    The Un-Democratic Party

    http://www.trunews.com/rigged-democ...-frontrunner-while-sanders-wins-popular-vote/

    Democrats’ delegate allocation system came under fire after last week’s New Hampshire primary. Sanders won 60 percent of the popular vote in that contest — Clinton carried 38 percent of the vote. That rout earned Sanders 15 pledged delegates — those apportioned based on raw vote totals. Clinton was awarded nine pledge delegates. But she also picked up six of the state’s eight superdelegates, meaning that she effectively tied Sanders, assuming that none of the superdelegates switch to Sanders.

    I don't understand how those kids kept a straight face for most of that.

    There is political pressure in the democratic administration to not act, as it would hurt or kill her chances.

    The justice department wants to be thorough in making its case. From the reports, the scope of the investigation has grown to include several of her top aids as well as the Clinton Foundation. The foundation alone requires study of numerous donations while she was Secy of State, repeated subpoenas to force those involved to testify under oath (penalty of law: lying is an imprisonable offense), etc.

    Her actions at the very least include subversion of our government freedom of information regulations, unsafe handling of top secret information, attempted destruction of potential evidence, etc.

    She's changed her story several times to try to explain away facts that come out that show her previous statements are lies. That alone would be criminal obstruction of justice.

    People mistakenly say things like her predecessors did it too. None of them condone Hillary's operations and some are also being investigated for similar email misuse. Plus the government regulations on email handling changed over time, and she deliberately violated the ones when she was in office.

    The Foundation investigation appears to be centered around several/numerous substantial donations to the foundation followed by favorable trade or political favors by Secy of State to those donors.

    The political pressure might cause the administration to drag their feet on indictment and prosecution. Until after the election or even until when she might assume office if elected.

    I don't think any charges will be ignored. If there is cause or causes to indict, it will happen.

    Or they will offer a plea deal.

    Such a deal would kill her election chances if it happens or is offered before the election.

    100-150 FBI agents indicates a significant investigation is under way. No doubt.

    Would being under indictment prohibit her from seeking elected office?

    The Clinton Foundation will make a giant donation to Obama's presidential library and he'll issue her a pardon.

    Nope. She could be in prison and still run for president.

    No, but it would be hard for voters to justify voting for a potential felon. Or for a candidate that may end up in jail after getting elected.
