Hillary could be indicted in 60 days...music to many American's ears, BUT is it too good to be true? According to, Joe DiGenova a former federal prosecutor, it quite possible!
A Republican former U.S. attorney believes Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton could be facing imminent indictment over her email scandal, possibly roiling the Iowa caucuses or the New Hampshire primary in February.
Joe DiGenova, a one-time federal prosecutor originally appointed by President Reagan, told conservative radio host
Laura Ingraham Tuesday that the FBI's still-pending investigation of Clinton's email server seems to have reached ‘a critical mass.'
Congressional Republicans last spring discovered that Clinton used a private, home-based email server in her New York home while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. The scandal has dogged her presidential campaign for almost the entire past year.
The FBI has been probing whether any classified intelligence was compromised through Clinton's unusual email setup, but she has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing and has yet to be charged with any crime. DiGenova said that may be about to change.
'They have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff," DiGenova said Tuesday on Ingraham's show. 'And, it's going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days.'
FBI Director James Comey has resisted efforts to lay out a timeline for his agency's probe of the Clinton case, but if it is as imminent as DiGenova believes, it could devastate Clinton's campaign. The Iowa caucuses are on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primary is on Feb. 9.
'It's going to be a very complex matter for the Department of Justice, but they're not going to be able to walk away from it,' DiGenova said.
'They are now at over 1,200 classified emails. And, that's just for the ones we know about from the State Department. That does not include the ones that the FBI is, in fact, recovering from her hard drives.'
One telling event would be a personal interview between Clinton and the FBI. Although the former secretary of state famously testified at an 11-hour congressional hearing in October, she has not yet been interviewed by federal agents.
A recommendation for prosecution would not only roil the presidential race, but would put President Barack Obama in an unbelievably difficult position. Decisions about prosecution, DiGenova noted, do not lie with the FBI but with the Justice Department - headed by Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
'I believe that the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that, unless [Lynch] agrees to the charges, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive as an attorney general. It will be like Watergate. It will be unbelievable,' he said.
'The evidence against the Clinton staff and the secretary is so overwhelming at this point that if, in fact, she chooses not to charge Hillary, they will never be able to charge another federal employee with the negligent handling of classified information,' DiGenova continued.
'The intelligence community will not stand for that. They will fight for indictment and they are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if she refuses to bring charges.'
Although she is as dishonest as she is incompetent...and despite the FBI director being a straight shooter, it is Obamas Justice department who would have to prosecute...that will be deciding factor, one would think.
Aliens on the white house lawn? The craft lands. Obama looks out the window of the oval office. tears in his eyes. He recognizes the markings on the craft. Alpha Centauri B. A familiar figure disembarks. The secret service escorts him. Obama runs to the entrance. He embraces the withered being. “Papa!”, he exclaims.
Hillary is too big to jail.
I will dress in drag if this happens.
When pigs fly. Rats will circle the wagons.
Remember past administrations in which investigative and/or security groups were or felt dissed. The amount of innuendo and whatnot that can be released to friendly news sources (yes, even Conservatives have some) can undo any administration. With 12+ months to go for Bozo, impeachment may not yet be out of the question.
“I’m afraid that before this possibly happens, Joe DiGenova will shoot himself several times in the back of the head.”
With a shotgun. And with one hand tied behind his back.
We're already seeing leaks from Dimocrat insiders who are worried about a Hill v Trump matchup.
And if it's not Trump, she's still not exactly setting the campaign trail ablaze with enthusiasm.
60 “business” days....
I also want a pony.
I'm certain that on the day Hillary is indicted-The flying pigs will bring us our ponies.
I won’t hold my breath.
It’s safe to predict that there will be no indictment, evidence be damned. If all that evidence has already been collected, why another 60 days’ delay?
Biden. Watch it happen.
In today’s parlance a revolt is the sending of Tweets airing one’s disapproval of things going on that they have no interest in confronting. The dogs bark but the circus moves on.
Hold off until September.
Run Chelsea! Run!
Age too young can be overlooked.
there is a reason lynch is ag.I don’t see this going anywhere.The clintoons have too much dirt on everyone and will execute a scorched earth policy.
Do you see that happening?
The Rise and Fall of Hagzilla. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Won’t ever happen, but if she were by some snow-ball’s-chance-in-hell indicted, it would only make her more of a darling in the eyes of her demente drones. A resume enhancer for a DemonicRat.
