From the first, these columns have argued that the whitewash of the Hillary Clinton–emails caper was President Barack Obama’s call — not the FBI’s, and not the Justice Department’s. ... The decision was inevitable. Obama, using a pseudonymous email account, had repeatedly communicated with Secretary Clinton over her private, non-secure email account.
These emails must have involved some classified information, given the nature of consultations between presidents and secretaries of state, the broad outlines of Obama’s own executive order defining classified intelligence (see EO 13526, section 1.4), and the fact that the Obama administration adamantly refused to disclose the Clinton–Obama emails. If classified information was mishandled, it was necessarily mishandled on both ends of these email exchanges.
If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton–Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges. That is why such an indictment of Hillary Clinton was never going to happen

It only takes one member of the jury to refuse a guilty vote. Trump's administration can't risk that scenario. She'll get got soon enough.

I litterally just finished reading about the at the conservative treehouse.
The premise of the article (like yours) was she couldn't be prosecuted because of their communication... the email communication between them was while she was in a "sophisticated adversarial" country and everything could have easily have been captured by the other country.
As for protecting O it seems if it were revealed he also was using a pseudonym anyone who captured the emails could go back and discover it was him...this is just my guess.
Yep, much of this is going to lead directly to the top.

Now it's becoming clearer why Obama is retaining criminal defense attorneys.
