I think I can predict this with some confidence.<\/p>\n

If Hillary Rodham Clinton’s e-mail controversy doesn’t result in a federal indictment, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee won’t get a moment’s reprieve from her critics.<\/p>\n

The FBI is examining whether Clinton violated any laws when she used her personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state. An indictment would have to come from a federal grand jury on the recommendation of the FBI prosecutors.<\/p>\n

There’s that problem, of course, with former President Bill Clinton’s impromptu meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch the other day in Phoenix. Clinton should have stayed away; Lynch should have shooed him off her plane. Why? The investigation looms as a serious problem for the ex-president’s wife — and he should have known better than to go anywhere near the AG, who oversees the FBI.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton’s headaches won’t end if the FBI decides there’s nothing for which to indict her.<\/p>\n

But the way I look at it now, she’s been through enough hell already from those who hate her that she’s likely immune from too much further damage.<\/p>\n

Heck, she’s been hectored and harassed since before her husband ran for president in 1992. She’s been examined, grilled and persecuted ever since.<\/p>\n

And spare me the canard that the media have been soft on her.<\/p>\n

If only the candidate’s husband had stayed away from the attorney general. But he didn’t.<\/p>\n

It’s up now to the career prosecutors and investigators at the FBI to do their job. I have confidence they’ll do what they have to do.<\/p>\n

I realize the futility of this request, but I’ll make it anyway: Whatever their conclusions, how about we just accept them and move on?<\/p>\n\n
