Will Hillary drop out before her indictment or

wait until the DOJ and FBI nail her to respectfully withdraw her candidacy? I'm fine with either but my preference is that she bail out sooner than later to allow Bernie to start focusing on Trump.

Nah, too much to ask for you to disbelieve Fox News in this.

Hopefully the Bernie people will remember that Republicans and their propaganda outlets are not their friends by June 7.

9. The interference with the election would be terrible, I don't see a DOJ indictment happening

Which isn't to say that the FBI report won't recommend charges be brought. I think that outcome would be more possible -if- they find evidence of criminal wrong-doing. We don't know that they have or will find that.

There's no getting around the fact that her servers were erased, which for a public official is clearly illegal.

12. Whether she is or isn't, the result isn't going to be good.

If she is, I expect she'll stay in the race until the bitter end. If she isn't, the GOP talking point will be that the Obama administration is part of a cover-up scheme to protect her and that's why a Republican should be elected. It's a real shame the field was cleared so Hillary could run.

And even if it goes right up 'til the convention, the nominee will still have months to campaign against Trump.

20. Comey may recommend indictment

because he's still outraged over Marc Rich's Presidential pardon on Bill's last day in office. Comey was a prosecutor in that case. But I doubt the DOJ will indict. Too big to fail.

BTW, did you know that Marc Rich's wife Denise gave Bill & Hill furniture for their home in Chappaqua home? I guess all of their furniture was donated...must be nice!

...

The fact that Marc Rich cheated on her after they fled to Switzerland 17 years ago, that he participated in the biggest tax fraud in U.S. history, that he traded with Iran during the hostage crisis and defiantly renounced his U.S. citizenship rather than face a trial here—all that has been washed away with a mother’s tears. As for her notorious list of gifts to the Clintons—$7,000 worth of furniture for their Chappaqua, New York, house; $450,000 for the Clinton Library; more than $100,000 for Hillary’s Senate campaign; more than $1 million for the Democratic National Committee, not to mention many millions more raised at Democratic fund-raisers in her apartment—Rich dismisses all that airily as a piffling amount. About the furniture for Chappaqua (two coffee tables and two chairs), she says, “Everybody gave furniture. There was a list going around from the decorator.”

29. She's going to wait for the FBI to recommend indictment (at which point she will label Obama's FBI

director to be part of the vast right-wing conspiracy who just does not like Hillary for some unknown reason and who picks on her unfairly when she has never done anything wrong ever).

But then she still won't step aside because the DoJ will not prosecute so Hillary will have this reek of guilt from the FBI's non-partisan recommendation without the chance of a public exoneration or public conviction and, in addition to the reek of guilt, she will also have the stench of privilege for those who will believe she escaped justice due to a political partisanship at Obama's DoJ.

If we want to avoid this insurmountable obstacle to a Democratic presidency in 2016, WE NEED TO NOMINATE SANDERS - THAT IS THE ONLY WAY.

{NOTE: I personally believe Hillary violated the FIOA and should lose the civil suits and pay the appropriately stiff fines for that deliberate violation of federal law created to make government more transparent and accountable to us all, but I do not believe she is guilty of the criminal offenses and should not be indicted, but Sid Blumenthal is guilty as shown by emails Hillary received and he should be indicted and Hillary will likely wind up as a material witness in that criminal trial}.

The idea that being nominated means you are the best choice and can actually win the general election is absurd. Both parties have nominated poor candidates so I would be hesitant to hang my hat on that concept.

32. I don't think indictment will happen but the continuing chatter about FBI investigation

is gonna make things particularly difficult for the next 2 weeks after Wisconsin.

Bernie's likely to win Wisconsin. New York press is gonna be harsh on her. He'll continue to attract massive crowds in New York and MSM can't hide her small number of crowds anymore. And FBI's very likely to contact her in the next 2 weeks, while all of that is happening.

40. Nixon and his VP Agnew thought they were safe too.

And that's how Speaker of the House Gerald Ford ended up being President, after both of them were forced out of office. It wasn't that long ago, either. Watergate, 1974.

As more people who haven't voted yet become aware of her situation, I predict she will collect fewer and fewer delegates, and more supers will switch sides.

If she manages to be nominated, she'll be Republican roadkill immediately.
