Hillary could be indicted in 60 days...music to many American's ears, BUT is it too good to be true? According to, Joe DiGenova a former federal prosecutor, it quite possible!
A Republican former U.S. attorney believes Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton could be facing imminent indictment over her email scandal, possibly roiling the Iowa caucuses or the New Hampshire primary in February.
Joe DiGenova, a one-time federal prosecutor originally appointed by President Reagan, told conservative radio host
Laura Ingraham Tuesday that the FBI's still-pending investigation of Clinton's email server seems to have reached ‘a critical mass.'
Congressional Republicans last spring discovered that Clinton used a private, home-based email server in her New York home while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. The scandal has dogged her presidential campaign for almost the entire past year.
The FBI has been probing whether any classified intelligence was compromised through Clinton's unusual email setup, but she has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing and has yet to be charged with any crime. DiGenova said that may be about to change.
'They have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff," DiGenova said Tuesday on Ingraham's show. 'And, it's going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days.'
FBI Director James Comey has resisted efforts to lay out a timeline for his agency's probe of the Clinton case, but if it is as imminent as DiGenova believes, it could devastate Clinton's campaign. The Iowa caucuses are on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primary is on Feb. 9.
'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.'
One telling event would be a personal interview between Clinton and the FBI. Although the former secretary of state famously testified at an 11-hour congressional hearing in October, she has not yet been interviewed by federal agents.
A recommendation for prosecution would not only roil the presidential race, but would put President Barack Obama in an unbelievably difficult position. Decisions about prosecution, DiGenova noted, do not lie with the FBI but with the Justice Department - headed by Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
'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,' he 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,' DiGenova continued.
'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.'
Although she is as dishonest as she is incompetent...and despite the FBI director being a straight shooter, it is Obamas Justice department who would have to prosecute...that will be deciding factor, one would think.
Not a chance.
Given the current administration we’re more likely to see the Sun rise in the West than we are to see Clinton indicted.
What is the timeline so bo can pardon her?
Lots of other candidates have run while indited, or even convicted, so that’s not a problem, especially for Hellary.
[ Not a chance. ]
Sadly i have to agree, she should be indicted, but she will not because we are that far gone.
Aliens will land on the White House lawn first.
There’s one living there.
Sounds good...and might as well jail that rapist husband of hers so it’s a 2 for 1.
The Clintons, like the Obamas, get away with EVERYTHING. The Clintons had Vince Foster killed, watched four men die in Benghazi and laughed while it happened, and made the lives of women who Slick Willy raped a living hell. I really doubt she gets indicted, she already paid them off
If it happens, it should happen once she is officially the nominee. It is too early now, and Faucahontas would be installed as the protest surrogate.
I agree, but it will cause such bad press it will derail her crowning. The next administration better have many in jail including Dear Leader himself.
Clinton = Ultimate Protected Class.
Nixon? Not so much.
“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.”
This.
There’s a reason the “classified secret” system is in place, and those whose careers & lives rely on it understand that it MUST not be treated like a mere political inconvenience to be circumvented without extreme cause. She MUST be made an example of, lest agents die.
I’m afraid that before this possibly happens, Joe DiGenova will shoot himself several times in the back of the head.
I really don’t want to lose her as a Democrat nominee
Pigs will fly 30 days before Hillary is indicted.
We know Obama’s DOJ won’t prosecute. What we need is competent, appropriate Congressional oversight.
And as long as I’m dreaming, I’d like a pony.
Here is one scenario:
Obama still carries a grudge from the 2008 campaign. Biden is his first choice to succeed him.
Biden decides not to run.
He does not want to appear as an interloper, dividing the party.
If Hillary is indicted, Joe can ride to the rescue to save the party. He is now the savior.
Obama may be orchestrating this without leaving fingerprints so the Clinton loyalists will support Biden.
It’s too late for that. They are stuck with bernie or the hildebeast.
