March 25, 2015 Clinton Hit With Racketeering Lawsuit Over Emails By Jesse Byrnes
The conservative group Freedom Watch has filed a racketeering lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that accuses her of failing to produce documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The civil suit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, argues that Clinton used her private emails to sell access to other officials in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation.
It alleges that, during her tenure, Clinton withheld documents requested under FOIA regarding State Department waivers given to businesses or individuals doing business with Iran, possibly undermining U.S.-imposed sanctions.
The complaint, which lists Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation as defendants, alleges the Clintons sold access to other U.S. government officials in return for donations to their organization, which they concealed, allegedly, by using a private computer server for her emails operated from their home in Chappaqua, New York.
Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, launched dozens of lawsuits against former President Bill Clinton’s administration.
In the new lawsuit, he alleges that, during Hillary Clinton's tenure, the State Department “clearly leaked” information to New York Times reporter David Sanger on U.S. and Israeli efforts to counteract Iran's nuclear weapons program.

The Congress and no one in it sure aren’t going to do anything. They’re just professional talkers.
We do know that a lot of money flowed into the Clinton Foundation coffers while she was Secretary of State. We shall see how this turns out.
Well, it would be nice to see her convicted by a District Court and then have to appeal for the next step. Any added example of what the Democrat Party is made of now cannot hurt....
Hillary is playing a game of Monopoly and needs a
“GO TO JAIL” card. Hillary Never!
With all these balls in the air, I do not think der Hildebeast has the youthful vigor to juggle them.
Huma might.....
Ah, now we are finally playing hardball like the Democrats do.
It’s been an inexplicably long learning curve, but we are getting at long last getting the hang of it— the instinct to act, and to use language and words precisely.
“Racketeering”. Perfect. I like it.
Probably an overreach that could actually backfire by gaining her sympathy among the average folks. I never thought Hillary could develop sympathy, but this could do it.
Not to mention the uproar by the media.
I sense ‘No Standing’. Probably on grounds of the plaintiff suffered no damage — which would be a civil suit, not a criminal suit anyway. They can make criminal complaints, but they can’t force a criminal trial. That’s the job of District Attorneys and or the Justice Department.
And the MSM is going to appropriately cover this?
I realize that I’m surprised how good it smells...I agree, why not more of this? Dems try to destroy careers of their opponents, do what is within the law to attack them...as do they.

However, Huma is occupied. She has balls of her own to juggle as Mrs Weiner.
I don’t “think” STANDING is an issue here.
I say this because the fight is over FOIA stuff. Klayman asked for it pursuant to that law and she shot him the finger.
That said. I’m not a lawyer and maybe one with expertise on this question will weigh in for us.
I’m more worried about the Liberal judge gauntlet.
Would be nice to see them get some serious mileage out of this and pester the little diva for months, hanging baggage all over her “turn” at the the _residency.
Hillary Clinton Hit With Racketeering Lawsuit Over Emails
Thanks, Hoosiermama.
Using the Civil side of the RICO Act is a smart ploy. It will force the information out and pressure the criminal authorities to act
Which is exactly why we shouldn't even mention it when a Lefty/woman does something illegal/treasonous.....
