Hillary In The Hoosegow?

Font Size:

What are the odds that Hillary Clinton will actually be punished for breaking the law? What are the chances that she’ll trade in her pantsuit for an orange jumpsuit?

It doesn’t seem likely to me. But then, it didn’t seem likely that she’d get beaten in 2008 by a phony little jerk with an even thinner résumé than hers. So I’m trying to keep an open mind about this one. Stephen Dinan, Washington Times:

The Obama administration will soon find itself in court having to explain to federal judges why it never told anyone former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used a secret email address, potentially spoiling dozens of open records requests, experts said Wednesday.

And Mrs. Clinton could face up to three years in prison per message if she is found to have broken her word and handled classified information on the secret account, one open records expert told The Washington Times.

Yeah, I dunno. It’s fun to think about, but really? If Hillary Clinton was ever going to get thrown in jail, it would’ve happened a long time ago. She could blow somebody’s brains out on live TV, and then she’d spend the next 20 minutes parsing the phrase “trigger pull.” Her defenders would make Cheney jokes and list all the other Republicans who own guns. Any evil wingnuts who held her accountable, under the same laws and rules as everybody else, would be labeled “traitors” who were “overreaching.”

If the unthinkable does happen, though, you can bet your bottom $200,000 that Hilldog will end up running the joint. And she won’t be locked up in there for long. No cage can hold her.
