Gohmert: FBI Won't Recommend Hillary Clinton Indictment

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert told the Washington Examiner that he believes the FBI will not recommend an indictment for Hillary Clinton in the email probe case.

The Republican lawmaker said he believed the FBI would announce that they were "just laying out the evidence," and leave it to the Justice Department to issue any indictment.

"Director Comey is a pretty straight-up guy, and I don't think he'll pull any punches," Gohmert said, referring to FBI Director James Comey. "But I could also see him avoiding all the controversy by just saying, here's all the evidence, it's not our job to indict."

Gohmert, a Texas state judge who spent ten years in the Army's Judge Advocate General Corps, said he believed evidence shows Clinton should be indicted.

However, he explained that he didn't believe she would be, unless she spoke negatively about the president.

"If she were to turn around and start criticizing Obama herself, I could see her being indicted very quickly," Gohmert told the Examiner.

The FBI has been investigating Clinton for alleged mishandling of confidential emails during her time as secretary of state.

Gohmert mentioned that if Clinton doesn't win the presidency, he hopes the next president takes up her case.

"We've got to have a Republican president come in and say, this is a cesspool here in the executive branch, and we are going to clean it out," the Texas legislator said.

Gohmert has expressed before his belief that Clinton should be indicted: in January, Right Wing Watch reported that Gohmet told Breitbart News the Obama administration has evidence against Clinton, and "if they want to use it, they can."

Gohmert supported Ted Cruz for president, but said on Fox Business that he would support Donald Trump if Trump apologized for his treatment of Cruz and Carly Fiorina.

So much for the old saying you can indict a ham sandwich, these guys won't indict the whole hog. With proper appologies to pigs, and fellow pals of pork the world over.

[Bigun]

Gohmert is exactly right! Unfortunately we now live in a  banana republic and the law is only for the little people!

This isn't anything new.

The FBI not only won't indict Clinton, it CANNOT indict Clinton.
It is the job of the Justice Department to indict Clinton. Always has been.

All that this Newsmax article does is state Gohmert's opinion that he doesn't think that the Justice Department will indict Clinton unless she crosses Obama.

Mr. Gohmert is entitled to his opinion, but it has been revealed, from several sources, that the FBI will go nuclear if the DOJ doesn't follow through with an indictment.

I hope so. The FBI was started to investiged crooked politicians. I can't think of anyone more deserving of that than Hillary.

Clinton won't be indicted unless there is a popular revulsion/outcry of the sort that helped bring Nixon down, and so far that hasn't materialized.

The American public is much more passive, distracted, and unable to think than they were in the early 1970s. That makes the media even more powerful than in the early 1970s. The media decides what the American public will be upset about. Hillary Clinton's corrupt behavior is not one of the things Americans will care about.

No, they won't.  And those who have a pr*ck of conscience will be soothed by the democrats that it's all old news, it's already been dealt with and there were no charges, and anything bad was done by somebody else.

I don't know.

An aging socialist is giving Clinton a run for her money. Many of Sanders' supporters simply won't vote for her.
Donald Trump, a populist, is beating her in the polls.
Even her supporters (like my sister) have only tepid support for her. Even her supporters thinks she's a crook.

I still think that she is going to prison, but there is almost a 50-50 chance that the corrupt Obama DOJ will not indict.

If she isn't indicted, I think it will be almost as bad for Clinton.
The FBI will leak information.
Some of her support will erode.
It may not be the popular outcry that we are hoping for. No tar and feathers.
But she is going to lose popular support and fade away.

Well she's not a Republican so therefor it's ok that she broke the law. Get it? :)

It's worth remembering that the statute of limitations on this crime won't expire with the November election.  If Hillary isn't indicted by the Obama DOJ but doesn't win the election, the next president's DOJ can certainly bring an indictment.

Not if there's a pre-emptive presidential pardon on Jan. 19th.

The fact is that Clinton will never be indicted for this.  One or two aides maybe, but not her.

True, but do you think Obama likes Hilary enough for that?

[Oceander]

I think he can be persuaded because of the collateral damage to the DNC generally if she's indicted, the ability to take an issue away from the GOP, and because his legacy will be damaged by association since she was his Secretary of State.

I'm pretty sure there will be a presidential pardon under the Christmas tree for her this year.

Absolutely.  The damage she could do to Obama's legacy (at least how he envisions it) with what she knows is almost unimaginable.

Would be the biggest pardon since Ford and Nixon IMO.

The culture is much more jaded now than then, and the media would do what it could to protect Clinton and minimize any potential outrage.  They're very good at protecting the left and demonizing the right.

Half the country would loudly applaud his doing that!

I don't know if they would applaud, but they would breathe a quiet sigh of relief.
