WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton says Republicans are living in a world of “fantasy and hope” if they think she’ll be indicted over her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

Legal experts agree that charges are unlikely. But Matt Lauer of NBC’s “Today Show” says Republicans tell him privately they hope Clinton will be taken out of the election equation in coming months because of criminal charges.

Clinton laughed at the suggestion, saying the suggestion shows how desperate the GOP has become and that their “fondest wishes” won’t come true.

Of the ongoing investigation, Clinton calls it a “security review” that is “conducted in our government all the time.”

  1. Fantasy is right! Just like the years and years of over-reach by most RW pundits, RW websites, RW radio…blah, blah, blah! And yes, they are all preparing already for the non-indictment gala party where they will all now claim:
    -the fix was in
    -she was guilty no matter what Justice says.
    -Hillary personally kidnapped those 150 agents and Bill strangled them all in his NYC’s condo’s basement.
    -FBI Director Comey was paid off and later assassinated by his own troops in the front lines fighting ISIS.
    -Bill will become the next SC justice as his payoff.
    -RW talking heads, especially on Fox, need to hold their fire for fear President Clinton will have them arrested, sent to those FEMA camps and be force to live in those trailers.

    Jeesh, I could go on but even more fanciful RW sh*t will be sprewed…and soon.

    Well of course they do it is just about the only hope they have of the Democrats facing a mess even close to as big as the self made one the Republicans are facing in their primary.
