Indictment.
That is the term heard increasingly from sources adjacent to the ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal that apparently now places her at considerable risk of facing a very serious federal espionage charge.
The risk was great enough to require President Obama to come out publicly to warn off the investigation when during an interview he attempted downplay Mrs. Clinton’s “confusion” over federal classified information laws.
It was the very same tactic the president used to diminish the earlier IRS scandal and he now appears hopeful he can be just as successful in minimizing the damage to Hillary Clinton and thus, himself.
Rumors are now swirling that the FBI already has enough to implicate Mrs. Clinton in directly jeopardizing national security. What remains to be known is if that jeopardy was willful or merely negligent.
Both are capable of generating a recommendation from the FBI to the Justice Department that formal charges be brought against the former Obama Secretary of State and there has been a more recent flurry of speculation that such charges could be forthcoming within the next month or two.
That risk is said to be a primary motivating factor behind Bernie Sander’s determination to stay in the race all the way to the Democrat convention this summer. And now with the Republican primary race having been conceded to Donald Trump, media focus will shift, at least in part, to the ongoing FBI investigation against Hillary Clinton.
If FBI Director James Comey’s intent was to finalize the investigation after the primary election cycle had somewhat diminished, this would the time to do just that, and such timing now towers over the lame-duck presidency of Barack Obama and the scandal-plagued political aspirations of Hillary Clinton.
Interesting. The Red Eye Radio guys said something I hadn't heard of this a.m. That is that Bernie going forward and saying he will contest may be a hedge on his part should she be indicted. What would happen if they swapped Slow-Joe for her and he has delegates at that point? Can you see the Bernie Moon-Bats voting for Joe? I can't. Your scenario of him going Indy after that might not be that far fetched. Either way it would be a slog for Joe, no Bernie supporters or they do vote on whatever ticket he runs on he still looses them...
Any day now...

The MSM will do anything in their power to marginalize and bury this story.
She says the State Department was responsible for her private server?
I’ve been following everything I can find on the FBI criminal investigation along with Judicial Watch’s progress. The FBI findings will be too massive to ignore.
I have to expect the insiders are looking at alternatives. Sanders has to be looking at the same things. His showing in Indiana and continued fund raising which is exceeding or matching Hillary’s has to worry her big supporters.
Sanders is hanging in for the win when Hillary gets taken out. With anybody but Trump, Hillary might have had a slight chance. With Trump as the defacto nominee, she won’t survive his attack while still trying to put Sanders away.
That’s my read.
They won’t be able to ignore Trump nor his attack using info from the FBI investigation and what’s known publicly about the emails. Trump is Hillary’s worse nightmare come true.
True. But that doesn't they still won't try their best.
I'd just be very surprised to see Hitlery thrown under the bus by the MSM.
I think Bryan Pagliano has backtracked and said he will not testify.
Someone got to him.
I don’t think they will throw her under the bus. I still think the only choice is she’ll have is to drop out for medical reasons. Her family can claim she has a life threatening issue that requires immediate care. That can be used to stall legal action and enable Biden to replace her. Obama can pardon her on the way out. The media can do the sympathy thing. Everybody is all better except for Hillary who had no real choice in the matter.
It’s the only way I can see of avoiding a national crisis. Once Trump became the defacto nominee, the writing was on the wall for Hillary. Anyone high up in the Democrat hierarchy who has the power to say yay or nay to funding candidates should be able to understand that Hillary’s campaign is dead.
Sometime soon Hillary will be ghosted. People high up will turn off the money and calls will not be returned.
I like your scenario.
If the Dems plop Crazy Uncle Joe in over Bernie that will be that. Trump can woo many, many Bernie voters with the rigged system meme.
Or, Bernie may run third party. In which case votes for Biden will only be diluted and Trump wins.
So he could issue a general pardon against all future charges.
Wow
Never mind.
You learn something every day
“...only way Trump wins is if Clinton is the opponent...”
Trump is attracting huge numbers of people to support his movement to Make America Great Again no matter which democrat goes against him. This will transcend the usual Republican vs. Democrat election cycle because Trump’s message is resonating for everyone, including democrats.
The democrats are starting to realize this. Faux ca hontas (or whoever else they come up with) won’t be able to halt Trump’s momentum and solid message either.
“...Here is a twist. Maybe they are delaying recommendations until after the election hoping for a Trump victory. That way Obama cannot pardon her. ...”
Under what timeline -could- 0 pardon shrillary?
I thought lame duck presidents left pardons till Nov-Jan.
Negligence = felony
Wilful, passed on to adversaries = treason
Recall that guccifer said that it was easily hackable...

Fat chance of that. The media loves Hildabeast.
My eyes are pretty weak and I thought the source was D.C. Whoppers.
That way, their depositions to the FBI can be coordinated to put out the “right” story.
Still, to risk additional perjury charges on top of their other crimes strikes me as unacceptable.
Perhaps (fingers crossed) America has had enough high criminality and will actually demand justice.
I so want this witch to go down hard. I don’t care as long as she is gone. Problem is the money train originates with Hillary. She stole $6 Billion from State. Probably a half Trillion via the Clinton Foundation. She has been paying off Obama & Co. for well over a year. He now has two Foundations which are fully funded by Hillary/Foundation.
The old adage is “Follow the Money”. In this case Obama can’t let that happen. Even if he hates the Clintons, he has to answer to many others who are totally bought and paid for by Clinton. Best scenario seems to be the medical dropout. Can’t take a chance that she gets elected.
But as soon as she made the decision to use email account on a server NOT controlled by the state department, she took on the responsibility of the security.

I’ve been saying for many months now that I expect a Biden/Warren ticket from the Dems.
