Here's a Hollywood story pitch for a political thriller: A major candidate for president is charged with high crimes after sewing up the party nomination at the summer convention. House of Cards meets Game of Thrones.
Maybe the scenario sounds a little far-fetched, but it's not inconceivable.
Democrat Hillary Clinton is under FBI investigation, along with top aides, for using a private, unsecured email server to conduct official business as secretary of state in the Obama administration. The traffic included classified information.
She says that in retrospect, she made a mistake but violated no laws....

They’ve made geat movies from a lot less.
Pardon me?
Sure Hillary- Obama
The libs want her to win so they can ‘legitimately’ slide Joe Biden in when she is perp-walked. If Bernie keeps on winning, it will foil all their plans for a ‘smooth’ transition. This is why they are so down on Bernie right now.
Does anyone think Biden can beat Trump????
Joe “Stand up, Chuck” Biden....
Joe “Just shoot a shotgun through the door” Biden...
..at what?
no but he might limit their downticket losses... with HRC they’re going to get another historic loss guaranteed
What???
Beat Trump at anything or the shotgun quote?
She won’t quit now as it would give the nomination to Sanders. Afterword, maybe. In both, not giving it to Sanders would cause civil war in the party.
Trump would flatten crazy Joe like the “love bug” that he is.
(Those who live in Florida understand love bugs.)
I think there is going to be plenty of downticket losses this election...BOTH parties...
I would “LOL and LMAO” for weeks.
Hate those things...Eat the paint right off your car....
We dismiss Biden like we did Obama, at our own peril. Biden is a clean and articulate white man.
The only way this horrible woman would ever see justice is if Trump becomes president. Individuals who threaten the Clintons’ place at the trough, have a funny way of ending up hurt or worse. Usually, worse. This can’t end well for somebody.
“Does anyone think Biden can beat Trump????”
Not me...I don’t think any Democrat can beat Trump - he plays by a different set of rules and is TOTALLY OUTSIDE of their knowledge base.
...being a creep perv for sure
Personally I expect a final decision on Hillary’s fate will be made by Obama just prior to the Dem Convention. I expect the FBI will not release a report or make any recommendations to indict or not indict until that short period of time.
I expect Obama to make his decision based on a simple political question: Can Hillary win? If he believes she can withstand the publicity from the leaks that are certain to flow from disgruntled FBI sources and still win he will stick with her. In that case there will be no report. There will be no recommendations. There will be no indictmemens.
But if Obama concludes she will lose then I expect him to turn the FBI and the Justice Department loose. The Superdelegates will freely choose to vote for NotHillary and the nomination will go to Bernie or Biden or some other Obama flunky.
You read it here first. Or maybe second or third.
As far as I know, the DNC can substitute. Shriver replaced Eagleton in 1972.
It may require the candidate to actually withdraw.
Now states have filing deadlines....I want to say the earliest ones are early September?
Also, electors could agree to vote for a particular candidate.
I was thinking 1872 - Horace Greeley died. Most electors voted B. Gratz Brown, the VP candidate, for President.
Luckily it was inconsequential.
