General Pertraeus was convicted of this statute. What if no action is taken against H. Clinton?
United States Criminal Code 18USC Section 1924 | 8/30/2015 | Self

Posted on 08/30/2015 7:16:16 PM PDT by Signalman

(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

(b) For purposes of this section, the provision of documents and materials to the Congress shall not constitute an offense under subsection (a). (c) In this section, the term “classified information of the United States” means information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States that has been determined pursuant to law or Executive order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interests of national security.

Question: If Hillary Clinton is not convicted of this statute, (assuming the FBI investigation confirms that a violaton took place) could General Petraeus sue to have his conviction vacated ex post facto on the basis of selective prosecution and the constitutional requirement of equal treatment under the law?

HRC has not worried about a “controlling legal authority “ since she was First Lady of Arkansas. Why start now?

The other matter was the sheer design of a system to get around the rules for handling classified data and managing it for years - a greater violation than a few documents that Petraeus did.

No.

Because the judiciary almost entirely is controlled by the statists, and Hillary is a statist.

Thanks to the progressives the US is now a lawless country. If you serve the state you are exempt.

If the public educational system wasn't so corrupt as well people would recognize whats happening.

With all the bogus liberal “judges” sitting on our bogus liberal “courts”, it’s impossible to convict a DemocRAT crook of anything in this country these days.

You ever try to hold two phones in your hip pockets of a pant suit? It make your ass look fat. That’s why Hillary did it.

Nothing will happen. The FBI is supposedly looking into this. They will say she did nothing wrong and at that moment the FBI loses all possible credibility. No real law enforcement agency in the country will take them seriously. All foreign investigative agencies will also not take them seriously. Federal law enforcement will be seen as a total joke. It will truly be a sad day for this country.

HRC is a politician class person (Untouchable) and is therefore exempt from all laws that apply to you and me.

General Pertraeus was taken down because he is a republican.
This magic negro was afraid of him becoming president so he took him down over a crap ass illegality.
His girlfriend had his schedule on her computer. Ohhhh
While Hill had spy sat info on hers and squat will be done. She is a dem.

This is the Clinton machine. They will drag out the investigation for 10 years. Destroy evidence. Delay, delay, delay. The FBI will delay. Hillary! won’t get convicted of anything and even worse than this if she gets in office.

Number one, you are assuming that the general went to jail because of his law breaking.

Number two, you assume they give two Shiites what you think.
