I believe the opposite is true. HRC will be 'encouraged' to run because that simple fact will defuse any suggestion of political persecution when Brennan Clapper et al are held accountable for FISA abuse. It means we will probably have to wait until after the election to see justice delivered to HRC and Onasty. It will provide hope to the hopeless 5% while the wheels of justice begin to turn.
I agree that was weird. But in any possible answer, I think Hillary thinks Biden is done, Bernie is done, and Warren's plummet is coming soon. Any sensible Dem sees that they don't have a candidate to beat Trump.
My guess is that taking a Russia shot at a Dem might make Hillary look like she cares about Russia meddling whether it supports a Dem or a GOP candidate. Hillary probably thought it would make her look sensible rather than hyper-partisan. And taking a swipe at Tulsi won't hurt the Dems chances in 2020 because Tulsi wasn't going to get the nomination anyway. But they have feared that Tulsi would run independent and hurt the Dem nominee's chances by splitting the vote. So Hillary tried to put a stop to that. Because if Trump wins, Hillary goes down for sure. Four more years of Trump in control of the DOJ will be enough time to make Hillary live out her remaining short life in either poverty or jail.

That's probably accurate.
