She will.
Far too late to strip it from her. The Clintons will full scorched earth if they do.
This was her consolation prize for dropping out in 2008. If the DNC pulls any stunts, she will sink whomever they put up as a replacement.
Wouldn't that be awesome!
Nothing’s ever devastating to the Clintons. Nothing. Bill Clinton was impeached and it didn’t affect his popularity, public stature, or self-esteem one iota. Richard Nixon resigned under threat of impeachment and spent the rest of his life in agony, treated by the public like a leper, a public pariah. Bill Clinton remains a respected, if not beloved, elder statesman.
“Far too late to strip it from her.”
I don’t think so. Prior to the Dem convention, should it become obvious that Hillary is going to be slaughtered in the general election, all obama needs to do is phone her up and notify her that she needs to bow out due to “health” reasons because an indictment is coming out against her criminal activities if she doesn’t, whereas if she does withdraw, then a full Presidential pardon awaits her on the last day of obama’s Presidency. The classic stick and carrot scenario.
Hillary will get a call from an intermediary passing on Obama’s decision. He can easily have the assets of the Clinton’s foundations frozen, allow the DOJ to empanel a grand jury, and subject her to potential indictment. Obama literally has her financial lifeline in his hands.
I suspect some of the Clintonistas such as McAuliffe and Blumenthal may be charged just to send her a message. The Podestas are low hanging fruit too after the revelations in the Panama Papers. Hillary’s world is going to be rocked hard and not in a good way.
It doesn’t matter what she knows. She’s headed for an offer she can’t refuse. She’ll have to withdraw from the race to get the pardon. By the convention it will most likely be “Hillary who?” as the Democrats circle the wagons around Biden.
If Hillary was a chicken she’d be extra crispy.
Of course the Clintons will go nuts, but that's why this will be such dramatic fun! If HRC is indicted, the Dems aren't just going to say, “Oh, well, we musn’t get Hillary angry at us...” There will be a war within the Democrat party. The CLintons may be powerful, but they are not omnipotent. If Hillary is under indictment, do you really think 100% of the members of the Dem establishment are going to continue to back her?
