What if Clinton were indicted, post-DNC?
The Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | May 29, 2016 | Thomas Fitzgerald

Posted on 05/29/2016 1:45:19 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

No problem. I’ve had it happen to me before.

If she were indicted after the Convention and had to withdraw, I think the rules are that the Democrat National Committee picks the replacement, same as the RNC would in a similar situation.

They’ll all be indicted at the great white throne judgment. And their eternal destiny will not be a fun one.

It is out of Obama’s hands. He cannot interfere with an ongoing investigation or it is Obstruction of Justice. He can't do anything with the FBI as he has a 10 year term to be completely independent. It will be up the AG and she will be under a lot of pressure if the evidence is there. If she does not indict then the FBI will leak everything to the press and it will be all out there to see. The proverbial rock and a hard place for them all.

Obama will indict her after the convention and when there is no time left to put another candidate forward. He will then claim that the election is illegitimate because the Democrats had no candidate. He will remain in office.

They will run her and blame the vast right wing conspiracy

Even if convicted she wouldn’t necessarily do jail time

I agree but Obama will give Lynch her marching orders. So in the end Hillary’s fate is in Obama’s hands.

And I expect that the FBI will recommend a Hillary indictment. Whether we will hear that officially or just read about it in the National Enquirer is still in doubt.

Sadly, yes. Trump runs strongest against Hillary, even he knows it. That’s why he backed off that brief flirtation with debating Bernie Sanders. Joe is pretty stupid, but he is glib, so I expect that the Dems would think he’s pretty smart.

If Hillary is indicted, the DNC will replace her with NY Senator Kristin Gillibrand and Gillibrand will win. This is “Plan A” if you ask me, because Hillary cannot win, whether she is indicted or not.

The DNC is not in this thing to lose. Republicans are content to lose with class. The Democrats... not so much.

Thus my tag-line.

“She says that in retrospect, she made a mistake but violated no laws....”

She just broke some “rules”. Same as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg did.
