4. Maybe true, maybe not. The FBI isn't political. They’re doing the investigation

By early May they'll finish their investigation and either recommend charges or not.

Loretta Lynch will then make the decision on whether to go forward or not if there's a case. Here's where it may stop if she declines to go ahead.

However, if the investigation recommends charges that will hang around HRC'S neck for the rest of the campaign and surely damage her even if Lynch doesn't go ahead.

I truly hope there's no charges and this all goes away. I will be pissed if Obama's scandal free legacy is ruined by a Clinton scandal. It would also do tremendous damage to down-ticket candidates. My fervent hope is there's nothing here

That said, it really doesn't look good at the moment
