Shortly after the 2010 election there was a rumor that the bigwigs were already sick of Obama and planned to rotate Hillary into the White House in 2012. The mechanism was supposedly a scandal starting in the Justice Dept, a scandal so big it would take over a year to fully develop. Perhaps it has already started.
The Washington Post, with the predictably-liberal editorial page, is a thoroughly corrupt establishment mouthpiece. Them spotlighting something like this is a guarantee that it will not be shut down, and may well become as big as Watergate. I think the FBI director just had his term extended for two years, so he is untouchable. This could get interesting.
