Once again....... this needs to be corrected.
NYPD has no jurisdiction or the security clearances to conduct an investigation into emails that involve classified information. None. Zip. Nada.
They cannot act outside the scope of their investigation and that is into Anthony Weiner for his communications with a minor for immoral purposes. That is their investigation.
If (I am sure there were) there were classified emails on the computer device(s) they obtained during their investigation they would be required by law to turn it all over to the FBI.
People must understand this - it’s FBI or congress - those are the only two entities that can investigate this and DOJ has to press charges for FBI. Congress can make lots of noise and potentially impeach her if she is elected or demand charges for lying to congress, but I won’t hold my breath.
It’s all or nothing on Tuesday. If she wins justice will never prevail. If she loses then Trump can call for an independent counsel to lead the investigation for referral of charges.
Many local, state and federal employees are protected from retaliation for reporting legal violations or government waste or fraud by the government agencies they work for. Local, State and Federal employee whistleblowers are protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (WPA) and the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012.
Department of Veterans Affairs physician Katherine Mitchell risked her career to expose the VA’s recent manipulation of scheduling data. Bob Woodward’s “Deep Throat” helped bring the Watergate scandal to light.
Whistleblowers play a critical role in government accountability, and the Senate recognized that fact on Wednesday by passing a resolution designating July 30, 2014 as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day. The vote came by unanimous consent on the 236th anniversary of the first whistleblower law.
According to Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who sponsored Wednesday’s resolution, the original measure was enacted on July 30, 1778. It said: “Resolved that it is the duty of all persons in the service of the United States … to give the earliest information to Congress or any other proper authority of any misconduct, frauds or misdemeanors committed by any persons in the service of these states, which may come to their knowledge.”
By definition, whistleblowers are informants. Many are seen as heroes, but others are controversial. Below are a few examples of famous whistleblowers. You can be the judge of whether they deserve celebration.
Maybe NYPD can’t get involved in classified stuff, but they can publish emails in Weiner’s laptop referring to pedophilia, etc. Tomorrow. Just so voters know what kind of people the Clintons are.
