Do you WANT Hillary Clinton to be indicted?

Just curious. I kind of understand being afraid about the chances, but it seems like a lot of people are rooting for it. Wondering what the numbers are.

These are primarily procedural issues with no intent to harm.

I don't believe in prosecuting them, especially when there was no harm shown to have been done.

You shouldn't be prosecuted every time you speed up to pass a bad driver.

I do not WANT her to be indicted, but if there's evidence to support an indictment then, yes, she should be.

I am not rooting for one, despite my disdain for Ms. Clinton.

Whether or not I believe crimes were committed, I think our country is absolutely brutal in its meting out of "justice." I believe in cause and effect so nothing is done in a vacuum.

I just think that exposing her lies is enough to show what's she is really all about and to keep her from becoming POTUS.

It may be the only thing left to save the Democratic Party from the hostile corporate takeover that will be complete with her nomination.

Also, letting her slide when it's clear she's guilty as hell will pretty much put an end to any idea of equality under the law, so there are at least these two compelling reasons to want to see her indicted.

She's going to be the nominee. I support Bernie through and through, but facts are facts.

So, no. I do not want her to be indicted, because I do not want a President Donald OMG OMG OMG Trump. And even now, she does not have much of a margin over him, so I want the FBI to say she is the vision of perfection and a saint in human form.

have said that if it had been anyone else they would probably have already lost their clearance, their job and been indicted already if they had done what Clinton did.
