Hillary Clinton Should Concede to Bernie Sanders Before The FBI Reveals Its Findings

[silvershadow]

Millions of Democrats are voting for a presidential candidate linked to an FBI criminal investigation. These voters either don’t know there’s been a year-long FBI investigation of Clinton’s emails, don’t care, or would vote for Clinton even she faced Espionage Act indictments. Potentially our next Commander in Chief will be interviewed by the FBI soon, as will her top aides. This state of affairs would never take place in any other leading democracy, but American politics is unique.

Bernie Sanders has political momentum, grass roots support throughout the nation, and defeats Donald Trump by a wider margin than Clinton. Sanders has surged to within several points nationally of Clinton, despite being over 50 points down not long ago. In contrast, Clinton lost astronomical leads to both Obama and Sanders, and doesn’t keep polling leads. Furthermore, Trump won’t watch his tone about emails, and every other scandal associated with both Clintons. The pedestrian polling lead Hillary Clinton currently holds over Donald Trump isn’t set in stone; Trump is already ahead of Clinton in a recent poll.

Don’t be certain Trump can’t defeat Clinton in a general election, even if the FBI doesn’t recommend indictments. Once he pivots towards being a semi-normal human being, and distances himself from the bigoted stances he utilized to gain power within the GOP, Clinton would face a more “likable” Trump. In a battle of two individuals with negative favorability ratings, the person who might have jeopardized national security with a private server could easily lose.

In the best case scenario, Clinton doesn’t face indictments, but the FBI confirms that she jeopardized national security. Thus, Republicans would make even the best case scenario for Clinton’s campaign a major political liability. America isn’t a closed Democratic primary, and Clinton would be on the defensive during every televised debate against Trump.

1. she already knows what the outcome is likely to be

because she knows what she did.

She may yet lie to the FBI, though.

2. Clinton is a member of The Club

Therefore she can do just about anything without consequences.

3. If it turns out that she broke the law

... and right now it seems very much that way, but isn't punished at all for it, people will be left with a really bad taste in their mouths. Dude goes to prison for 10 years for pot, yet Hillary gets out after felonies that expose national security secrets because she's rich and popular.

That could lead to the further destruction of the party.

4. Bush and Cheney didn't suffer, and Clinton won't either

There will be some chump like Scooter Libby to take the fall.

5. Possibly

However, a big part of Sanders' message is that the rich get away with murder which the rest of us go to prison for stupid shit. Or get killed by cops. The political environment is a bit different than with the bush-whacker twins.

6. She can't lie to the FBI

That is an automatic obstruction charge. If I'm not correct, perhaps an attorney can provide the actual charge for lying to the FBI. But it's close to that.

So if she does lie, she is toast.

7. It was lying to the Grand Jury that got Wild Willy impeached.

With both a Republican House and Senate, she will not only be impeached, but it will be upheld. What a legacy! First Women President and first successfully upheld impeached President. She's such a winner!
