The FBI/DOJ are not going to indict a presidential candidate during an election year. It just isn't going to happen. It doesn't matter which party or who has the White House.

you really believe that?


talk about living in a world of hope and fantasy.....investigation dragged on because of all the lies about documents not being available, slow leak of emails with Benghazi info and how can you justify HRC lying to the families of the benghazi dead that it was because of a video? With a half azed lie like that, the smell of blood in the water is overwhelming.


Not delivering all the requested info and the inquiry drags on proportionately.


New info emerges constantly about the emails and no surprise, emails about benghazi benghazi, hillary is toast, criminally, morally and ethically. Too bad if she is elected as it will be a black eye for women's pride in another novelty election winner devoid of qualifications and based on lies.

By all accounts Comey is very principled and respected by many people, keep in mind this is someone who as acting AG threatened to resign because the Bush administration attempted to circumvent him on NSA spying.

If the FBI recommends indictment and the DOJ doesn't follow through there will be some serious ramifications. Clinton's chances of election become slim to none and I don't think Sanders can win. A Republican led administration will pursue this so she'll end up in jail in anyway.

Bernie Sanders is hoping Clinton is indicted also, that's why he's still in the race.

People need to learn Clintonese - Hillary didn't say she would not be indicted; she said she wouldn't be handcuffed... big difference!

EVERYONE, regardless of democrat or republican, should be very disappointed at this possibility, as it clearly shows that there are "ubermench" in our society who are above the laws of the land.

When certain citizens or groups are immune from uniform application of the law, it is a prelude to revolution/anarchy. The uniform application of the law in the US has assured civil stability, as citizens have understood that the rule of law applies to everyone, regardless of class. When laws are selectively applied, citizens begin to express dissent at being "second class" to the ruling elite.

No Hillary indictment- we are one the road to a revolution or disolving the union.
GOP Secretary of State Colin Powell used private e-mail too - so did GOP Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice (AND members of their respective staffs). Those folks even received CLASSIFIED information just like Hillary did (and - as with Hillary - none of it was marked "classified" at the time).
Where's your complaint about THEM?
Oh wait, they are not standing in the way of GOP folks trying to be President.

Hillary was simply doing pretty much what her GOP predecessors had done.

Jeb Bush used a private e-mail server when he was governor. So did Marco Rubio as Senator, so did staff of Chris Christie when he was governor. So did Rick Perry & Bobbie Jindal when they were in office. LOTS of high-ranking government folks have done that - for YEARS. It's nothing new and no one really gave it thought until recently. Should that have been the case? Of course not. It was not very bright, but it wasn't a crime. Should it have been a crime? Possibly, but - as with many fairly recent technologies from computers to drones - the law has yet to catch up with all the implications of the technology. In addition, there is NO real cross-agency standards as to WHAT is marked "classified" - making it very hard to tell for sure what is classified and what it not. Something can be considered classified by the CIA but not by the FBI or the State Department - and the opposite is true as well. It's definitely a messy subject that has NEVER been fully addressed by any administration. The faux outrage from the Right about Hillary's e-mail is PURE POLITICS - nothing more.

So, there will be no indictment - regardless of what all those FOX News sheep hear over and over and over again from a bunch of right-wing blovators .

So I guess the law doesn't apply to presidential candidates?

This has be debunked so many times that even Hillary supporters know it isn't true.

We'll all see, won't we? But you'll have to pardon me for not getting myself into a tizzy, so far it just looks like more of the SOS to me.

No, we won't. No matter how it plays out, indictment, no indictment, it won't be Republicans making the deicision, it will be the Feds. The Feds aren't investigating her on Republican request, they won't indict her on Republican request. It's an investigation completely independant of anything Republicans might want or say, but Hillary doesn't want the masses to know that. She wants to portray it as just another Republican witch hunt.
