More Smoking Guns - Will Hillary's Next Stop Be The White House Or The Big House?
Submitted by Andrew Napolitano via AntiWar.com,
The federal criminal investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s failure to secure state secrets was ratcheted up earlier this week, and at the same time, the existence of a parallel criminal investigation of another aspect of her behavior was made known. This is the second publicly revealed expansion of the FBI’s investigations in two months.
I have argued for two months that Clinton’s legal woes are either grave or worse than grave. That argument has been based on the hard, now public evidence of her failure to safeguard national security secrets and the known manner in which the Department of Justice addresses these failures.
The failure to safeguard state secrets is an area of the law in which the federal government has been aggressive to the point of being merciless. State secrets are the product of members of the intelligence community’s risking their lives to obtain information.
Before she was entrusted with any state secrets – indeed, on her first full day as secretary of state – Clinton received instruction from FBI agents on how to safeguard them; and she signed an oath swearing to comply with the laws commanding the safekeeping of these secrets. She was warned that the failure to safeguard secrets – known as espionage – would most likely result in aggressive prosecution.
In the cases of others, those threats have been carried out. The Obama Department of Justice prosecuted a young sailor for espionage for sending a selfie to his girlfriend, because in the background of the photo was a view of a sonar screen on a submarine. It prosecuted a heroic Marine for espionage for warning his superiors of the presence of an al-Qaida operative in police garb inside an American encampment in Afghanistan, because he used a Gmail account to send the warning.
It also prosecuted Gen. David Petraeus for espionage for keeping secret and top-secret documents in an unlocked drawer in his desk inside his guarded home. It alleged that he shared those secrets with a friend who also had a security clearance, but it dropped those charges.
The obligation of those to whom state secrets have been entrusted to safeguard them is a rare area in which federal criminal prosecutions can be based on the defendant’s negligence. Stated differently, to prosecute Clinton for espionage, the government need not prove that she intended to expose the secrets.
The evidence of Clinton’s negligence is overwhelming. The FBI now has more than 1,300 protected emails that she received on her insecure server and sent to others – some to their insecure servers. These emails contained confidential, secret or top-secret information, the negligent exposure of which is a criminal act.
One of the top-secret emails she received and forwarded contained a photo taken from an American satellite of the North Korean nuclear facility that detonated a device just last week. Because Clinton failed to safeguard that email, she exposed to hackers and thus to the North Koreans the time, place and manner of American surveillance of them. This type of data is in the highest category of protected secrets.
Last weekend, the State Department released two smoking guns – each an email from Clinton to a State Department subordinate. One instructed a subordinate who was having difficulty getting a document to Clinton that she had not seen by using a secure State Department fax machine to use an insecure fax machine. The other instructed another subordinate to remove the "confidential" or "secret" designation from a document Clinton had not seen before sending it to her. These two emails show a pattern of behavior utterly heedless of the profound responsibilities of the secretary of state, repugnant to her sworn agreement to safeguard state secrets, and criminal at their essence.
Also this past weekend, my Fox News colleagues Katherine Herridge and Pamela Browne learned from government sources that the FBI is investigating whether Clinton made any decisions as secretary of state to benefit her family foundation or her husband’s speaking engagements. If so, this would be profound public corruption.
This investigation was probably provoked by several teams of independent researchers – some of whom are financial experts and have published their work – who have been investigating the Clinton Foundation for a few years. They have amassed a treasure-trove of documents demonstrating fraud and irregularities in fundraising and expenditures, and they have shown a pattern of favorable State Department treatment of foreign entities coinciding with donations by those entities to the Clinton Foundation and their engaging former President Bill Clinton to give speeches.
There are now more than 100 FBI agents investigating Hillary Clinton. Her denial that she is at the core of their work is political claptrap with no connection to reality. It is inconceivable that the FBI would send such vast resources in the present dangerous era on a wild-goose chase.
It is the consensus of many of us who monitor government behavior that the FBI will recommend indictment. That recommendation will go to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who, given Clinton’s former status in the government and current status in the Democratic Party, will no doubt consult the White House.
If a federal grand jury were to indict Clinton for espionage or corruption, that would be fatal to her political career.
If the FBI recommends indictment and the attorney general declines to do so, expect Saturday Night Massacre-like leaks of draft indictments, whistleblower revelations and litigation, and FBI resignations, led by the fiercely independent and intellectually honest FBI Director James Comey himself.
That would be fatal to Clinton’s political career, as well.

Pardon from Obama and then Hillary 2020
Hillary Is go down faster than crack fill artery of toothless wash up street whore. There, beat that!
a liter of fine wodka for that one,
but I had this fleeting thought… that Chelsea’s cell was between Hillary and Bill’s in a new co-ed corrections facility..
in Gitmo.
Skip the Big House – send her to the dungeon. Oh, and “cruel and unusual” shouldn’t apply to her. ;-)
Looney
Obama supposedly hates her guts.
I think her political career is toast.
Hillary for Prison 2016!
" I am not a crook. "
Gee, that phrase may become popular once again!
Uh Oh!
In a nutshell, a man in Texas, named John Parks Trowbridge, Jr., had an IRS tax case. His ranch had a lien placed on it. He went through the court system all the way to the supreme court and has apparently won. What he found out is that the federal and US district courts, both criminal and civil, have no jurisdiction outside of DC and the Territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, etc.).
How he did this was in the following manner: He petitioned the court to prove jurisdiction, and the judges did not respond. Basically they were pleading the 5th by not responding. He took this case to the supreme court twice, and they refused to hear the case both times. For any of these judges to respond, would prove fraud on their part because they know they cannot prove jurisdiction. This would amount to a death sentence for them for treason to the Constitution.
The reason this fraud has gone on so long is that when the US incorporated itself, congress changed the meaning of the word "state" in the laws . So when "state" is used now, to them, it means United States, Incorporated, making you a resident of DC. Since no one in the general public is aware of this, when we use the word "state", we mean Alabama, Minnesota, etc. However, because we don't know this and proceed to do business with the feds we are consenting to being a resident of Washington, DC.
The key here is that, according to a supreme court case that he located and presented to the court, you cannot reside in two places at once. You cannot live in both your town in a state and also live in DC at the same time and the feds cannot treat you as such (as long as you make them aware that you know this secret). So you must never use the word "state" in written documents or verbally with the feds or they have you trapped. As long as you let them know that you know, they will never continue a case, because to do so would let the cat out of the bag, and the public would be informed of the enormous fraud.
Can you imagine the impact this would have on our county? How many people would no longer have to pay taxes to support the federal reserve bankers? How many people would be let out of prison? How much property would have to be returned to the people? How angry would the American public be for the fraud perpetrated on them their entire lives?
This information needs to spread far and wide. How fast can we take back our country? As fast as this information can be circulated throughout this country.

The people who run the Democrat wing of the DemoPublican party are walking a tightrope. Do you shitcan the FBI investigation and stick with Hillary, who clearly has gotten lazy and sloppy in her dotage, or do you throw her under the bus in favor of mounting a last-minute run by Biden-- which presents its own significant challenges? If its the latter, you need to act FAST...so we will know shortly.
Relief pitchers in the bullpen:
There is no shortage of Democrat presidential wannabe's.
Everyone will be surprised by how fast Hillary disappears down the memory hole and how fast the emergency subsitute becomes the media decreed "front runner".
Funny thing that- someone actually believing we have laws. Laws are only there to cherry-pick who to squeeze.

"LORETTA LYNCH?!?" PAGING LORETTA LYNCH!"
Say, just where is our AG anyway?
She's occupied prosecuting soccer officials. Really.
.
You made a good point.
@ Chris,
It's the reason I always refer to it as the Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC. in my posts.
The steps I see coming:
FBI recommends prosecution
White House declines to prosecute
Storm hits the White House (includes many revelations of things swept under the rug so far)
Major 'EVENT' occurs to divert attention.
"Let's all pull together"
Buckle up ZHers, the Kenyan guy will not go out quietly
DoJ delays until after the election.
Option A: Hillary elected. She pardons herself. With military fighting wars in mid-east and far east, "Continuity for the good of the country."
Option B: Hillary defeated. Bill gets to visit her in prison every week with his smug face.
Scary scenario you paint, but if he doesn allow prosecution, Hill & Bill may let loose with a storm of their own and then we get your major 'EVENT' anyway.
She knows what he was doing when Benghazi went down. All he had to was give cross border clearance and the military had discretion to act.
Why was he unable to do that? Hill knows.
Maybe Barry scooped up some info where Hillary calls him the N-Word
Oh Yeah, she be doin some time for that
I thought Barry was ok with being called Nancy.
hilarious !
SuperVinci,
I invited Wifey to join me for my 4th movie in 15 yrs. (13 Hours)
I told her I might shout "Hillary for Prison 2016" in the Theatre, just to check the reaction.
true, but you gotta wonder what kind of dirt she has on certain other high profile people. If she is going down, and her chances of becoming president are toast, the gloves would come off, and she would likely feel she had nothing to lose. If even 1/10th of the stories are true, people the clintons view as "problematic" often suffer an unfortunate fate as well.
Arkancide! But, the Clintons have been living the soft life for the last 15 years; as their skills at extortion and influence peddling have expanded globally, one wonders if maybe their murder skills have gotten a little rusty.
That said-- there is nothing more dangerous than a cornered wolverine.
"what kind of dirt she has on certain other high profile people."
She's gonna spill on Bill... I don't think so.
A cornered wolverine or a cornered pair of cankles in a pantsuit?
The FBI is not going rogue. They are marching to the orders given from behind the curtain. If they want her out of the way they will push it to where she knows to step down or get taken down.
The Clintons know how many citizens have been killed to cover for them in the past. They know they have an easy path to further riches without her bing president. They will not fight beyond a certain point, they will take the easy money. Hey, they even married Hillary's bastard daughter off to a rich but no talent little jewish boy.
If Hillary even meets with them in private and threatens to make public events and names, then something will happen quickly. Was there some Brown? named guy who made such a threat ("if your gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk" in these cases give no warning just release the info without warning or go away)
HILLARY FOR PRISON!
Posted because it's both funny and true. However don't forget that after LBJ got into the presidential seat he was able to erase any and all investigations of his own misdeeds (and there were um, many......).
Much like how 9/11 mysteriously destroyed all evidence both in D.C. (Pentagon area hit was ONI records office) and NYC (both trade center areas hit and building 7 contained a virtual treasure trove of evidence linking black eagle funds to black ops which were "off the books" so to speak). On this one though the little shrub was cleaning up for the big shrub and his crew which went way, way back.
(and in a total mindfuck apparently the former (ONI) was compiling evidence on the latter (NYC records)
And just like that, it's gone-
Enjoy your day.
Information is way more dispersed now than even 15 years ago. She would need to take down the electric grid to keep it hidden and the computers unavailable. And I wouldn't put it past her.

''Obama supposedly hates her guts. I think her political career is toast.''
Ok, if he does, he's had years to ''investigate'' her. So, why is this BS being reported now? She, the original birther, has the goods on Hussein(his real birth certificate, the fact that Bin Laden was never killed, maybe even the truth about the Seal team 6 execution). Hussein cannot indict her and they both know it, so they are resorting to media leaks to pressure her out of the race just ahead of the primaries.
The DONALD Will Have Funn Wit Her...
"A Canadian charity founded by mining billionaire Frank Giustra released a legal opinion Wednesday affirming that its donors have a right to remain anonymous and public disclosure of their information requires their consent.
The charity, the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, has come under scrutiny because of its intimate connection to the New York-based Clinton Foundation, a charitable body established by former U.S. president Bill Clinton in 2001. In 2008, when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the foundation promised to release annually a list of all its contributors."
100% of the money anonymously donated to the Canadian fund is funneled up to the Clintons. I wonder if they can even smell the shit that surrounds them.
Makes you wonder just how much the Chinese "donated", through Canada, to get HiLiary to use a private server.
<== Hillary 2016 BIGG HOUSE...
<== Hillary 2016 WHITE HOUSE...
If Hillary is indict, maybe extradite to low security annex in Benghazi.
Should be safe there considering no youtube videos get uploaded.
Can the "street whore" have herpes?
No, she won't. If she were arrested, it would impune the entire system she worked in. So the system itself wil do nothing until the point where they have to throw someone under the bus.
Accountability, like thought, is not a management function.

Hillary Is go down faster than crack fill artery of toothless wash up street whore. There, beat that!
The only thing Hillary goes down on is beaver.
"She eats more pussy than I do."
Bill Clinton
Hillary probably eats pussy like a retard on bath salts.
I seriously don't think the Demoncratic Party is dumb enough to run her, unless they're totally out of options, or know something we don't know.
Hillary Clinton is a fucking nutcase. She should be locked in a straightjacket.
Her biggest supporters are mostly bulldykes, and conned women, who are stupid enough to believe that a Woman-President will somehow fix all of of the bullshit that's wrong.
You want to know how to fix America?
Replace EVERY politician, who has ever kowtowed to corporations, or any kind of "our group, first"" special interests.
Create higher standards of accountability. - ANY government official shouldn't be allowed to act on inside information...on the contrary, the penalties for their actions should be MORE SEVERE than those of an ordinary citizen, precisely BECAUSE they're placed in a position of trust, on the basis of public confidence.
They should act in good faith, and the penalties stemming from any failure to do so, should be severe enough to far outweigh the incentives.
In short form, remove the incentives.
Simply put:
They get caught dirty, then give them the worst treatment that's legally permissible by law.
Let them FEAR people.
Sure, like that will every happen. Literally asking Congress to enact laws against Congressmen.
For every psychopathic politician voted out of office there are 100 more lined up to take his place. The root cause is an infinite money supply. The power to print allows the One Bank to enslave all of us, including our psychopathic politicians.
Fat fukn chance. Fat fukn chance.
Hillary's going to the Big House. La la la la la.
Actually, I'm sure she already has a verbal agreement with Obama for a pardon for keeping her mouth shut, if it gets to that.
Yadda yadda yadda. The lying cheating corrupt Arkansas trailer trash hiLIAR y cunt-on with the lying cheating Arkansas white trailer trash sexual predator who hangs out with a known pedophile will escape unscathed.
dupe
Doesn't matter. Either way...Slick Willy is taking a stroll to the Whorehouse.
The catch with Obama pardoning her is that he has to pardon her for specific crimes. So anything he doesn't pardon her for is fair game even afterwards, so she's still on the hook for 99.99% of her mischief.
