Conservative pundit Patrick J. Buchanan tells
Newsmax TV he would "put money" on the FBI recommending Hillary Clinton be hit with criminal charges for conducting confidential government business over a private email server when she was secretary of state.
"My expectation, given the depth and length of this investigation, is that they're coming up with something," Buchanan, an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, said Wednesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

"I would not be surprised if the FBI sent a recommendation for an indictment to the Department of Justice. As a matter of fact, if I were a betting man, I would put money on it.
"If the Justice Department would follow with an indictment? I don't know but I'll tell you this race for the presidency, this thing is wide open. It would not surprise me if Hillary now is not the nominee. "
Buchanan is the third major Republican to emerge this week with the opinion that the ongoing FBI probe of Clinton will recommend charges.
Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and
Dick Morris, a political analyst and onetime adviser to President Bill Clinton, told Newsmax charges are imminent.
