Here's Why FBI Director Comey Can't Give Hillary A Free Pass
Investors Business Daily ^ | Jul 2, 2016 | Scott S. Powell

Posted on 07/05/2016 1:23:56 AM PDT by Ray76

The facts known about actions taken by Hillary Clinton while secretary of state surrounding the use of an unsecure private email server for conducting government business show that she violated 10 federal statutes. Several are national-security-related felonies, just three of which include: 1. disclosure of classified information (22 documents were Top Secret), 2. unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents, and 3. destruction of evidence (erasure of the hard drive and deletion of some 30,000 emails by Secretary Clinton) after a government investigation had commenced (Benghazi hearings began Oct. 10, 2012).

Comey knows of a related but lesser law violation in handling classified material by General David Petraeus that was recently adjudicated. Petraeus was fined $100,000 and sentenced to two years' probation for providing his personal notebooks containing classified information to his biographer, although no classified information was ever exposed. Hillary Clinton's email server containing more voluminous classified and Top Secret information was reportedly breached and exposed by notorious Romanian hacker "Guccifer" and by the Russians (who have 20,000 Clinton server emails in their possession). So Comey can't easily give Secretary Clinton a pass and at the same time be true to his oath of office.

The country is now at the edge of an abyss from years of obfuscation, unaccountability, subterfuge and law evasion by the Obama administration that have numbed much of its citizenry into an acceptance of government corruption and abuse of power.

What is obvious; what is irrefutable: what is reality has no bearing on whether something under the control of Hussein or the Clintons happens or doesn’t happen. The keeping, concentrating, and expanding of power are the only considerations.

Oath of office? Hell that's for us commoners, not the bosses.

The government is illegitimate and effectively has no authority at the present time. That does not prevent it from taking power totally and squashing all dissent. Power and Authority are not synonymous.

If the fix is in, you can bet that the FBI and DOJ will spin the findings to minimize the damage politically to Hillary. They will spread the blame around including to the State Department that allowed her to operate a private server to conduct official business. The bottom line will be a slap on the wrist.

The Dems and the MSM will assert that Hillary commited some minor infractions that the VRWC made into a witch hunt. It will be treated as just another Benghazi. Hillary will be the victim of another politically motivated attack seeking to prevent the election of our first woman President.

Look for some weak guilty charges against Hillary creating the impression that justice was done.

-- It will be the final nullification of the rule of law in this country, and anarchy will reign. --

The federal government could collapse entirely, and many people would not notice any change. We have layers of law and order givers in this country. The fact that feds are running without moral justification doesn't mean that the states and localities are.

Just saying, there are multiple safeguards against literal anarchy, all the way down to your neighborhood.

The government's authority flows from the barrel of a gun.

At this point, that's all they have. They don't have legitimacy and they certainly don't have Constitutional authority for their lawlessness. The compact is broken.

If either of them fail to do what the law demands, the government will effectively become illegitimate, and without any authority to function at all.

The government will become the bandidos in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - they don't need no steenking badges!

Just their automatic weapons and their phony "government writs"...

I’m sure that many people hoped Clinton’s impeachment would end with a conviction, but if it had, Al Gore would have been POTUS.

Similarly, if Hillary is indicted and that puts her out of the race (or worse, generates idiotic sympathy for her resulting in improved popularity), the consequences might be more unpleasant than if she is allowed to skate.

So be careful what you wish for. She can always be investigated for Clinton Foundation mischief later, during Trump’s administration.

Even if she walks, nobody can/will do anything about it.

Loretta Lynch was a lawyer on the Clinton defense team during the 1992 Whitewater corruption investigation.

So, she knows how corrupt the Clintons are - and they know all the dirt on her lying racist past.

It is already that , Windy.

The politicians and bureaucrats, a/k/a, The Ruling Elite/Class consider us, the Citizen, to be nothing more than peons, serfs, slaves, and dirtbags. Not fit to be allowed in their presence without their armed guards nearby. Our sole and only purpose is to work in order to pay the taxes necessary to support their luxurious lifestyle until we die. They ceased regarding us as equals long ago. Also, in their view, the laws, criminal and civil, do not apply to them.

I think that’s been shown to be a different Loretta Lynch.

And she also knows full well that the second that they consider her a threat, that they will kill her quickly, ruthlessly, and without hesitation.

The MSM has been steadily building up Comey’s “amazing integrity” so that we’ll believe him when he takes a dive like Sonny Liston.

I have given up predicting the outcome. One day I think an indictment will happen; next day, they will skate.

My sense is the Clintons are worried, maybe even desperate and are pulling out the stops trying to pressure Lynch into an action which will force a delay.

Worry does not predict outcome. It is anyone’s guess.

It came out before the document burning that there were pages/days of her schedule missing. So yeah, the document burning fits and is a big deal.

The people who you are alluding to have been reared with utmost respect for the law, despite what leaders do. The catalyst for any form of rebellion would warrant a breach in that foundation that violates our conservative nature. Although we would be legitimately fighting to right an immense wrong, initiating so would be as alien as breathing fluorine.

We're ALL on a list that Cankles and her minions are keeping for payback. Why do you think JR is agitated at the reincarnation of the Clinton crime wave?
