2. Since we live in a captured state and she is the annointed candidate dont expect anything.

The main function of this investigation is as likely as not to give you false hope so you wont use this precious time to investigate the very many things which ARE there which are all horrible.

For an example, read my zig.

3. The part that gets me is what happens if she gets indicted AFTER being given the nomination?

What's the process to get another nominee? Is there one?

I don't care how long the odds are, if your 'leading' candidate is under FBI investigation it would be prudent to have a Plan B....just in case...

7. So she gets indicted, and the Dems are locked in?

That's absurd. And she sure as shit can get impeached for crimes she committed before becoming Prez...

This has the potential to be the cluster-fuck of all cluster-fucks, and no-one in the Democratic hierarchy seems to give a damn....

8. I don't think the RW morons in Congress are going to put too fine a point on it.

It's their mission in life to impeach Clintons. And the Clintons make it easy.

I expect Articles of Impeachment the day after her inauguration (if she makes it that far, which I don't think she will--far too many negatives--without massive election fraud via the 'TRADE SECRET' coded machines all over this land--that's a possibility). In any case, $12/hr is out. Protecting Social Security is out. Etc. She won't have time for anything but keeping her minions out of jail and herself in the White House. The impeachment won't make sense, believe me ("Benghazi! Benghazi!&quot . But there is so much material, they'll find plenty of irrelevant shit among the treasure trove of vast corruption to keep her very busy, indeed.**

If I was an Oligarch, that would be my plan.


-----------------

**(Not that she means it when she count-offers $12/hr. She doesn't. She will gladly sacrifice that and everything else to keep herself in power.)

It is an inquiry! The federal bureau of inquiry doesn't do 'investigations'...

6. Haven't you heard? It is all just a Republican conspiracy. Don't worry about it.

Everything is under control. The Adults have got this. We are just a bunch of whiny teen-agers.

They desperately want the indictment to come after she is the nominee or after she is elected. I would too, in their shoes. They know that Bernie can beat Trump.

who still sports an OBAMA bumper sticker may be a partial explanation. I asked her in a light tone if she wanted a replacement BERNIE sticker, and she said she's voting for Hillary. I told her I was concerned she may get indicted, and it was news to her. She was shocked - she didn't know!

Compared to the utter CLUSTER**** of a presidency his opponent would usher in by definition.
