No Indictment Necessary

No Indictment Necessary EDITORIAL: Hillary Clinton's Deeds Will Return To Haunt Her

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - - Wednesday, March 9, 2016 Washington reduces everything to politics, and never more than when a public official is suspected of criminal behavior that would send the average citizen to live a good part of the rest of his life behind the bars of a dreary federal prison. Just now the nation’s capital is abuzz with speculation about Hillary Clinton and her clear violation of the law against playing fast and loose with the nation’s security secrets. The 200-million (or 500-million) dollar question, enough to pay for a presidential campaign, is what will the law do about it.

One mock photograph making viral rounds on the Internet’s social media sites, realistic in its particulars but contrived by a photoshopper, depicts Hillary, dressed in an orange jump suit, sitting on her bunk in a bare cell with an open toilet as her only furniture. “Bill,” she asks her visitor, “how long will I have to be in here?” Bubba, with bowed head and trying not to crack up, answers: “At this point, what difference does it make?”

Harsh, and perhaps cruel, but it makes the point that Hillary is in deep trouble, trouble with lethal perception if not actual reality. The expanding FBI investigation into her abuse of her private email server is far more serious than Bernie Sanders and the Democrats may think it is.

President Obama, who is counting on Hillary to preserve the damage he has done over seven years and counting, concedes that “she made a mistake” with her email server, but offers the wishful assurance that it was “not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.” This is worthless as assurance, ........

How’s that? She has a huge chance of being elected. What penalty is she scheduled to pay? This article is pure nonsense.

Anyone else would be indicted by now. What about our ‘equal protection under the law’? How about protecting our country?

Indictment of Hillary is necessary. Also necessary is her trial, conviction, sentencing, and execution of sentence for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Obama knows that Hillary is petty and vindictive.

He knows that a President Hillary would come after him and his cronies.

Obama will protect himself.

Since when does the FBI need the okay from Obonzo and Lynch to arrest someone who has committed a crime and put them in jail to await trial?

The FBI arrests guys around here arrest people all of the time and I've never heard them say they were awaiting approval from Obonzo and Lynch.

Indictment is not necessary. Due to the confusion over classification of the emails and her careful answers, much of the public doesn’t understand. Still her popularity is going nowhere but down. There’s a war being waged between the leaks from FBI sources and Hillary’s excuses and the comments from the executive branch. The details of the bribery and tax evasion however, will be well understood by the American public.

She’s becoming ineluctable. That will accelerate around May when the subpoenas area delivered.

Bull fricking crap.

To have ANY semblance of a society founded on the rule of law, she must be indicted, she needs to be convicted, and to serve out a lengthy term in prison for her treasonous acts.

I disagree. The country need her to be indicted and convicted to prove that the law applies to everybody.

If the FBI can show that a foreign intelligence service tapped into Clinton’s unsecured server (which I believe is highly likely) she is done for.

According to reports, she had TS/SCI (intelligence sources and methods) and SAP (Special Access Program) information on the server, possible revealing identities of CIA or other undercover sources working in foreign countries.

This is serious stuff.

Still waiting to hear who, in the Cclinton administration, hired David Livingston.

Meatloaf...

Was that you yesterday on this topic that mentioned May? Ok I'll bite, Why May?

FWIW this is about the rule of law and that she isn't above it. Indict, end of story...

Now, now, let's not go overboard.

If a precedent is set where political leaders can be prosecuted for using "poor judgment", it might lead to mass indictments. Thousands of politicians sent to prison.

Politicians would not want to spend hundreds of millions of dollars just to make life better for people they don't even know.

Scenario: 1. Hillary is indicted. 2. Obama pardons her "for the good of the country". 3. Her campaign continues without missing a beat.
