Hillary Clinton investigators were told Obama DOJ 'not willing to charge' her on key espionage...
FOX News ^ | 03-14-2019 | By Gregg Re, Catherine Herridge

An internal chart prepared by federal investigators working on the so-called "Midyear Exam" probe into Hillary Clinton's emails, exclusively reviewed by Fox News, contained the words "NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this" next to a key statute on the mishandling of classified information. The notation appeared to contradict former FBI Director James Comey's repeated claims that his team made its decision that Clinton should not face criminal charges independently.

Fox News has confirmed the chart served as a critical tip that provided the basis for Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe's explosive questioning of former FBI lawyer Lisa Page last year, in which Page agreed with Ratcliffe's characterization that the DOJ had told the FBI that "you're not going to charge gross negligence." A transcript of Page's remarks was published Tuesday as part of a major document release by the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins.

The document, entitled "Espionage Act Charges - Retention/Mishandling," contained a list of several criminal statutes related to the mishandling of classified information, as well as a list of all the elements that prosecutors would need to prove in order to successfully prosecute a case.

Among the statutes listed are 18 U.S.C. 793(d), which covers the “willfull” retention of national defense information that could harm the U.S.; 18 U.S.C. 793(f), which pertains to "gross negligence" in the handling of classified information by permitting the information to be "removed from its proper place of custody"; and 18 U.S.C. 1924, listed as a misdemeanor related to retaining classified materials at an "unauthorized location."

Listed directly below to the elements of 18 U.S.C. 793(f) were the words: "NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this; only known cases are Military, cases when accused lost the information (e.g. thumb drive sent to unknown recipient at...

We may need to add those who prosecute the Clintonistas to the list of those eligible for the Witness Protection Program.

So they are hoping to destroy what is left of Paul Manafort’s life for helping Donald Trump’s campaign, but they want Hillary and Bill to walk free after all the despicable traitorous and murderous things that they have done. I pray for justice, and that would be those two to get about 20 life terms a piece for their crimes. Let the Clinton’s spend the rest of their lives behind bars including Webster Hubbell’s progeny, Chelsea.

A lot of people skirt the law because of money and influence.
Expect Hillary left the impression that you don’t f with the Clintons with the death of Vince Foster.

So she has money, influence and fear working for her.

“So a criminal was set free because she has money and influence.”

No, she was not charged because she was protected by Obama Rats.
That’s how they roll.

Hillary stole a lot of FBI files on a lot of people. Of course she wasn’t charged for this either. She has too much dirt on the corrupt politicians.

This is a free country and people can speak out about Hillary./s

Just ask James McDougal ,Vince Foster, Ron Brown or Seth Richards. Oh, wait, they have all passed away. Natural causes or misadventure, right?/s

Saddest to me was former White House intern Mary Mahoney, July, 1997. Gunmen rushed into a Starbucks and shot her dead and rushed out. No money taken, no customers held up or threatened.

There had been a leak that a female WH intern "M" was going to tell all about Bill Clinton. Shortly after that Monica Lewisnsky, WH intern, was in the headlines.

That’s why they call it Public Serve Us, not public service.

They fought so hard on the negligence charge because it would have been the easiest to prove.

She was clearly negligent.

If found guilty of negligence, she would have received a fairly mild sentence.

The problem was, that in gathering the evidence for the negligence case, Hillary’s awful criminal actions would have been exposed.

The Democrats have spent a lot of money and sacrificed a lot of pawns to protect their criminal Queen.
