13. Waiting for a Clinton indictment? Don’t hold your breath

I a m amused by the Sanders supporters and republicans praying for an indictment http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/waiting-clinton-indictment-dont-hold-your-breath

The fact remains, however, that such a scenario is pretty far-fetched. Politico’s Josh Gerstein took a closer look today at the legal circumstances, and the reasons Clinton’s foes shouldn’t hold their breaths.

The examination, which included cases spanning the past two decades, found some with parallels to Clinton’s use of a private server for her emails, but – in nearly all instances that were prosecuted – aggravating circumstances that don’t appear to be present in Clinton’s case.

The relatively few cases that drew prosecution almost always involved a deliberate intent to violate classification rules as well as some add-on element: An FBI agent who took home highly sensitive agency records while having an affair with a Chinese agent; a Boeing engineer who brought home 2000 classified documents and whose travel to Israel raised suspicions; a National Security Agency official who removed boxes of classified documents and also lied on a job application form.

Politico’s examination seems to have only been able to find one person who sincerely believes Clinton will face prosecution: former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), who was a prosecutor and a Justice Department official before his partisan antics made him something of a clownish joke.

Among more objective observers, the idea of Clinton facing an indictment seems, at best, implausible. This is very much in line with a recent American Prospect examination, which reached the same conclusion.

TPM’s Josh Marshall published a related piece in February, after speaking to a variety of law professors and former federal prosecutors about the Clinton story. “To a person,” Josh wrote, they agreed the idea of a Clinton indictment is “very far-fetched.”

25. Better than this: Hillary cites RFK assassination in explaining why she's still in race

Hillary cites RFK assassination in explaining why she's still in race

Hillary Clinton today cited the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign to explain why she was remaining in the race despite long odds.

"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California," Clinton told the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. " I don't understand it," Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.

Clinton made the statement after pointing out that her husband didn't lock up the nomination until June of 1992, trying to point out that, by past history, it's not late in the campaign. (See a clip of the interview here.)

But Barack Obama received Secret Service protection one year ago this month, the earliest ever in presidential history, after reports of threats.

4. No. Let's watch this to the very end.

[NCTraveler]

5. I'm a little excited about Weavers next move.

It's pretty clear the decisions are his, not Sanders. He is driving people back to the "establishment."

If Skinner wants to call it that's cool too. It's really past time.

Not sure what "Heidi" is in reference to.

[msanthrope]

6. Heidi Bowl. The only problem? Sanders is the NY Jets. nt

[hellofromreddit]

7. "It's pretty clear the decisions are his, not Sanders."

How do you get that?

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-heidi-bowl

On November 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets–and no one sees it, because they’re watching the movie Heidi instead. With just 65 seconds left to play, NBC switched off the game in favor of its previously scheduled programming, a made-for-TV version of the children’s story about a young girl and her grandfather in the Alps. Viewers were outraged, and they complained so vociferously that network execs learned a lesson they’ll never forget: “Whatever you do,” one said, “you better not leave an NFL football game.”

[pat_k]

12. Got it!

Now I feel silly.

[Art_from_Ark]

41. And my mother said,

"Hooray, the football game is over! Time to watch Heidi!"

[leveymg]

10. Here's the only rational response to that: Comey

Once the FBI report is out -- she violated her signed classified information nondisclosure agreement -- HRC will no longer be the presumed Democratic candidate. No sense in calling anything other than her favorite lawyers.

[leveymg]

18. That's a strange name for someone who has worked for DNC, DSCC and DGA, and Democratic campaigns

back to 1964.

Deal with facts, she's violated the law. That will have consequences. Get ready for the next steps that have to be taken, or else.

[randome]

17. Then you have nothing to worry about and can still support the Democratic nominee.

You know, if you're into teamwork and all that.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it.
Nothing.[/center][/font][hr]

[leveymg]

19. We have everything to worry about, including losing the GE. Time to talk about better alternatives.

[randome]

21. Sorry, that time is long past. We have to work with the tools available.

I'm not crazy about Clinton but she's obviously our nominee so let's work together on moving her further to the left. Anything less is just giving up.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it.

[leveymg]

22. She's not available. She's been recalled by the factory.

The fact that she violated her security agreement has been apparent since March of 2015. She shouldn't have proceeded past that point, but for her hubris.

[yourpaljoey]

31. If she drops out now, I will donate $27 to her defense fund... or her orange suit

[frylock]

40. Orange is a good color.

[yourpaljoey]

43. Well, she ordered chicken... chicken is coming.

I see they are trying to make believe low blow blow dried Biden can replace Sanders.
Muahahahahahaha!!!!!

[DrDan]

15. the campaigns of both leaders changed as of last night

time for us to do likewise and bring civility back to the discussion

[bkkyosemite]

28. Nothing has changed except for more evidence of just how rigged this election is.

[DrDan]

30. well, that's where you are wrong

both Hillary and Trump had a different tone - they are both assuming the role of the presumptive nominee . . . appropriately

[Marrah_G]

16. The primaries are NOT over

[VulgarPoet]

23. Damn, Scuba, at it again with the dry wit

[CorkySt.Clair]

24. And delusion

26. Well done nt

27. Thanks Scuba /nt

32. I hope that when it is called, everyone that racked up

multiple hides be made to pay the Piper and serve the timeouts they so rightly deserve.

[truebrit71]

33. Yeah, good luck with that....

[Babel_17]

34. Lol, that took me a second ...

I remember that night, it was crazy.

[pdsimdars]

35. I hate to ignore a supposed Bernie supporter but I guess it isn't who you support, but how

much nonsense you allow to flow out of you.

Buh bye

[Babel_17]

36. Hold on for a minute, please

It's time to run "Heidi."

That's sarcasm. When I was a kid a network was showing a Jets game. The game was running late and the network was anxious because they had a movie, which they presumably paid a lot for, and which had commercials earmarked for its demographic, to run. The movie was Heidi.

Thinking that the game was essentially over, the Jets were up a lot and very little time on the clock was left, they cut away from it and started showing Heidi. As you might be guessing, the game suddenly got intensely exciting and the Jets ending up losing. Fans were incensed that they missed out on this, many switched to listening on their radios, and bombarded the network with angry calls.

There's more to the story.

So the OP is, imo, comparing the sentiment to just call this race over, and adjust these forums accordingly, to the sentiment by the network to call that football game over.

So I guess the poster's Sanders supporter credentials are still intact, lol.

Cheers!

[pdsimdars]

37. I come here for discussion and information not for people to play games and fuck with me.

Your OP was stupid and had nothing in it that indicated sarcasm or otherwise. You were just MESSING with people. Grow up some. Not funny.

[Babel_17]

39. It wasn't my OP but OK (nt)

[farleftlib]

42. Hey, you remembered the comma!

Nobody else remembered to use the comma before Skinner's name. Now that he is
aware that he is being addressed, maybe he will finally call it!
