With the Associated Press calling the Democratic presidential race for Clinton, and the polls for the last primaries in her favor, you might think that there's nothing that could derail her campaign. But there is. It may be a long shot, but it's definitely something Sanders supporters have been praying for as a last-minute Hail Mary: an indictment from the FBI over the private email server Clinton used while secretary of state. The FBI is currently investigating the matter, and if they find evidence that she broke the Espionage Act, they could prosecute. So what happens if Hillary Clinton is indicted?
At this point, only a few diehard Sanders supporters — and some on the right — see this as a possibility. H. A. Goodman, a Huffington Post columnist and Sanders supporter, laid out his case for Clinton's indictment Monday, arguing that she inadvertently broke the law by transferring 22 top-secret emails to her private server, even though they were not marked classified when they were first sent back in 2008. He argues that "'gross negligence' is enough to prosecute," especially in light of the State Department's report that Clinton did not have approval for the private server and was in conflict with new rules put in place in 2009, when she took office.
That would thrill some Sanders-or-bust supporters. The New York Times ran a piece on them, noting that some would even vote for Trump over Clinton. Others promised to vote for a third-party candidate. What they had in common was a hope that an FBI indictment would hand Sanders the nomination. But it's not that simple. Even if Clinton is indicted, that doesn't mean Sanders would become the Democratic nominee....

Recall the news showing the lines of same day voters when barry was first and then re-elected.
Damage should be upon the media.
Obama does not care who ends up in the WH, as long as it's not the Clintons.
He wants to be a) the titular head of what's left of the donkey party, b) the leader of world opposition to the Great Satan, and Trump may even be a better foil for this scenario.
Barack Obama is in complete control of Hillary's destiny, if she ends up in WH, she's in control of his. Just can't happen.
What happens if a large meteor slams into DC during the convention?
How many voters know what a socialist is?
What Happens If Hillary Clinton Is Indicted?
And what happens IF monkeys fly out of my butt?
What happens IF IF IF.
Enough of this crap. We all know nothing will happen to the witch. Someone please throw a bucket of water on her already!
“...the schools...”
Same at my daughter’s high school here in New York State. My daughter is a senior about to graduate and all of her peers and the teachers too (!) love Bernie. I saw NO Hillary signs or bumper stickers around yet there were plenty of pro-Bernie (upstate New York, Capital District) signs, etc..
Just where are the Hillary supporters? It was all Bernie in this area.
Wierd.
I’m wondering how hillary is getting so many votes.
No crowds.
I never see hillary signs or bumper stickers. Bernie stuff is all over the place though.
I’m wondering if it’s rigged. Lots of weirdness at the polls yesterday.
“...No crowds...”
The fix is in. Let’s hope she fails in her efforts to get the demonrat voter fraud machines up and running efficiently.
P.S. excellent tag line!
It will be on them too. What is coming out no amount of spin can save them or the Beast.
When Hillary is indicted, the Party has a vacancy naming committee - they will choose Biden.
“I don’t believe the majority of American voters are ready for hard core socialism.”
Bernie is dominating the democratic party in the under 50 crowd. Only a few years away.
“How many voters know bernie is a socialist?”
How many care? All they know is Bernie is giving stuff away and making he rich pay for it.
How many voters know bernie is a socialist?
How many voters know what a socialist is?
How many voters just want more and more gimmes from the government?
We are circling the drain.
It could be a dilemma. If Clinton is indicted before the convention then denying the nomination to Sanders would rip the party apart, same way denying the nomination to Trump would split the Republican party. If it happens after the convention then it could be a different story.
I'll agree and promote your thought, negativism only feeds the [she'll never be indicted posters].
As I recall, it was the media who were fed and became the origin of the nuance "...it's only sex" concerning Clinton the Ice Salesman.
