findings. The AG will likely run out the clock like Janet Reno did with CIA Director Deutch's case, and the President will end up pardoning Hillary.

But, I don't think Clinton will be nominated. That would run an irrational, unnecessary risk when there is someone who can be drafted at the Convention who has some chance of putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.

The other plausible scenario is that it goes to the VP nominee and the succession happens after the Convention. That one is too close to the Election for any comfort. I don't like driving or landing on Empty.
