This side of November, 2017 (assuming she gets the nomination), these messes are albatrosses around Tsaritsa Chill's political neck. And not just in direct PR. Whether she gets indicted or not is in BHO's hands. If she hoes too far off the Obamian Plantation, if she takes a crap on his "legacy" (such as it is), the Indictment Hammer falls. Tsaritsa Chill needs separation between herself and BHO, and all this tethers her to him, and gags/muffles her political speech.
OTOH, if the Rs and conservatives get enough of what Tsaritsa Chill did "out there" - bypassing the MSM or swamping/shaming them into covering it - and she doesn't get the D nomination, she may become a liability and a convenient scapegoat.
