Bernstein: The implications of all of this [the email server issue] are that Hillary Clinton did not want her emails subjected to the Freedom of Information Act or subpoenas from Congress. And that’s why she set up a home-brew server.

I think we all know that. People around her will tell you that in private if you really get them behind a closed door.

I was in Washington this week, I spoke to a number of top Democratic officials and they’re terrified, including people at the White House, that her campaign is in free fall because of this distrust factor. Indeed, Trump has a similar problem, but she’s the one whose numbers are going south.

And the great hope in the White House, as well as the Democratic leadership and people who support her, is that she can just get to this convention, get the nomination — which they’re no longer 100% sure of — and get President Obama out there to help her, he’s got a lot of credibility, it’s an election that’s partly about his legacy.

But she needs all the help she can get because right now her campaign is in huge trouble…

My bold.

1. "Clinton tar baby."

The FBI has enough autonomy that if they find real dirt on the Clintons, they will leak like crazy if the DoJ does not pursue the case in a serious way. That would make the Administration complicit, and Obama does not want his final months in office tainted by his Administration touching the Clinton tar baby any more than it has to.

4. Obama will destroy his legacy if he hitches his wagon to her and her corruption.

She MUST BE indicted by July 25 because it sounds like they plan to let her run even with that hanging over her head and the election! It's Unfreakingbelievable how corrupt our entire government is...so corrupt they're willing to let a CRIMINAL, under possible FBI indictment, be president!

They're obviously afraid of Bernie and know their gravy train ends when he's president. They prefer a criminal over a kind, generous, caring, empathetic, honest, trustworthy, good and AUTHENTIC man. SHAME ON THEM ALL.

Come on California! Show the crooks what you really think of them!

GO BERNIE!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
