The Justice Department has reopened the investigation of Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified material on her private email system while she was secretary of state, and is considering offering her a plea bargain if she will agree to plead guilty to charges of breaking the law, according to a Clinton attorney.
The discussion of a plea bargain took place late last month and was offered by a high-ranking Justice Department official to the Clinton lawyer.
During the exploratory talks with the prosecutor, the Clinton attorney was told that despite former FBI Director James Comey's decision last July not to prosecute Hillary, the Justice Department has reexamined the email case and believes there are ample grounds for prosecuting Hillary on a number of counts.
Under the Justice Department's plea offer, Hillary would be required to sign a document admitting that she committed a prosecutable crime. In return, the DOJ would agree not to bring charges against Hillary in connection with the email probe.
Also as part of the agreement, the Justice Department would not proceed with an investigation of Hillary's pay to play deals with foreign governments and businessmen who contributed to the Clinton Foundation or who paid Bill Clinton exorbitant speaking fees.

So, that sailor who took a selfie in a nuclear sub that showed a classified screen behind him can just sign a paper that he did it? Then they will let him out of prison?
What about all the other cases where government employees or NSA contractors sent secret files out for publication? Let them off too? I think so.
If this doesn’t say there are two standards of justice, one for Democratic politicians and one for the deplorables, what does?
Too good to be true?
Sell out.
It would not be this soft if it was a Conservative or a Trump backer.
What did her husband get for pleading to perjury?
A $500 fine and his law license suspended for a year?
I’m tired of all the G__ D___ wrist-slapping that goes on in The Swamp.
Perhaps this is Fake News. Ed Klein has been hyperbolic in the past, and probably this is an example of his wishful thinking.
I wish it were true, but I have been often misled in the past.
Because you’d be in jail

And, I suspect, “Take the deal, and everything we have, all the evidence, will remain secret. Protect Huma, Chelsea, and the rest”.
If true, a pretty sweet deal. If she was as smart as she thinks she is she should accept it and move on. Her hubris will get the better of her though.
“....In return, the DOJ would agree not to bring charges against Hillary in connection with the email probe.”
No, No, No, No, No, NO! Orange Jumpsuit. NOTHING less.
“Ed Klein has been hyperbolic in the past..”
I don’t know who Ed Klein is.. So I can’t ascertain his accuracy.
‘Also as part of the agreement, the Justice Department would not proceed with an investigation of Hillary’s pay to play deals with foreign governments and businessmen who contributed to the Clinton Foundation or who paid Bill Clinton exorbitant speaking fees.’
This is stupid. The Clinton Foundation was a crime syndicate. Why should Hillary get a pass on that, for some meaningless ‘admission of guilt,’ re classified information that would have put any non-high-ranking Democrat in prison?
It’s a two-tiered ‘justice,’ system. One kid glove tier for Deep State aficionados, and another prison-oriented tier for everybody else.
She’s committed a lot of crimes.
If they plea bargain half of them, she’ll still have hundreds to stand trial for.
“Oh, H&!! no!
Lock her up!”
I agree, Hell no. Put her though the wringer.
She will outright reject this offer. Her hubris requires that the DOJ bring charges. She’s betting they won’t.
She was just turning her life around.
Only The Donald could get away with that phrase. Political theater at its finest.
The biggest and best live TV zinger in history IMHO.
I don’t think they make an ankle bracelet in cankle size (XX...XL) ;-)
Assuming it's a true report.
