Monica Crowley: Obama Behind Leaks About Hillary

Stating the obvious, Monica Crowley opines that The Washington Times that Obama is probably behind the slow trickle of leaks about Hillary Clinton's email scandals. She writes:
There is only one person who controls Hillary Clinton’s fate, and it isn’t Hillary Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton is careening toward possible criminal charges involving her alleged mishandling of classified material on her personal email server while she was secretary of State. And President Obama is driving the bus.

Beyond the bad blood, however, Mr. Obama has a more important reason for doing her in. As I have written previously, he needs a successor he can control. Over the years, including recently, he has waxed rhapsodic over a possible third term to continue his “fundamental transformation of the nation.” Mrs. Clinton will not provide it; therefore, she must be sidelined.

If Mr. Obama does not want an investigation to go forward, it does not go forward. Witness the scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service, Benghazi, Veterans Administration and Operation Fast and Furious gunrunning. ...
He wants to continue his legacy, but he also doesn't want a Republican President that may be willing to investigate Obama and his cronies--at least, not until the statute of limitations has run.
