BERNIE AND THE G-MEN – AT 10:35 A.M. ET:  Newt Gingrich is always interesting, and he has a fascinating theory as to why Bernie Sanders, the Karl Marx of Vermont, is staying in the presidential race.  From The Politico:   

Bernie Sanders is not yet leaving the Democratic race for president because of the ongoing FBI investigation into the private server Hillary Clinton used for official business as secretary of state, Newt Gingrich suggested Friday.

"First of all, if I were Bernie and I think this is what he’s doing, why should he drop out before the FBI drops out?" Gingrich remarked on "Fox & Friends."

He added, "As long as the FBI is in the game he might as well stay around at least until the convention."

Sanders, for his part, on Thursday indicated a willingness to work with Clinton to defeat Donald Trump in the general election while stopping short of dropping out before Tuesday's primary in the District of Columbia, the final event on the Democratic calendar.

COMMENT:  Maybe.  There is also informed speculation that Sanders will drop out after the D.C. primary on Tuesday.

Newt's take is compelling, however.  The FBI probe is still there, but pushed into the background by a compliant press this week because of the crowning of Queen Hillary. 

The FBI will not melt.  Even the White House, in what might have been a major rhetorical slip-up, referred yesterday to the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton as "criminal," a term it has not used before. 

Wouldn't it be nuts if both parties had to replace their presidential candidates?  Just askin'.  It would certainly sell newspapers.
