Now, there’s an attention grabber of a headline! Actually, it’s a lot easier to write about Hillary telling the truth because there’s a lot less to write about, which is great for those of us not getting paid by the word. But follow this reasoning, please. First of all, Hillary is a money-grubbing egotistical arrogant crooked congenital liar, so this isn’t a defense of her character. But it’s likely she’s telling the truth about the FBI investigation.

In order for this theory to work, it’s necessary to start with a conclusion and work our way backward. The conclusion is that she won’t get indicted. (If she does get indicted the theory was wrong, which means we’ll just have to live with the disappointment.) So concluding that she won’t get indicted begs the question, why do the investigation at all?

Because, simply, there was a lot of classified and sensitive information involved and the intelligence services are going to want to know what the information was, where it was, who possessed it, and who could have accessed it.  Once they know that, they can evaluate how much damage was done. Again, this isn’t a character defense. No doubt Hillary committed multiple crimes regarding the handling and transmission of classified information, but that’s secondary to the national security concerns she caused.

This theory explains Bryan Pagliano pleading the fifth and getting immunity. No doubt, his lawyer advised him not to incriminate himself, but the FBI would need him to supply the technical information on the server setup. People are speculating they want him to talk so they can get people higher up. But it’s just IT information they want.

So what’s this about Hillary telling the truth? Just that she called it a “security review,” which is what it is. Kind of. It’s not a criminal investigation at all, just an attempt to evaluate how much her reckless behavior damaged national security. She really does belong in jail, but we have to be realistic. A Democrat party-controlled justice department isn’t about to indict the Democrat party frontrunner.
