[Hoot Gibson]

^I misspelled diGenova's wife's name. It is Victoria Toensing. I blame my phone. I hate texting and typing on my phone, but I guess I was in a good mood after hearing such a rosy scenario for diGenova.

A few months ago, diGenova was not so optimistic when he said the Clinton's lawyers might be able to get her off by arguing “that she was so stupid and so busy that she didn’t have any idea what was going on.”

DiGenova said that the sheer number of classified documents that have been found among Clinton's emails will make it very hard for the FBI not to recommend pursuing cases against Clinton's staff, which will probably lead them to her eventually.

FBI Director James Comey is a Republican who served as Deputy Attorney General under John Ashcroft. Obama appointed Comey to a 10-year term in 2013, so if the evidence is there to pursue the case against Hillary Clinton, he has little to lose by recommending prosecution. It is unlikely that Loretta Lynch will agree to charge Clinton this year, but unless she is ready to retire at the end of Obama's term, she may be willing to let Comey to negotiate some plea bargains to avoid losing all credibility.
