WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidates tried to shift attention back to Republicans Friday, calling for renewed focus on issues rather than on their dispute over qualifications to become president.
Hillary Clinton said Republicans are living in a world of "fantasy and hope" if they think she'll be indicted over her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.
Legal experts agree charges are unlikely. But Matt Lauer of NBC's "Today" said in Friday's interview that Republicans tell him they hope Clinton will be taken out of the election equation in coming months because of criminal charges.
Clinton laughed at the suggestion, saying it shows how desperate the GOP has become and that their "fondest wishes" won't come true.
Her rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, backed away from an earlier suggestion that Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to be president, saying he has kept his promise of focusing his fire on policy and was simply responding to Clinton's own attacks.
"They're going after us very big time and in a very negative way," Sanders said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press. "And I wanted to make very clear that we will not be a doormat, we will not be attacked without responding. And my point was to focus on the issues where I thought she was lacking."
Typically....blame someone else
Agree. She’ll never be indicted much less convicted.
Evil bitch.
Actually, she is indeed right. Nothing’s going to happen to her out of this. The Clintons aren’t subject to the same laws that govern the rest of us.
If I were the GOP nominee and Hillary were the Rat nominee, I would say on every stump speech that I would indict Hillary on my first day in office.
Excellent. Make her talk about it.
She’s completely right. I’ve seen this movie before, and it always ends the same way.
“Unfortunately, I believe she is right. She could shoot someone on live TV and never be charged.”
Shoot someone? She could plow a school bus over a cliff with a stolen tank, then fire bomb it with a flame thrower, then crack open and eat the brains out of the skulls of the still quivering eight year olds, all on live television and not only not get indicted but be awarded a nobel peace prize for it
The FBI is one of the only remaining agencies with hope of being respected by us.
If they fail this with the Hillabeast, it’s Katey bar the door....we will no longer give a shi...er....Obama about ANYTHING coming from D.C.
And that most certainly includes any silly little decisions coming out of the Supreme Turds.
I no more dream of her arrest than I dream of teleporting myself to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
May the wrath of God come down upon these parasites in our lifetime
I would call it more like the GOP is hoping and praying that the Rule of Law and the Constitution will be upheld in relation to the allegations against Hillary Clinton...and that THAT will lead to her arrest.
To me this smacks of “the lady doth protests too much” What was she gonna say? “I”ll be arrested by June”
I recall Bubba saying Obama’s election was “a fantasy”
Hillary is right; the laws are for little people. Clintons do not have to follow laws.
One thing the Servergate does do is to reinforce the meme that Hillary feels entitled to disregard strictures about classified information which reinforce the suspicion that she illegally read Craig Livingstone’s haul of illegally accessed FBI files on Republicans.Who hired Craig Livingstone? Hillary.
She had motive and opportunity, and she was too important for Bill to throw under the bus. For sure she knows who hired Livingstone, and almost certainly she did so herself. We know she does not respect limits on classified material. Why would we think anything else but that she would aggressively grab those files?
I would call it more like the GOP is hoping and praying that the Rule of Law and the Constitution will be upheld in relation to the allegations against Hillary Clinton...and that THAT will lead to her arrest.

Sorry to pop your bubble, but the GOP left the rule of law and the Constitution behind when they agreed to Usurpation Day.
