The best she can do for the country is go away on a six month self exile.

She's no longer qualifies for the future presidential candidate rate after all. She'll still be getting more than our combined incomes though.

I remember someone disparaging me for (posting a comment from a friend) that the insane speaking fees are a form of legal bribery. We shall see, but I doubt she will be giving very many speeches soon.

Depends in which country she seeks political asylum.

Trump has tated that he will imprison her, trial or no trial, his supporters want her hanged, trial or no trail, so there you have it.

We're now that country. No more high roads for us.

Wonder how many of his detractors will end up in prison.

I once had some hope that we would eventually become a civilized democracy. Hadn't counted on a dictatorship.

Hillz is literally history, and the Dems need to find leadership without strings for unity soon.

That's one campaign promise he's not going to follow up on.

She will be allowed to retire comfortably on the 100+ million dollar fortune her and Bill have managed to acquire through their hard working service to the public.

If he has to deal with any enemies, they will more likely be on the right.

Like that Ayn Rand disciple prick Paul Ryan.

As far as I am concerned Trump can send some of his people to pay that little prick a visit and take him on a little ride. A one way ride.

You've known me for years Potter. You know that I have always maintained that if I were dictator, I would be like Stalin.

Yes. Stalin mostly lived in a reality of his own creation. One in which Hitler was not going to invade, and Jewish doctors we plotting to kill him, etc, etc.

He might now believe something like Trump will see Ryan as an enemy.

Party purges, anyone? Denunciations from the floor of the Congress?

Hillary has no political future. Obama has no need for a political future. He should pull a Gerald Ford and preemptively pardon Hillary for any imagined criminal offenses.

A good idea as long as actual ones are excluded.
