BREAKING: Hillary to Announce 2016 Presidential Run This Weekend

That's what Business Insider is reporting, anyway, based on a top source within Hillary's soon-to-be campaign. If that timeline is accurate, may I present to you the simultaneous

commencement and conclusion of the Democratic presidential primary:

A source with knowledge of Hillary Clinton's plans has confirmed she will officially announce her 2016 presidential bid on Saturday or Sunday. This will be imminently followed by campaign travel. A spokesperson for Clinton's campaign team did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Clinton has long been expected to enter the 2016 race.

Hillary Clinton, 67, has yet to fully address the policy-violating, quite possibly illegal, and national security-compromising secret email server she exclusively used to conduct official business as Secretary of State -- excuses for which have fallen apart. Her lawyers deleted tens of thousands of the emails it contained with zero independent oversight, and have since wiped the server clean. She is also facing questions about large foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation during her tenure at State -- many of which were never vetted, and raise questions of quid pro quo corruption and conflicts of interest. Polls show relatively few Americans have started paying attention to the 2016 race. I'll leave you with a certain United States Senator building the case for the Iraq war in 2002:
