A new analysis from former assistant U.S. attorney Andy McCarthy thoroughly explains how former President Barack Obama made sure that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was not indicted in the criminal investigation into her use of a private email server.
In his most recent column, National Review’s McCarthy argues that the decision to not indict Clinton was Obama’s call — not the FBI’s and not the Department of Justice’s — as Obama used a pseudonymous email account to communicate with Clinton on her non-secure email account.
Before getting into detail, key points to keep in mind include:
Three days after Podesta's email, Obama lied on national television during an interview with CBS about the email scandal, saying that he learned about it “the same time everybody else learned it through news reports.”
Obama's lie, unbeknownst to the public at the time, set off a series of panic-based reactions among his and Clinton's aides:
Obama had his email communications with Clinton sealed. He did this by invoking a dubious presidential-records privilege. The White House insisted that the matter had nothing to do with the contents of the emails, of course; rather, it was intended to vindicate the principle of confidentiality in presidential communications with close advisers. With the media content to play along, this had a twofold benefit: Obama was able (1) to sidestep disclosure without acknowledging that the emails contained classified information, and (2) to avoid using the term “executive privilege” — with all its dark Watergate connotations — even though that was precisely what he was invoking.
Note that claims of executive privilege must yield to demands for disclosure of relevant evidence in criminal prosecutions. But of course, that’s not a problem if there will be no prosecution.
A few weeks later on June 27, former President Bill Clinton met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix, Arizona for a private meeting. McCarthy adds:
On July 1, amid intense public criticism of her meeting with Bill Clinton, Attorney General Lynch piously announced that she would accept whatever recommendation the FBI director and career prosecutors made about charging Clinton.
Page texted Strzok that day: “This is a purposeful leak following the airplane snafu,” since Lynch already “knows no charges will be brought.”
The next day on July 2, Clinton sat through an interview an FBI interview with Strzok.

Before getting into detail, key points to keep in mind include:
- The email exchanges between Obama and Clinton most certainly contained classified information due to the nature of the relationship between a president and a secretary of state, and because the Obama administration refused to disclose the emails.
- If classified information was criminally mishandled by Clinton it would have been mishandled on the other end by Obama
- If Clinton was charged, Obama's involvement in the scandal would be glaringly obvious.
- Text messages from anti-Trump and pro-Clinton FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reinforce McCarthy's argument.
Three days after Podesta's email, Obama lied on national television during an interview with CBS about the email scandal, saying that he learned about it “the same time everybody else learned it through news reports.”
Obama's lie, unbeknownst to the public at the time, set off a series of panic-based reactions among his and Clinton's aides:
- Clinton campaign secretary Josh Scherwin emailed former White House Director of Communications Jennifer Palmieri: “Jen you probably have more on this but it looks like POTUS just said he found out HRC was using her personal email when he saw it on the news."
- Scherwin's email was forwarded to Mills.
- Mills emailed Podesta: "We need to clean this up — he has emails from her — they do not say state.gov."
