IF CLINTON GETS CHARGED, THEN WHAT?

With the news yesterday that Hillary had investigated and was aware of a legal loophole in the FOIA regulations that would prevent FOIA requests for any of her emails sent or received through her private server and that she deliberately used her own server to avoid disclosing her activities, and with the discovery that some 1,200 of the emails sent and received through that server were classified, the probability looms that the FBI will recommend charges against her.  So the question arises, "then what?"  

Well, it's not quite cut and dry.  The Justice Department could refuse to prosecute at all, or it could delay a decision on the matter until after the November elections.  I think it is highly unlikely that they would proceed to actually file charges against her before the election because if they don't and if she does get elected and later impeached, there will still be a Democrat, (her VP), in the White House.  The alternative, of course, is that she drops out of the race and then Bernie Sanders gets the nomination.  

Or, the Democrats could go into their convention without a clear candidate and hand the nomination to Michelle Obama or John Kerry.  

One thing you can be assured of: the top canines in the Democrat Party have already fully explored their options in some smoke-filled pizza bar in a dark, dark alley of Washington.
