I agree that she is simply playing for time and using the old tactics, though to no avail. And despite all of their efforts in SexGate Slick Willie was still impeached! Criminals never learn, they just try to commit new crimes in new ways, never expecting to get caught, witch she has. (pun intended)
Think about it...If she is to seek a pardon by a fellow Democrat she has to be tried and convicted to get said pardon from the Resident or hope like hell that Sanders wins, which is highly doubtful.
May her chains rest heavily upon her ample cankles.
This all has nothing to do with her obvious guilt. It’s all about her reaction to being accused with a crime as a result.
