Didn’t Martha Stewart go to prison for lying to the FBI?
Val: Well, you don't want this to be a part of your legacy.
Obama: That reminds me, how is that Hillary email thing going?
Bothing with an article like this is like bothering with an article that predicts illary will be indicted.
Yes this is all true...but he won /sarc
So what? The Congress is not about to do anything about it, so . . .We obviously have to amend the Constitution to weaken the supermajority required to convict a POTUS of impeachment. IMHO the governors of the states, rather than the members of the Senate, are more nearly peers of the POTUS and therefore should sit in judgement of any impeachment of the president.
Hillary is disqualified by law from any federal office because of her cavalier treatment of the most sensitive information, and that does not matter. Hillary controls huge troves of money after leaving the WH “dead broke,” and plenty of that money came from foreign governments while she was on the federal dime and thus constitutionally prohibited from accepting any of it.
None of that would be a problem, were it not for the corrupt segment of the population which will vote for Hillary in disregard of the law, equally as cavalier as Hillary herself.
Just one one 10,000 bits of progressive corruption and social-engineering funded by massive government debt from unbacked, manipulated, centrally-controlled Federal Reserve notes.
Hillary’s shredder?
Those financial records are in the closet in Colorado with hillary’s server.
The thug who is now the head of the FBI - currently wasting cowboys in Oregon with gleeful abandon - is the genius who thought it all up:Marth Stewart conviction.
If Comey the Corrupt applied half of his BS to the administration that he prostitutes for, the entire White House staff would be in prison.
Some of the bloggers that post on FR like to periodically remind us that water is wet.
That was a charge, but not one for which she was convicted. From CNN:
The panel of eight women and four men began deliberating Wednesday on whether Stewart and Bacanovic, 41, obstructed justice and lied to the government about her sale of ImClone Systems Inc. stock in December 2001.The conviction came exactly a week after U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum threw out the most serious charge against Stewart -- securities fraud -- which carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The charge -- which the judge had called "novel" during the trial -- accused Stewart of using her own statements that she was innocent as a ploy to mislead investors in her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
I was part of a company that manufactured solar panel fabrication assembly lines at the time. One of my jobs was contacting companies to offer our services.
After reading about Solyndra, I was directed to call them. Upon telling them what our company did, I was informed thusly:
“We aren’t that kind of company.”
“What do you mean you aren’t that kind of company. You’re a solar business aren’t you?”
“No, we aren’t that kind of company.”
*click* (they hung up, not me...I was still waiting for some sort of explanation of what kind of company they WERE...and well...now we know.)
There are two sets of laws. The official set of laws on the books that is applied to ordinary taxpaying citizens; then there is the real set of laws that is not on the books, but is applied to the folks who make the laws, and to the rich, ruling elite.
You can get into the privileged class of the elite if you are powerful and influential, such as hillary and barack. Once you are there, you are not even accused of your crimes. The media gives you a pass. You’re scot free.
The law is for peasants.
Although Solyndra was a private company, moreover, it was using its government loans as a springboard to go public. When the sale of securities is involved, federal law criminalizes fraudulent schemes, false statements of material fact, and statements that omit any “material fact necessary in order to make the statements made . . . not misleading.†And we’re not just talking about statements made in required SEC filings. Any statement made to deceive the market can be actionable. In 2003, for example, the Justice Department famously charged Martha Stewart with securities fraud. Among other allegations, prosecutors cited public statements she had made in press releases and at a conference for securities analysts — statements in which she withheld damaging information in an effort to inflate the value of her corporation and its stock.
That’s exactly what President Obama did on May 26, 2010, with his Solyndra friends about to launch their initial public offering of stock. The solar-panel company’s California factory was selected as the fitting site for a presidential speech on the virtues of confiscating taxpayer billions to prop up pie-in-the-sky clean-energy businesses.
Wow! Thanks for telling us about your own personal experience with Solyndra.
Comey’s home office?
