This is what the final days of email issue will look like for some.

Will ‘John From Iowa’ Be The Benghazi Witness Who Finally Sinks Hillary Clinton?

WASHINGTON — The House Select Committee on Benghazi is flooding the Pentagon with requests for information and interviews that seem like an effort to unnecessarily prolong the investigation rather than extract useful facts, according to a top official at the Defense Department.

Assistant Secretary of Defense Stephen Hedger expressed the department’s frustrations in a letter to committee chair Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) Thursday, saying his committee’s demands are time-consuming, unrealistic and “encouraging speculation.”


“The Department is working diligently to accommodate your staff’s multiple and changing requests; however, we are concerned by the continuous threats from your staff to subpoena witnesses because we are not able to move quickly enough to accommodate these new requests,” Hedger wrote. “Subpoenaing our service members, when the Department is working diligently to accommodate your requests and when no service member has refused to appear voluntarily, is unfair to our uniformed men and women and an unproductive way forward.”

One example of the committee’s problematic requests is “John from Iowa.”

When no indictment comes out, they will get even more desperate. This is what that looks like.

They literally use words like hope when referencing indictment and then tell others they are dreaming.

Can anybody believe that the investigation would still be going on if the FBI has found nothing? Plus, there are two tracks to the investigation, either of which could end Clinton's campaign: 1. the emails; 2. the foundation and Huma Abedin's work and pay (simultaneously) for the State Dept., Mrs. Clinton personally, the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton lobbying/PR firm. Is it even possible that Abedin's work in all four positions did not involve a conflict of interest and conspiracy? If either Clinton or Abedin tried to hide one incriminating e-mail, both would be liable to prosecution. Obama's entire Presidencial legacy will be shattered if he or Justice tries to cover up, to say nothing of the impeachment that will begin immediately if there's no indictment or if Obama tries to pardon Clinton, Abedin or anybody else
