Judge Nap: Hillary on the ropes
[Wash Times] Late last week, the inspector general of the State Department completed a yearlong investigation into the use by Hillary Clinton of a private email server for all of her official government email as secretary of state. The investigation was launched when information technology officials at the State Department under Secretary of State John Kerry learned that Mrs. Clinton paid an aide to migrate her public and secret State Department email streams away from their secured government venues and onto her own, non-secure server, which was stored in her home.

The migration of the secret email stream most likely constituted the crime of espionage -- the failure to secure and preserve the secrecy of confidential, secret or top-secret materials.

The inspector general interviewed Mrs. Clinton’s three immediate predecessors -- Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice -- and their former aides about their email practices. He learned that none of them used emails as extensively as Mrs. Clinton, none used a private server and, though Gen. Powell and Miss Rice occasionally replied to government emails using private accounts, none used a private account when dealing with state secrets.

With the Champ now actively involved in the 'Never Trump' campaign, a potential train wreck appears to be shaping up between the FBI and the DoJ.

#1 Not buying this.

No way all the players involved - the education industry, the IT industry, the entertainment industry, the banking/finance industry, and the public employment industry - walk away from the more than one billion they have invested in Hillary Clinton.

No way all the foreign money that poured into the Clinton Foundation in exchange for future favors simply gets put in a file and set on fire.

If I were a conspiracy guy, I'd say this is all a clever ruse to pose Hillary Clinton as the "comeback kid" in some near future.

#2 Let me see the "perp walk." I might then think this political vampire is on the ropes.

#3 If charges are brought before the Champ leaves office, we already know the outcome.

She goes down. Champ is a chump, but there are people around him who realise how vindictive Hillary is and whom she blames for not becoming POTUS in 2008.

#6 Super delegates could get cold feet. They must be thinking about who is the most viable candidate in November and, if the Beest loses California next week to Bernie, it ain't her. The people who have backed her so far must be wondering if they want to keep throwing good money after bad or if Biden might be a better way to go.

#7 I have seen some pundits say that if Queen McKacklepants can't seal the deal against Sanders, that she may back out right before the nomination due to "Health Reasons" and a Biden/Warren ticket will be presented.

At first I thought this would be silly, but as she implodes further I can see this happening.

#8 I cannot imagine the obsessed, self-absorbed, immoral bitch that is Hildabeest, stopping this quest for supremacy and wealth beyond imagining. The charade she and ZipperBill have pulled on the useful idiots of the left and fellow grifters of every stripe is dissolving in the miasma of revealed misdeeds, but they just plow on, driven by ambition and appetite and ego. Our choice on the trunk side is an ego-maniac capitalist plunderer, who might, just might, let competent people run the country while he basks in the butt-kissing. It is the lesser of two really bad choices and ought to earn each party an enormous public bitch-slap for their horrible offerings.
Please Director Comey, help put down Hilda's limitless ambition with a damning recommendation for indictment!

#10 They have too much invested in this to go quietly. I'd like to see how contributions to the CGI have fared given the further exposure of high speaking fees, FBI investigations, continuing disclosures. If she's out of the race, they'll get ZERO income
