Experts cast doubt on Clinton indictment

Don't expect an indictment of Hillary Clinton anytime soon, according to experts. Recommendations by the FBI to indict a person over the mishandling of classified information usually come only as a result of the most flagrant violations of law, a Monday report said.

"If you look at the history of what they pursued, you really had to have a slam-bam case that met all the elements," one former senior FBI official said for the report in Politico. Of 30 cases in which investigators recommended a misdemeanor charge for mishandling classified information between 2011 and 2015, prosecutors pursued charges in just six.
