The New York Times is reporting that Attorney General Loretta Lynch will accept any recommendation for prosecution in the Clinton email investigation brought to her by the FBI or career prosecutors. On the surface, this appears to be good news.
If one is conspiracy-minded, it could also signal that she's covertly agreed with (or been assured by) the FBI and career prosecutors that no such recommendation will be forthcoming. Then, knowing it isn't coming, it becomes safe to announce she will follow a recommendation she knows will never be made.
One thing we know about Washington, a cover-up normally causes the actors more trouble than whatever they're covering up would have done. In this case, the day of reckoning only has to be postponed until late January of next year. If Clinton can get elected, she can pardon anybody involved in a cover-up. And there is always the slender possibility it will never ever come to light, given the MSM's well-documented bias to the left.
