One of the more interesting dynamics on DU:GDP is found in the discussions of Secretary of State Hillary Clintons server and e-mails. To the left are found many who believe that Hillary is very likely to be indicted; to the right are found those who insist the FBIs investigation is yet another 1990s republican attack on all things Clinton. I suspect that the truth lies somewhere else, and not necessarily in the middle of those polar viewpoints.
No thinking person can deny that there were mistakes made, including dealing with information that was of the nature known as classified. Likewise, only the brain-dead would deny that the rabid republican right engaged in a hostile program to smear both Bill and Hillary Clinton throughout President Clintons years in office.
Like everyone else here, I can only speculate on what the outcome of the FBIs investigation may be. I suspect it will not be either Hillary being led away in handcuffs, or the FBI concluding the entire controversy was a 1990s master-plan by republicans in the House of Mis-representatives. Of course, I could be 100% wrong, and both results could occur simultaneously.
I suspect the most likely outcome will be that the investigation will conclude there was some wrong-doing, and some people -- other than Hillary -- will be identified as being responsible. It may be that one or more will be charged. Or that no one will face any criminal charges.
Thus, I would think that a more relevant conversation for our consideration would be what the impact of this scenario would be, should Hillary be our partys nominee.
