Hillary Clinton Says She Won’t Be Indicted Over Emails. Is That Right?
In last night’s Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton dismissed a question about whether she would resign if indicted for mishandling classified information, saying “Oh for goodness … that’s not going to happen. I’m not even answering that question.”
A report by Christian Science Monitor staff writer Peter Grier addresses the question: Is Clinton right to be so dismissive?
“On the one hand, the FBI investigation of the issue could be a shield for Clinton,” Grier writes. “If she isn’t indicted, she can use that fact as an all-purpose dismissal. Something along the lines of, ‘The feds found no problem here, so move along, move along.’ ”
But Republicans will keep the issue alive, he adds, pointing to two new lawsuits seeking access to Clinton’s State Department communications.
