#1 Here is link to an excellent 45 minute video about the corrupt failure of the DOJ to prosecute any of the arch criminals at Goldman Sachs, following that bank's ruthless plundering of it client's funds, during the period leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.

http://youtu.be/eHgbRYgpGGs

The way that this ties in to Hillary's Treasongate situation is in how the video details the DOJ's use of the illegitimate concept of avoiding "potential consequential collateral damage" (to ostensibly "innocent" parties) as a basis to decline to prosecute blatant crimes.

The video basically demonstrates how the DOJ avoids prosecuting its crony associates by claiming that it is necessary to overlook blatant and serious crimes, in the interests of the "greater good" - because even investigating such crimes might potentially cause market or social disruptions.

This approach is tailor made for allowing the sneering Hilligula to escape justice.

#2 If she is charged and still elected, can she pardon herself?

#4 It’s time she did what a decent person would do — temporarily shelve her presidential campaign.

If laughter prolongs your life, you just gave me a decade, besoeker.

#5 If the market reacts to a criminal managed company by dumping their stock price that's a GAIN for society.

#8 No.

Too many people in five huge industries - entertainment, education, finance/banking, IT, and public employment - have given money to her as a mercenary to enforce a certain quid pro quo for a) guarantees that their income will never cease and/or b) indulgences from the regulatory leviathan of the federal government.

These industries alone have spent nearly a billion dollars through various channels to see her elected president. DOJ employees are part of one of those industries.

So no, there will be no charges.

Nothing personal, just business.

#18 So no, there will be no charges.
And no changes, either. Champ's third term.

Maybe part of the deal when she took the Secretary of State position. For a dollar and other valuable considerations.

#25 I guess I should be more liberal with the sarc button since a few thought I was contemplating a crime.

#27 This marks the open criminalization of the ruling class. If they cannot prosecute such a screamingly obvious violation of the law, then there is little that can and will be done to anyone in the power circles there.

... until those so-called ruling class elites are removed from power. Forcibly removed is becoming more and more likely. Continues flouting and disrespect for the law will eventually result in it being ignored and violence will follow. Targeting politicians and their sycophants in business, academia and press. And this isn't "chain myself to a truck door" symbolic stuff, I'm talking about nasty, real violence, bodies hanging from lamp-posts type of violence.

#28 Conspiracy Theory: Hillary is there to lock up the Dem nomination away from Bernie and the socialists. Once that is accomplished, she withdraws and the Obama clique, as they secretly planned with her, get to appoint the Dem candidate. Hillary gets a "compassion" pardon by Obama on the way out the door, Dems get their establishment hack/puppet/figurehead that can challenge whoever the GOP throws up there, and they remain in power.

We are living in a really really bad political fiction novel right now.

#29 Hill and Bill get permanent victim card status from the Conspiracy, and can continue to rake in money from the marks like a good carney

#30 Hillary's biggest electoral problem is that Mainstream Americans still don't trust her due to the malices aforethought she allegedly committed in order to keep hubby Bill from formal imprisonment + impeachment, etc. TOO MANY AMERICANS SEE HER AS A PARTNER TO BILL'S CRIMES OR ACTIONS, NOT AS A LOYAL, STOIC, LONG- SUFFERING WIFE.

Although the MSM-Net wont admit to it for now, IMO the real threat to Hillary stems not from the FBI but from whom I like to label as America's "Last Anti-Commie WASP/WASC" Donald Trump, + even from Bernie Sanders vee threat of a "brokered" DNC this summer.

I've said it before - SANDERS is just the polite face or beginning of Marxism-Commie-Socialism-Govtism beoming electorally overt in the US. IFF THE US IS STILL N-O-T SUBORNED UNDER OWG + COMMIE-SOC WORLD ORDER BY 2025, EXPECT TO SEE THE HARDLINE COMMIES + ALIGNED TO COME OUT VIA BOTH THE ELECTORAL PROCESS, + ESPEC VIA VIOLENT NATIONAL MILITANCY INCLUD ARMED INSURRECTION.
