——should be criminally charged——
Obama will not bring those charges. That will be left for the next president
Obama is now reduced to intentional fouls while running out the clock (a little March Madness reference there)
Agreed,if she went to the trouble to conceal documents on A private server,she sure as hell was not going to sign a form making her criminally liable for something she was actually doing at the time.
The question is what trouble is she in for not signing the form,and now the pronouncement by Serpent head that Hillary did this so congressman could not read her emails,seems to me she should be prosecuted in either case she obviously had this all planned
Why aren’t Boehner and McConnell saying anything?
1) They are lickspittles and cowards.
2) It’s not their job.
The House and Senate have no jurisdiction over criminal matters. Also, why risk derailing the story by getting involved? This is the best time to sit back and let it all play out for a while - allowing team Hillary to point to their "attacks" would be counter-productive at this point.
“Because they support Democrats as a one party system.”
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The USA is ruled by a republicrat oligarchy which has two faces. These faces are shown to their respective constituents to fool the ignorant populace into believing that they are actually represented in the government.
The constitutional republic has become a pathetic joke.
They have skeletons in their closets as well. Obama and Hillary know what they are.
“Why Are Boehner And McConnell Quiet?”........
There is a simple answer to that question and the answer is, because they are democrats hiding behind republican credentials.
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency
Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

You said it much better than I. It is the only deduction of the facts as we know them. I don’t know why there is a question about it. Even if this signed exit form surfaces (like the Rose Law Firm magic box surfaced) it will be illegitimate, produced for the scandal at hand.
The “smartest woman in the world” and an attorney no less, doesn’t know criminal conduct against the government when she is engaged in it?
The smartest woman in the world is going to reveal herself to be possibly the dumbest? Or else, she has certain guarantees that she will undoubtedly skate any and all charges— charges to which only 100% of the little people are subject, 100% of the time.
