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.
I don't think that is a possibility. At this snail's pace, it's going to be months before charges are referred to the AG. Then there is the review and decision by the AG whether or not to indict, which will also take months.
Unless she has money stashed via Panama, etc., I think the Clintons outsmarted themselves when they laundered it into their foundations. So far it looks like they went for the tax dodge exclusively. Now with the server and Guccifer in FBI hands the money trails can be tracked.’s
I’ll check into Obama foundations. I hadn’t read that. Do you have the names so I can look at the 990s?
I wish, but I know it won't happen.
Even though he was given immunity he refuses to answer questions.
Isn’t it strange how the MSM is sooooooo concerned about Trump’s ‘tone’ but don’t give a damn about a woman who most likely betrayed her country?
Bernie is passing out goodies as if he were Santa Claus. The millennials love him.
Just as their treatment of Trump is solidifying hate at the GOP, so will the Dems’ treatment of Bernie engender hate at them.
Not as per any two-way poll I’ve seen.
Yes, Trump could win a three way poll as per Rassmussen.
Trump isn’t getting enough of the Conservative vote, because his views aren’t conservative. Funny, pundits claim Republicans must run moderates to attract a larger range of voter. Well....we’re running a moderate and where are all the voters?
Polls all show Trump loosing.
“Trump ... his views aren’t conservative...”
How is it not conservative to actually have a plan to stop ammesty?
Having a real plan to end the liberal off-shoring of jobs and manufacturing by globalist liberals is not conservative?
We are not running a moderate, we are running a patriot.
The polls are run by liberals and there is a pro Hillary agenda out there in the liberal media.
Polls might all show Trump “loosing” (sic) now but they will soon show Hillary losing if they are clean polls.
“...ALL of Hillary’s underlings retained the same lawyer”
Actually, I’ve NEVER read on Free Republic or anywhere else that HUMA — the biggest fish after HRC, has that same lawyer...
Most speculate that Elizasbeth Warren would be the VP choice in this scenario.
However, I question whether she would accept a role as Obama's tool. I believe her opinion of herself runs higher than that.
“What remains to be known is if that jeopardy was willful or merely negligent.”
The question is not relevant.

Yes, I can't imagine Hillary is so geek deficient she didn't know this. 1. She just didn't care. 2. She figured State, AG, DOJ and MSM would just cover for her like the last 200 scandals.
Hillary, at a minimum here, even if not indicted, will be judged to have been grossly negligent regarding US National Security.
Certainly a case to be made for that. Primary em' all, let God sortem' out.
This whole relationship with Sid need more investigation. Who was leading whom? They both had their agendas. Sid sounds like the ultimate two-faced crook with multiple agendas. Is he being investigated for charges? How many laws did he violate? What were his 'side deals' in Libya? and elsewhere? Such a complex web.
