The Justice Department has reopened the investigation of Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified material on her private email system while she was secretary of state, and is considering offering her a plea bargain if she will agree to plead guilty to charges of breaking the law, according to a Clinton attorney.

The discussion of a plea bargain took place late last month and was offered by a high-ranking Justice Department official to the Clinton lawyer.

During the exploratory talks with the prosecutor, the Clinton attorney was told that despite former FBI Director James Comey's decision last July not to prosecute Hillary, the Justice Department has reexamined the email case and believes there are ample grounds for prosecuting Hillary on a number of counts.

Under the Justice Department's plea offer, Hillary would be required to sign a document admitting that she committed a prosecutable crime. In return, the DOJ would agree not to bring charges against Hillary in connection with the email probe.

Also as part of the agreement, the Justice Department would not proceed with an investigation of Hillary's pay to play deals with foreign governments and businessmen who contributed to the Clinton Foundation or who paid Bill Clinton exorbitant speaking fees.

She is too arrogant to say yes to breaking the law...that is permission then to go full bore. I hope she says no.

[raiderboy]

This is a joke right? How could this ever be done under equality of the application of the law. Even sessions woiuldnt do this crappy deal.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Why let her off on everything?
I don’t care if it’s community service, she has to plead guilty and acknowledge her crimes. Frankly a year in a minimum security lockup would do nicely.

[raiderboy]

This is fake news. Klien is a kook.

[OrangeHoof]

She’d never do it.

[raiderboy]

I don’t believe a word of this garbage. it make zero sense.

[ak267]

There is no fricken way Hillary signs this kind of plea deal.

Why? As far as she’s concerned, she’s untouchable and has at least 40 years of examples to prove it.

Whitewater?
Pfffttt...pleeeease

CattleGate?
Crickets

Travelgate?
Zip

Arkancide?
Zero

#clintonbodycount?
Nada

Global Initiative?
Bupkis

Russian mining deal?
Mmmmmm, not a scratch

Benghazi?
Surely you jest

Libya Invasion
If Qaddafi would of donated ten million to her global fund he’d still be alive.

Emails and hard drives?
Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along

The only way she signs is if they have “the goods” and the DOJ wants blood. Even then, it might be too late as the DOJ ups the ante and increases the “plea deal” penalties to misdemeanors (out of “courtesy”). If that is the case, I doubt there will be jail time but a fine of some sort.

The only way she can face any jail time (even it its a short sentence) is if the DOJ forgoes the plea and goes straight to trial.

TRAIL OF THE CENTURY IF THAT HAPPENS.

Just my two cents...

[Sgt_Schultze]

Wikipedia would sanitize it as a minor trifle and a plea bargain to a minor infraction would be portrayed as a vindictive act by a misogynist president.

WTF! Just let them walk with hundreds of millions, maybe billions of dollars. The Clintons have corrupted the entire government.

[KavMan]

I would agree to GIVE Hillary this plea deal if she agreed to never run for POTUS again but Hillary is already politically DEAD so giving her a plea deal is BS!!!

[SSS Two]

The Clinton attorney cautioned that normally a plea is offered by a prosecutor only upon arraignment, and Hillary has not yet been charged with any crime.

This isn't true. A DC attorney would know that plea agreements are often arranged prior to criminal charges. You can tell when a plea agreement is in the works when the charging instrument is a criminal information instead of an indictment.

Either Clinton's attorney is lying in order to shape the narrative or this whole article is a bunch of BS. I'll wait for further developments.

[Labyrinthos]

Fake news. We at FR b!t@h all the time about the liberal press and their use of anonymous and unnamed sources, and we should hold Newsflax to the same standards.

[A_Former_Democrat]

NO NO NO and NO

Lock her up . ..Screw that, she committed numerous crimes against America, its sovereignty and its people.

NO deals for the bitch. LOCK HER UP

[C210N]

and make her wear a leg bracelet..

THis is Canky your referring to. Don't make 'em that big.

[C210N]

if she wants to be executed by hanging, firing squad, lethal injection, or gas chamber, PERIOD!...

No. Hanging it should be, as it was for Lieutenant André.

[ssaftler]

Hanging it should be, as it was for Lieutenant André

I say let's go medieval on the beyotch. Either the guillotine or drawing and quartering. Maybe both.

[proust]

Since when do we negotiate with terrorists? No deal!

[proust]

My dream...

“Only The Donald could get away with that phrase. Political theater at its finest.
The biggest and best live TV zinger in history IMHO.”

That was the moment Trump won the election.

>> Under the Justice Department's plea offer, Hillary would be required to sign a document admitting that she committed a prosecutable crime. In return, the DOJ would agree not to bring charges against Hillary in connection with the email probe to give her a lethal injection, instead of spending the rest of her life in general population.
