(50,130 posts)The FBI reportedly has expanded its investigation to include possible corruption in the Clinton Foundation and the intersect of that with State Department. It is expected that THAT part of the investigation will go on past the Fall, because it is very complex.
Then there's the part about the mishandling of classified documents and all that entails -- the private server, the alleged hacking, the attempts to avoid oversight.
Then there is the civil suit brought by Judicial Watch regarding the efforts to subvert FOIA.
I have seen some speculation that a plea agreement might include forfeiture of donations that were made to the Foundation from foreign entities doing business with the State Department and a demand for closing down of the Foundation.
Her real right-now jeopardy is the second issue. The FBI will present its evidence to the AG for her decision to prosecute or not -- and we know that skilled prosecutors from the Department of Justice have been working WITH the FBI. If the AG decides to prosecute, the evidence of the case will be told to Hillary's lawyer and he will be asked what she will offer in order to prevent prison. That's what the legal beagles are saying. If the AG decides not to prosecute, leaks are going to happen from an angered FBI and all hell is going to break loose a la Watergate.
