The Justice Department would stall any prosecution of Hillary Clinton until after the presidential election should the FBI recommend she be indicted for using a private email server as secretary of state, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay tells Newsmax TV.
"If the FBI recommends an indictment, the attorney general will appoint a special prosecutor. That gets this case all the way through the election," DeLay, a Texas Republican, said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."
"That's what I think is going to happen [It would be for] stalling purposes. That's how you get it past the election."
The Los Angeles Times reported that the FBI is planning on interviewing Clinton and several of her aides as it continues its probe into her home server operation and whether using it for government business violated federal laws.
"What it says to me is they are getting very close to the end of their investigation. Usually what goes on is they do their investigation, they're ready to proceed, and then they go after the target and bring the target in and talk to them," DeLay said.

Paul Ryan? Surely you jest.
Even if the DoJ stalls, the mere fact that the FBI recommends indictment will be used to pound Hillary into the ground like a tent peg. Would anyone actually want to vote for someone for president knowing that the FBI has recommended a criminal indictment? Even if the FBI doesn’t recommend indictment, but says that secret info was mishandled, that would become a major issue as well, because it strikes at the very heart of Hillary’s claim that she is competent in foreign affairs, and is ready to be CiC.
“Paul Ryan? Surely you jest.”
Yes, he is a jester for the GOPe.
Would anyone actually want to vote for someone for president knowing that the FBI has recommended a criminal indictment?
Yes a crap load of women and more minorities AKA gimedats
Hillary’s general election campaign will consist of promising plenty of Free Government Sh*t to all and making sure the millions of Muslims who have been imported in the last seven years are pissed off enough to get to the polls and vote as a block.
None of her voters will give a crap about her pending indictment.
DeLay and the GOPe want Hillary to win perhaps.
Third World shenanigans in what was once a great Republic, but which has become a Banana Republic.
Treason is of no concern to the Demonicrats.
Yes of course. Democrats, who control DC, don’t want to see their main Presidential contender under indictment. They simply want this to go away, and they know if Hillary goes down, they go down.
Obama and Lynch will simply drag their feet, run out the clock and make everyone sick of the story. The MSM will comply by claiming its part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.
They can DELAY all they want FBI director leaks indictment recommended to DOJ Hillary is DONE!!!!
You are absolutely right. Only the most die hard apologists will support her, but she will be damaged beyond repair.
I don’t agree with DeLay’s analysis.
Mrs. Bill Clinton would like this to go away ASAP and I predict Obama will accommodate her and the Democrats by turning the indictment into a misdemeanor and she’ll plead guilty and it’ll be done.
DeLay wants Hillary to win? You’re nuts.
Democrats will vote for her by the tens of millions.
“DeLay and the GOPe want Hillary to win perhaps.”
You are insane. Please report to the sanatorium ASAP.
Can’t Impeach anyone who is not in public office, Funny thing is that she will need a presidential pardon whether elected or not.
I think she’s screwed, even the Democrats wouldn’t run someone being under investigation by a special counsel.
A recommendation of indictment by the FBI would be enough to torpedo Hillary.
Paul Ryan is Obozo’s new butt boy.
