I’m beginning to see Obama’s master plan for the election, I think.
1) Be helpfully unhelpful in the matter of Hillary Clinton’s criminal actions wrt her private email server. He’s already done that by sticking his nose into the fray.
2) October surprise: AG Loretta Lynch indicts Hillary for various and sundry violations of federal law in the matter of the private email server. Hillary is forced to pull out of the race, or at the very least, it cripples her campaign. Note that it doesn’t matter if she’s ever convicted.
3) Republican candidate (whoever it is) elected president.
4) Republicans blamed for the disaster of the last eight years of the Obama administration for the next four years.
5) Profit!
But I’m probably wrong. On the other hand, Hillary had better be counting on absolutely zero help from the sitting President.
