Its interesting, what Bret Baier revealed or reported on yesterday - that the FBI believes its a virtual certainty that Clintons private server was hacked by as many as five foreign agencies - its interesting in that I dont remember Comey being that explicit when he testified to the House regarding how badly national security may have been compromised, which seems odd, not sure what thats about - but also interesting in that if five foreign agencies, which must be enemies otherwise why keep your actions secret, have the contents of the Clinton server before it was scrubbed of some 30,000 emails Clinton didnt want seen - then they very likely have some very damning info based on how damning the emails we do have are - not just from the Clinton server but from the hacked Podesta email account as well. If so, why hasnt this nasty stuff been leaked?

Three reasons I can think of. One, theres no nasty stuff. Thats hard to believe - theres no way she had 30,000 emails that were about nothing but yoga classes and wedding plans - thats just not credible. Two, they dont wanna see a President Trump - maybe the thought of such a thing is as scary to them as it is to us. Three, theyre keeping the nasty stuff back for use against a President Clinton - either to leverage her in a direction they want, or to damage her presidency at a time that would be quite useful to them. To me, three is the most likely reason, which certainly doesnt exclude two as a secondary cause.

Of course this is all speculation - but is it wild speculation? Doesnt seem so. Yes, Comey may have understated how badly Clintons private server compromised national security because we know who the five foreign agencies were and theyre all friends of ours. Certainly possible. Does seem more likely though that China and Russia were of the five, maybe Iran - and quite possibly Israel. Israel would have ample reason to keep the hack hidden given how misguided and antagonistic to Israels interests Obama has been - if a President Clinton turned out to be just as misguided and antagonistic having leverage over her would be quite useful.


Obama has been an awful president - a failure in every respect - that he still talks about his Syria policy as if it were some brilliant stratagem is, I dunno, astounding - is that hubris the reflection of an arrogance so profound that it will brook no reality that doesnt confirm it? Or is the guy an idiot? Or is that just him once again with perfect ease spinning lies? Usually only psychopaths can lie with such equanimity and aplomb - maybe the guy is just nuts. Regardless - point is, quite possibly the worst president ever - is it really possible the next one could be worse? Dont know how a nation survives a malaise like that.
