I believe during the Fast and Furious scandal O was asked a question about the investigation and he said, "I CANNOT comment on an ongoing investigation".

Did you not read the very definition you linked to? I would guess 'not'.

Oh, I thought legally one has to preferece any statement like with with "In my humble opinion (IMHO)"!

Recent polls show Hillary losing in head to head match ups with Trump, Carson, and I believe even Cruz.

She is a liar, and everybody knows it. She cannot be trusted, and everybody knows it.

Hillary is toast, and if the Democrats nominate her, they are incredibly stupid.

She is utterly unqualified because of her dishonesty, and her incompetence.
And...you forgot to include...Hillary is an admitted follower of Alinsky's road to communism, as is Obama!

After all when you have the president of the united states on your side how could you possibly be wrong?

He's very selective in what he chooses to comment on, isn't he?

Surely, you must have something better to do than to think about all the email nonsense. Hillary is not electable, regardless of whether crimes were committed with the email set-up.

I have no idea why, with the entire Republican Party and every News Media just waiting for a word they can twist into ropes to hang him with.

Accessory After the Fact:
Definition

Someone who assists another 1) who has committed a felony, 2) after the person has committed the felony, 3) with knowledge that the person committed the felony, and 4) with the intent to help the person avoid arrest or punishment. An accessory after the fact may be held liable for, inter alia, obstruction of justice.

You would be guessing wrong. I did read it, and that is why I posed the question. I believe, based on the definition I linked to, that he very much is an "accessory after the fact."

Only in the O-cult world is O inserting himself where he shouldn't, considered the media or GOP's fault. O-messiah is never wrong, ever.
