Will Huma Fall on Her Sword for Hillary?

From Roger Simon at PJ Media:
They say it’s not the crime, but the coverup. But sometimes it’s the crime and the coverup. Hillary Clinton’s metastasizing email scandal is beginning to look more and more like a case of both.

Back in the seventies, Charles Colson of Watergate fame boasted he would “walk over my own grandmother” to assure the election of Richard Nixon. Hillary Clinton — who cut her teeth on the very Watergate investigation before she was “let go” by the House Judiciary Committee under disputed circumstances — now may have to demand the same kind of loyalty from longtime “girl Friday” Huma Abedin.
............................

The question remains, however, what will Huma say or do when interrogated.  Her legal troubles are not just limited to protecting Hillary, as this article at National Review indicates. She is being investigated for improprieties, again multiple, surrounding her work for Teneo Holdings.  Will she think of herself first?  What will her attorneys advise her to do?  At least one of them, Karen Dunn, works with and for David Boies, whose involvement at the highest reaches of government goes back to being Al Gore’s lawyer in Bush v. Gore.  As will be recalled, he lost that one.  Will they be on the side of their client or Mrs. Clinton?  Time will tell.

Or maybe it won’t, because increasing numbers of Democratic leaders are trying to figure out ways to usher Hillary offstage before its too late for their party in 2016. I wouldn’t be surprised if a quiet compromise is worked out, a sudden illness discovered, as Joe Biden is rushed in, riding on a whitish horse while Huma disappears mysteriously from the scene.
The Clintons have a history of finding (recruiting?) fall guys; who were willing to go to jail, flee the country, or commit suicide; to protect them on the climb from the Governor's Mansion in Arkansas to the White House. But will those loyalties extend to Hillary?
