Hillary Clinton's FBI Investigation Is A "Criminal Probe": Post
Following the embarrassing Snafu two weeks ago, in which the NYT reported, then unreported, that Hillary Clinton had sent at least four emails from her personal account containing classified information during her time heading the State Department and as a result both the DOJ and FBI had gotten involved (with lots of confusion over what is active and what is passive voice) many were confused: was or wasn't the DOJ or FBI involved, and if not, why not? After all, there was sufficient evidence of enough negligence to merit at least a fact-finding mission.
Last night we got a part of the answer, when WaPo reported that what the NYT reported, then unreported, was in fact accurate: "The FBI has begun looking into the security of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail setup, contacting in the past week a Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the unusual system, according to two government officials.
Also last week, the FBI contacted Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive in his possession that contains copies of work e-mails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state."
As a reminder, David Kendall is "a prominent Williams & Connolly attorney who defended former CIA director David Petraeus against charges of mishandling classified information." That Clinton has resorted to using him reveals just how far she thinks this could escalate.
As the WaPo further added, "the FBI’s interest in Clinton’s e-mail system comes after the intelligence community’s inspector general referred the issue to the Justice Department in July. Intelligence officials expressed concern that some sensitive information was not in the government’s possession and could be “compromised.” The referral did not accuse Clinton of any wrongdoing, and the two officials said Tuesday that the FBI is not targeting her."
Maybe that's true, or maybe that's how the Amazon Post was told to spin the narrative. However, moments ago a far less liberal outlet, came out with its own interpretation of the ongoing FBI escalation involving Hillary, and according to the NY Post, "the FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unsecured e-mail account is not just a fact-finding venture — it’s a criminal probe, sources told The Post on Wednesday."
The feds are investigating to what extent Clinton relied on her home server and other private devices to send and store classified documents, according to a federal source with knowledge of the inquiry.
“It’s definitely a criminal probe,” said the source. “I’m not sure why they’re not calling it a criminal probe.
Well, there are several reasons, one of which is that a presidential candidacy would be all but scuttled if they had to fight a criminal probe at the same time as they were trying to convince the rest of the US of their pristine moral character.
The DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI can conduct civil investigations in very limited circumstances,” but that’s not what this is, the source stressed. “In this case, a security violation would lead to criminal charges. Maybe DOJ is trying to protect her campaign.”
Clinton’s camp has downplayed the inquiry as civil and fact-finding in nature. Clinton herself has said she is “confident” that she never knowingly sent or received anything that was classified.
As reported on July 24, the inspector general told Congress that of 40 Clinton e-mails randomly reviewed as a sample of her correspondence as secretary of state, four contained classified information. Post adds that "if Clinton is proven to have knowingly sent, received or stored classified information in an unauthorized location, she risks prosecution under the same misdemeanor federal security statute used to prosecute former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, said former federal prosecutor Bradley Simon."
Which also explains why she hired his lawyer.
The statute — which was also used to prosecute Bill Clinton’s national security adviser, Sandy Berger, in 2005, is rarely used and would be subject to the discretion of the attorney general.
Still, “They didn’t hesitate to charge Gen. Petraeus with doing the same thing, downloading documents that are classified,” Simon said. “The threshold under the statute is not high — they only need to prove there was an unauthorized removal and retention” of classified material, he said.
“My guess is they’re looking to see if there’s been either any breach of that data that’s gone into the wrong hands [in Clinton’s case], through their counter-intelligence group, or they are looking to see if a crime has been committed,” said Makin Delrahim, former chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, who served as a deputy assistant secretary in the Bush DOJ.
“They’re not in the business of providing advisory security services,” Delrahim said of the FBI. “This is real.”
To be sure, this may just be the Post trying to stir the pot with its "sources" ahead of what promises to be the most watched republican primary debate in history. But on the off chance Rupert Murdoch's outlet is accurate, then one wonders why and how did Obama greenlight such an investigation, whose blessing could only come from the very top.
And if the administration has decided to sacrifice Hillary, whose favorability numbers just plunged to the point she may not need outside help to prematurely end her presidential run, just who does the current regime have in mind for the next US president?

Would have loved to have seen somebody disagree with Jeb, turn around and walk into the parking lot to wait for him. Of course all that would happen is a black helicopter would pluck the guy up never to be seen again.
How nice, Hillary's $600 haircut and an orange jumpsuit.
LOL, Obama and his cronies hate Hillary. They would like to see her in jail.
You are right, and his crew is systematically unravelling both the neo-cons and clintoons. I have been watching closely and am actually really proud of him. not sarc. Blaze the down arrow if you want people, but he has done much more enduring good for this country than bad. Admitting there is plenty of bad. wait and see.
The "law" ... how quaint.
Sadly, this is probably the least of her crimes....
Not probably...Benghazi
There are freezers in Benghazi? I thought that they had a desert for that.
Lots of dead bodies in her closet. Vince Foster.
The freezer is where I would look.
You know those dinner parties she hosted ......
Let's see the FBI or "For Bureaucrats Inc" will investigate one of their own; what could go wrong for Hillary? Just remember that the Bush and Clinton famiLies are very close, probably inbred. Therefore if Hillary gets thrown under the bus, then Jeb Bush gets the same bus ride OR their is some fighting within the family OR...OR....OR there will be no election and we will have King Obama. I'm guessing the latter just because it is , well a guess.
All in all still good news I'll take it.
In the early stages of this scandal I heard they were investigating the computer and I thought, "Investigating a computer?" What she did was worse than Snowden and they began an international man hunt for him.
Chris'sakes, the damn computer didn't do anything wrong. They should have seized the computer yesterday and be investigating Hildebeast with no bail. Seriously? A private server in your house for personal activity and conducting foreign affairs at the highest levels in order to avoid using the approved legal server? Sure why not, they probably all have one by now.
Don't forget the Muslim Brotherhood Princess, Huma Abedin, was the person with the 2nd most access to that server. Google up Huma's ties to the MB, it's pretty astonishing she is allowed any kind of clearance at all.
No, she should not have that kind of access.
Does it work when a white guys says it???
BURN THIS BITCH DOWN!!!
I believe she is 100% guilty! Unfortunately, nothing ever sticks with the Teflon Clinton's. They always find a way out, some excuse, often but not always living just within the law, entangled in a web of jumbled legalize but never doing what is ethical!
For me, it is Bernie or bust! If Clinton wins the nomination, I will campaign for Jill Stein of the Green Party. I am currently campaigning for Sanders. He is honest, ethical, concerned, and consistent.
Ben Carson is the only one with an ounce of integrity, which is why it would take a supernatural act of God for him to win and stay alive at the same time.
TPTB must want Jeb Bush. The Wall Street $$$$$$ is now equally divided.
And it is 2016. The Progressives got their 8 years, now time for the Repubs.
Whatever, it doesn't matter to the Oligarchs. They must laugh, looking at everyone scurring around. In response to their hidden directives.
I just wonder, though. Like all humans, these people die. Why do they act like this? They want some "legacy?" Why? Hitler has a "legacy."
Is that good?
History proves your theory to be true; if you look at the number of Presidents and the party affiliation; I believe it is about 50/50.
Dream on nitwits....ain't gonna be no prison for that fuglyswog cunt.....It will never get to an indictment. I'll bet a Grand on it....to any takers....Simply Theatre while she collects another 100 million or more for her campaign chest...which is her to keep free and clear of any taxes and encumbrances. Vindication will come when that fucking bitch is lying in state and Beelzebub is welcoming her to the fiery pit.
Oh....and Little Chelsea HUbble just landed a BIG Vanity Fair spread....sure to rake in some big bucks. GET THESE FUCKING ASSHATS OUT OF OUR FACE. HOLY CHIT....THAT LITTLE DEMON SPAWN IS MORE THAN I CAN TAKE......
It's not just theater, it's pressure designed to try to get her out. If she doesn't budge, it means she has enough dirt to take BHO completely down. I'd bet, maybe not a grand, that she does.
Shit, ZH has enough dirt on BHO to bring him down.
America doesn't give one single fuck - they're still chasing that carrot.
Based on your own words and attitudes and knowing the moral perfection one needs to avoid the "fiery pit"; you will also be joining her as will most. For most neglect the free gift of forgiveness, love and reconciliation provided by the Lord.

and you say that as if it is a negative? I'll have a front row seat.
Hit the bricks Pope Francis. Don't you have a pair of socks to wash before tomorrow morning?
From now on I am going to thumb through Vanity Fair at the supermarket check out lines to see who their advertisers are so I can boycott them. Buy it again? Never!!
Here we go again.
Hillary was inevitable in 2008 and things didn't work out. But Democrats landed on there feet.
2016: press rewind and play again.
Hillary is neither inevitable not indispensible. Democrats will survive. Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren will make them forget Hillary.
Correct. And win or lose, people need to understand that presidential campaigns are like the ultimate road trip for cronies and their kids. tax free money donated, then doubled up on by donors writing it off their taxes. the campaigns themselves are also tax free as they spend it. the cronies kids get jobs "working" for these campaigns. You know, banquets, private concerts with top talent, booze, babes, drugs. 5 star hotels, 1st class airfare or the party buses.
Also when baggage train of these war parties roll anywhere close to your town, they will request your local law enforcement to provide security for free. 90% of the time the cheifs bend over backwards(Overtime, kickbacks, and higher local taxes)
The low end peeps on the totem pole have to "volenteer" at local campaign offices, which are usually rented from donors.
You said it. other have said it. this is her hint to enjoy her last world tour. they will drag the case out and drop it. Remeber the clintoons BFFs are all $10,000/hr lawyers and since the case involves the clinton foundation, they will have to spend it from the coffers, putting shoes on children and food on tables has to wait. Sanders, warren, Biden, other will get the nod. Bubba and Hillary live happily ever after spending their billions and running their foundation. She gets to go down in history with a "clean" record.
Yes, they fly quite often.
How many becquerels are on that flight?
In the old days, not too many, but since they are the leaders of our banana republic I'd say a signifigant amount, based on the inflight pantry.
Yes, and no melting allowed here.
Yea...But Hillary is still a bitch.
Oh for crying out loud just hang the bitch already. Guilty or not, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE???
No, I do believe that the Deep State has decided that Hillary is done. The world is bit too crazy and the Fed is dying, and the Trumpinator is stomping everybody in sight. Hillary is a blithering idiot claiming "the server was protected by 2 Secret Service agents".
The US public is at a point where Hillary is a 3rd rail for most thinking and working people.... you know the 53%. Deep State certainly does not want Trump thinking that he is actually real, so they take down Hillary to make roon for an "unexpected" REP winner. It will not be JEB.
Walker, possibly Kasich makes a late run, and on the outside chance is Cruz. Carson or Fiorina is the VP.
The Clintons will be lucky to keep their ill gotten lucre ($200MM). Even their $ 2 Billion Clinton Foundation scam, will be attacked. Watch Al Sharpton shake the down for a few 10 Mil...you know...in a Harlem kind of way for the 1st Black President.
"Maybe DOJ is trying to protect her campaign.”
Literally how in the sweet holy fuck is the DOJ responsibile for protecting a candidate's run for office?
The thought of this is more appalling than descriptions of the most depraved sexual acts between messrs Clinton and Yellen - all three of them.
Sure darn can't wait until they hang the hag.
Got some of granny's rotten pig gut soup to throw on her after she catches on fire.

Dog and Pony show.... Guaranteed to end with, "see I told you I did nothing wrong".
+1 the doj will whitewash that bitch for sure
All neat and tidy, Cankles gets removed from the race, The Sayanim Trump splits the Republican party and the Zio Commie Sanders is the new President.
Sayanims are Kochs and Adelson. And Marlon Brando was.
Trump is a burden.
However I do not rule out, that they will blackmail him with anything in the near future.
I dunno, his wife and his kid's spouse are of the tribe. He is getting to much press for him to be real. Nobody is calling him crazy like they did Ron Paul.
In medieval ages in Europe she would be drawned.
Unfortunatelly Europe is today occupied by US.
Brando is pissed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv4UOwAWhpU
Brando is pissed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv4UOwAWhpU
Hillary and Bush are persona non grata
People still don't fucking understand. It's all a publicity stunt. They announced some series investigation to give everyone's impression this case has been thoroughly investigated. I have no doubt the case will be dropped without charge and I will put money on it. It's the same fucking drama with the banks.
So Hiliary can go to public and say: "You see, I am clean. Now fuck off".
Insiders and political royalty are protected and will never be prosecuted for anything. You go after me and someone else will go after you. It's political mutually assured destruction. So, yes, this is a stunt to cleanse the Hilary.
the doj is a fucking joke.
BH: Look out the window, Hitlery!
H: The Feds! You bastard!
BH:They're gonna get your server (mocking tone).
H: Guess what I'm holding, BH? A letter from Frank Marshall Davis. And a CIA report.
BH: Wait! That's not fair!
H: Cackle cackle!
BH: Guess what I'm holding? A letter from Vince!
H: You would not dare!
Criminal probe? That could be an accurate reference to Bill's 'little man'.
The Civil Service should of prevented this from happening. Its as much a fault of secretary of state's staff for allowing this to happen. Only problem I see is if Barry knew about this. He's the boss.
if necessary owebomba will pardon himself and his entire staff including hitlary. laws are for little people.
If you cut to the chase using Occam's razor logic the message here is that OBama has the possibility to spike Hillary's bid for Presidency on the basis of a "technicality" that could leave the Demo candidacy open to a "dark horse".
Who is that dark horse and is Obama trying to play kingmaker for the next demo candidate who will not be a neo-con clone of the Clinton/Nuland team?
Well imagine if the next US presidential election were a run off between Trump and a Demo "dark horse"?
Shades of 1976 fight betweeen Peanut Carter and Gerald "can't chew and think all at once " Ford!
Demos won : 50/48 !
Does not matter who it is, with the sole exception of the cheesy thighed, doughface hermaphrodite who has obliterated 30,000 e-mails. If you believe that in the 30,000 there is no evidence of her total corruption, lawbreaking, favoritism to donors, her utter megalomania for the Oral Office, then you believe that Ron Brown's airplane crash was an accident, Vince Foster was depressed, and bill clinton is not an abuser of women, or a rapist or another megalomaniac.
It is a very damning commentary on the 45% of the people who will vote for her no matter what she does. This obsession with one woman for all these years, as if there is no one else in this universe, galaxy or all the others who would be a decent, honorable candidate without all the baggage she brings to the party.
"Cheesy thighed dough faced hermaphrodite"
Classic. Made me chuckle.
And the most horrifying part of it is, is that a post-Obama Hillary will be a lot more dangerous than a pre-Obama Hillary would have been.
Michelle is dark. People are stupid enough to vote for her knowing they would get a third Obama term.
....and the dark horse will be Uncle Joe, who ValJar, Michael, and Blowme are urging to jump in.
Always makes me laugh how virtuous we in the West view ourselves about corruption. Look at Nigeria, look at Thailand, China etc, dirty corrupt countires all of them.
We're as bad, perhaps not briefcases full of $100, it's more subtle than that.
In fact we're actually worse becauseweconvince ourselves we're clean and un-corrupt.
If I was a bookie,I'd offer you 100-1 ON that nothing happens to the douche bag Hillary.
Sadly, we're all to blame, the public gets the politicians it deserves.
At least some us can remember more virtuous times. At least some us actually have ideals that we believe in. It's the Richie Rich's and their elitist whores* who have brought the United States down to the level of a Nigeria or a Kenya. Look! We even have an Indonesian Muslim citizen descended from a Kenyan communist as President! Yes! That's Affirmative Action Barry Soetoro!
The Richie Rich's and their elitist whores have made it impossible to peacefully restore Constitutional Law to the Republic. In so doing, they are making violent revolution inevitable! They will scatter like cockroaches when the revolution begins. But, where in the world do they think they are going to hide? Who in the world do they think will hide them from the Constitutional wrath of the American People? Especially when extradition requests arrive by US Carrier Strike Groups?
*including POSEDs and POSERs. Piece Of S*** Elitist Democrats and Piece Of S*** Elitist Republicans.
While I'm glad to see this resurfacing so the public can be reminded that Hillary is sketchy (and how the duopoly is incapable of producing ethical candidates), I doubt there will be a criminal investigation. Its clear which side of our two tiered justice system the Clintons stand on.

The fix is in. Hillary will be elected President even if not a single living American goes to the polls in November 2016. There are more than enough dead Americans to elect her President by a landslide.
Hitlery brought to you courtesy of Goldman-Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill-Lynch and a host of rich oligarchs. They are all on the list, too!
gregga, you brought up goldman sacks, so this is for you: a recent fund raiser for herself..you know the pol who hates big banks and business..LOL
"DiSalvo said he supplied two deputies to escort Clinton and her entourage from Rifle, where her plane landed, to Aspen and back to Rifle. Three other deputies were on hand at Tuesday’s fundraiser, held at the home of Soledad and Robert Hurst.
Robert Hurst is the former vice chairman of Goldman Sachs and the current managing director of Crestview Advisors, a New York-based investment firm."
...
Wow! Down voted by Hitlery itself!

they wouldn't even throw lois lerner under the bus for clear criminal activity including obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, contempt of congress, criminal conspiracy, they damn sure aren't throwing hitlary under it.
They would because... Howard Schultz:
"What I wanted from the president was an ability to work closely with Republicans in Congress to be able to get things done," Schultz said, noting that he was impressed by the "fantastic leadership" of Obama and Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
"We saw the very best of President Obama, not only leading, but leading with a deep sense of humanity," the Starbucks CEO said.

Starbucks has a plan to alleviate racial tension nationwide, one cup of java at a time.
Starting this week, the coffee chain's baristas will be encouraged to write "Race Together" on customers' cups to spark what will assuredly be even-keeled conversations about the sad state of race relations in America. The campaign is not a panacea, according to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, but rather a way to begin thinking about how the nation can "create a more empathetic and inclusive society — one conversation at a time."

Trump v Schultz
There is NO law in the United States of America. Now it's only rule by and for the rich. In other words, it's only Richie Rich politics! Fine! No one should obey the Richie Rich's Diktats anymore. Say No! to the jury system. Say No! to elections—they are even more rigged than the courts are! Say No! to everything that the Richie Rich's and their elitist whores demand.
All of their names, including their families names, are all on the list. Now back to filling that order for 30,000,000 pikes.

All this is about is a lay up for Hildabeast
Now that the FBI and DOJ are involved (both political criminal agencies themselves), they can let her off the hook and then she can say in every last speech she makes how 'clean' she is.
This is Bullshit
This is a set up and this is just another dog and pony show

Just who does the current regime have in mind for the next US president?
Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump - both TOTALLY controlled or beholden to the Dreadful Few . . . . either one would be their dream come true.
Hillary Clinton is the Lucrezia Borgia of our day!
Au contraire! Lucretia Borgia was a real babe in her day. Hitlery is uglier than a box of rocks. But, I'll concede the point that Hitlery has definitely killed more people than dear Lucrezia.
Nothing to see here. No one is going to tug to hard on the criminal string for fear that someone else may tug on theirs.
All show. DOJ feels they have to enlist the FBI to investigate after the White House pounced on Petraeus for virtually the same thing. Don't expect any indictment, nor even a warning. I'm confident the server has already been swapped out anyway.
Hitlery physically destroyed the server, shredded it in an industrial shredder, after the House Investigative Committee subpoenaed it from It.
Doesn't matter the NSA has the data.
United State Code Title I states explicitly that the United States Code applies only to those whom the Richie Rich says it applies. The Richie Rich have exempted the Clinton's from the USC.

And old Perry is fighting felony charges and it did not slow him down... not that he has a lot going anyways...
My husband and I were just discussing this and our hypothesis is that the Clinton's did something that made Obama hate them and/or Obama wants Biden in.
Biden for 4, then Obama for 8 more.
If the Criminals put her away they will have to put themselves away. not going to happen. Welcome to the big boys club.
