Can anyone cite a reliable link for this potential deal?
I do not know the veracity of this, but if its true, I am dead set opposed to it.
Nail her ass to the floor and then let's get on with the magical muslim.
So many traitors, so little time!

1. Can you recall a deal where a perp confesses to serious crimes and is given a complete pass on prosecution of that and more besides, without any other consideration, like providing evidence of crime on the part of others?
2. The political fall out would likely be fire and fury like the world has never seen.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Originally posted by cmr076: I consider the Daily Wire a reputable source, does't Ben Shapiro own and run it?
They are basing the article on a report in Newsmax - which based the story on a report by Ed Klein who said he had spoken with a Clinton lawyer.
I'm with JALLEN - what would the point of this be? If they aren't going to charge her and take it to trial, why have her sign a paper with no penalty and agree not to investigate the phony foundation? That doesn't make any sense.

Compare the story at the OP link with the Newsmax story it claims to be reporting on:
quote:
It's unlikely Hillary Clinton would accept a plea bargain from the Department of Justice if the FBI's email investigation is reopened, Ed Klein told Newsmax TV.
During an appearance on "America Talks Live," Klein — the author of "Guilty as Sin" — said Clinton is too stubborn to admit she might have done something wrong.
"Sometimes she has trouble admitting that she's Hillary Clinton, you're absolutely right," Klein told host Miranda Khan. "This is a woman who never, ever admits that she did anything wrong.
"We've all seen how she has blamed everybody but herself for her loss in 2016 at the presidential election. So you're right, I totally agree with you that the chances of her accepting such an offer are practically zero."
Klein reported earlier Tuesday that a DOJ official recently spoke with a Clinton legal adviser about the possibility of offering a plea bargain stemming from the email investigation. Former FBI director James Comey closed the case last summer, but Klein wrote that the DOJ is considering reopening it.
"They are seriously thinking of reopening this investigation and therefore if she doesn't take the plea agreement, which I agree with you, she almost certainly won't, I think they will then proceed with this investigation and this is going to drag on for a long time and in a way balance the investigation that's going on with President Donald Trump and his campaign advisers regarding so-called collusion with the Russians," Klein told Khan.
In a separate interview on Newsmax TV's "The Schnitt Show," Klein told host Rita Cosby that Clinton is a "battler" and would push back against a plea bargain offer.
"During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, it was Hillary who said no, we're not going to give an inch," Klein said. "She's not going to give an inch."

The deal, as described in that article makes no sense whatsoever for the government. They get absolutely nothing for it and Hillary is let off with no punishment whatsoever and gets an end to all further investigations even on an unrelated matter????
I am extremely doubtful that such an offer was made It either didn't happen or was inaccurately reported.

That was my fear as well when I couldn't find a reliable source.
Sorry for the titillation.

Failed presidential candidate and former first lady Hillary Clinton now has some interest in becoming a Methodist preacher, according to The Atlantic.
Clinton’s pastor Bill Shillady told The Atlantic that Clinton had expressed interest in preaching when he saw her at a photo shoot for his book Strong for a Moment Like This for which Clinton has written the foreward. The book features daily devotionals he sent her during the 2016 campaign.
“Clinton is lifting up an intimate, closely guarded part of herself,” Emma Green writes. “There are no more voters left to lose. In sharing her faith, perhaps Clinton sees something left to win, whether political or personal.”
Shillady says he wrote the book at Clinton’s suggestion and that Clinton and her staffers read and approved the copy ahead of time.
The book apparently offers a “rare window” into the way Scripture shaped Clinton on the campaign trail.
“Hillary Rodham grew up attending First United Methodist Church in the conservative suburb of Park Ridge, Illinois, often taking field trips into Chicago with her youth pastor to see figures like Martin Luther King Jr.,” Green notes. “While other girls were flipping through beauty mags, she was reading about Vietnam and poverty in a now-defunct magazine for Methodist students called motive.”
Such moving imagery recalls to mind the image of Chelsea Clinton who also eschewed flipping through beauty mags to write a letter at age five to then President Reagan to voice her “opposition to his visit to the Bitburg cemetery in Germany, because Nazis were buried there.”
“I didn’t think an American president should honor a group of soldiers that included Nazis. President Reagan still went, but at least I had tried in my own small way,” she earnestly recalled in her book It’s Your World (Get Informed! Get Inspired! Get Going!).
Political awareness and patriotism at a tender age must run in the Clinton family.
“Hillary finds it hard to talk about religion a lot,” Mike McCurry, Bill Clinton’s former press secretary said. She “comes from the Methodist tradition, which, like many more liberal, mainstream Protestant denominations, is a little more buttoned up.”
Yes, Clinton’s inability to discuss religion was very evident on the 2016 campaign trail when 43 percent of voters did not believe she was religious.
Clinton also frequently declined interviews with faith based publications and reportedly didn’t hire a full-time faith outreach director until June 2016. She also had no one focused specifically on evangelical outreach. White evangelicals make up one quarter of the electorate.
“Not to have anyone reaching out to a quarter of the electorate is political malpractice,” the Obama campaign’s 2012 faith outreach director, Michael Wear, told Slate following the election.
Shillady acknowledged that Clinton could have talked about her faith more on the campaign trail but said commentators ignored that aspect of her identity. “It’s been there all along,” he said. “The general public didn’t necessarily want to accept the fact that she’s a Christian because there’s so many critics out there about the Clintons.”
Clinton “doesn’t wear her religion on her sleeve,” according to Shillady, “she just practices it. She follows the edict of what’s attributed to St. Francis: ‘Preach the gospel always, and if you need to, use words.’”
One wonders how Clinton “just practices” the teachings of the United Methodist Church (UMC) that “the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching” and “we support laws in civil society that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.”
Apparently she practices this teaching by publicly and repeatedly avowing support for same-sex marriage.
“Given her depth of knowledge of the Bible and her experience of caring for people and loving people, she’d make a great pastor,” Shillady told Green.
He said that Clinton is not likely to pursue an official lay position in the Methodist church but that “it would be more of … her guest preaching at some point.”
“We have a long history of lay preachers in the United Methodist Church,” Shillady said.
At least Clinton could still opine on causes that are dear to her, access to late-term abortion and the continued taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, an organization that performed 328,348 abortions last year.
She is surely aware, however, that the UMC recently decided to leave the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC), a pro-abortion organization, with Delegates voting 425-268 to leave the group and some delegates commenting that “abortion is murder.”
“Maybe after all these years of hard-scrabble politics,” Green concludes, “Clinton is finally becoming a more straightforward version of herself: a woman whose fondest ambition is teaching scripture in church.”
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Well, churches are tax exempt. That may be her dodge.
