Let's step back a bit and put all this information in perspective: Late spring/early summer of last year is when the pollsters started noticing a distorsion in the poll data. By the time Trump came out of the RNC he was well ahead and still the big media conglomerates were calling for Hillary being ahead. At the same time, Obama, no doubt reacting to the poll data, started getting a lot more involved in Hillary's campaign, to the point that by October he was a de facto Hillary employee and barely tending to his presidential duties.
I would've loved to have been able to hear what these two tweety baids were discussing. IMO, I see Obama desperate enough to have pulled some strings and try something a-legal.
By the by, I love FBI logic: We did not kill him with a knife = we did not kill him. Cannot make this up.
