The three pincers:
1. Nascent Congressional perjury investigation--she won't be able to easily squirm out of this one because her Benghazi was made under oath. For all his verbal tap-dancing, Comey specially responded to Rep. Gowdy about each of her lies during the FBI interview.
... a Dubai-based company. His biggest paycheck from the closely-held company — which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands — was in 2014 when he pocketed $2.1 million. GEMS even has two “international” schools in Chicago.
