(Sep 9, 2015) As a former Justice Department official, I have, of late, been asked by both Democratic and Republican friends whether Hillary Clinton could be indicted for her email related actions. The simple answer is yes she, and perhaps some of her senior staff, could be indicted for violating a number of federal criminal statutes.

Fix is in
Repeat
FIX IS IN.
Nothing to see here. Move along
How about treason.
Change “could” to “will not” and it will be fixed.
Change will not to “will not unless Trump appoints a new AG” and then it will be really fixed.
In the old days Hillary could be arrested for personating a female. She and Huma could be incarcerated for moral turpitude.
Your defeatist attitude is a disgrace.
I’d love to see her entire staff charged. In fact, why just her. Weren’t the Watergate plumbers indicted and sent to prison?
I’d like to see Bill Clinton himself, indicted and put on trial. In fact, I have no problem that they take their time going after him after the election. The new president can let the system run its course, and let the justice dept, hopefully under the head of someone like Chris Christie or Rudy.
The MSM and American people went after NIXON with a vengeance. No quarter was spared. The left relished the whole debacle.
Well, it’s pay back time folks. Hillary Clinton was part of that feeding frenzy. It’s pay back time Ms Baby Boomer.
What about charges that could be brought by the Fashion Police?
The rest of the article may be correct, but there's no requirement for #3, at least for the first law he cites.
He does qualify this:
The requisite mens rea is the willful commission of the prohibited conduct and the knowledge that compromised information could result in prejudice or injury to the United States or advantage to any foreign nation. Proof of intent to disclose the classified information is not required.
What he overlooked was the "gross negligence" clause:
Hillary might be able to wiggle out from under the "gross negligence" clause by claiming that someone else was responsible for the server. That's laughable, but Pagliano and company just might be scared enough of the Clinton machine to take the fall for her.
But, take a look at the second clause I highlighted. Hillary also had the responsibility to report a breach of classified information. But, she never did so.
This one is a lot harder to wiggle out from. Although she has claimed nothing was "marked classified" (which actually turned out to be false), the law doesn't make that distinction. And, there are certain things about which classification level is not in dispute: information that reveals methods of intelligence collection is considered to to be classified at the highest level -- top secret and SCI.
Clinton was "read in" to SCI, and signed a separate NDA agreement. All of this would have been explained to her.
If the FBI announces they will not indict - there will be plenty of leaks from disgruntled FBI employees as to what went on in the investigation and ultimate decision. This issue is like the hydra - you cut off one head and eight more emerge.
“The president will allow Hillary Clinton and her aides to tough it out for as long it is politically possible. However, if and when the political and public opinion costs of a tough it out tactic become too great, President Obama will simply use that famous pen of his to issue a succinct pardon and make formal mockery of the concept of equal justice.”
What most of us want to know is how could they not be indicted for violating a number of federal criminal statutes?
Where can we get a Get Out Of Indictment Free card?
I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of her staff is charged. Whoever sent classified information to Hillary's server committed a crime, if they held a security clearance.
Yep!! perfectly played!! She gets questioned on a three day holiday weekend when nobody is paying attention... so come Tuesday the mediawhores across every channel will trumpet the not guilty verdict! The majority of Americans Folk will probably wake up on Tuesday saying what the heck we didn’t even know she was being questioned! These people are evil and experts at the game of ripped off and rigged..they invented the rules!!! One reason why our country is facing so much criminal activIty...Nobody trembles at authority anymore!!
racketeering
money laundering
witness intimidation
securities fraud
espionage
campaign finance fraud
mishandling of classified information
bribery
accepting bribes
contempt of Congress
obstruction of justice
evidence tampering
heck, that’s just off the top of my head
Congress republicans will close their ears eyes and mouths.
This is what’s happening ...Call it defeatist. But I see a light of that at the end of the tunnel. I do not believe Hillary can beat Trump. If you’re going to indict her do it after the election. I do believe the Pajama Boys who won’t vote from r Hillary, WILL vote for Bernie.
The millennials will stay home if Hillary is the candidate.
Big difference between could be and will be
Even with eight crimes, it’s only the very tippy top of the Clinton Crime Familiy’s iceberg of crimes.
