(11,802 posts)Sure, it wouldn't have mattered to die hard Democrats, but it certainly would have mattered to everyone else. The 20+ years of smears coupled with news that she was under investigation almost up to the election would have called the entire election into question. The GOP would have impeached her halfway through the first year. Public sentiment would have been against her (again, based on false smears) and enough Dems would've voted for her removal.

(11,802 posts)But news she was under criminal investigation days before the election would have given them a groundswell of support from the masses.

(6,139 posts)so he went as far as violating the law. This man cant be trusted and I am not interested in reading his book which is probably going to be boring (at least fire and fury was entertaining).

It would have had zero impact on Hillary's presidency.
