Fitted for an Orange Jumpsuit

Writing for RealClearPolitics, Charles Lipson points out factors missed, intentionally or otherwise, by the MSM in the Clinton email mess.
Hillary faces far more than political trouble. She’s being fitted for an orange jumpsuit.

The intelligence services remember how seriously the Department of Justice dealt with former CIA directors John Deutsch and David Petraeus, who mishandled documents. They will demand equal treatment here. They will keep the heat on by leaking to the press.

The stonewalling won’t help. The reluctant apologies won’t help. The FBI investigation will keep grinding on, and the intelligence agencies will keep passing out any nuggets they find. If Hillary’s political troubles keep piling up, she won’t make it to the general election. If her legal troubles keep piling up, she’s going to wish the next president was Gerald Ford.
Ford famously pardoned  former President Richard M. Nixon, "for the good of the country."
