Did anyone really expect Hillary Clinton to face an indictment from the FBI?
Even if the FBI had recommended that charges be filed against her, I still have my doubts that Loretta Lynch would’ve acted accordingly, despite her saying otherwise.

The Democrat establishment had really been behind Hillary since day one. It didn’t take long for the Party’s super-delegates to all rally their support behind Hillary, and once she had the President’s endorsement, it became obvious that she wouldn’t be campaigning from a jail cell.
The only person I can imagine was surprised by the news was Bernie Sanders, who had remained in the race in hopes that the FBI would have to drop out before he did. They’re out, and so is he.

Among those in the conservative establishment that couldn’t have been any less surprised was Rush Limbaugh. As Western Journalism reported:
“When Hillary Clinton skates, they want you depressed, they want you down in the dumps, they want you giving up, they want you thinking there’s no way you can win. They want you thinking they can get away with everything. That’s the Clinton MO, and we are right smack-dab in the middle of another such play. Don’t doubt me,” he posted.
He followed that up by reminding his audience that the decison not to indict Clinton had been foreshadowed.

“Hillary Clinton I hope none of you are depressed. I’m sure a lot of you are. I told you that we were being played through this whole Hillary Clinton email scandal,” he posted on Facebook.
Limbaugh then referenced that fact the President Barack Obama is campaigning with Clinton, who is being transported to her political events aboard Air Force One.

The FBI decision came in Hillary’s favor despite them describing her behavior as “extremely careless” – and essentially describing what she did as something they convicted a man over less than a year ago.
What annoys me most is that this comes just days after Democrats launched a “trust Hillary campaign.” The irony alone would’ve killed her campaign had the FBI decided differently.
