One of the Clintons’ oldest and most trusted legal advisers has urged Hillary to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent her in case she’s indicted for mishandling classified documents on her private e-mail server and for lying under oath.
The adviser, who has been a Clinton confidant for more than 30 years, laid out his concerns about Hillary’s legal exposure in a wide-ranging interview.
“This e-mail thing is spiraling out of control,” he said. “To paraphrase John Dean of Watergate fame, it’s a cancer on her candidacy.
“Frankly,” he continued, “I am used to my advice on legal matters being taken very seriously and acted upon by the Clintons. I’ve told them repeatedly that this FBI e-mail investigation could go in a very dangerous direction very quickly.
“I think Bill takes the matter seriously. But Hillary is still acting as though it’s a political smear job by right-wing zealots.”

If she has to hide behind the lawyer, this is a way to prepare her supporters for that. Of course, we know she already has an excellent criminal defense lawyer on the case, but so far he has been in the background, and not front and center.
The law is on the books.

To all here who actually believe she will ever end up behind bars I’ve got some swamp land I want to sell you. I haven’t bought it yet so just let me know where you want to park your swamp boat and I’ll buy it then mark it up and sell it to you.
Hillary is not going to jail.
What Rush calls the "uninformed voters" don't care about the facts.
Knee jerk re-action.- she is the leading candidate - they will vote for her regardless.
Clever !
Thought Bubba reduced that term for protection to 10 years.
Note: this topic is from . Thanks Mariner.
I think Trump will pardon Hillary if convicted. I don’t think you can pardon someone preemptively. This will make him popular and hated by her supporters. They couldn’t let the smartest woman in the world go to prison and if timed right could grantee winning re-election. Unlike when Ford pardoned Nixon it would not cost him reelection. And twenty or more years from now it be seen as a wise decision for the same reasons that Ford’s pardon of Nixon.
