A former U.S. attorney thinks Hillary Clinton could face a criminal indictment from the FBI within the next 60 days.
Joe DiGenova, a Republican U.S. attorney appointed by President Reagan, said Clinton's "biggest problem right now" is the open FBI investigation into the contents of her private emails.
"They have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff," DiGenova said Tuesday on the "Laura Ingraham Show" radio program. "And, it's going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days."
FBI Director James Comey has refused to answer questions about when his agents will wrap up a months-long probe into whether Clinton and her staff mishandled classified information on an unsecured network.
Clinton's campaign has maintained that the investigation is not focused on Clinton herself and is not criminal in nature.
"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."
The former U.S. attorney noted Clinton has yet to be interviewed by the FBI, a step he said will likely occur before agents make their findings public.
But DiGenova warned the decision to charge Clinton personally with a crime lies with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, putting the Obama administration in a difficult political position.
"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," DiGenova 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," he added. "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."
Chuck Harder was saying this in the 1990s...it will never happen (she may face indictment, but that’s it!!)

She COULD and she SHOULD, but laws are for little people, not the Clintons, who do as they please, up to and including murder.
Anyone else would already be serving lengthy prison terms.
Sorry...not buying it. Clintons have found a way to escape accountability for over 30 years. I like Joe, but he needs to get out of the Beltway and smell the coffee.
You know, one could think these recent Executive Orders from Zero make it tough for Hillary to run with gun-toting Democrats. Perhaps the Kenyan tipped his hand regarding support for Hillary?
Yes....and the sun could come up in the West tomorrow, too.
I don’t like fixating just on ‘classified’ emails.
The mere act of intercepting government business, of any kind, is a crime. And there is absolutely no question that she did that.
She should have already been indicted.
Bullsh!t. The political class protects it’s own.
This is pure agitprop.
And an asteroid could strike the earth tomorrow and wipe out all life except the cockroaches, right after I win the $300 million Powerball jackpot. And I didn’t even buy a ticket.
Yeah, it could happen.
She’s not getting indicted and if she does, it’s only to dismiss the case in a lightning fast whitewash.
Even at 1 day in jail for each email you’re looking at 3+ years behind bars but, if Bernie Sanders doesn’t care...
He will sic Lynch on Hillary if Obama decides that he wants to continue on as president.
Obama will never allow her to be indicted.
This provides the perfect set of puppet strings for him to use her as the incarnation of his Third Term.
Remember Joe Biden's coy speech that sounds like he's announcing, then says he's not running for the nomination, and with Obama at his side?
She has publicly admitted to the crimes. Nothing will come of this. No one will question Obama or Lynch.
“...right after I win the $300 million Powerball jackpot. And I didn’t even buy a ticket.”
Good, because it’s up to $450M now. Might be worth the $2.
More eye candy, but I won’t hold my breath.
Hillary! makes Nixon look like a ten-year old shoplifter.
