President Barack Obama's former top military intelligence official said Hillary Clinton should pull out of the presidential race while the FBI investigate her use of a private email server for official government communication while secretary of state.

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the retired chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency, made the call in an interview with Jake Tapper on "The Lead."

"If it were me, I would have been out the door and probably in jail," said Flynn, who decried what he said was a "lack of accountability, frankly, in a person who should have been much more responsible in her actions as the secretary of state of the United States of America."

Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon later told Tapper the general's suggestion was "just silly" and pointed to similar FBI probes of former Secretary of State Colin Powell and of aides to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice....

Anybody else would have been in jail already.
The Clinton’s seem to have immunity from prosecution.
Her husband belongs in jail, too.

Bernie was only 7 points down in S.C. Hope he beats here there. She’d go into free fall.

It’s also making the DNC and Hillary spend a ton of money when they thought they could build up their bankroll for the general.

Sanders is a moron for not bringing this issue up every time he has a chance.

I bet that Bernie was in the race originally to make The Great Pumpkin look like a centrist but became popular ala Hussein O. She’ll never quit though she may be indicted and he’ll never be allowed to be the candidate. Here comes Mumbly Joe Biden.

I have a problem with Hillary “dropping out”.
WHO will replace her? Bernie Sanders? The Democrats will no more allow Sanders to be their nominee than the Republicans will Trump. In my opinion, Hillary drops out Biden hops in.
Loyalty vote goes to Biden along with enough to make him President.
In my opinion, he beats Cruz, Rubio or Bush by 10+ points.
