Clinton’s legal woes are either grave or worse than grave

hillary-on-fire

WashingtonTimes: 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 Mrs. 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 — Mrs. 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.  more

  1. Bingo. H-Rod is extremely reluctant to throw Huma “under the bus” but when push comes to shove, throw her she will. I can hear it now: “Oh, I trusted Huma implicitely and look how she betrayed that trust! It’s all her fault!”

  2. Reality: A recommended indictment by the FBI is useless in the Department of Injustice.

    Lynch and the DOJ will pit the “political” secrets she knows against the National Security Interests of the Nation….. hillary will not be indicted, Lynch will decide to hell with National Security…. let’s save the DNC.
