If the FBI recomends charges and the DOJ does not prosecute

[RDANGELO]

There are some rumblings out there that this is what is going to happen. If this is what happens, it would immediately do damage to Hillary. If she goes on to win the presidency, it would do damage to president Obama's legacy, but most importantly it will do great damage to the Democratic Party, at a time when the national demographics strongly favor them in a general election. This would eventually hurt the party as much as Watergate hurt the Republicans. If Hillary did manage to win the election, it is not likely she would win with a big enough wave to take the house, even against Trump. That means that the house would have investigations and everything would come out. It would eventually get to The Clinton Foundation where even if there is no illegalities, the conflict of interests stink to high heavens.

1. Even without the indictments

There is enough information released in those emails to feed the congressional investigations and impeachment trolls. Good luck ever getting anything done.

[jwirr]

5. Yep, another 4 years of getting absolutely nothing done.

[roguevalley]

33. this will taint bo. this is his justice dept.

He better read when nixon pulled this kind of thing

[Newkularblue]

6. This ^

[2pooped2pop]

21. first husband and wife to be impeached.

forget first female president. First couple to be impeached says a lot more.

[840high]

28. It does - not pretty.

[libdem4life]

41. Oh my, what a legacy. Hadn't thought about that. n/t

[Jackie Wilson Said]

3. There is an actual, real right wing conspiracy that has been acting for decades to destroy

Hillary Clinton.

The tentacles of such can be seen here on this board.

[geek tragedy]

4. they think they're so clever nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

8. My favorite part is when I tell them I am a Bernie voter, yet somehow I am still a republican

according to them, since I also defend Hillary.

[tex-wyo-dem]

14. Obviously some Hillary supporters need...

An intervention. Ignoring and posh-poohing won't make it go away. As a party, we're going to have to deal with it at some point.

[2pooped2pop]

22. yep

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. I made that point months ago...

The right wing is ginning it up so it when the DOJ refuses to prosecute it will look like they bowed to political pressure and not because there wasn't a colorable claim.

[geek tragedy]

24. it's not Democrats or our allies pushing this nonsense nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. You even have Federalist Society members saying there isn't a colorable claim.

Steve Vladeck ?@steve_vladeck Mar 28
Having the temerity to suggest that it's not crystal clear that Hillary Clinton violated the Espionage Act sure brings out the trolls...

it's not Democrats or our allies pushing this nonsense nt

My mind is drawn to "useful idiots."

[geek tragedy]

26. the initials that come to mind are "MI" nt

[grasswire]

34. you can't see through that spin?

You need to parse, parse, parse.

[DanTex]

7. "Rumblings". LOL. I suggest turning off the FOX News.

[geek tragedy]

9. amazing how the same people who are CONCERNED about the email issue

are so quick to accuse Obama of official corruption and compare his hypothetical actions to Watergate.

I sure have never heard a real-life Democrat talk that way.

[revbones]

11. That must just be in your house or something.

Everyone else here is talking about truth and facts.

[DanTex]

12. Since you are a big fan of Washington Times, I get why you believe that.

[revbones]

16. Not really, but at least it's not owned by a Hillary super-PAC...

[DanTex]

17. You prefer right-wingers to Hillary supporters. Tell me something I didn't know. LOL.

[hrmbaja]

19. There's just one problem Mr. Dan,

I /don't/ support liars, Republican tactics or gutter politics.

[DanTex]

20. And you are.....?

[libdem4life]

42. Probably someone similar to me...an FDR Democrat. n/t

[workinclasszero]

29. Right

I hate it that democratic underground reads just like Hate radio anymore.

[JoePhilly]

10. If Hitler had a time machine, and Aliens came to earth ...

...would Trump get to be President?

[speaktruthtopower]

13. The WaPo article was a shot across the bow..

signaling the mainstream press will be watching carefully.

[tex-wyo-dem]

15. Actually I think one of the more likely scenarios...

Will be that the FBI will recommend indictment and the DoJ will assign a special prosecutor to effectively kick the can down the road. The recommendation will effectively end Clinton's campaign.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. "A dream is a wish the heart makes."

[tex-wyo-dem]

30. Being cheeky won't make it go away...

I know it's hard.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. Wishing she will be indicted won't make it happen.

"I know it's hard."

[libdem4life]

43. Thinking and wishing are different. I think it's going to snow tomorrow, doesn't mean I wish it

to snow. Distinctions are sometimes difficult to make.

I, too, think something will come of this...but I certainly don't wish to put the party through yet another Hillary/Clinton Scenario. It won't turn out well, no matter who, what when or where. Calling it a Right Wing Conspiracy doesn't do anyone any good. They hate the Clintons...it's just that simple fact.

It's not a thought or a wish.

[ucrdem]

18. If they do I would not like to be in their shoes on November 9.

But they'll never learn.

[Press Virginia]

32. I wonder if she will even meet with the FBI for an interview

without knowing what they do and don't know about her emails and the server set up would she decline to be questioned?
What would her reasoning be after she's made a big deal about cooperating and saying she's happy pagliano is talking to the Feds?

[jwirr]

35. Her lawyers can ask to see what they have. So I doubt she

will go in blind.

[Press Virginia]

36. No they can't. That's the problem she faces

she could open herself up to a perjury charge

[jwirr]

37. Okay, I thought that the defendant always had access to the

evidence against them. Of course this will not be a trial it is an interview.

[Press Virginia]

38. As a defendant she would.

[Tarc]

39. Well then, I guess Bernie will just have to carry 56-ish percent of all the rest of the states

[blueintelligentsia]

40. The FBI director will resign in protest on top of it...n/t

[PonyUp]

44. Also insiders are saying all the evidence will be leaked to the press. nt
