Hillary will get a pardon no matter what. She’ll have to withdraw from the race first, probably due to medical issues, to get it. Otherwise a special prosecutor and eventual indictment follows.
The FBI investigation is multifaceted. That was spelled out long ago. The racketeering didn’t see as much press as the emails. That’s beginning to change.
That’s one of many deliberate leaks from the FBI. There’s been enough leaks from multiple sources to float anyone’s boat It’s the message not the messenger that’s important.
That message is simply a continuation of the others the FBI has released via multiple individuals. The one that tied all of them together was the announcement by Comey that the FBI does not do “security reviews”. By extension the FBI only does investigations and as a matter of mission, they are all criminal.
Anyone with critical thinking skills will understand the Clintons are in trouble. It’s interesting that Hillary has the same lawyer Petraeus used. What’s that tell you?
There’s no need to indict Hillary. The FBI has been trying her in the court of public opinion for months. That’s reflected in the steady decline in her approval rating. Hit job or not, it’s working. The recent polls out of Kalifornia confirm it.
Neither have any of the others who channeled info from the FBI. We’re seeing the latest in the match between the FBI and Clinton and her supporters including Obama. Comey’s recent presser was the event that leads credence to the leaks before and now afterwards.
Clinton is the subject of a criminal investigation.
His critical thinking skills are of no interest.
Only the veracity of his information matters.
It may be trash, but it was released in Kalifornia where Sanders has pulled almost even with Hillary in the polls. Clinton abandoned at least one scheduled event in NJ to rush to Kalifornia.
We’re seeing indications of panic. People are starting to talk about Hillary’s electability. That’s the death knell for a politician. The more we see of that, the greater the chance Hillary will be forced to withdraw.
AMEN!
“Frank Hugenard: Hillary Clinton to face Criminal Indictment for Email Abuse ‘Very Soon’”
If Huguenaud is correct, email abuse will not be the headline charge.
According to Snopes, the main charge will be racketeering (RICO) involving the Clinton Foundation:
Initially, Comey had indicated that the investigation into Hillary’s home brewed email server was to be concluded by October of 2015. However, as more and more evidence in the case has come to light, this initial date kept being pushed back as the criminal investigation has expanded well beyond violating State Department regulations to include questions about espionage, perjury and influence peddling.Here’s what we do know. Tens of millions of dollars donated to the Clinton Foundation was funneled to the organization through a Canadian shell company which has made tracing the donors nearly impossible. Less than 10% of donations to the Foundation has actually been released to charitable organizations and $2M that has been traced back to long time Bill Clinton friend Julie McMahon (aka The Energizer). When the official investigation into Hillary’s email server began, she instructed her IT professional to delete over 30,000 emails and cloud backups of her emails older than 30 days at both Platte River Networks and Datto, Inc. The FBI has subsequently recovered the majority, if not all, of Hillary’s deleted emails and are putting together a strong case against her for attempting to cover up her illegal and illicit activities.
A conviction under RICO comes when the Department of Justice proves that the defendant has engaged in two or more examples of racketeering and that the defendant maintained an interest in, participated in or invested in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce. There is ample evidence already in the public record that the Clinton Foundation qualifies as a criminal enterprise and there’s no doubt that the FBI is privy to significantly more evidence than has already been made public.
Under RICO, the sections most relevant in this case will be section 1503 (obstruction of justice), section 1510 (obstruction of criminal investigations) and section 1511 (obstruction of State or local law enforcement). As in the case with Richard Nixon after the Watergate Break-in, it’s the cover-up of a crime that will be the Clintons’ downfall. Furthermore, under provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201, the Clinton Foundation can be held accountable for improprieties relating to bribery. The FBI will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that through the Clinton Foundation, international entities were able to commit bribery in exchange for help in securing business deals, such as the uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan.

While there is an excellent [case] to be made the Hillary committed treasonous actions, the strongest case the FBI has is charging both Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as the Clinton Foundation of Racketeering. There’s no wonder why it’s taken this long for the FBI to bring forward a recommendation. The rabbit hole is so deep on this one that it has taking dozens of investigators to determine the full extent of the crimes that have been committed. Perhaps the most interesting question here is whether or not the FBI’s investigation will be able to directly link The Clinton Foundation with The Hillary Victory Fund. If this happens, the DNC itself may be in jeopardy of accusations of either being an accomplice or of being complicit in racketeering.
