WHAA..? – AT 8:05 A.M. ET:  Now that all the victory shouting is over, and Hillary has had her "first woman to..." moment, it's back to hard politics.  She is facing an FBI probe, but assures us that nothing will come of it.  From Fox: 

Hillary Clinton doubled down Wednesday on claims that her personal email scandal will not hurt her presidential bid or result in an indictment, in an interview with Fox News in which she made only a passing reference to another more immediate hurdle -- Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The Vermont senator continues to stay in the Democratic primary race despite Clinton securing enough delegates earlier this week to become the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

“I applaud Sen. Sanders' vigorous determined campaign,” Clinton told Fox News's Bret Baier one day after her big win over Sanders in California. “I think that our primary contest was good for the Democratic Party and good for America.”

Clinton said the probe into the Clinton Foundation -- in addition to the controversy about her use of a private email server when secretary of state and the related FBI investigation -- will not impact her general election bid, though such issues did create problems in her primary campaign.

“That's what I'm saying. That happens to be the truth,” Clinton said in the interview.

Clinton also reiterated what she told 1070 Radio on Friday about the FBI probe into the email scandal not resulting in an indictment.

“Absolutely that is not going to happen,” she said. “There is no basis for it. And I'm looking forward to this being wrapped up as soon as possible.”

COMMENT:  Hmm.  I wonder how she knows that.  Has she been assured?  Who would give her such an assurance?  It makes me very uneasy.

The buzz has it that President Obama will endorse Clinton formally in a few days.  But everyone knows that he will make the ultimate decision on whether she'll face legal action.  Isn't an endorsement a conflict of interest?  Gee, I think so.  The contempt for appearances here is pretty bad. 

The idea is floating around that a special prosecutor would be a correct step, taking the Obama White House and Justice Department out of the chain.  I can't see any chance of that.  The appointment of a special prosecutor would probably wreck Clinton's campaign, and Obama doesn't want to ride up Pennsylvania Avenue next January 20th with President-elect Trump.
