clinton confirmed a delegate count by the Associated Press Tuesday and claimed she has the votes for the Democratic nomination for president. It’s history. The nomination brings Hillary a step closer to achieving the Clinton dream of being America’s first two-impeachment family.

Hillary censors paperback version of Hard Choices   . . . "It kind of makes me wonder where the State Department got the idea that it was ok to snip out video of embarrassing questions from its own briefings, and thereby censor the historical record."

More unintended consequences of Hillary’s email server  "Have a look at this article. Here is an unintended consequence of Clinton's private server, coupled with a FOIA request. Deb Riechmann writes:

The names of CIA personnel could have been compromised not only by hackers who may have penetrated Hillary Clinton's private computer server or the State Department system, but also by the release itself of tens of thousands of her emails, security experts say. (snip). . .
