If Hillary is elected and after inauguration is found guilty of a criminal act..

...in the e-mail investigation, will she have to resign from office?

Or what course of action is open to her?

The FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unsecured email account is not just a fact-finding venture — it’s a criminal probe, sources told The Post on Wednesday.

It will be funny.  Almost as funny as the Russians dumping every email she sent all over the internet a week before the election will be.


uggg...I don't like how that's worded, but I think you get the idea.

She'd be impeached long before she was found guilty of a crime.

Would make her enormously unpopular no doubt, but is a self-pardon legal?

The Presidential pardon power does not extend to preventing impeachment of any official.  All a self-pardon could do is prevent her from going to jail from a criminal trial after her impeachment trial.

Ending thread, since any discussion past this point belongs on the 2016 board.
