I realize that there is very little chance that the Clintons can be hurt by these investigations. But you have to consider what happened to Don Siegleman who did not break ANY law whatsoever and he spent years in prison and is still being silenced. He is a felon yet not a single syllable of a law was broken. And he did exactly what GOPPERS do every day.
They make stuff up. They collude. They connive. They conspire. etc etc.

(6,979 posts)WHOSE to stop these Mobsters in the White House running our government? It sure won't be the CON-gress whose complicit with everything tRump does. Whose to say that the Clinton's WON'T get the Don Siegelman treatment? The right-wing and their haters have been trying for 30 years, and NOW is the right time for them to pull it off since we have a Mobster installed in the White House who has henchmen (His cabinet/CON-gress), and lawlessness abound.

The Clintons are way too smart to engage in that. And in any case the Statute of Limitations is five years. The five years will elapse on 1/20/2018.
Ditto for reopening the e-mail investigation.

(99,719 posts)The Clinton lawyers would make horse's asses out of the prosecutors if it ever got that far.
Plus, crimes are time limited . On 1/20/18 it will be five years since HRC was SOS which is where these apocryphal accusations emanate from.

This is a vicious and relentless incantation of the Republican Party. They have the taste of blood in their mouth (Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, Al Franken, Jon Conyers, Don Siegelman). I wouldn't be surprised if they went after FDR after they finished with the Clintons.
They're insane and out of control.

(10,131 posts)They would love a Clinton Foundation under the media microscope side show going into the mid terms and demand at least equal media time as the Russia probe.
Benghazi and the emails did a lot of damage to Hillary as a candidate. Trump could not have won without that damage.
They can impeach Trump to save themselves saying "Impeaching Trump shows that we're the party to clean up Washington and now we're going to get Crooked Hillary".
These are ruthless people. They'll do anything to cling to power. Looking back at Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks, Reagan Iran hostages/contra, Willie Horton ad, swiftboating John Kerry, etc - this is what these GOP people do to get power.
