Could Hillary Clinton really be indicted over her emails?
@smithinamerica
Did Hillary Clinton do the wrong thing when she used a private email server while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013?
Did she break the law?
So how likely is it that Clinton will be indicted when the FBI hands its report to the Department of Justice?
Is anyone else in the line of fire?
If Clinton is indicted, what would happen?
But what if she is forced to pull out?

Content: The nameless former government lawyer says: “ Aides of hers are, sadly, in jeopardy. Did they transfer stuff from classified accounts to unclassified accounts, for example by retyping parts of messages on to a smartphone and sending them to Clinton? It’s the kind of thing people get indicted for.” It seems highly unlikely that Barack Obama and the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, would do anything to jeopardise Clinton’s historic candidacy, which Obama backed on Thursday, he adds. “ I can’t imagine Lynch doing it but it’s not inconceivable the FBI report will leak and say a lot of critical things. There’s nothing good coming out of that investigation.” That could yet have political fallout before the election and, if she wins it, there might even be pressure for President Clinton to face a special prosecutor, like Richard Nixon before her. If Clinton is indicted, what would happen? Innocent until proven guilty, she would not be legally barred from running for president.
