Over the weekend, The Huffington Post inexplicably removed an article on from its website which claimed that the FBI plans to indict Hillary Clinton on federal racketeering charges. HuffPo freelance contributor Frank Huguenard, a scientist and public speaker, posted an article on the site’s blog entitled “Hillary Clinton to be Indicted on Federal Racketeering Charges.” Specifically Huguenard wrote, “James Comey and The FBI will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the Department of Justice, that includes a cogent argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.”
It was unclear if the post had been removed because HuffPo found it non-factual or offensive. However, while Huguenard may have been silenced, if for only purely optical reasons, a repeat attack on Hillary came from an unexpected source: Susan Sarandon.
As the Washington Examiner notes, Sarandon predicted on Thursday that Hillary Clinton will be indicted over her use of a private email system while at the State Department. Sarandon, an outspoken supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders, told MSNBC Thursday that she made the remark when discussing the potential of flipping some superdelegates who support Clinton to Sanders side.
“Nobody’s even talking about this indictment. What happens with that?” Sarandon told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing. “Besides the trust issue of catching her in so many lies…”
“Well, there has been no indictment,” Jansing responded.
“No, but there’s going to be. There’s going to be. I mean, it’s inevitable,” Sarandon said. “[W]e don’t know that he’s not going to get the numbers either,” Sarandon added one minute into the clip below.
The famed actress also said that it is unlikely that she will back Clinton if she were to win the Democratic nominee, and pointed to her hawkish foreign policy as a main reason. She has also been a constant critic of Clinton throughout the primary race, having campaign extensively for the Vermont senator. In April, Sarandon tore into critics of female voters supporting Sanders, telling them to stop “shaming” them for doing so.”
Sanders famously declined to make Clinton’s use of a private server an issue in the campaign, saying in the first Democratic debate that he was tired of hearing about her “damn emails.” In retrospect he probably wishes he had not said that as the campaign between the two turns increasingly more vicious.
Sarandon’s animosity toward Clinton is not new: in March, she suggested in an interview that if left between Trump and Clinton as the two major party nominees, America may be better off with Trump.
As the inquisitr adds, in a conversation captured by the Daily Beast, Sarandon complained to MSNBC‘s Chris Hayes that Clinton “doesn’t even want to fight for a $15 minimum wage.” When asked if she believed Sanders would encourage his voters to support Hillary Clinton in November if she got the Democratic nomination, she said, “I think Bernie would probably encourage people, because he doesn’t have any ego in this thing. But I think a lot of people are, ‘Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to [vote for Clinton].’ ”
When Hayes asked if she would vote for Clinton, Sarandon replied, “I don’t know. I’m going to see what happens.”
“Really?” Hayes asked incredulously.
“Really,” Sarandon said, “some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately if he gets in, things will really explode.”
Hayes asked if she thought this was “dangerous” to which her response was that “it’s dangerous to think that we can continue the way we are with the militarized police force, with privatized prisons, with the death penalty, with the low minimum wage, threats to women’s rights and think you can’t do something huge to turn that around,” she responded.
What is surprising is that to Sarandon that answer is Bernie Sanders, even if she is ultimately right about Hillary Clinton.
