Hillary Clinton Should Concede to Bernie Sanders Before The FBI Reveals Its Findings
Millions of Democrats are voting for a presidential candidate linked to an FBI criminal investigation. These voters either don’t know there’s been a year-long FBI investigation of Clinton’s emails, don’t care, or would vote for Clinton even she faced Espionage Act indictments. Potentially our next Commander in Chief will be interviewed by the FBI soon, as will her top aides. This state of affairs would never take place in any other leading democracy, but American politics is unique.
Bernie Sanders has political momentum, grass roots support throughout the nation, and defeats Donald Trump by a wider margin than Clinton. Sanders has surged to within several points nationally of Clinton, despite being over 50 points down not long ago. In contrast, Clinton lost astronomical leads to both Obama and Sanders, and doesn’t keep polling leads. Furthermore, Trump won’t watch his tone about emails, and every other scandal associated with both Clintons. The pedestrian polling lead Hillary Clinton currently holds over Donald Trump isn’t set in stone; Trump is already ahead of Clinton in a recent poll.
Don’t be certain Trump can’t defeat Clinton in a general election, even if the FBI doesn’t recommend indictments. Once he pivots towards being a semi-normal human being, and distances himself from the bigoted stances he utilized to gain power within the GOP, Clinton would face a more “likable†Trump. In a battle of two individuals with negative favorability ratings, the person who might have jeopardized national security with a private server could easily lose.
In the best case scenario, Clinton doesn’t face indictments, but the FBI confirms that she jeopardized national security. Thus, Republicans would make even the best case scenario for Clinton’s campaign a major political liability. America isn’t a closed Democratic primary, and Clinton would be on the defensive during every televised debate against Trump.

1. she already knows what the outcome is likely to be
because she knows what she did.
She may yet lie to the FBI, though.
Attention Judy grasswire and the other Bernie bullies:
I've often quoted franksolich's First Rule of Everything: anything can happen, and usually does.
It's a long time until the Democrat national convention, plenty of time for the unexpected to occur.
However.
However.
However.
One thing about which one can be certain is that if Messalina Agrippina for some reason doesn't get to be the Democrat candidate for president.....it won't be Methuselah, either.
Bernie and his bullies have pissed off too many Democrats; because of the coarse, rude, inconsiderate, dismissive ways they've been treated by the gimme crowd, they aren't going to turn to the old sourassed sourpuss in the absence of the lady; they'll go with someone who hasn't abused, humiliated, and bullied them.
Bank on it.
