HRC:"There is not even the remotest chance that (indictment) is going to happen"

seems troubling to hear someone under FBI investigation make this statement. Of course, she is bluffing, to try not to let her fear and desperation show. But it's nonetheless troubling to imply that she knows the outcome already. Has she been assured of this outcome? By whom?

..."well, you know, I have to say, there is some possibility that I could be indicted."

What else could she possibly say to this question? Of course she's going to say it's not going to happen. It's a meaningless answer.

That was total fluff so I wonder if team Hillary knows something is coming soon.


That said, I doubt she's gonna say I'm about to be locked up.

Knowing when someone speaking calmly is expressing "fear and desperation" is a nifty trick.

of the first viable woman from becoming President. I support her, but I believe she was wrong for having a private email server. Did she commit crimes in doing so? Don't know.

The club, the establishment, the elites or whatever term you want

to use will protect her at all costs.

It has been proven time and time again in this country that

some people are above the law.

First it was a coronation now it is an exoneration.

If Hillary gets the nomination and this FBI business is not resolved before that
happens are we willing to risk losing the democratic party choice in the GE based on just this woman's wished for, best of all possible outcomes prayer ? If the left wants a voice going into the future, even if it means a third party run, the progressive left needs to stay organized and run a candidate in the general.

I will await the verdict of the FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice.

Martha Steward thought she was safe. So did Scooter Libby. We shall see.

Of course, she won't consider any possible backlash. Conservatives never do.

Just forget that notion. This is altogether different. It's serious, and it is substantial.

Hillary is lying through her teeth, it's a Clinton m.o. -- look right in the camera, look right in your eyes, and lie to your face. It's what they do.

There will be "hitting the fan". The question is, to what degree, and when.
