HuffPo: Dear FBI the Democratic Party’s future rests in your hands (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/dear-fbi-the-democratic-p_b_9784334.html)

HuffPo wants the FBI to charge or clear Hillary so the Dems don't make the mistake of nominating a jailbird.


To the Honorable James B. Comey, Jr. and all the good people at the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

The majority of the Democratic Party does not believe there is an ongoing FBIcriminal investigation (http://www.wsj.com/articles/clinton-email-probe-enters-tricky-phase-as-election-intensifies-1457740880)regarding Hillary Clinton’s emails. They believe, as the former Secretary of State has told them, that your work is merely a “security review,” (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/hillary-clinton-emails-fbi-218973) or as one Democratic strategist call it, “another BS scandal.” (http://www.cnbc.com/2015/10/19/hillary-clinton-emails-just-another-bs-scandal-commentary.html) Your work, thus far, has been relegated to yet another “witch hunt.” (http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/24/politics/julian-castro-hillary-clinton-emails/) In fact, Clinton and her campaign have managed to convince millions that former secretaries of state did the same thing, which of course isn’t true. (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/mar/09/hillary-clinton/hillary-clinton-said-my-predecessors-did-same-thin/)



Also, an interesting brand of logic has been used to rationalize ignoring your email investigation. While the number of agents working on this case is said to have been around 100, some voters have actually taken solace in the fact recent reports only list dozens (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/28/there-are-147-fbi-agents-involved-in-the-hillary-clinton-email-investigation/). Only a dozen FBI agents, say loyal supporters, isn’t that big of a deal.



Since your investigation has taken so long, many people believe that nothing has been found, or simply that Clinton is too powerful to face any serious repercussions. Any attempt to warn people that Hillary Clinton could realistically face criminal indictments is either viewed as a Republican scare tactic, or lunacy. Even many Bernie Sanders supporters, a group that would benefit the most from the FBI recommending indictment of Clinton, feel it’s either disloyal, or pointless to bring up the email controversy. The massive group think within the Democratic Party, fostered by years of circumventing political scandals, has literally altered the mindset of normally rational individuals, and voters.



To a great many people, there is simply nothing Hillary Clinton can do wrong; even FBI investigations are merged with Republican Benghazi hearings.



Ultimately, your hard work, and your investigation into Clinton’s email server and correspondence, is viewed as a big, fat “nothingberger.” (http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a43713/hillary-email-nothingburger/)As Esquire’s Charles Pierce writes, The Great Hillary Email Nothingburger is Still on the Grill, and It’s Certainly Overcooked. Sadly, the FBI has become part of a satirical narrative centered upon Clinton being the victim of never-ending Republican attacks.



It’s important for everyone at the FBI to know that your investigation, and I say this with all due respect, is viewed as a source of amusement for many writers, pundits, and observers loyal to Clinton. The 22 Top Secret emails (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/30/us/politics/22-clinton-emails-deemed-too-classified-to-be-made-public.html?_r=0)on a private server (something that should disqualify anyone running for president) are either completely ignored by party faithful, or rationalized by twisted logic. Nothing is taken seriously anymore; everything is viewed through the belief that Republicans are worse, therefore Clinton’s indiscretions are meaningless.

It's a valid point. This investigation shouldn't wait until the fall, it needs to be public and they need to be quick about it. We can't afford another Nixon. It would tear our nation apart at the worst time.
