Its a deathmatch. She has her orders. She has no choice but to follow them.
Suppose for a moment that what we think we know about The Plan isn't what's really happening behind the scenes? What if Mueller is actually digging in his heels with full intent to drag this into the 2020 election? What if their plan is to drum up more false evidence and use it to remove both Trump and Pence. Then who becomes the defacto president…? Yup. Her!
Maybe she's really not as stupid as we think?
I actually believe that she would be worse as president than Hillary.
