Do you believe she will be convicted?

Based on the odds with federal cases, she'll take a plea deal like Hunter "Bagman" Biden did. 98% of federal cases plea out after all. Right now, her whole defense in the media is a series of claims of retaliation, improper procedure, and other trivial objections. She isn't making any attempt to say she's not guilty of what the charges are, just that they're unfair, biased, and unjust.

At this point the government hasn't told her what evidence they have so it's pretty hard for her to talk about the evidence.

She was arraigned today. That means she was formally charged. We'll know what the evidence is within days. If she and her liars... err, lawyers I always seem to get those two confused, think it's weak or invalid we'll hear all about it. If the government has the goods on her, they'll keep screaming how unfair, improper, and even illegal the whole proceeding is.

Under U.S. federal criminal procedure (Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rule 5), the arraignment focuses on entering a plea (which she did: not guilty), advising the defendant of rights, and setting basic case management parameters, such as a trial date of January 26, 2026.

Discovery (the formal exchange of evidence between prosecution and defense) has not yet begun.

Under Federal Rules (Rule 16) and the district's local rules, the prosecution must turn over exculpatory evidence (Brady material) promptly and other discoverable items (e.g., documents, recordings, witness lists) within 21 days of arraignment unless extended.

She will not take a plea. Id bet on that one.

Depends on the evidence. If the feds have her cold, expect her lawyers will argue not to dismiss the charges but reduce them to a minimum. Then they'll try and get a plea deal on the least of them. Unlike Hunter, she's got no one in her corner to take the heat off from the feds.
