Thanks to Friday's FBI document dump - 189 more pages of reports from the Bureau's year-long foray into the Clinton e-mail scandal - we now know for certain what I predicted some eight months ago here at NRO: Any possibility of prosecuting Hillary Clinton was tanked by President Obama's conflict of interest.
In terms of the federal laws that criminalize mishandling of classified information, Obama not only engaged in the same type of misconduct Clinton did; he engaged in it with Clinton.
Obama not only engaged in the same type of misconduct Clinton did; he engaged in it with Clinton.
The White House would have attempted to maintain the secrecy of the Obama-Clinton e-mails, but Clinton's defense lawyers would have demanded the disclosure of the e-mails in order to show that Obama had engaged in the same misconduct, yet only she, not he, was being prosecuted.
As noted above, the FBI told Huma Abedin that the name she did not recognize in the e-mail with Clinton was an Obama alias.
As is the case with Clinton's e-mails, much of the information in Petraeus's journals was "born classified" under the terms of President Obama's own executive order - EO 13526.
Abedin knew, as the FBI agents who were interviewing her surely knew, that at least some of Obama's pseudonymous exchanges with Clinton had to have crossed into these categories.
