I'm thinking the FBI will probably end up recommending indictment.

However, that doesn't mean she's indicted, because the FBI can't do that. Obama's attorney general Loretta Lynch has to do the actual indictment, and I don't think she will.

But if she does, I feel sure that Obama will immediately pardon her: outgoing Presidents frequently strew pardons around pretty indiscriminately.

At this point it's pretty inconceivable that Hillary will spend a day in jail, or even see a pair of handcuffs. If the email thing is going to affect her candidacy, the vehicle won't be the government, it'll be media, Old and New alike.

"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
