In reply to the discussion: WikiLeaks Is About to Ruin Hillary Clinton’s Chances of Becoming President [View all]2banon
(7,321 posts)62. Interesting, but..
"enough evidence to indict Hillary Clinton" yet to come.
I don't mean to be cynical, I guess I've seen too much in my time wrt corruption and corrupted officials in high office who were able to completely skirt any serious consequences, nothing at all since Watergate really. Bill Clinton was in deep muddy for a bit and it hurt him to a degree. but golly gee here he is again all the richer for it, apparently.
It seems the only people the Feds seem to be willing to go after are those in lower offices, whether it's Congress Critters, which happens frequently enough, but never in a timely manner. Hastert comes to mind.
Serious stuff in the pike regarding San Francisco's Mayor connected to Chinatown underworld, Feds took down a Dem candidate running for State Senate in connection to this "ongoing" investigation involving other unnamed officials.
But I have no expectation Hillary will be indicted or face any kind of charges as result of wikileaks content. Keep in mind, the Feds don't want Trump in office either.
I would be really, really, really shocked if she faced anything of serious consequences as a result from what ever Wikileaks is "about to release".
It seems I came across a headline a day or two ago, "The Feds have no expectation to bring charges to HRC" . something like that?
Again, I would actually be shocked if they do.
But hey, I guess it is possible.

OP
I imagine there is mega amounts of data to go through so they didn't want to release prematurely...

Could it be these are incriminating emails Hillary deleted from her server when she had it wiped it clean?

Uh, Julian, it's a little late to pull that rabbit of your hat, and it's a bit of bad timing

It won't necessarily take an indictment per se to knock her out of the race.

I fear our news media won't pick it up, or it will fall way of Panama Papers.

Not with her dedicated supporters. But she will need more than just them to get elected
