The FBI released a large batch documents related to its investigation into Clinton’s private email server Friday afternoon. The files include notes from interviews with several top Clinton aides, including longtime adviser Huma Abedin.
The FBI said in its notes from an Abedin interview that the address on a Clinton email chain “is believed to be a pseudonym used by the President."
Abedin said she didn’t recognize the name and “expressed her amazement” that Obama used a pseudonym.
The FBI said she exclaimed: “How is this not classified?”

The FBI said she exclaimed: “How is this not classified?”
She reportedly asked if she could have a copy of the email.
Abedin also told the FBI that Clinton’s team had to inform the White House that she was changing her email address so that the president could receive messages from her.

I've felt they have not pursued Hillary because to do so could expose much bigger scandals. I think it was decided that the fallout from whatever the scandal could be is not worth the societal unrest that might result.

Let's start with this. The FBI hasn't released anything on this except for its notes taken during Clinton's interview. And those they released on Sep 2.

President Obama only learned of Hillary Clinton's private email address use for official State Department business after a New York Times report, he told CBS News in an interview.
CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante asked Mr. Obama when he learned about her private email system after his Saturday appearance in Selma, Alabama.
"The same time everybody else learned it through news reports," the president told Plante.

Maybe this is why, or partially why, Obama never appointed a permanent IG during Hillary's tenure. He didn't want snoopers and people asking questions.
What was the pseudonym he used?

It seems logical that the president would have an alias email address to use if he knew he'd be sending messages to an unsecure server.
The State Department has refused to make public that and other emails Clinton exchanged with Obama. Lawyers have cited the "presidential communications privilege," a variation of executive privilege, in order to withhold the messages under the Freedom of Information Act.
The report doesn't provide more details on the contents of that particular email exchange, but says it took place on June 28, 2012, and had the subject line: "Re: Congratulations." It may refer to the Supreme Court's ruling that day upholding a key portion of the Obamacare law.

Really? Why does the most powerful man on Earth need to EVER use an alias in an e-mail?
What? Was he up to no good?
